Protest Aginst Increase.
CountyAssessor Bacon and County
Commissioners Steitz and White re
turned yesterday from Lincoln where
they attended tho meeting of tho stato
board of equalization. The board had
announced its intention of raising the
assessed value of Lincoln county land
twenty per cent, and the Lincoln county
representatives went down to protest
against the proposed, raise. County
Assessor Bacon addressed the board,
showng that the assessment as made
was just and equitable and that it
would be unfair to make the increase.
The state board had not announced
their finding at the time the Lincoln
countv officials left. fig&ffl ? TO

Having in view the erection of a

searching for a suitable lot, the agreed
plan of the couple being to announce

were not easily obtainable, and it was
not until la3t week that a deal was
made for the two Longloy lots on west

A WOMAN
SAVED HIM
t
By ELLEN 1NGERSOLL
Kred Grigs by was n clerk lu a
bank lu Montreal, Camilla. Being In
bad health he longed for a trip, but
having no means laid up he could not
afford to tako one. The president of
the bank hi which ho was oinployod
Ukod him and set his wits to work to
arrange an outing for hliu. Ono day
ho celled thu you::g man luto his pri
vate olllco and said to hliu:
"One of tho bank's customers owes
some money to a Spaniard mimed
Juarez, living In an out of the way place
on tho northern coast of South Amer
ica. There is no bank near tho credi
tor "jthroiiRh which tho debt can bo
discharged. Juarez Is a mean, tricky
old fellow, and llardwlck, tho debtor,
feels' that the only way In tho matter
is to send some one there with tho ex.
act amount In gold to pay tho debt and
tako a receipt. Thinking It a chanco
for you to get n cuaugo of scene. 1 have
suggested that you would go and at
tend to the matter without chargo If
your expenses were paid. Tho winter
you dread Is coming on here, while It
Is warm down there. You will get
a sen voyago out and back. Whnt do
you say?"
Grigsby Jumped nt tho offer. lie
was provided with n box containing
enfeics, half eagles and double eagles
to the amount of 50,000, which was
put.-ln his stateroom on the ship just
befbro she sailed. IIo was also fur
nlshpd with a statement of tho account
and'.nll necessary papers. Tho box con
tained the exact amount duo to bo
paid.
On the ship with Grigsby was a re
cent graduato of n woman's college on
hcrwny to llondurns, whero she hnd
nccqpted a position of teacher of math
ematics and physics. Seeing that
Grigsby was not well, sho was very
kind to him, entertaining and cheering
hlml Grigsby, who had n way of say
ing '-what lie meant Instead of smooth
Ingjthlngs, was much opposed to the
pcqsqnt movement In woman's status.
Ilojirogrctted that women should oc
cup positions formerly occupied by
men only. Ho was opposed to n col
leglato educntlon for them and pre
ferred to seo them taking caro of
honies.
"women, ho said, "haven't tuo same
kind of brain 08 men. Thoy'ro not flt
tcdlto tako hold of problems as men
are nnd work them out"
"If you should got into n scrape
would you rely most on n woman or a
man to help you out?" nsked Miss
Boyk
"Irj my getting out depended on fool
lng'spmo one I would prefer n woman.
If It depended on proving facts 1
would only rely on a man."
Miss Boyd admitted that sho would
rather follow uaturo's law marrlogo
but since sho couldn't wait for n man
sho would bo pleased to marry to
come along and offer himself to her
sho must bo doing something for her
self.
When they reached Honduras Grigs
by found Juarez, who camo from tho
Interior to meet him. Tho Spaniard
was more disagreeable than ho had
been represented. After tho payment
had boon made ho counted the money,
nnd, finding tho amount correct, ho sign
ed a receipt, not for $0,000 In gold, but
for so many pounds, aB Htated In tho
lnvolco that had been mado out 'In
Montreal. After giving Grigsby tho
receipt ho said that ho would have tho
gold weighed. To Grlgsby's astonish
ment It was short In weight Then the
old rascal had Grigsby arrested for
purloining somo ot tho gold.
The young man was not only dis
tressed, but puzzled. Tho gold had
been boxed and scaled over since It
had left the bank, and bo could not see
any possible Tvny for tho shortago to
havo occurred. Nevertheless ho hnd
seen It weighed himself, nnd tho weight
was enough short of tho figures on tho
lnvolco to mako a considerable differ
ence In funds.
There was nothing for Grigsby to do
but stand trial, and, thero being no
wny for him to prove that ho had not
taken from tho coins by acid applica
tion, filing or other means nn amount
of gold equal to tho deficiency, It -wnB
lmposslbio for him to escape a term In
prison.
lie did not meet Miss Boyd after
they landed till he saw her sitting
among tho spectators In tho court
room at his trial. lie was about to
be convicted when sho nroso nud asked
to bo put on tho stand Her evidence
vaB given direct, without her being
questioned by an attorney;
"I will explain," sho said, "why the
gold weighs less hero than when It loft
Motitrcul, though tho amount In dol
lars Is tho same. Weight varies with
the centrifugal forco caused by tho ro
tation of the earth. This force Is
greater at the equator than at any
point between tho equator nnd the
poles. That Is, any substnnco Is lighter
here than In Montreal."
Juarez's case fell to tho ground.
Grigsby was acquitted and left the
courtroom with tho woman who had
saved him.
"I bellovo I said to you," ho re
marked, "on our voyago hero that If In
troublo I would rely on n man more
tlinn n woman to savo mo In n matter
of fact My position has been abun
dantly disproved. Among a hundred
men, moro or less, who havo known of
my peril not ono had tho knowlcdgo to
explnln tho deficiency In tho weight of
tho gold. For this I am Indebted to
you. I retract nil I said. Hereafter 1
1 hall be n devoted supporter of wom
en's colleges."
