Several men, presumably belong

attempted a "watermelon steal." the
victim being the large and well filled
melon patch belonging to the Rice
brothers south of Dlllard. The man
in charge of the patch resented the
invasion and started to "show them
out" rather forcibly. Four of the
invaders then left, but the fifth
showed fight, and fur a time an in
teresting exhibition of pugilistic
work afforded entertainment for all
who passed. After several cars had
lined up along the road, a sufficient
force was gathered to advance and
separate the antagonisits, which
from all reports was no easy matter.

In session for the prescribed limit or
time and aside from the "massed at
tack" made by the timber owners,
there was practically no complaint
made regarding the assessments
levied.
The tlmhermen, however, appeared
in force and considerable time was
taken in hearing the objections
brought forward. In practically
every case the owners protested on
the grounds that timber Is practi
cally unsaleable and has but little
value on the market. This, It was
contended, should be taken Into con
sideration In making the assessment
and the honrd was urged to reduce
tbe valuation placed on the timber
holdings.
Over fifty companies were repre
