Many were exxcluded be cause of union affiliations or rela tion with some defendant. Evidenco taking began February 13. Chief interest in the trial centered about Hatfield. His relationship with the famous "Devil Anse of feudal history attracted attention. His mar riage to the Widow Testerman, two weeks after the shooting made him a figure of interest. His wife, fashion ably dressed, accompanied Sid ln the court dally. During the trial deputies guarded all doors, searching all persons who entered the court room. Revolvers were found on spectators and wit nesses many times during the early days, but as the spectators became accustomed to the proceedings, no difficulty was experienced. Appearance of federal troops, sum moned to prevent a second Matewan added additional color to the trial. These soldiers constantly patrolled the streets and maintained order. An attempt to withdraw the troops during the trial met with strenuous opposition from the authorities who feared trouble on a broader scale.

Calling by King ConsUtntlne of Greece of three classes to the colors was announced in Athens today and portends a Greek offensive against the Turkish nationalists, said M. Gounarls, tne Greek minister of war. here today.

A large amount of corporation tax is still outstanding and these figures will be greatly in creased when the large amount of accumulated mall matter has been given attention. Those paying taxes In two installments have until April 5 to pay the first half. Checks sent in hv mail before that date but which are not cashed until after the 5th are credited on the day of their receipt. Many taxpayers are now nnvlnz taxes by mall, with the result that a great deal of time and labor is saved. Paying by check gives a greater security from error, as the taxpayer has his cancelled check as a receipt In the event or an error in iM-Ariiiinsr navment in the tax depart ment. At the same time paying by mail irlves the clerical force a great er amount of time to each payment and lessens the opportunity for er ror. The total amount of taxes to be collected this year, according to the assessor's figures is $994. 355. ew. As fast as the money Is collected and properly credited, it is turned over to the county treasurer. . o Rich Rancher Killed In Home Stdnfield Is on Way to Oregon (United Preas Btaff Correnponctent.)
