BOOST UTILITIES
TO EQUALIZE ON
OLD ASSESSMENT

Some extensive changes were maze
by the state board of equalization in
attempting to get the assessments
Of the different public utilities. Of
the state on an equal basis, all
things in the legal boundaries OF
such acts being considered.
The largest increase in valuation
made by the board was that of the
Electric Light Plants in Morton
county. The board assessed these
at 200 per cent higher than they had
been returned by the assessor and
the Morton County board. Ward
county received an increase Of lOO
per cent above the figures set by the
board.
In some individual cases the as
sessments were changed, the assess
cd valuation of the Bismarck Water
company being raised 10 per cent,
while the Bismarck Gas company
was reduced 45 per cent. Both OF
these organizations are owned by
people not residents of Bismarck.
No changes we're made in the fig
ures approved by the county boards
in Cass, Grand Forks, Ramsey, Rich
land, Stark and Stutsman.

GILMORE TO
MAKE RECORDS
OF INDIANS

DR.. Melvin R. Gilmore, curator OF
the State Historical Society will OBJ
serve and make records of another
of the ancietn tribual customs of
North Dakota's Indians tom morrow.
At point near Elbowoods with the
nearest train point at Garrison, at a
point known as Armstrong School
House, DR.. Gilmore and his associ-
ates will meet a number of the
Arikara Sioux.
DR.. Gilmore is little bit at a
loss for a term which will fifty de-
scribe the ceremony. 1t is in fact
recognition of the entity of the
child. The Indians, according to DR..
Gilmore have called the ceremony a
christening or baptism since they
have learned of this ceremony from
the whites. In DR.. Gilmore's opln-
ion the nearest description of the
ceremony is in the language of the
Omaha's, whose word denotes 1.-THE
turning of the child.'
The ceremony, of which record
will be made in several ways and by
several people, denotes the introduce
ton of the child to the four quart
ers of the universe, or the planting
of his feet in the pathways that lead
out into the world, contained in In
dian legend and tradition in the
four quarters, north, east, south
and west.

BISHOP FALLOWS
DIES SUDDENLY

Chicago, Sept. -5.-Bishop San.ael
Fallows, head Of the reformed Epls-
copal church, died. at 4:30 o'clock
this morning. The Bishop fell ill of
pneumonia last winter and to that
was attributed the beginning of his
fatal illness. Last spring he went
to California where he was able to
recuperate and was believed to have
escaped further ravages of the dis
case.
He returned to Chicago August IA,
hopeful of regaining his old vigor
and reassuming his varied activities
which had made him one of the most
widely known National figures.
The long overland trip, however,
drained his strength and the follow
ing day he was reported ill of ex-
haustion. On the next day he was
reported improving and his physi-
clan then expressed the belief that
the Bishop would entirely recover.
The Bishop at noon yesterday SUI
fered a relapse which was seen to be
a critical stage. He then sank grad
ually until the end came; peaceful
this morning.

FIGHT STARTS
OYER WILL OF
ALEX M'KENZIE
(By the Associated Press)


St. Paul, Sept. 5.-A fight on> the
will of Alexander Mckenzie, former
political leader of North Dakota,
which has been brewing ever since
his death, June %, was launched to-
day when Ambrose Tighe, St. Paul
attorney, filed objections to the pro-
bate of the will in behalf Of Alexan-
der Mckenzie, Thomas o.. McKen-
zie and Miss Jeanette Mckenzie.
The three objectors are the chill
dren Of his second marriage, who
were cut off with a legacy of $4,000
each out of the 5000, 900 estate, while
the. residue Of the estate, approx
matelyS $780, 900, under the will goes
to two daughters of the first mar
riage, Mrs. Anna c. Mckenzie Nc
Donald and Mrs. Mary B. Mckenzie
Foster, both of whom live in Quebec.
The attorneys agreed that the case
go over until Thursday, when Pro-
bate Judge Howard Wheeler will set
a date for the hearing on the objec-
tions. ar.. s
The objections to the will are bas-
ed on allegations that the writing
presented as the will of the deced-
ent is not the will of the decedent,
and if it was at the time it was exc
cuted it was revoked by subsequent
changes in the condition and cir
cumstances of the testator.
It also is alleged that the will was
not duly executed as provided by
law; that the testator was not of
sound mind and memory at the time
the alleged will was executed, and
that the writing purporting to be his
will was procured by undue influ-
ence and fraud.

