Coos County Board of Equaliz
ation Advances Acreage
Property In City.
Judge John, F. Hall has returned
from Coqullle where he has been at
tending the sessions of the Coos
County Board of Equalization and
the Coos county commissioners. The
two bodies have concluded their
work for this year.
"The Board of Equalization In the
Marshfleld assessment cases made a
number of changes. The assessment
on Peter Scott's Glen Garden tract
was Increased from about $G00 on
the four acres to $250 per acre. The
assessment of the Southern Oregon
Company's eighty-acre tract was In
creased from about $G00 on the four
acres to $250 per acre. The assess
ment on the low ground Inside the
city limits owned by Johnson, Hil
strom and others was fixed at $300
per acre. A pumber of other chan
ges were made. At Bandon, Co
qullle and other points, tho assess
ment on acreage inside the city
limits were Increased some.
The most difficult matter was ad
justing the assessments on timber i
land. Only a few changes were made
In this. I
However, the county commission-1
ers are gradually having tho county
cruised and will soon have absolute
evidence as to the amount of timber
on the various tracts. It costs about
six cents per acre for cruising. The
past year, two townships have been
cruised and the total cost of cruising
the county will be about $30,000.
The commissioners will keep one or,
two cruisers busy all tho time and
will have pieces at different points
In the county cruised so that It will
furnish a basis for estimating ad

ILL, FOR
Assault and Murder of Miss
Annie Pelley Avenged
By Crowd.
ENRAGED POPULACE
EXCUSED BY MAYOR
Attributes Deed to Leniency of
Juries In Dealing With
Crimes.
(By Associated Press.)
CAIRO, 111., Nov. 12, Arthur
Alexander, a negro Implicated In tho
assault and murder of Miss Annlo
Pelley by the confession of Will
James who was lynched last night,
was safely lodged in the county jail
today. Alexander was hid in this
city by the police who put a police
man's uniform on him. Tho . mob
Das learned that he is In jail and
could easily have taken him out but
It was thought best to let the mat
ter rest for the present and tho mob
dispersed. Tho city is calm and
quiet this morning.
One company of militia was called
out. Mayor Parsons said today that
he did not think any official could bo
blamed for tho lynching last night
and that the majority of citizens de
plored the disgrace but thought tho
result would bo salutary. "There
has not been an ofllclal execution In
Cairo for ten or fifteen years," said
the mayor, "and yet the city has had
Its share of murders. Juries have
failed to convict in homicide case
or have convicted only for minor de
grees. In fact, murder In Cairo has
I regret to say, been tolerably safe.
The feeling against crime that has
so long been suppressed has found a
vent, and I believe Cairo will bo
peaceful and lawabidlng hereafter."
With the lynching of Harry Salz
ner, a white man, following that of
James last night, It is believed tho
fury of the mob spent Itself and no
further trouble will occur.
All the saloons are closed and tho
city is practically under martial law.
The authorities are preparing
troublo tonight.
