He stated he had observed two persons walking along the road in the direction of the grocery, one of whom roughly matched the description he had of the driver of the hit and run car so he and Hauge, who was with him, stopped to talk to the man, who he identified as Westlund. He stated he asked Westlund for identification and was told he had none with him. He stated Westlund appeared to be intoxicated and at one time said he was Clary. He said Westlund returned to his (Westlund's) residence and brought back a driver's license which he showed to officers. He stated he asked if Clary was at the party and was told by those there they did not know Clary and had never heard of him. Van Dusen commented he had seen one youth on the Wesflund property drinking beer whom he knew was 15 years old. He commented officers had been unable to locate the youth since that time. The trooper stated after talking to Westlund he went back to where the Clary vehicle was parked and called for a wrecker. He stated while he was waiting for the wrecker to arrive varying numbers of people came from the Westlund residence to harass officers. He stated Clary did come out and was arrested for being drunk in public and being a minor in possession of intoxicants. He stated two other persons were arrested for interfering with the officers while the car was being impounded. He stated after the car was towed away, Schoening and Hauge stated they were going to talk to Westlund about getting the people out of the road and getting teenagers away from the party. Van Dusen said he saw Hauge and Schoening talking to Westlund at the edge of the road and saw them start to take Westlund toward a patrol car when Westlund suddenly turned and swung at Hauge. He said officers managed to get one handcuff on Westlund and the struggle continued. He stated he saw Adams jump on Schoening from behind and observed Vonhof come running out of the yard and grab Haynes and throw him down and began hitting the deputy with his fists. Van Dusen said at that point he took off running to assist Haynes and went into Vonhof with a football block. In the process, Van Dusen said, Vonhof was spun around and was somewhat behind him and was hitting him (Van Dusen). Van Dusen said he was hit at least other vehicle twice in the back of the head and got a description of once or twice in the face.

Van Dusen testified he observed Westlund hitting his face against the window of a patrol vehicle and smearing blood on the window. Van Dusen stated the crowd at the scene continued to grow as the time went on from when he first arrived when he found the Clary vehicle until the time the altercation started. Following the trooper on the witness stand was Jean Anderson, who testified he owned property nearby and was there the day of the incident. He said he observed the officers arrive and watched while they were around the vehicle which was taken away by the wrecker. He said all the while the officers were trying to investigate the hit and run accident they were subjected to constant harassment from persons coming from the party at the Westlund residence and that more people and cars were arriving all the time.

He also stated he saw Westlund in the patrol car kicking the seat of the vehicle and hitting his face on the window and observed blood on the window.

Burnett this week reminded all owners of taxable personal property they are required to file a listing of their property with him on or before March 31. The law requiring taxpayers to make an annual listing of personal property was passed by the 1967 legislature. "Prior to the 1967 amendments to the personal property tax laws," said Burnett, the assessor was required to call on each owner of taxable personal property to obtain a statement of the type and value of such property owned by him. The new law places the responsibility on the taxpayer for reporting annually property owned including livestock. F or ms for listing personal property were mailed by the assessor in January to all taxpayers who were assessed for personal property last year. "Taxpayers who haven't received forms are not excused from filing requirement," Burnett cautioned. "Every reasonable effort has been made to reach everyone owning taxable personal property, but few may have been accidentally overlooked. Taxpayers who have not received a form and who are not sure whether they own personal property subject to assessment should call the assessor's office at 426-4852, or come to the office before March 31 to complete the form." It is noted that household goods and personal effects are exempt from the personal property tax law. "Personal property normally located in or about a residence used or held to enhance the value or enjoyment of the residence has further been declared exempt by a department of revenue rule," the assessor stated. If a taxpayer fails to title a return of personal property by the March 31 deadline, the BU A small deposit will hold your gift watch'til graduation. • • • for satisfaction always buy a watch from a watchmaker. .-- .= < ' ----: - 5th & Franklin r....- 426-3283 * Free Parking * Free Gift Wrap stream of persons like a trail of ants from the Westlund property to where the officers were attempting to impound the car.

The penalty can reach 25 percent or $25 for each $I00 of tax due.
