Is now being tried after many months'

It was alleged In the complaint that
the county assessor had discriminated
In his assessments against certain city
properties and In favor of the farm
ers. It was charged that he did this
for political effect and that he. was
therefore guilty of fraud. The county
board of equalization was also charg
ed with fraud in permitting the dis
criminating "assessment to pass, while
a temporary Injunction was procured
which prevented Sheriff Taylor from
making the collections.
The case has been set for' trial on
