TAX RATE FOR COUNTY FOR YEAR 1921 IS FIXED BY THE COUNTY AUDITOR, The tax rate for 1921 in Bur- leigh county will total 41.63 mills compared to 40.78 milis last year. The levy has been completed by County Auditor Johnson, based upon budgets of the various sub- divisions, modified in accordance with the tax limitation law. The rates follow: City of Bis- marck, schools, 17.26; City of Bismarck, civil 13.42 mills; state and county, 10.75 mills, total 41.63 mills. Last year the levy was: City of Bismarck, schools, 16.45; City of ‘Bismarck, civil, 15,27; state and to be raised by taxation is con- county, 9.06 mills, total, 40.78 mills. The levy for this year is slightly higher than last. The total amount siderably less. The valuation is less, causing the higher rate. There is a decrease of approxi- mately $90,000 in the amount to be raised, it is figured. The budget for the city this year is $92,599; the schools, $119,040; the county and state combined, $203,600. ‘ There is a decrease in all levies except the state, which is increas- ed from 1,9 to 3,38 mills, Steam railroads in 1920 carried aj was evident from the start of the Out of every 1000 farmers in 1920,; only an indication that the Jimtown | ternoon. | The superiority of the Fargo team | contest.

Many injured. The robbers returned again about 4 o’clock and were frightened away. According to information received by The Tribune over long-distance telephone, six men entered the town from the west, after leaving their car a short distance out of the city. Part of the gang was discovered trying to enter the Burleigh County State Bank. Church Bell is Rung George Pipekorn, night watchman, discovered the robbers. The church bell was rung and citizens scampered out of bed to join Pipekorn, Constable Joe Kohler and others in the gun bat- tle. The robbers backed, slowly away in the face of the advancing posse, many shots being exchanged. A bul- let whistled a foot over the head of one citizen, and one bullet penetrated the roof of a house. The robbers left two revolvers in their haste, and it is said they also had shot guns ‘but did not use them. A cnowbar and sledge hammer also were left. It was about four o’clock when they returned, were discovered and beat a hagéy retreat. Sheriff ‘Welch was not notified until {about 9 o'clock this morning. Word was sent out to many towns thnough which’ the robbers probably would pass in making their getaway. Sheriff Welch urged the mainten- ance of a night watchman in all small towns in the country, as there are bands of robbers operating in the state, robbing banks and small coun- try stores.
