Interstate Bridge Company Asks for an

city council for an extension of the Intor-
stSto UrldKO and Terminal Hallway com
pany's charter.
The company has erected Its orldge nnd
had It almost completed , but the street rail
way , n charter for which was granted more
than two years ago , is so far n thing of the
future. One block of track was laid on
North Klghih street for the purpose of hold-
iu the charter until the expiration of the
tuo years provided for in the ordinance , and
there the work stopped.
Mr. Webster , in a consultation which was
had with the city council behind closed
doors , stated that his company inid been do-
t.iyed by various things , so that it had not
progressed with tlio work ns rapidly as had
been anticipated , and asked the council to
extend the charter for another three years.
About a year aio Mr. and Mrs. Ij. U Hen-
drlx were slulqli rldiup ono fsundny after

projecting end of ono of the company's rails

drlx scruivd a Judgment for $1-00.
Mr. Webster's attention was called by one
of the uiderincn to the f.ict that the only
bcnctlt that strip of track had bcon to the
city was the 61'OU Judgment , and intimated
tfiilto .strongly that before the company
could hope to get an extension it would ba
necessar.\ for it to come in with $ l.00 to pay
for the judgment which had resulted from
the company's negligence. What impres

FOLLOWING THE ELK.
A Dnj'n Hutitllte or tlio Antlcrcil Moimrcli
In Cnlnmilo Mountnlns.
"Hl8t"sald ! the guide , suddenly bit
ting bolt upright In his blanket. Ho ,
the tenderfoot , and the .second guide all
listened intently , and there foil ioftly
from seine far height , through the still
mountain air , an oft-roncatcd whistling
call. It meant nothing to the tender
foot , but both guides exclaimed , "Klk ! "
"Thoro , up yonder1' ! said one of the
guides , pointing to a high peak of the
Flat Top range , now faintly touched
with the tints of coming duwn. The
camp where the three men lay under
"
the stars , their horses picketed "near at
hand , was bcsldo the hwift Williams
Fork , in a green valley of Houtt county ,
Colorado , nearly 5,000 foot above the sea
lovol. The height , whence fell that
mysterious call , rose snowy and plno-clad
2,000 or U.OOO foot higher.
It Btlll lacked moro tlmn an hour of
sun-'lso , writes n correspondent of the
Now York Sun , and ono of the guides
had to be dispatched dowi the valley lo
Its solo farm house in search of supplies.
It was , therefore , late In the morning
before the tenderfoot and his * two guides
were climbing on broncT back toward
the far line of the green timber. The
plan was to go thus far with the horses ,
aud , leaving them on the upper edge of
the aspens , to begin tlio hunt on foot
\\lthtlioaidof the trained dog , which
was the fourth member of the party.
The green timber , standing In deep
snow and cumbered by many fallen trees ,
Is practically unlit for horsemen. Ono
after another bare rock-crowned peaks
and far tree-clad or grassy valleys wore
unveiled to the traveler * . The tender
foot , unused to the atmosphere of thut
high altitude , found his throat parched
and his lips cracking with thirst long
before the asnons had boun imssed. The
green timber once reached , the hunters
cast the rolns over their hort-es' heads
and left the animals standing thus with
the cct'tiiinity that they cou'.d be found
when neededi ,
Then begun that weary ascent of the
snow-clad heights. It had been agreed
that not even the great sprawling plan
tigrade truck of the grizzly bear should
draw the hunters aside from their pur
pose. Klk was the object of that ex
pedition , and elk alone should claim
their attention. Sometimes an eagle
wheeled overhead , sometimes n great
jack rabbit sped by in terror of that
winged aerial foe , 'sometimes a small
herd of dcor was seen hastening west
ward , bound for the warm fertile val
leys of Utah , the winter quarters of the
Rocky mountain deor. None of these
things , however , could' draw from the
hunters so much as a single nhot. A
blue grouse finally rose and took shelter
in a small treo. The blno grouse is
edible , and the hunters wore short of
'food ; so , fearful of alarming the elk
should they shoot , they maiiugcd , with
laughter and many efforts' , to bring down
the bird with a stono.
