The Mass Meeting.
As per call of a committee com-
posed of W. J. Caudill, J. B.
Tosh. 8.D. Steward, T. Brigs,
J. 8. Terry, M. D. Davif. J. E.
Terral, H. A. Humble, J. M.
Preble, J. A. Krigbaum and J.
A. Steward, a large body of
repres entative business men and
farmers met in Hobart, Saturday
afternoon in Bolons Hall, to dis-
cuss taxation and to try and de-
vise some means whereby the
back due taxes of the banks of
this county could be collected.
Addresses were made by the
banks local representative Judge
Hays who discussed the question
at length. County Attorney
Tom Conner also discussed the
issue before the meeting in an
able manner.
The banks of the county were
assessed at one hundred cents on
the dollar wbichM,hey have ref-
used to pay. They have enjoin-
ed the county treasurer from is-
suing a tax warrant and the case
is now in the courts. They have
paid none of their taxes for 1903
and 1904.
The following resolutions was
passed:
Resolved; "That the county
commisioners and the county at-
torney be requested by this
meeting assembled, and that it is
the sen£e of this meeting that the
commissioners and county attor-
ney settle with the banks for all
they could get, not to be less
than 50 cents on the dollar."
The banks had tendered 50 cents
on the dollar, and it is probable
now that a settlement will imme-
diately follow.
Clint Worral offered the follow-
ing resolution whioh was unani-
mously adopted: "We recom-
• mend to the incoming oounty
treasurer, Tom Ellzey, that he
make arrangements with the
bank that will pay the highest
rate of interest on the county
deposit, and deposite the money
in that bank."
Tries to Kill With Knife.
Saturday evening, at 9 o'clock,
Charles Beach seriously stabbed
his pardner Joe Snyder at their
room over the Farmer's Ex-
change saloon. The two men
had just retired and after I eing
in bed a few minutes Beach arose
and dressed himself. Snyder
being half asleep thought Beach
was going out, but instead he
went over to where Snyder was
and began stabbing him with a
long bladed pocket knife, in-
flicting what may prove to be
fatal injuries. He was stabbed
in three places, once over the
heart about 4 inches deep, once
in the abdomen and a third in the
left thigh.
The injured man was immedi-
ately removed to Dr. Wartman's
office where the wounds were
dressed, and where the patient
still remains
Beach was placed under arrest
and was arraigned Monday be-
fore Judge Hoenscheidt on a
charge of assault with intent to
kill. He plead not guilty and
the trial was set for hearing on
Fedruary 3. Being unable to
give bond of $750 he was locked
up in the county jail.
There seems to have been no
trouble between the two men and
the using of knife in the hands
of Beach is attributed to him
being craized with liquor.
Byers is Held Without Bond.
A. N. Byer's preliminary hear-
ing for the murder of his wife at
Gotebo, several weeks ago, was
concluded Thursday evening be-
fore Judge J. R. Gray at Mt.
View, having been tried there on
a change of venue from Gotebo.
County Attorney Tom Connor
ably conducted the prosecution.
Attorneys Morris & Costello of
this city and Bruce Saunders of
El Reno, were in the employ of
the defendant.
Several witnesses were pro-
duced by the prosecution who
testified to the actions and words
of the defendant before and after
the shooting. Dr. Voyles testifi-
ed that the second shot was the
one which proved fatal, it cutting
the jugular vein. He also stated
that the first t-hot wound could
not possibly have been done by
the decaased with the pistol in
either hand. James Bills, Luth-
er Minton and Sam Stephens also
testified in behalf of the prosecu-
tion.
N6 witnesses were introduced
by the defense, nor did the de-
fendant himself testify.
After all evidence was heard
Judge Gray held the accused
without bond to await action of
grand jury. He was brought
back to Hobart Thursday even
ing and lodged in jail.
