Explains Tax Situation

Sank Centre, March 15, 1929
Mr.. Asa Wallace,
Sank Centre, MINI.
My Dear Mr.. Wallace:
In reference to an article in
the Herald of March 18th under
the caption $4,000 Delinquent
Taxes in Stearns County" l
would like to say a few words.
The ordinary taxpayer, in read
ing the article would form the
impression that the various
amounts quoted are the total
amounts of delinquent taxes.
! presume you got your figures
from the delinquent tax list just
recently published, and were tn
der the impression that they in
Guided all taxes delinquent on real
estate.
This is, of course, not so. The
list covers all taxes delinquent for
last year (1927 taxes) on those
descriptions not previously delin-
quent, and those taxes on which
the previous years taxes were sold
to an actual person. For instance,
if the taxes for 1926 on a tract OF
land are delinquent and the same
not sold to an actual purchaser
the taxes for 1927 would not be
included in the advertised list il
delinquent. The purpose of this
list is to obtain judgment. When
the 1926 taxes delinquent are solo
to an actual purchaser, a new
| judgment would have to be oh.
| tanned on the 1927 taxes if unpaid
| The procedure in this matter tt
the taxpayer who is not acquaint.
ed with the way these matters
work is rather hard to understand
| It is hard to estimate the tota
amount of delinquent taxes in the
county, but, if placed at ter
times what you say, it would come
nearer the total amount delin
quent in the city of ST. Cloud
This proportion does not hold true
| in the outlaying districts.
! 1t certainly would be fine if WI
could say that there are onl!
| $4,000 worth of delinquent take
| in the county.
| If the above has advanced you
knowledge any, 1 will feel that
| have rendered a service.
| With kindest regards, ! am

Chapter Il OUT OF TORRIDITY

There was silence for a moment. Lucy's hands fluttered onto my
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-05-10

head. What if this man Dillon who killed Jerry should also have killed Andrew Ogden?"
 "Why?" MacNair demanded. I smiled sadly. Just a vagrant thought. If Dillon knew of the note in this pistol he would have good reason for trying to get it. And if Ogden also had come into pos session of the dangerous informa- tion it contained-dangerous to Dillon, I mean-you see my drift?'
 MacNair shrugged. Pure specu- lation Peebles. See you later" picked up the telephone and called Henry Deacon. There was no word of Jerry and my heart sank. I put the instrument down and looked into Lucy's tragic eyes. She tried to speak but her lips were trembling. Turning, she fled | from the room.
 Horribly depressed, I sat at my
 ieSk and tried to evaluate proper y the little we knew. At length fished a little red-backed note book out of my desk. I have used many such notebooks in my time. Opening it at the front page I be- yan to write, carefully numbering
 each paragraph as I went on. When had written down what was in ny mind I felt I had accomplished
 something after all
 Deacon arrived just then and we | discussed the note and the incident ! hat led to it's discovery. His amaze nent was a great as my own, but, ike MacNair he made it clear that voice echoing out of the com 1 parativc antiquity of 1896 would not modify his theories to any ex- tent. My odd fancy that the man Dillon mentioned in the note might have killed Andrew didn't impress him.
 He left me then, taking the pis- tol and the note with him and I went to my room and dressed Com ing out, ran into Mrs. Moffit She locked ill and I didn't wonder. Mrs Moffit is never very well and l have suggested domestic help to her at least once a week, but she scouts the idea Her trouble is an internal something or other of | mysterious origin and perambulat- ing habits. But she steadfastly refuses to have it removed She has tried New Thought, Divine Healing, Episcopalianism, Spinal Manipula- ton, Disciples of the Fiery Ring, Physical Culture, Olive Oil, and the New Psychology-everything in fact but simple surgery. Recently she embraced Cosmic Indulgence.
 As I entered the Ogden library, Deacon and MacNair were sitting at the desk, talking. On the desk were deck of playing cards, a lead bullet, piece of gold-bearing quartz, small black bound note book, and three stacks of red poker ] chips.
 The chips, the cards, and the notebook were in that safe over there" Deacon said "The quartz
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-05-10

I heard it. Peterson is supposed to have played poker for a human life"
 MacNair pondered for a moment. T suppose we may safely assume this gun belonged to Alex Peter son; he was related to man called Jerry; a man named Dillon shot Jerry and left him dying; Jerry wounded Dillon, presumably with Q gold bullet; and Jerry dying, wrote this note"
 DO you connect this, and the attempt to steal the pistol with the murder of Andrew Ogden?" I in quired?
 T wouldn't go that far yet Of course, the motive for Andrew Og- den's death may be rooted in some thing that happened 30 years ago. So may the motive for stealing the pistol"
 Tn that case" said I, trium- phantly, Jerry Ogden couldn't have had hand in his fathers deathl"
 Nothing Of the sort!" MacNair snapped irritably. Hubbard heard Ogden shout gold bullets at this man Furie-these bullets are gold but it doesn't necessarily follow there is a connection. But even if there is, what of it? Jerry's motive for killing his father might have come out of something that hap 0ened before he was born. Some thing to do with that mine, for in stance"