They would have joined in no such
noisy sport , nor would they have stopped
to prepare their game for' the pit hud
they known that the elk herd was only
f > 00 yards away. Elk in that part of the
Rockies go.in droves that may number
forty or fifty. It is not uncommon for a
single great bull to lead a polygamous
family of fifteen or twenty cows , with
half a dozen younger bulls hanging
about the edge of the cowry. The head
of this struugp household usually keeps
his wives 'in single lilo ahead of him ,
and in this fashion they traverse iho
mountains. When a sudden thirst
seizes the great bull , ho starts with a
mad rush for the-valley whore the near
est stream fiows. He strikes with his
great horns the Hunk of the llrst cow
that stands in his way , and thus the
whole herd is started in headlong gal
lop down whatever rough stoop loads to
the valley below. This downward lllght
of the elk herd , thirty or forty great
creatures , swift as galloping horses ,
surefooted as the Andean llama , is one
of the most astonishing s'ghts of the
Rockies.
While the second guide talked softly
with tlio tenderfoot of the elk's habits
the first ffuido. a sturdv vounir black
smith from a distant valley , trudged
some yards ahead. As tilings stood
thus ho suddenly called in a loud wh'
per nnd beckoned the laggards onward
with a gesture of excitement. As tlio
tenderfoot hastened over the thirty or
forty yards of snow between himself and
the blacksmith the latter pointed on
ward through the pines and the tender
foot saw through a short vista , for the
first time in his life , a wild elk free upon
his native ground. The greut creature
loomed largo as a big cow , its branch
ing , massive horns extending far along
its sides. The tenderfoot was utterly
out of breath , half wild with excitement
and , as ho presently learned , the victim
of buck fever.
' Take your bhot , " said the guide in a
whisper denoting suppressed oxeito-
mont , ns ho hold the straining hound.
The tenderfoot raised the Winchester
to his shoulder , but the weapon wobbled
as if in the hands of n palsied man. The
guides looked with a sort of professional
horror. Still the gnu wobbtad and Its
owner did not shoot. "For God's sake ,
keep that gun nuiot ! ' whispered the
guido hoarsely. By this time all could
hoe a do/.en moro elk moving about
through the forest , but thi > great bull still
stood in silent contemplation of the
hunters. The tenderfoot , despairing of
himself , knelt down and clasped his
Blinking weapon hard against his shoul
der. Then , determined not to be hurried
into a bed shot , ho watched the trem
bling muzzle until it passed across the
breast or the bull. Then ho lired. The
great creature leaped from his place ,
and tho-g'uido fired at his retreating fig
ure. Suddenly the woods seemed full of
the swift moving oik. The hunters shot
und shot again. The dog was now In
full cry , and the huiitors .followed the
game us rapidly as possible. The whole
herd was plunging headlong through
the green timber. Ono bull was hasten
ing off with the dog at his heols. The
dog would sol/.e the fetlock , drop It , and
crouch as the great creature kicked.
Finallythodogstlll clinging to the bull's
hind leg , was dragged over a fallen log .
A the bull took his leap ono of the
hunters fired , and thy alk fell dead.
The air was now ( Hied with the bound
of the retreating elk as they plunged
through the underbrush. The herd was
rapidly getting out of range , and the
hunters paused to note what execution
they had done. Three elk bulls lay
dead , Thut which the tenderfoot hud
first fired at hud moved only a few feet
from his orlirliml stand. Tim hullnt
aimed with so much difllculty had
reached his heart. The guldo had in-
Hinted only a alight wound.
Two of tlio great untlerod heads wore
taken off by the guides. It was impossi
ble to carry away the ilosh or oven the
skins , and the party , heavily laden with
the antlora and choice portions of the
moat , started downward through the
green timber toward the horbos. The
journey wns made with laborious slow-
nees in deference to the tenderfoot's
worn out condition. The horse were
sighted after three hours , and found pa
tiently waiting almost exactly where
they hud been loft. The dooilo pack
liorte , which had followed the trull all
the morning llko a kitten , was ladoii
with the antlered heads und the meat ,
and the homeward journey was con
tinued into the comparative civilization
of the valley.

