pasture three miles south of town, on
Monday night November -, and stole
q two year old steer. Mr.. Erickson
discovered evidence in his pasture
where the animal was apparently rop
ed and then drug across the creek and
removed from the pasture. They

steer away, and the thief or thieves,
also left "A perfectly good oil heater in
the pasture. Mr.. Erickson says that
at least one of the thieves wore about
a number s boot, as evidenced 10y the

thieving going on 10 various parts OF
the county and something ought to
be done TO check this nuisance.

Up to the date Of this report Melleute
county had an outstanding warrant
indebitness of Sl26, 236 ID, that is draw
Ing interest at the rate Of I per cent,
and there Is a bonded indebtness Of
s35, 10000 that is drawing 6 per cent
interest. Wonder how many people
in this county realize that this indebt
ness represents an annual interest
charge Of $l0, 1856 80, oralmost as much
as we pay all of our county officials
each year In salaries. Is it any won
der that taxes are high? The poor
devil who does a days work Tor the

cash, he must hunt up a banker or
broker that will buy the warrant at

being as high as Is per cent. But take
an average discount of 10 per cent on

OF this county up to September 30 last
and the discount alone amounts to

est charge for n year Of $40, 1886 on
all outstanding indebtness of that
date, and you have the neat little
sum Of 1913, 227, that is a direct loss TO
the people of this county. It's time
something were done to stop this ter.

FEAR SUSPENSION
 OF N. '. SOCIALISTS
ax A.ssI.,.s rt...

New York, January. s.--Republican leaders from all parts of the state held informal conferences here today on the assembly's summary suspension of it's socialist members and the resultant probable effect on the electorate of the state. Meanwhile the five suspended assemblymen made plans for bitter fight for reinstatement
 J. Henry Walters, republican leader of the Senate; Speaker Thaddeus c. Sweet, Simon l.. Adler, republican lead CT of the assembly, and Attorney Gen. eral Charles D. Newton discussed the subject with men. prominent in the party, but comment was reserved. It was intimated tonight however, that they had found considerable opposi- tion to the assemblys programme in dealing with it's socialist members.
 During the day the executive com mittee of the socialist party of New York issued a statement demanding that the assembly immediately revoke it's action, which it denounced as a direct affront to the voters of the state
 disgraceful and un-American. The socialists fight for reinstate- ment will be championed by the ables' lawyers they can hire. it was an nounced. Propaganda will form large part of a campaign to turn the as sembly's action into a boomerang ant compel reinstatement through public opinion, it was said.
 In a statement issued late in the day
 Charles Solomon, one of the suspended assemblymen, declared undue empha
 sis had been placed on the manifest of the socialist party" adopted at tn national convention in Chicago assert ing that it was being used in the 'plo | to 1unseat us.'

 ! ASKS FOR DEATH PENALTY FOR NEW
By Asseeiassa Prsss

Los Angeles, January 9.-Death pen- atty for Harry New, charged with the murder here last July of Miss Freda Lesser, was demanded today by the state attorney in opening arguments of the case.
 Asa V. Reyes. deputy district attor- ney. devoted his argument mainly to testimony presented by the defense in it's contention that New was insane at the time of the slaying.
 Reviewing depositions of persons who told of peculiar acts committed by New Reyes commented that every queer thing this defendant has ever done might have been done by a sane man.
 Reyes asserted that the defense it. self admitted that New was a danger ous man and should be confined. The only difference in viewpoint. he said was that the defense believes New should be put in an asylum. while the state believes if he is confined al al, it should be behind prison walls.
 Reyes asked the jury to assess tho death penalty.
