DEATH OF RICHARD SCOTT A Sad, Sad Case. The honorable board of Eaual- ization was confronted with one serious matter for consideration. A gentleman from the rural dis trict was assessed a year ago with a horse, a cow and a pig which assessment had been duly paid. Perhaps to save time and ex pense the present assessor conied from last year. The gentleman plead his own case by saying the horse took sick, he called the yet- rinary surgeon and the horse died. , He sold the cow to pay ! the ' vetrinary and he killed the pig to supply meat for the fam ily. The eyes of the entire board' filled, with juice, their hearts b.i ed over with sympathy and they ordered the assessment ex punged from the roll.