Your body and bones have a consider
able money value in the markets of the
world. Courts and juries have come tea
a tolerably ll.xed conclusion as to the
value of an arm. a leg or oven a too or
linger. The body of a dead man , what
ever its value to medical men , is really
valueless and without an owner : and at
common law no damages could bo
claimed from the party bringing about
death. Under our modern statutes this
Is changed , and courts and juries are
frequently called npnn toay : what a
dead wife or husband or father or motlior
is worth in cold cash. And it is not un
usual to IIml ti man claiming $50,000 for
a dead wife that ho would willingly
have given away for nothing whilo.sho
was alive. '
Ordinarily it is a very exceptional per
son who Is considered worth more than
9."iOUO , or $10,000 , in good coin ol the
realm. An arm is valued at from $200
to $1,000. Lugs ? ell for even less. Fin
gers and toes seldom bring more than
WO apiece , while an eye or vcrtcbriu
comes from ten to liftoen'tlmes as high
It is really horrible to cont-juiplato how
little appreciation a court has for the
value of OIIO'B body and bjnes. An arm
that you wouldn't pan with for $10,000 a
year is knocked otf at a few hundred ,
while legs and tocs ai'O almost given
away.
It is Interesting , says the Philadelphia
Times , to take up at random some of tlio
cases in which u jury has' passed upon
the value of different party of the cor
pus. Thus in Pennsylvania Railroad
Company v * lly a Pennsylvania jury
attempted to put a value upon a man's
brains and concluded that the part in
jured was worth $10,000 if it was worth
a cent. Hey was .sittiiiL' In a Pullman
car and the upper berth foil , striking
him on the head and Injuring his brain.
The .court granted him a now trial on
technical ground's , though admitting'tho
company's liability.
The brain is not all that gives value to
the head , however. In a Maine case
one Hanson , like an arrant fool , got into
a controversy with u railroad conductor
and had his skull cracked by a poker in
consequence. He sued the company and
got $1,000 damages. The company , as
usual , thought the amount excessive ,
but the court didn't ' In Illinois , how
ever , fractured skullijsell for less money
ami ino court in one case nom 5Uiuu , too
much to pay for striking a woman's
head with a hatchet , especially as she
was a saucy wench aud hud been very
provoking in her conduct.
In Kngland a jury granted a lad $750
as a slight componbatiim for an injury
which eventually proved fatal to his
eyes , skull and brain. , The court re
fused to consider thedamagcs , excessive.
In another case a lad named Cox , while
playing in the Highway , was kicked in
the face by a horse. The jury , finding
him severely injtired , awarded him $100
for damages to liis visage , but the court
refused to lot him koopit. If that horse
had been a modern corporation aud the
bay's peers a western ' jury that kick
would have been'worth $5,000.
Not only the head , but what is on it ,
has a value , as a party who paid $ -,500
for the trilling pleasure of knocking
another man's hat off could testify. (5 (
Taunt. 443) ) . And not so very long ago
Mr. Ho Ah Kow snort the sheriff of Sun
Francisco for $10,000 damages for cutting
off his queue. Ills pig-tail had been cut
off while ho was in durance vile for not
keeping a boarding house on the "Mell-
can" lan and contrary to the citr ordi
nances. He alleged that the loss of his
queue was a mark of disgrace , ostracis
ing him from the company of his fellow
celestials here on earth and possibly
prejudicing his chances in the life to
come. The sheriff pleaded the laws of
San Francisco in defenseHe demurred
and tli3 judges were with him on the
law , considering such a rule contrary to
the fourteenth amendment of the federal
constitution.
The value of ehcok , except to a book
agent , is probably doubtful , but spitting
on the cheek has boon given its price.
In Illinois a bloated bjndholdor named
Mitchell spat on the check of u Mr.
Alcorn in public. If ho hud used his
friend's face as a cuspidor in a more pri
vate place ho might have found it
cheaper , for as it was a jury stuck him
for $1,000 , and. though ho protested tlio
court made him pay it.
Kvon kissing cornea high somoMnies.
In Wisconsin a Chicago & Northwestern
railway conductor , instead of taking a
ticket from a lady spinster mimed
Cracker , took a kiss. She didn't like it.
and the company had to nav her $1,000.
The court refund to consider the kiss
too high priced.
The humbler inomborb of the body arc
quite as valuable in the eyes of the law
as the head. Many years ago Mrs. Eliza
beth Dudley , while riding on top of1 an
English coach , was hurt going through
a doorway that was too low. .Thedriver
had asked her to step down , but she pre
ferred to rldo. A jury gave her $500 for
an injury to her shoulders and hack.
