COUNTY WON'T
CANCEL TAXES
Request of Bank of North
Dakota Is Refused

The board of county commission
ers, in session here, today definite
ly refused the request of the Bank
of North Dakota to cancel taxes on
land on which the bank had fore
closed. An opinion of States Attor-
ney Allen was given as follows:
"Regarding the matter of rebating
and cancelling taxes remaining un-
paid on lands foreclosed on loans
made by the Bank of North Dakota,
l advise that such abatements and
cancellations be refused by you.
While the law reads that IN 5uch
cases the tax shall be Cancelled and
abated by the Board Of County Com
missioners," am of the opinion that
the law is unconstitutional and
against public policy. Burleigh
county cannot function as a county
if there were sufficient foreclos-
ures to have all its back taxes cam
celled and abated, and in many in
stances the taxes have been sold
and the county has anticipated its
revenue, as it had right to do, and
until the court Of last resort holds
that you must make said cancella-
tions and abatements, believe it
is your duty to refuse the request
made"

DEATH OF FEE
IN MOUNTAINS
HELD NATURAL
Experts Testify as to How
Their Conclusions We're
Reached of Mans Death
GIRL HELD INNOCENT
Rigor Mortis Had Not Set in
When the Body First
Reached the Ground

San Bernardino, Calf, Dec. 3.-(By
the A. P)-William r. Fee, San Ga
briel bank president, whose body was
found several days ago in the San
Bernardino mountains so feet from a
cabin occupied by Miss Mary Wat
kins, 26, who said she was close
friend of the banker, died natural
death, according to a unanimous
agreement reached last night by au-
thorities. The report was based on
scientific conclusions rather than
evidence submitted to coroner's
jury, which found that Mr.. Fee died
from blow inflicted by persons un-
known. What was at first thought
to be human blood smcarcd on pair
of pruning shears, found in Mr..
Fees hand at the time of his death,
proved to be rust, J. Clark Sellers,
internationally known criminologist,
working on the case, said. Mr.. Sell
ers' conclusions were supported by
those of DR.. A. r. Wagner, Los An
gelcs autopsy surgeon, who said rig
or mortis had not set in when Mr..
Fees body first reached the ground.
If the banker had been slain away
from the spot where his body had
been found, the post-mortem stiffness
would have set in before the body
could be moved.
Mr.. Fee was staying with Mrs. Fee
at a cabin half mile from Miss
Watkins cabin when he disappeared
three days before his body was found,
He left to repair a radio. Sheriff W.
A. Shay, supporting the conclusions
of DR.. Wagner and Mr.. Sellers, said
the presence of Joseph Walker, who
escorted Miss Watkins to her noun
tain place on the same day Mr.. and
Mrs. Fee went to the mountains
might have agitatcd the banker.
