It whs currently reported lam week on the street that the I-nkeview public achool for the 1001 term would only bo a Mix-mouths region, owing to a lack of funda, and ujon this reMrtTlie Examin er said lat week : The Lakeview public achool w ill prob ably oiM-n about Sept. Kith. We learn that the directors can promise only a sia-montha term this season, and there will be some difficulty in getting teach ers to sign a contract for such a short term. County Superintendent J. Q. Willita aays he is at loss to know how such a re port could gain currency though it was probably announced by somebody not in authority as the Lakeview public school is in a flourishing condition financially, as are all th. schools of Lake county. The Examiner Is pleased to make the correction and to state that there will be a full eight months' term and probably nine months. The Superintendent says there are over f 5,000 now to apportion to the various schools of the county, and that there will be another apportionment in April next fully as lurge, which wilt place our schools in an unusually healthy condition. We also understand that there is no difficulty in getting the teach ers for the various departments of our school this year to sign a contract. The positions in the Lukeview school are much sought after. The Examiner cheerfully makes this -correction, and trusts that the labor of tbe teachers in the Lnkevlow school will t attended by much success and marked improvement. The County Court ban allowed H. B. Chandler damages in the sum of $00 and It. W. Hartman in the Hum -f f:!0, caused by opening of the new county roud .through their ranches. ' 1I1U BLACK BART MUTATORS. 1 he day. of highway robbery which made Black Bart famous BpKar to have been revived by lone highwaymen who try to imitate him in these parts with only moderate success. Th. Aahland Tidings cays thai the "gentleman bur lar" bus been oeraliug in the towns south of here during the pant week and now come, along the good Matured high way incu as a companion picture in crime, lo add to the list of tlume whoae profca sion is to depurate by force unnuiecting travelers from their money. Jeff. How ard, tln driver of the Aahland Klauialli Falls stage, which arrived in town tlii. morning, tells how .1. L. Yadin, the prop rietor of the line fell a victim to the high waymen, yesterday. Yadin had left Hart a Station, on the main road, in hit home and cart, fur points Ix-yond the logging camp, aome fix milea distant, via a by-road. Afler he had prut-ceded some balance he was met by a young, vigor ous looking k-llow of alxjut 20 years of tgu, riding horseback from the opiKwite direction. The young man saluted and stopped the .Lane-line owner, engaged in uood-na lured conversation about the weather, c -million of the roads, etc, and after a few minutes rather surprised Mr Yadin by asking if he bad any money, to which Yadin replied, ' Yes a little." As he did so the young man ran his bands down into bis trowacr'a pocket and took bold of a revolver he carried there at llitytame time telliugYadin todifide. Not fancying the appearance" of "the inrrln th. young man's hands, the stage-line owner complied with the command and handed over all the loose change In his pocket amounting to 1.85. Then the highwaymao was as courteous in parting with as iu meeting his victim and bid liim a hurried adieu oniresumin" his way. Yadin not lo be outdone in jocularity, atked tbe young man if he did not want his watch, too, but the young man finally decided that he would not demand that, Yadin had 116 in a book in tiia vest but the highwayman did not press for or de mand more than was handed him. Afler the incident both the travelers on the public highway proceeded on their re Sectiv. ways. Yadin went to th. log ging camp w here he secured some men to aid him in pursuing the highwayman. Aftei relieving Yadin of bis small change the young fellow encounteied an old man traveling along the road and held him up, but lie was unprofitable game and nothing at all was secured from him. The third victim was an old gentlemen, a fruit peddler named Booth, who contributed the princely sum of 40c, all lie h.d on his person, to the coffers oi the robber, and at his earnest solicitation. With a number of men from the log ging camp Mr. Yadin went in search of the highwayman and overtook him at Puckett's ranch where he had gone and ordered a meal prepared after his day'a work, lie was arreted and taken to Klamath Falls, this morning, where he will be given a hearing, lie is described as an underlined, smooth faced fellow, wore goggles and gave his name as Pearson.

