At the closing session of the board
little matter of interest came up with
the exception the tax levy. There was
a lot of routine work to be closed up
before the board adjourned to January
14th.
There was the usual effort made to
increase the, county crow bounty from
ten to fifteen cents but an amendment
to the motion was adopted and the
bounty was left at the old figure.
There were the usual happy felieitas-
tions which marked the closing of the

County Board Adjourns on
Friday Afternoon After
Making Record Levy of
Nearly $3.50, 600.
NO LEVY FOR COURT HOUSE
Money for New Building to Be Secured
from the Amounts Received from
Income Tax Collections Little
Business at Final Session,

Inc pUuHCy DOdfu HuJ0uTn6u Oh
Friday afternoon. That was not all
the county solons did. Before they
adjourned they made the biggest tax
levy in the history of Kenosha county
and touched up the people Of the coun-
ty for the record amount Of $348, 425. ST.
The total of the tax levy which IN
clades the state and county taxes IS
something over a hundred thousand
dollars larger than the levy made in
1917 and it is considerably larger than
any other tax levy ever voted by a
|county board. Not one cent of the
present levy is to be expended for
court house construction purposes. The
members of the board plan that the
court house shall be paid for out of
the income taxes received by the
county during the next three years and
these are to be set aside for this pur-
pose. Of course if the county had
diverted the income taxes to the gem
eral fund of the county considerably
smaller tax levy would have been pos.
sible but the members Of the county
board decided that this was an ex-
eellent time to build up fund for
the new county building and with the
consent of a great majority Of the
people they followed that course re-
CARELESS Of the tax levy.
Some of the high lights in the tax
levy for the county are the following
appropriations. For County Tax $780,
1854; for State Tax $86,432.17. For
special charges from state institutions
3,972.95; County Schools $37, $4,000;
County Highways $58,3oo.oo and for
maintenance of WilloWbrook Sanator~
Jun $26, $4,000. 81 5eazas aax
The announcement o fthe county levy
started the things buzzing among the
fnanciers at the city hall and as the
city is to pay some $20S,000 of the
big county levy it was declared at
the city hall this morning that the
people of the city must get ready to
dig and dig deep and that it would
be necessary to make a big increase in
the former mill tax of Is mills. Chair
man Shearer of the Finance Committee
didn Il want to talk but he said the tax
for the city would be higher. City
Clerk Harrington suggested twenty
mills or more and other officials of the
city were on the anxious seat.
The increase in the county tax to
be paid by the city is in the neighbor-
hood of fifty thousand dollars or about
enc mill tax on the present valuation
of the city. This might suggest that
the city Fathers could get 'along
at any rate with a seventeen mill tax
levy for the coming year. It's all to be
settled at the meeting of the finance
committee to be held on Sunday morn
ing and the report of the committee
recommending the levy will go to the
council at the meeting on Monday
evening.
The apportionment of the record
county tax has been made by the Coun-
| ty Clerk and the amounts to be paid
by the various towns and the city are
given as follows:

tie remains Of an old camp, Kaxan'a
teeth were barred in saariing hatred Of
the man-scent that had been left be-
hind. Growing In him there was q DE-
sire for vengeance-vengeance for his
own hurts, and for Gray VOLTS. He
tried to nose out the man-trail under
the cover Of fresh snow, and Gray Wolf
circled around him anxiously. At last
he followed her suilenly. There was q
savage redness In his eyes.
Three days later the new moon came.
And on the nth night Kazan struck q
trail. II was fresh-so fresh that he
stopped as suddenly as though struck
by bullet when he ran upon 1t, and
stood with every muscle In his body
quivering, and his hair on end. It was

the sledge. the dogs feet. and the snow
shoe prints of his enemy.
Then he threw up his head to the
stars, and from his throat there rolled
out over the wide plains the hunt-cry
the wild and savage call for the
pack: Never had he put the savagery
in it that was there tonight. Agnin
and again he sent forth that call, and
then there came an answer and an
other and still another. until Gray Wolf
herself sat back on her launches and
added her voice to Kazan's, and far ont
on the plain white and haggard-faced
man halted his exhausted dogs to lis

stuff for fire. Wee-ah-h-h-h, boys
Koosh-koosh-" and he snapped his
whip over the backs Of his team.
From the bundle at the girls breast
there came a small wailing cry. And
far back in the plain there answered 1t
the scattered voice of the pack.
At last Kazan was on the trail Of
vengeance. He ran slowly at first, with
Gray Wolf close beside him. pausing
every three or four hundred yards to
send forth the cry. A gray leaping form
Joined them from behind. Another
followed. Two came in from the side,
and Kazan's solitary howl gave place
to the wild tongue of the pack. Num-
bers grew, and with increasing number
the pace became swifter. Four-six-
seven-ten-fourteen, by the time the
more open and wind-swept part of the
plain was reached.
It was a strong pack, filed with old
and fearless hunters. Gray Wolf was
the youngest, and she kept close to Ka-
zan's shoulders. She could see nothing
Of his red-shot eyes and dripping jaws,
and would not have understood II she
had seen. But she could feel and she
was thrilled by the spirit of that
strange and mysterious savagery that
had made Kazan forget all things but
hurt and death.
The pack made no sound. There
was only the painting Of breath and the
soft fall Of many feet. They ran swift
ly and close. And always Kazan was a
leap ahead. with Gray Wolf nosing his
shoulder. When at last he saw NOV
ing blotch far out on the plain ahead Of
him, the cry that came out of his
throat was one that Gray Wolf did not
understand.

homes and others in the street. The
Colon theater, which was filled with
people, collapsed. There were many
casualties among the audience. Vari-
Gus hospitals and asylums and the
prisons were badly damaged and
many patients and prisoners were
killed. The railroad depot, sugar
mills, postoffice, the American and

sulate and all the churches in the city
have been leveled. Deep fissures
opened in the middle Of the city.
The inhabitants In panic have fled
from the capital. Scores Of thousands

In the city is scant and aid is required
promptly.
The Salvadorean government has
suspended the official New Year cele-
bration and entered into mourning In

Washington, Dec. 81. - Another
earthquake at Guatemala City Sunday
virtually destroyed the city. A Navy
Department report said everything
was in ruins and that 125,00O people

destroyed in 1541 and 5000 of the In
habitants were killed by deluge of
water from a nearby volcano, which
was rent by an earthquake. The sec
ond capital was destroyed by an earth
