yesterday to a gentleman who had the audacity to remonstrate against being taxed out of house and home and j he accompanied the remark with a blow 1 from his fist which sent the objector a back against the wall The cause for tho assessors outburst was this J T Dick owns a outburt little home on South Temple between Seyenth and Eighth West Last year when he re ceived his tax notice it was of such dimensions dimen-sions as to almost paralyze him but he paid it without a protest This but however with real estate a drug in the market he received a city tax notice rnis I ing his contribution to the municipal treasury treas-ury to just twice the amount of a year ago This caused him to seek an interview with the honorable assessor whom Dick asked why he was taxed at such a high figure Its because we think your property is worth the money replied Clute a smile smle playing over his Adonislike features Well do you know what I think J Well No I think that you follows realize time is growing short your tme and you pro pose to make all you can while you may pro Then it was that Clutes virtuous indig nation rose and be brought the interview to an abrupt conclusion with the remark quoted above Clute will probably find himself under arrest on the charge of assault and battery |