SUHHARV LAKE'S TAX ROLL. Below will be found the summary of the assessment roll of Lake county for the year 11)01, as shown by the books of Assessor John Blair. Land to the amount of 38,230 acies, a great portion of which is in Warner valley, and in dispute, and the taxes thereon having heretofore been paid by the Warner Stock Company, was r worn off this year, and appears under the heading of "wrongfully assessed." Owing to this the assessment is not so great on land and a little higher on other property this year. The increased valuation would have been considered greater for 1901 than previous years were it not for the "swearing oft" process. Following is the summary I LATEST BULLETIN BvfrALO, N. Y., Sept. 11 The follow ing bulletin was issued by the Preti dent's physicians at 10:30 last night: The condition of the President is un changed in all important particulars. Pulse 114; temperature 100.0; respira tion 28. When the operation was per formed on Friday last it wa noticed the bullet had carried w ith it a abort die lance tienealb the skin fragment of the Preiudeiit'a roal. Thisforeign material was of course removed, but a slight Irri taiion of tlie tifsiies was '.produced, the rvidence of which lias only appeared to night. It lias been news nary on account of this alight disturbance to remove a few stitches and partially open the stain wound. This incident cannot give rife to other complications, but it is com municated to the public as the surgeons in attendance wish to make their bulle tins entirely frank. In consequence of this separation of tbe edges of the sur face wound healing of the same will be somewhat delayed. Tbe ''resident ia a WivelT enongh to birit rtWe-Tioflij iahment by the mouth in the form of pure beef juice. Iiixar, H. D. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept, 11, 0:10 a. m. The President rested comfortably during the night and a decided benefit has fol 'owed the dressing of the wound made last night. His stomach tolerates the beef juice well and it is taken with great satisfaction. Aia condition this morning is excellent. Pulse 116; temp erature 100, ; respiration 25. Kixky, M. D. The Hunter Return. The mighty hunters, Dr. F. E. Smith Lee Beall, Wm. HamersU-y and Harry Bailey, returned home Monday evening from Honey creek. They have mighty tales to tell of thrilling episodes on the trip. At one time they were without water for nearly twenty-four hours and all but Hamersley "lay down to die." Smith shot an antelope 700 yards and had lo crook his gun - barrel to reach round ttie m -tuntain to bring down the game. Beall fired at a cougar and the shot started up a big buck between him and camp and he ran so fast to get out of the way of the cougar that he came in contact with the buck and kicked him out of the way, remarking as he did so, "Get out of the way, and give a man a chance who can run." Tb. buck was speeding with the wind at the time. There are other interesting things f be told, but lack of space forbids. The party killed many antelope and two line buck deer. BUFFALO, N. Y., via Reno, Nevada, Sept. 6. Pres ident McKinley was shot twice at Buffalo, while attend ing a meeting in Music Temple, at 4 p. m. today. The shots were fired by a Polish Anarchist from Detroit, Mich igan, named Fred Nieman, who remarked after firing at the President and seeing him fall; "I did ray duty and I am glad oitU! One.bullet struck the President in the up per portion of the breastbone, glanced and did not pene trate. The second bullet penetrated the abdomen five in ches below the left nipple and one and a half inches to the left of the meeting line. The bullet penetrated the stom ach. There is no injury to the intestines nor the abdom nal organs. The latest report is to the effect that the bul let has been extracted and the patient is resting easy. The assailant was arrested and had to be protected by a body of police to save him from lynching. John Aviragnette, Mrs. John O'Neil, Mrs, E. P. Coonse and Misa Minnie Mut kep returned to Lakeview and thence to their several homes last Monday even ing. The party visited Crater Lake and other places of interest, and the ladies also visited Mrs. C. O.Neil at Ashland. They report an enjoyable trip and noth ing to mar their pleasure until the "stage robbers" fired into their camp at Drews Valley. Miss Lora Fern Butler and Miss liose 0. West, two accomplished young edu cators from Monmouth, arrived this week to accept positions in the Lakeview public school. We are informed that both ladies are also accomplished musi cians. The people of Lakeview wilt ex tend to Misses Butler and West a most hearty welcome, trusting their school work may be pleasant, and their life here enjoyable. The newa reached Lakeview by wire on Friday evening that President Mc Kinley bad been shot and killed, and it was a fearful shock to our citisens. Men and women could be seen in groups on every street corner talking over the sad calamity, and little children passed along the byways telling passera-by.that the President was dead. The local telegraph office was besieged by anxious crowds clamorina for further particulars. Just after supper word came that tbe first re port w as erroneous, and that the Presi dent, though shot twice, was still alive. No definite news could be bad unlit The Examiner wired tbe Reno Gazette for the particulars of the tragedy. By 9 o'clock tb. telegraph instrument began to tick off the Special to The Examiner, which was the only message received that night, and which ia reprinted in this issue from The Examiner Extra. There was an anxious crowd in waiting to listen to tbe message, and as soon as it was read at the telegraph office the peo ple began to separate, murmuring as they started for their homes, "Thank God) He ia not dead I" The Examiner Extra was printed and mailed before midnight to all the sub scribers in Lake county, and was carried to its destinations by the ui.rning stages. Early in the morning each patron of the local postofllce was handed an Examiner Extra, w hich contained the only authen tic news of the attempted assassination of the Nation's leader. The Lakeview Rustler, with great en terprise, also issued an extra telling about the tragedy in a garbled dispatch. Ttie Rustler's newa was boldly stolen and published from The Examiner's paid for special telegram, without any credit to this paper. As a putty pilferer of private dispatches the aforesaid Rustler takes the "mit." At the expense of The Ex aminer the readers of the Rustler were privileged to read a part of the paiticu lars of the attempted assassination cf President McKinley. Further particulars as to the methods U8ed by the would-be assassin are of in terest. The President was on his way to the Temple of Music, and when in front of tbe Ethnology Building a man ap proached and pretended to want to shake hands w ith the President. His hand was covered with a white handkerchief and beneath it was tbe deadly pistol. He immediately shot the President twice at close range. He admits that be is an anarchist. Mrs. McKinley accompanied the Presi dent to Buffalo, but waa resting in ber room when the tragedy occurred. When the news was gently divulged she bore up bravely and requested that her wounded husband be brought to ber if possible. ihe police have learned that the real' name of the assassin is Leon Czolgoei. He made a confession to the effect that he had become au anarchist through the influence of Emma Goldman, whose writings he had read, and whose lectures he had listened to. He says he was in duced by bis attention to Emma Gold man's lectures aud writings to decide that the present form of government in this country waa all wrong, au' he thought the best way to end it was by killing the President. He shows no signs of insanity. The San Francisco Bulletin charges the Hearst newspapers with the respon sibility for the shooting of President McKinley. The Bulletin says editorially that the Hearst papers are primarily gui'ty of the monstrous crime. They Concluded on Fourth Page. ) r
