A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Kjr
A Latljr Aliixmt Fatally lnjurl
Frightened Home
From Wednesday's Dally
A little beforo noon today Jack
Benson rode one of VV. D. Jones horses
down Main street and in some way
was thrown off. The Buddie turned on
the horse, and, frightened into ft
frenzy, the animal started up Main
street toward the stable at a terrific
p.ce, the stirrups pounding away at
every jump as it vainly tried to kick
off the saddle, which slipped entirely
under the animal.
As Sixth street was reached Elder
J. M. Drake wife and daughter ac
companied by a blind woman named
S.die Bird were driving north in an
open spring wagon. As the wagon
ueared the middle of the street cros
sing the frenzied horse apparently
oblivious of anything but tho saddle,
plunged with great force right into
tho spring wagon striking Miss Bird
who was on the rear seat, cutting 'a
gash of beveral inches to the bone- on
her head breaking her collar bone,
and knocking the unfortunate lady
senseless for several minutes. She
was carried to Dr. Livingston's office
by A. B. Taylor and others who were
quickly on the ground and restoratives
applied. Her . wounds were
dressed and she was then
taken to tho cottage houe
where she is resting now as com
fortably as could bo expected. The
little girl who was on the seat with
Miss Bird was badly shaken up but
was not injured. The others in the
watron wore not hurt but the hind
wheel of the wagon was mashed to
tbe ground and ail were thrown out.
Elder Drake resides in Nebraska City
and was on his way to Bellevue where
ho expected to hold meetings in a
tabernacle to be assisted by Miss Baird
who resides in Omaha. It was a most
peculiar accident and those who saw
it s;y it seems miraculous that no one
was killed.
WKEPINO WATER NOTES.
From the Republican.
Allen Colman returned Saturday
from his trip to Wyoming. He says
he run into a snow storm out there and
and also failed to find a business loca
tion, lie, however, brings good news
for the republican party. The coal
miners out there, Mr. Colman says,
are almost unanimous for McKinley
and republicans say they will carry
the state.
J. M. Beardsley and son, Fred, left
last week for Arkansas with their
goods. Mrs. Beardsley and Eva will
remain a couple of weeks visiting rela
tives and friends before they go, and
Charley will wait until after corn
husking lime before he goes. The Re
publican regieis to see this estimable
family take their departure. They are
old residents, and have always been
identified with all that was for the up
Wuilding of the community. Tbey were
good noighbors and kind friends, and
we commend them to the people of
Arkansas, hoping they will like their
new home, but not well enough to re
main there permanently, as we hope
to have them back again with us after
a year or so.
IMPORTANT TAX CASE DECIDED.
Mays It Ik an Untruth.
Louis Ottnatt emphatically denies
the fairy story attributed to him in
the eveiiing Journal recently about
the condition of affairs in Butler
county. He did not ride over the
county with the priesl soliciting funds
to decorate the church for tho reason
that the fund were already raised as
is the custom of that church. Mr.
Ottnatt did find a majority for Bryan
in David City as everyone knows, but
no overwhelming majority as the Jour
nal would like to see. Mr. Ottnatt
says it is true that he is earnestly for
McKinley ami oom -r -
don't see how any working man
cau afford to vole otherwise. He
assures tho Journal further that
iu all the crowd of Bryan men ho
has met not one could give him a sen
:ui ..n f.r Bunnortinfr tho free
silver candidato as against sound
niouey. He found the business men in
D;.vid City very largely opposed to
Mr. Bryan, and, from what he has
seen and heard, he is still convinced
that Nebraska is safe for the champion
of bound money and protection.
.lodge Kamttry's Opinion In the Case of
the C , II. & ij. vs. CaaM County.
The tax case entitled the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad com
pany vs. Cass county and school dis
trict No. 2, tried before Judge Ram
sey, was decided yesterday in the suc
cinct opinion given below. The ques
tion was with reference t the local
taxation of the west hair of the Burr
lington bridge across the Missouri
River at this place and was tried very
closely by Messrs. J. W. Doweese and
Byron Clark for the company and
C. S. Polk and Beoson & Root for the
county and city. The opinion of tl o
court is as follows:
The court finds issues in favor of
defendants, I'lattsmouth precinct,
school district No. 2, in said precinct,
that the property described in said
petition is liable for taxation for the
year alleged in the petition for school
distiict and precinct purposes; that
there is no equity in plaintiff's petition
herein and that the assessment for
taxes and levy thereon for the year

Auffusta Chronicle: There seems to
be a very general misapprehension to
the effect that Tom Watson has red
