For example, Tuesday a thief broke the seal of a merchandise car sidetracked at Hills- dale, near here, stole a pair of No. 9 shoes and left an old pair of No. 9s in the car. Railroad detectives who investigated the theft-found the tracks of very large shoes in the mud beside the car and | with the discarded shoes in the car jand the numbered box from which the stolen pair had been taken, set them to looking for a man with a large foot. Why not—all the “detaka- tiff stuff” poinied to the theory that @ big-footed man had committeed the robbery. Tho assumption of the sleuths, however, very nearly caused to miss bet, or rather to miss Artha Logan, 14 years of age, colored, when they overtook the youngster a few miles from the scene of the burglary. They were paying little attention to the boy as they passed, when the eagle eye of one of the sleuth was caught by the sheen of new shoes. Thereupon Artha was stopped, his footgear ex- amined and ascertained to be brand new and of, No. 9 dimensions. Artha was diminutive but thero was nothing dimunitive about his feet— the 9s fitted perfectly. Therefore the lad and a companion Edward Mulkin, 21 years of age, white, who wears a No. 6%%, were arrested and brought to the county jail here, charged with car burglary. Steamer Sends Out S.0.S.

In the Walsenburg dist ike situation is unchanged from when five mines, the Walsen- jon group, Kebler an Cameron ‘wns attacked on the grounds that the order was issued after the first Mon- day in September, at which time the law requires the assessments to be completed and the levies made by the board-of county commissioners. It was charged that the state board had no right to equalize after the date on which the law stipulated that the as: sessments should be complete. It was further advanced that the action of the state board was taken at a date so late that there was no- possibility of the hearings and opportunities for protests always required in such cases. Attorneys Mullen and Walls for the defense based their case mainly on the equity of the action of the state board and the alleged immaterial na- ture of the legal objection raised by the plaintiffs. Their argument was intended to exonerate the state board and to saddle the responsibility for the misunderstandings on the board of county. commissioners. and the county assessor. Attorney General ‘Walls stated that a main reasoh for the creation of the state board was the inability of previous tax officers to equitably equalize the assessments of individuals owning large tracts of The specific action of the state trict.
