TAX FERRET CLAIM
IS HELD ILLEGAL
Appeal in J. B. Workman Case
Filed in Commission
erS' Court.
News-Times Special Service:

news 1 lines special SerVlces
ELKHART, July 1S.-County Au-
ditOr Bemenderfer mas filed with the
clerk of the ciurcuit court a tran
script of the proceedings of tbs
county commissioners at the June
term, 1857. and the affidavit of aD-
peal of W. W. Haynes and other
taxpayers OF the county. from :he
order of the commissioners allowing
claim Of Joseph b. Workman. tax
ferret for $3.50 as commission for
discovering sequestered property Tor
taxation. The affidavit ALLEGES the
claim was allowed without authori ~
and was illegal and not owing by
the county. The appeal notice was
filed July 3.
Atty. l.. ID. Hall, who prepared the
complaint, alleges the following rea-
sons why the claim should not have
been allowed.
First-That the property was not
discovered by Workman under the
contract or at all.
SecorG-That all property speci-
fed in the claim under the hrst in
stallment of 1916 taxes was on the
1915 duplicate prior TO Jan. 1, 1917,
and was continued from the 1915
duplicate TO the 1916 duplicate by
the auditor; was placed on the dup
Iicate by the auditor and assessor
Third-That all OF the property
mentioned was discovered prior to
1917 and before the 1916 taxes
thereon became due ard payable
III
ed the property mentioned in the
items Of the claim prior TO the time
OF making the contract, and was
paid for his services in the discoy-
cry and placing of the same on the
duplicate and cut Of the county
treasury prior to 1917.
l'ifth-That the property for the
discovery for which the claim is
made and filed is in the Elkhart
county and disclosed in the public
records in the county Offices.
Therefore, and for the reasons
given. the plaintiff appeals to the
circuit court from the order of the
commissioners and the allowance
the claim permits.
The main point in the contention
is that Workman had already been
paid once for discovering the prop
erty and placing it on the duplica-e,
there is no reason why he cannot
continue 10 collect from year to year
as long as the property is carried
forward.
Workman has a three year con-
tract with the county, dated March
-16, 1916, and on all taxes collected
receiy eS 81 percent on sequestered
property collected by him, placed on
the duplicate, and for which is col
lected the taxes This is "A statement
given by MIR. Hall
It is also stated by Mr.. Hall, when
asked who would be responsible for
the payment of the alleged illegal
claim TO the county, in case that the
court nclds that IT was wrongfully
allowed and paid, replied that the
taxpayers would have redress on the
county commissioners.

HAD UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
BEFORE MOVIE CAMERA

E. ForesA Taylor. who comes to
the Montpelier theatre next Monday
night in Carl Mason's new play, For
the Man She Loved" had some rath-
er unique experience In his first APP
pearance before the movie camera,
and to say The least. it taught him a
lesson he wont soon forget.
It was a picture Of the Tennessee
mountains and at the climax of the
story. Mr.. Taylor as the hero" re-
turns to the original spot where he
met his sweetheart" to find her in
a desperate struggle with the vii
lain" This spot happened to be on
top of a cliff twenty-five feet high
with a pool of water ten feet deep at
the bottom The story called for
the hero" to have fight, with the
villain" to the edge of the cliff and
then locked in each others arms fall
over the cliff into the water below
Taylor couldn't swim and so he told
the director. The only consolation
he received was well, we will take
that scene last; then if you are
drowned the picture won't be spoil
ed" So when they came to the
scene the last instructions given to
Taylor were: When you go down,
come up and choke the heavy.
Over they went! Taylor went down
all right, and when he went down
again the heavy" thought he was
drowning and went after him, and
down there four feet under the water
Taylor very nearly killed the said
heavy man" and the camera had
to stop while they pulled both of
the young men out Of the water, very
much the worse for their struggle.
Strange to say. Taylor won the re-
spect of the entire studio force, and
has since learned to paddle"

rested and charged with the crime
above stated. On behalf of Mr.
O'Connor. the Examiner takes this
opportunity of informing his friends
that the charge was absolutely false,
and was so proven by o'Connor as
soon as an opportunity was given
him.

walking toward camp at the time the
real thief ran into the tree. and as
the thief was uninjured in the acct
dent he was able to get away, which
left the arrested man the only person

picked up by the officer who appar-
emily was determined to arrest some
one. He was taken into custody and
was held nearly "a hours before a
