Thurston County Is
Charged With State
Taxes on Iindian Land
Lincoln, June 10. (Special.)
The State Board of Assessment has
had its attention called to the non
payment of taxes on Indian lands in
Thurston county.
Under the law of the federal gov
ernment, Indian land of the Omaha
and Winnebago Indians, while be
ing held in trust for the Indians, is
subject to taxation for state and lo
cal purposes. Under the federal
law if the taxes are not paid within
One year! the secretary of the in
terior in case he finds no funds
available for that purpose, is author
ized to release the lands from taxa
tion. The result is that Thurston county
is charged up with state taxes, when
in fact such taxes are never paid as
the secretary of the interior never
finds money available for the pur
pose. The county assessor of Thurston
county believes that these lands
should not be included in his report
as assessable lands to the state
board. It is believed that the legis
lature will have to release these
lands, as that is the only authority
which can legally do so.
Plainview Priest,
Injured by Train,
Dies in Sioux City
Sioux City, la., June 10W(Spe
cial.) Rev. F. H. Jageman,' priest
of the Catholic church at Plainview,

Jageman was riding oVi a Burling
ton train from Plainview to Laurel.
A new depot had been built about
100 yards from the site of the old
one at Laurel. He did not know
of the new depot, and when the
train did not stop where the priest
was accustomed to see it stop, he
jumfted off backwards. The plat
form was wet and he slipped, his
left leg going under the wheels of
the rear coach.
The injured priest was taken to
Sioux City. His leg was found to
be so badly mangled that amputa
tion was necessary. Following the
operation he remained conscious
until about 10 minutes before his
death. Rev Father Jageman was 40
years old.
Lincoln Man Arrested as
Fugitive From Justice
John Morgan, giving his home as
Lincoln, Neb., was arrested yester
day by Detectives Murphy and
Pszanowski charged with being a
fugitive from justice. The detec
tives allege that Morgan confessed
to them that on May 28 he stole an
automobile from L. E. Laflin of
Lincoln and drove to Omaha, where
he picked up a woman friend, whose
name he refused to reveal, and drove
to Chicago.
After spending all his money the
police say, he told them the woman
left turn and he drove back to Lin
coln alone where he sold the ma
chine for $600. ,

SERBIAN FINED;
CHARGED WITH
RUNNING STILL
v.
Triple Process ""Moonshine
Outfit" .Confiscated- by
Revenue Officers; File
Federal Charge.
Federal agents yesterday took
over the alleged "moonshine" outfit
of Vovian Vrosivie, Serbian, 2811 R
street, whose place was raided Mon
day by the police morals squad.
Vrosivie was arraigned in 45outh
Side police court charged with ille
gal possession of intoxicating
liquor and fined $100 and costs.
Police produced as evidence two
glass jars, one, it was alleged, con
taming a gallon of alcohol testing
108 per cent, and the other a half
gallon of "low wine." Revenue
agents confiscated the alcohol and
rearrested Vrosivie on a" federal
warrant.
The outfit consisted of a 100-gal-lon
beer keg with a 10-foot brass
"dripping pipe" attached and a 15-
gallon kettle with a removable funnel-shaped
top. The police say the
kettle was filled with, prunes and
raisins, boiling full blast at the time
of the raid.
"It looks like a triple process,"
Revenue Officer Flinn said as he in
spected the alleged still. "The first
boiling results in a little more than
slightly charged water, the second in
a low wine, and the third in pure
alcohol."
