Many of these, hunters say, have gone farther away and have been seen in Clark's and Powell's Valleys in the tracts which the water company is endeavoring 1o close. In these areas fishers de clare tlie State established big trout runs also, and they have joined in the light to keep the ground open. A survey has been made in Clark's Vailey by the water company and with the options held on the tracts there, should the public road be closed, it would give the firm com plete control of practically all un seated timber land to within a short distance of the State preserve. I.ast Friday the board of viewers met at Millersburg and started their investigation preparatory to report ing to the court the advisability of closing the road. At that session witnesses from all parts of the upper end of the county were present and it was clearly shown that a bitter fight would be waged to keep the timber land open. One of the reasons which was ad vanced against closing the road was that it leads to a cemetery. Persons who have relatives buried there complained that they would be un able to get to the burial grounds with the road closed. Cp in Arms Sportsmen declare they have proof sufficient to convince them that the idea is to shut off the valley from the public so that a few individauls can reap the benefit of the fish and game placed on the State preserve. 11.

Allen Budd, a farmer residing far back in Clark's Valley near Tower City, is said to have threatened to dose timber land he owns, and it is reported that if the valley road is closed a wall may be built across it and "no trespass" signs posted along the edge of the entire area. Each year the popularity of the! big retreat in Upper Dauphin is In creasing and more hunting clubs and lodges are being located there. It was pointed out that with the closing of all timber land except the State preserve, the hunters will go elsewhere, the clubs will leave the district, and the State may decide to close the preserve, as the officials will not locate one in a section un less there is an organization of at least 300 members in the vicinity who are outdoor sportsmen. , During the last two years about 9,500 hunters' licenses have been is sued each season in this county, and a large number of these journey to the Clark and Powell Valley re gion to hunt.

Paris, March 15.—Emile Cottip, the anarchist who recently made an at tempt upon the life of Premier George Clemenceau, was today sentenced to death by the court martial which was trying him. The verdict of the court martial was unanimous. Cottgn first conceived the idea ot shooting the premier in May, 1918, according to an official record read at the court martial. In May, 1918, the employes of aviation factories were on strike. Cottin practiced shooting after that, it was read. Fired Seven Shots When the court martial opened the clerk read the report describing the attempt on the premier. The report showed that Cottin fired twice with out moving and then fired flwe times while running behind the automo bile which he was so close that one witness believed he had jumped on the rear of tiie car,. It was shown that Cottin aimed at the seat in which Premier Clemenceau was sitting and fired so accurately that two bullets almost touched. "Rarely has a crime," says the re port, "been accomplished with more sustained premeditation, more ma lure design, and more emplacible te nacity with a certainty of method which it seemed would infallibly lead to a fatal result." Cottin is described in the report as primitive, vain and conceited and believing himself omniscient. He was üble'to earn thirty-seven francs a day easily, yet finding society badly organized, was desirous of destroy ing everything. The document gives expert medical opinion unreservedly holding Cottin responsible for his ac tions. Deaths and Funerals MRS. ANNA P. I,Ell MAN Mrs. Annie C. Lehman, aged 50 i'eaf*., wife of A. R.

WELLS' ATTACK SHOWN A TRICK [Continued front First Page.] minds of the other taxpayers in the county because it is only natural that other property owners upon glancing at such a statement can be easily misled when the actual facts of the case are not given. "Judge McCarrell's farm in Wayne township is untenanted and has been for years. The buildings are little more than ruins and the place has not ben rented for years. It lies far back in the valley and when the assessor in the district says he wouldn't take is as a gift one can readily see that it not worth even $9OO, the assessed valuation. Willing to Sell "My tract is assessed at $5OO, con sisting of 100 acres. X will sell it for that if X could get that much, but I am positive X can't. Why didn't Wells make a move to in crease the valuations and let the other officials decide'.' He says he hasn't the initiative to act because he is in the minorty'f Is his only duty that of sitting around and looking on then, or merely drawing his pay as a Commissioner'.' Let j him investigate, be fair and truth ful about facts and together with I the other Commissioners show the public what these properties are: worth. 1 want the Commissioners to | take -action in this case, hold a spe cial meeting and call any witnesses they choose. X do not want Wells to make statements about low as sessments of properties 1 or Judge McCarrell own and thus mislead the public into thinking that it is be cause of influence with assessors. Scores of persons acquainted ,with both tract are willing to tell what they are woith and J feel sure that, their estimates will be even lower than the assessments." Can't Give It Away Other county officials who have attended sessions of the board of re vision declare that frequently when important questions about assess ments are presented for considcra : tion and action Wells has left the ! room. At the meeting the other day | when mention was made of the vul l nations in the two tracts in ques ' tion, assessors told the County Com missioners that they were positive the valuations were not too high. One of them when asked if he would take Judge McCarrell's farm as a gift replied: "1 wouldn't want it." The fact that it has been un tenanted and the ground untilled lor years is well known, especially in that section of the county, and other property owners there said they have not been mislead by reports that the assessments ore too low. Some of them told the County Com missioners they wouldn't accept the farm if given to them. Many of Judge McCarrell's friends sharply criticised Wells' statements about the farm assessment, char acterizing them as decidedly unfair to the jurist, who is at present con lined to his home. A largo number ot' them only dridiculed the intima tion that the property is underas sessed as they know its location and. condition. Private Goudy Returns Home From U. S.
