Tax Notice

The Fire District committee has set September 22nd, as the collection date for the district tax of mills. In previous years, August 18th has been the accepted collection date, but the increase in territory this year made it impossible for the com mittee to get the abstract and rate book prepared in time for the Au- gust date.
 In speaking of the tax, Bart Bares, chairman of the district committee, issued the following statement:
 T have been informed that the public wishes to know more about the light tax. Some fear that this tax will be too high. To clarify this matter, I will try to explain to those who were not present at the annual meeting. The light tax Is collected the same as a Town tax, only very much reduced in terms of mills. which is 2 mills or $2. on each $l ,000. property as listed by the Town as- sessors. This applies to automobiles, lots and all other property.
 People must bear in mind that this tax was legally voted by the voters and taxpayers at the annual meeting, and must be collected starting September 22nd 1888. All taxes remaining unpaid after October 22nd, 1888 will bear interest at per cent per annum.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 8. (UP)-
Court-appointed defense attorneys
tomorrow will attempt to cast doubt
on the murder guilt of James C,
Lucas and Rufus Franklin, Alcatraz
prison convicts on trial for their
lives in the Staying of Royal Cline,
Alcatraz guard.
Attorneys Harold c. Faulkner and
Joseph L. Sweeney said they would
recall Harold B. Sites, Alcatraz
guard, to the witness stand for
cross examination of his testimony
which eliminated all other con-
victs as suspects in the Staying and
indicated that Franklin and Lucas
alone were responsible for the
crime.
Sites was hero of the unsuccess-
full prison break in which Franklin
was wounded, another convict,
Thomas Limerick was killed and
Lucas captrreo. The government
contends Franklin killed Cline with
hammer as they fled from the
prison furniture factory
The defense has sought to find
a flaw in the governments case
and place testimony on the record
which would indicate convicts other
than Franklin and Lucas might
have killed Cline.
