minds of the other taxpayers in the
county because it is only natural
that other property owners upon
glancing at such a statement can
be easily misled when the actual
facts of the case are not given.
Judge McCarrell's farm in Wayne
township is untenanted and has been
for years. The buildings are little
more than ruins and the place has
not ben rented for years. 1t lies
far back in the valley and when
the assessor in the district says he
wouldn't take is as a gift one can
readily see that it not worth even
$500, the assessed valuation.

Sisting of 460 acres. L Will sell 1T
for that if | could get that much,
but | am positive / can't Why
didn't Wells make a move to in
crease the valuations and let the
other officials decide? He says he
hasn't the initiative to act because
he is in the minority? Is his only
duty that of sitting around and
his pay as Il Commissioner? Let
him investigate, be fair and truth
ful about facts and together with
the other commissioners show the
public what these properties are
worth. | want the Commissioners to
take action in this case, hold u Spe-
cial meeting and call any witnesses
they choose. l do not want Wells
to make statements about low as

public into thinking that 1T is be-
cause of influence with assessors.
Scores of persons acquainted with
both tract are willing to tell what
they are worth and ] feel sure that
their estimates will be even lower
than the assessments"
Can't Give 1t Away
Other county officials who have
attended sessions of the board of re-
vision declare that frequently when
important questions about assess
ments are presented for consldera-
ton and action Wells has left the
room. At the meeting the other day
when mention was made OF the val
uations in the two tracts in ques-
ton, assessors told the County Com
missioners that they were positive
the valuations were not too high.
One of them when asked If he
would take Judge McCarrelrs farm
as u gift replied: 81 wouldn't want
it," The fact that it has been un-
tenanted and the ground untitled for
years is we'll known, especially III
that section of the county, and other
property owners there said they
have not been mislead by reports
that the assessments are too low
Some of them told the County Com
missioners they wouldn't accept the
farm if given to them.
Many of Judge McCarrelis frlehds
sharply criticised Wells statements
about the farm assessment, char
acterizing them as decidedly unfair
to the jurist, who is at present con-
fined to his home. A large number
of them only dridiculed the intima-
ton that the property is underas,,
sessed as they know its location and
condition

TO hunters and fishers, both of whom
declare that there is plenty of
game there but intimate the move
TO close the tract is being made to
benefit few individuals.
Stock Big Preserve
Last fall the State Game Com
mission located a game preserve in
this district, covering about $4,000
acres, stocking it with deer, rabbits
and other animals. Many of these,
hunters say, have gone farther away
and have been seen in Clarks and
Powell's Valleys in the tracts which
the water company is endeavoring
TO close. In these areas fishers de-
clare the State established big trout

there. should the public road be
closed, it would give the firm COM

seated timber land TO within a short
distance of the State preserve.
Last Friday the board of viewers
met at Millersburg and started their
investigation preparatory to report
ing to the court the advisability of
witnesses from all parts of the upper
end of the county were present and
it was clearly shown that q bitter
fight would be waged to keep the
timber land open.
One of the reasons which was ad-
Nanced against closing the road was
that ii leads to a cemetery. Persons
who have relatives buried there
complained that they would be un-
able to get to the burial grounds
with the road closed.
Up in Arms
Sportsmen declare they have proof
sufilcient to convince them that the
idea is to shut off the valley from
the public so that few individuals
can reap the benefit of the fish and
game placed on the State preserve.

and meetings have been held in four
of the larger towns in the northern
part of the county. Definite plans
have already been agreed upon in
the campaign, the hunters and fish
ers declaring they will make everv
possible effort to retain the right to
tramp about in the vast timber area.
Allen Budd, a farmer residing far
back in Clark's Valley near Tower

reported that if the valley road is

death SENTENCE
FOR COTTIN, WHO
SHOT CLEMENCEAU
Verdict of Court-Martial Is
Unanimous, Says Dis
patch From Paris
BY Associated Press.

Paris, March 15.-Emile Coffin the
anarchist who recently made an at
tempt upon the life of Premier George
Clemenceau, was today sentenced to
death by the court martial which
was trying him. The verdict of the
court martial was unanimous.
CotNn first conceived the idea of
shooting the premier in May. 1918,
according to an official record read
at the court martial. In May, 1918.
the employees of aviation factories
were on strike. Coffin practiced
shooting after that, it was read.
Fired Seven shots
When the court martial opened the
clerk read the report describing the
attempt on the premier. The report
/, showed that Coffin fred twice with
out moving and then fired five times
while running behind the automo-
bile which he was so close that
one witness believed he had jumped
on the rear of the car. 1t was shown
that Coffin aimed at the seat in which
Premier Clemenceau was sitting and
fired so accurately that two bullets
almost touched.
Rarely has a crime" says the re-
port, been accomplished with more
sustained premeditation, more ma
ture design, and more emplacible te-
nacity with certainty of method
which it seemed would infallibly
lead to fatal result"
Coffin is described in the repor,
as primitive, vain and conceited and
believing himself omniscient He
was able to earn thirty-seven francs
a day easily. yet finding society badly
organized. was desirous of destroy
ing everything. The document gives
expert medical opinion unreservedly
holding Coffin responsible for his ac-
tions.