GEORGIA MAY
HANG WOMAN
FOR MURDER
Mrs. Cora 'Vinson May Be
Fourth White Female to
Face GallOws
SHOT HER HUSBAND
Highest Tribunal Expected to
Settle Her Fate This
Fall

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. b.-The case o.
Mrs. Cora Lou VA.son, sentenced tc
be hanged for the fatal shooting OF
her husband, w. D. Vinson, in his Of
fee, March 30, 1922, which was ap-
pcaled to higher tribunals, is expect
ed to be decided sometime this fall
Vinson, an Atlanta physician, received
one shot in his body as he sat at his
Office desk, and, after he had fallen
to the floor with his face toward
her, his wife shot him three more
times. He died Immediately.
"He told me I was worn out and
that he wanted young and pretty
woman" Mr.. Vinson testified at her
trial. She did not intend to kill him,
she said. II went to his Office to
talk over some matters with him, but
he made me so mad l just couldn't
keep from shooting him.
The fatal shots were fired from a
revolver which Mrs. Vinson said was
given her by Louis Vinson, son Of
DR.. Vinson by former marriage, for
her protection.
Mrs. Vinson, frail woman of 43
at the time of the shooting, had been
separated from DR.. Vinson, her sec
ond husband, for sometime. "Hc
spurned my love-" she said. charging
him with unfaithfulness.
Following the shooting, counsel for
the defense filed special plea Of in
sanity in Mrs Wilson's behalf, al
lnging that disordered mental icondi-
tion was responsible for the killing.
after hearing by jury in Ordinary,s
court, however, she was pronounced
sane and placed on trial for her life.
She was convicted on June 3 and SEN
fenced to be hanged on July %, the
jury returning the verdict without
recommendation for mercy after de-
liberating one hour and forty-fye
minutes.
Appeals to higher tribunals held up
final disposition of the case.
Mrs. Vinson heard the verdict read
and the sentence passed without any
show of emotion. II don't believe
they will hang me she. said the day
aftcrward, "for what any woman
would have done Under the circum-
stances" -sss O..
Mrs. Vinson, according to the rec
ords of the. state historian, is the
fourth white woman to be given the
death sentence in Georgia. Two of
the others were hanged and the third
pardoned after serving ten years.
Poly Barclay was hanged in 1906
in Wilkes on conviction of paying a
half brother 5000 to murder her hus-
band so she could marry another man.
Susan Eberhardt was hanged at
Preston in 1873 after conviction, to-
gether with Enoch F. Spann, of the
murder of Spann's wife in Webster
county.
After serving ten years of life
sentence for stabbing Narcissi Cow
art, a girlhood friend, to death for
dancing with her husband of a few
weeks, Kate Hamerick was pardoned
by Governor Stephens in 1883. Gov
ernor Colquit had commuted death
sentence to life Imprisonment upon
learning that the young woman was
to become mother.

"The people of the Northwest will
propably not realize the seriousness
of the situation until the churches,

was ever need for conservation of
coal it is now" a#

At the recent meeting of the Ro-

was cast. This scene is going to
startle the quiet law-abiding resi-
dents Of today. 1t abounds in gun
fights, gambling, and spectacular
incidents of all sorts but none of
them are fiction-each one is an hon
est-to-goodness real fact. The first
election can scarcely be called a
"dignified solemn proceeding" or
particularly judicial-but it's cer-
t'.inly entertaining, and when the
first missionary preachers hold the
first religious ceremony in the. big
gambling tent and the faro banker
cashes the chips dropped in the coll
lection, you gasp and wonder what's
coming next.
This episode is guaranteed to keep
everyone wide-awake throughout.
and when it closes with the coming
of the railroad you are going to
think it was about time for rail-
road to get here. The gentlemen of
the Rotary and others in the act are
practicing diligently and can De
counted upon to put the right kick IN
ito ease the minds Of the public
it may be said that the shooting will
be done with blanks and the froth is
only fake-but there's nothing to
hinder you from imagining your
selves back in the "Good old Days"
when you could never tell whether
you were the target for the 6-shooter
of the fellow behind you or the one
coming across the street.
The cast committee follows:
Mrs. Edmond A. Hughes, chairman,
Prof. Saxvik Rev Dewhurst, Mrs. F.
