Wichita Puts in Claim, He is wanted by the Wichita, Kan., police for highway robbery, and also is wanted in Canon City, Colo., where he is said to have escaped | from the state prison. He is also suspected of being guilty of murder in Omaha. When examined by Captain Quig- ley and detectives, he made a com- plete statement. He said he would not attempt to fight extradition. A-short time after the arrest Mr. and Mrs. W. H, Moore, 3256 North Pennsyl- vania street, called at detective head- quarters and identiffed Weaver as the man who held them up at Pennsylvania and Thirty-third stree*s Thursday night. Brandishing a nickel plated revolver and firing intermittently as he dashed, zigzagging through the street crowded ‘with pedestrians and vehicles, and with detectives shooting from positions they took when they were walting for the man, the scene presented a real dime novel situation. He probably would have escaped had he not run into a messenger boy on a bicycle, ~ Murder of Smith.. The murder of Willlam Harry of committing in Omaha, was one of the most sensational in criminal annals here. Bmith was killed on Saturday night, October 16, at Thirteenth and Dodge streets. The murdered man was escort- ing home Miss Grace Slater, North Thirty-fourth street, a 2-year-old clerk for the Woodmen, employed in the of- fice with Smith. Smith, docording to the girl's statement, was siain when he re- sisted being held up by a masked bandit. The robber then forced the girl to ac- company him for nearly an hour, traver- sing several blocks. He then released her after having threatened to assault her. He relented when she pleaded with him to spare her. Miss Slater was given her liberty after peing questioned by the police. She jdentifled Hauser as the murderer of Smith by bis photograph. Smith lived at 218 Fuller avenue, Coun- cil Biuffs. He 1s survived by a wife and three children. Dencriptions Seattered Everywhere. Hauser's pleture and physical measure- ments has been scattered broadcast about the face of the country. Every police, chiet and every sheriff, in !lct,‘ every peace officer in the country was aware of the hideous crimes charged up | to Arthur Hauser, and their attention was riveted all the more solidly by the fact that across the top of the glaring police circulars was the banner line: “Ten thousand dollars reward The $10,000 reward attracted professional and amateur detectives all over, and especially In this part of the country or near the cities where crimes accredited to Hauser had been perpetrated. Of course, though there is a price of $10,000 on Huuser's head, it will never be paid, that is, not entirely, Omaha May Yet Get Him First. Omaha, for instance, offers $i00 for his arrest and return to Omaha, and ocen- viction. The other cities, where he is wanted worded their reward offers the same way. An effort will be made to have Omaha's clalm on him recognized first, as this is the only place yet known where he is accused of a murder.

OIL OUTPUT MILLION AND HALF CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov, 7.—(Special.) ~Wyoming's taxable wealth has increased more than $16,000,000. The last year shows an Increase of $9,673,245. The present as- sessed valuation of property in the state is $210,677,963.19, which 1s approximately $1,600 per capita. The increase during the last two years has exceeded $149 per capita. These facts are shown by the annual report to the governor of State Tax Com- missioner John McGill, which was com- pleted toda. The report, to quote the exact figures, shows that the increase in the value of taxable propérty in two years has been $16,060,847.88. A year ago the pssessed valuation was $201,104,717.39; two years ago it was §194,617,116.31. Value of Live Stock, According to the report, there are 53,673 head of cattle in the state, their value being $18,170,082; 47,311 swine, valued at §221,692; 2,763,886 sheep, valued at 39,200~ and 256 mules and asses, valued at $191,800. There also are reported 175 bur- ros, valued at $1,760, and 831 goats, valued at $3,32. As a matter of fact, the num- ber and value of live stock in the state probably is nearly twice as great as the assessment figures indicate. Land Valuations. Land assessed In the state follows: 508,147 acres of cultivated irrigated lands, valued at $13,608,447.55; 584,680 acres of un- { cultivated irrigated lands, valued at $6- 1962,00.08; 758,892 acres of dry farming lands, valued at $5,023,300; 8,640,195 acres of grazing lands, wvalued at $24,629,672.07; 67,157 acres of coal lands, valued at $990,- 61; 85,38 acres of timber lands, valued at $324,055; 34,278 acres of mineral lands, valued at $462,112.47, and 5,589 acres of ofl lands, valued at $57,680. THe abstract of the assessment shows: Output of coal mines, $,008,976.7; output of iron mines, $410,998; output of oil wells, $1,466,478.04; output of copper mines, $1,368; other property not enumerated, $1,812,- 84.25, Nebraska May Have A Saloon Inspector (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 7.—(Speclal)—Who would like to be official saloon inspector for Nebraska? Just at the present time the pure food department of the state is allowing its Inspectors to’ inspect drink emporiums when, in their judgment, the places need looking after. While this is a democratic administration and most of the inspectors are democrats, but three saloons have been inspected during the last month. At least the reports of the inspectors shiow but three, so it is rea- sonable to suppose that the Inspectors are of the grape juice brand of democ- | raey. Whether Commissioner Harman 66 | will put on an official inspector peculiarly 6 6 8| constituted so he can tell whether the toot rail is of the proper helght and the plate glass mirror in the rear kept bright, while the foam in the beer glasses ex- ceeds the amount of the real beverage 233 | and shows the proper per cent of ingredi- ents s not known, but as soon as it is known that the department has taken up this important study of wet emporiums it is expected that there will be many applicants. 460.50; 163,697 horses, valued at 36,946,715, | JALL BOILDING 1§ DECLAKED UNFIT Nuckolls Bastile Unsafe, but Others <+ Inspeoted Are in Good ~~ Shape.

Ten counties fa‘led to send representa- itives to the assessors' meetings which have Leen held in different sections of the state by Secretary Bernecker of the State Board of Assessment during the eek past. These counties were Holt, Keya Paha, Knox, Garden, Dundy, Gar- | fleld, Loup, Iitaine, Hurlan and Gage. ITheu meetings have been lLeld in sec- tons of the state whero each county intereated could send its assessor or ! tome other representative who could |mke part in the meeting. The state was | divided into eignt districts, and a meet- |ing has been held in each one. Unt.! | formity of assessment was the object | and Secretary Bernecker believes that| the meetihgs will result in a great deal | of good. The main obfect was to get| {things lined up for the real estate as- sessment whicl will be mads next year. | In every county the assessor or the clerk will make a list of sales values as recorded in real estato transfers and send it to the state board which it is hoped will assist in getting at a better | valuation on real estate. Needn't Be Registered, State Treasurer George Hall Is of the opinion that it will not be necessary to register state warrants or use money | from other funds in order to pay war- rants against the state general fund. On | Saturday evening the books showed a balance of $121,000 in the fund, and, as @ll county treasurers except Douglas | ocounty are making monthly remittances, he belleves there will ho no trouble in keeping the general fund in such shape that there will be no need to register warrants. Board Backs Dow; The State Insurance boardithas backed ! down from its former intention to enforce the so-called electrical clause in fire in- | surance policies. In company with Sena- tor E. J. Burkett, attorney for the in- surance assoclation, Thomas Bates of Chicago appeared before (he board yes- tegday afternoon and made a showing which convinced the board that its for- mer ruling might possibly be a little off.
