to scare the men and not shoot them.
Stultz was not cross-examined.

Judge Urner said the jury had return
ed verdict and under it the Court

tence had been pronounced. The day
for the execution will be set by Cow

SOME ASSESSORS LAGGING ON
THE JOB,

The report of the local assessors
show that they have nearly complet-
ed the assessment. The required re-
port which will be given to the State
Tax Commission September 1st
shows that some assessors are max
ing more favorable progress than
others. The best average number OF
properties (farms. small farms and
lots) visited per day show %, the
second show 20 per day and low av-
erage s 7-15 per day. The low aver
ages are not satisfactory to the
County Commissioners and the SIP
ervisor. 1t is likely that the State
Tax Commission will require some
explanation of this report.
