That under the new law passed
by the last legislature, it would
be perfectly legal for the road
districts to levy a scecial road
tax, is the advice sent to the
countv court by District Attor-
ney Gale S. Hill.
Last year all of the special
road tax levies were knocked out
through a decision of the su-
premc court relative to the old
law and under the new law
which prevails this year the dis-
trict attorney has given his opin-
ion that the special road taxes
could be levied. The county
() court is planning to levy a gen- W
eral road district tax of two and
one half mills.

Action in Court.
GEORGE H. SMITH IS
CHARGED WITH FRAUD
Claim Is Made That He Induced j
Moore to Trade Land at
Considerable Loss.
Praying for a decree declaring that
a contract for the convey am' a of land
fraudulent and void and asking for
the annullment, 41 f the deed, li. C.
Glass, as guardian tor H. C. Moore,
an incompetent, has filed suit in the ;
circuit court against George 1 1. i
Smith and wife, lor the restoration j
to said incompetent of the real prop-
erty and personal property included
in the trade and for the value of the 1
personal property, the sunt of SS35,
ami that the plaintiff recover the costs
and disbursements of the suit. The
plaintiffs are represented by Attor-!
ney A. A. Tussing, or Brownsville, ;
and Hewitt & Sox, of Albany.
According to the complaint the
plaintiff went through all 01 the for- ;
malitics in the county court for the 1
......nintmnnt - G rr it -. r ,1 , i n I 11 C
Moore and was duly qualified as such j
on August 29 last. It is claimed that ;
long prior to April 2 last the said 11.
C. Moore was the owner of 139 acres
near ITolley and personal propertv of ,
the value of $800. "
It is claimed that for a number of;
years prior to that date B. C. Moore
was in a weak mental condition and,
suffering from a loss of his reasoning'
powers and was easily persuaded by
designing persons. It is alleged that
while the incompetent was in this
condition, the defendants represented
to him that they owned a certain
tract of 10 acres near Lebanon and
that it was worth $8000. It is claimed
that under persuasion, B. C. Moore
was induced to trade, under stipula
tions in a contract that were fraudu
lent and caused loss of money to the
incompetent and that he did not com
prehend the transaction or was aware
of what it meant. It "s claimed that
the 10 acre tract at that time was not
worth to exceed $1500.

mean that the gridiron will be moved
farther south, where the turf is
smooth, fast and level.

Otto Leschs Latest Bask in
Rays Costs Hint 30 Days
in City Jail.
ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
DRUNKENNESS LAST NIGHT
Veteran of Many Surees and
the "Bird0 Who Set Jail Afire
in Toils Again.
For the third, fourth, fifth, sixth,
and seventh time, in his life the spot
light has been turned upon Otto
Lesch. It cost his 30 days this last
time, as Police Judge Van Tassel val-
s spotlight rays.
Several months ago Lesch was cut
ting a meandering course down First
licet during- the late hours of the
night.
Where you iroimr? oueried a
night policeman.
I lie everywhere his anywhere
replied Leasch.
J hen come with me commanded
the officer.
Leasch was as good as his word.
He accompanied the officer lo the
city bastile, where he was separated
trom Ins unul pal until the following
morning.
"Ten dollars and costs or five davs"
said Judge Van Tassel the next morn
ing. Leasch was bought out by a
friend.
The spotlight at this juncture took
a rest.
Sometime a little later, Lesch was
hailed on a similar occasion and still
a little later on a like occasion. Fach
time it was the same thing and Lesch
spent his time in jail.
After each time the spotlight took
a rest.
Several weeks ago, while Lesch was
serving time in the jail on a charge of
drunkenness, he cither accidntally or
intentionally set fire to the jail, later
to be snaked out of his cell almost
suffocated. He did his time and was
released. At this lime he promised
to lead the straight and narrow path
and left the police court with the
warning ringing in his cars; "If you
come back it will go hard with you."
The spotlight at this juncture look
another rest,
Last night the night police arrested
Lesch on another charge of drunk
enness. The arrest occurred on Fast
First street. After hearing evidence
in the case, Judge Van Tassel said;
"Thirty days."
Thereupon the spotlight went upon
another vacation.
