Sometimes it is necessary to mt +be

NeW Tax LalD Delays
Spreading of Taxes.

Complications in the administration
of new law affecting the assessment of
taxes against agricultural land for
school purposes is causing delay in
spreading taxes on the books of the
county auditor.
Walter H. Bergen, county auditor,
said an attorney generals opinion has
been requested.
The new law provides that the tax
rate on agricultural lands for school
maintenance shall not exceed one-half
the rate for school maintenance on non
agricultural land in the same district.
Just what is agricultural land is the
question and clarifying opinion as to
how to make the difference is what the
county auditors throughout the state
are seeking.

Highway Work Bids
Called for This Week.

Bids on highway jobs totalling ap-
proximately $4,000 have been called
for December Is by the Minnesota
Highway department. One paving and
one grading project will be included in
the letting, the paving in Jackson
county and the grading in Stearns
county.
Contracts for trunk highway con-
struction, amounting to $600,049 were
awarded last week by the highway de-
partment. No projects in the i'm
mediate vicinity or in this county were
on the list. The contracts let were for
stabilized gravel base, grading, gravel
surfacing, check dams and monolithic
culvertS.

Reflector Buttons
Worth the Price

The Moorhead News in commenting
on the reports of the high costs of re-
Hector buttons on the curves of the
state highways has the following to
say in regard to the subject:
ITO get down to actualities instead Of
gossip, the real point is whether or not
they are worth the money expended.
There is no doubt in the mind of the
average driver who has approached a
curve at night, with huge bus or
truck coming from the opposite di-
rection, that the row of little reflectors
has saved him from narrow shave or
serious accident. Even glaring lights
do not prevent a person from seeing
the center line and keeping to the
right of it where there are reflectors
on the job. The driver is given added
confidence and feeling of security
with the thought that everyone else
can also see the line and keep his
distance. Further than that, the re-
Electors, shining up ahead, warn that
a curve is coming.
Suppose the total cost of each re-
flector is twice SLAB, and that 5000
are installed around the heavily
travelled Twin City pavements- if only
one life is saved each year as result, is
not the money well spent? Fifteen
thousand dollars for the Twin City
area and proportionate amount, de-
pending on traffic, elsewhere in the
state should not be too high a price to
pay for the added safety. Most serious
accidents occur at night, it will be
remembered. Let it be hoped that the
highway department is eventually able
to place the reflectors on every main
highway curve in the state"

GUN VICTIM
Continued From Page One.0

John Rikhus, Joseph Palcher and John
Nicholas, who after hearing the testi-
mony of the officers, DR.. Parker and
the witnesses, Mrs. Mary Smolich,
WIDOW of the dead man; the 12-year-old
daughter, Mary Smolich, Tom Dutch
Joseph Matesha and John Jurkovich
brought in a verdict of death by SELF
inflicted bullet wound.
Testimony adduced at the hearing
showed that Smolich had visited the
bath room several times that morning
and that he was i'll and had been a
sufferer with an incurable disease for
some time. No misunderstanding had
arisen between Smolich, Mrs. Smolich
or any of the boarderS. Dutch had gone
to Aurora after the death but was Or
dered back by Deputy Sheriff Cusson
after the bullet wound was discovered
The police officers stated that Mr.. ano
Mrs. Smolich and all the boarders had
never given them any trouble ana that
their reputation was of the best
No motive for a murder could be dis
covered. When questioned by County
Attorney DAHL DR.. Parker stated that
it was possible for the shot to have
been fired in to the body in the bath
room and the victim getting back into
bed before the hemorrhage set in.
The doctor stated that the steel
iacketed. bullet had severed several ar
teries and passed through the lung be-
fore lodging in the back. The gun was
fired at close proximity to the body
powder burns having been found on the
skin around the hole and also around
the hole of the union suit the man was
wearing.
He also said that such an injury and
the small hole left by the bullet would
not necessarily bleed from the wound
and that blood would come from the
mouth and nose after time when the
inside was filled.
The jury was given the case at about
5 o'clock and returned a verdict after
only a few minutes of consideration
The opinion generally expressed by
those present at the hearing was that
Smolich had become respondent and
had gone to the bath room where he
fired the shot into his body. After
throwing the gun out of the window
where it was found by the officer, he
returned to bed where the fatality was
discovered by Mrs Smolich.
The funeral of Smolich was held from
the home at 800 o'clock Sunday after
noon and was largely attended. The S
N. P. j. Lodge, the Loyal Order Of
Moose and the Croatian Union, Of
which deceased was a member, at
tended the funeral in body.
Pail bearers were Martin Grahek, ST..
Joseph Chrep, John KoroSich, Joseph j
Peshel, Frank Sayovec and Peter Kor.
dich Interment was in the Ely
cemetery.

McGrath Lad Sprouts
Corn in His Ear,

Isle-Leroy Thomson, son of Fred
Thomson of the McGrath district, is
practicing new methods of farming,
with somewhat indifferent success so
far. While in a playful mood recently
he placed kernel of popcorn in his
ear. Though it would not shake out,
he overlooked mentioning it to his
parents until he experienced a little
annoyance which bordered on the pain
full. In vestigation showed that the
kernel had sprouted nicely and was pre-
pairing to spring forth in acres of well
developed corn. DR.. Wahlberg was
called and the seed transplanted to a
roomier location on the farm, where it
is understood to be doing nicely.