In an Knglish case Mrs. Fey was given
$2,500 for an injury to the vortobrto of
her tipinc. She had been traveling by
rail , and in getting . . off the . car hud to
J * * m
stop down about tnreo loet , for want of
a platform. She came down heavily ,
jarring her vortobrtc and injuring her
ppino. Tlio court refused to interfere
with the verdict , iln Wisconsin $2,750 ,
moro was given for a similar injury aud
a dislocated hip joint in addition , while
in Illinois a young woman was paid
$ o,000 moro than Mr * . Fey for the same
injury caiibod by falling through a de
fect In the Hidowalk. And the next
year the tame court allowed a school
teacher $8,858 , for a permanent Injury to
his spine.
Fingers and toe's have tholr value.
For having his lingers smashed in u
railway carriage Fordham , an Knglish-
man , was given 23 by an English jury.
So another was given 8150 for having
his lingers bitten off by a d og .Years
ago one Jaekson was riding in the Lon
don underground railway from Margate
Btroot to Westbounio park ; the car was
full , yet at the station he , with others ,
tried to enter. The porter slammed the
door , catching Jackson's thumb. The
jury gave him 50 and the court of ap
peals said "lot him keep the money. "
IJut when the company went before the
IIoiiBo of Lords that august body said
ay. ,
The conventional value put on a fin
ger or thumb seems to bo $100. Toes
soldm faro so well and $25 has been held
ample compensation for u little too ,
though a man named Sanks waa recently
allowed $75 for his big toe.and a colored
one at that.
Legs are not considered as valuable
now as they used to bo very few of them
bringing more than $1,000 apiece or
$3,000 for a pair. A New York court ,
however , gave 11 man $12,000 for being
laid up and permanently lamed. Ills
doctor bill , it seems , was $1,500 , so tlmt
ho needed It. Ancthor New Yorker pot
$0,000 for a leg that was all right eight
months later. In a now trial , however ,
this price \vnsconslderciHoo fancy. In
Iowa u jury valued a leg at $1,000 and
the court out It down to-iJi.i'OO , as did a
Wyoming court where a jury extrava
gantly awarded a poor fellow $10,000 for
a compound fracture of the knee. In
England 200 has been considered ex
cessive for a broken leg , though in a
case where one Tebbut had his log frac
tured by a pleco of baggage falling on It
in a railway depot the court thought
300 not too much.
In a Massachusetts case Mrs. Foetal
went to a camp nicotine1 ono Sunday ,
where she saw a Miss Kills put
Into a box with her hands tied and
came out with a ring tlmt was
on her finger when she was put in
changed to hot * nose. On her way homo
Mrs. F , , as might have been expected ,
hroko her leg. She got $3,000. In an
Kngllsh case a lady , who apparently was
an her wedding trip , allowed her hus
band to lift her from the top step of a
car. The jump sprained her ktico. The
jury pave her ; U)0 ) , but the court ungallantly -
gallantly paid it was her own fault and
refused nor anything.
In Connecticut a baby lost a log and
an arm by being run over by a train of
cars. The jury valued them at $ t-,800.
An Illinois court hold that $ ll > . " > 0 was
not too much to pay a man for the pleas
ure of putting a load of bucushot
into his leg And a bullet through his loft
lung. In Wisconsin $2,500 was considered
far too much for a ruined ankle ,
and in an KnglMi case nominal dam
ages win considered sullluieiit for an
ankle ruined by a careless surgeon. In
the good old black letter days the pen
alty for disfiguring your neighbor's fnco
was 3 shillings' ditto for brciilcinu his
rib : a thlirh coat four times as much :
rohblntr a man of Ills beard co t 20 shill
ings and a front tooth was valued at 0.
Wo no longer have ilxod catalogue
prices , but under the prevailing rules of
law every person can fairly estimate
what his loncs tire worth to him in
other people's money. The jury is
usually instructed to consider the loss of
time and actual linancial loss caused by
the Injury ; the ago aud situation in llfo
of the injured ono ; the expenses in
curred ; the permanent effect on the in
jured ; one's capacity toattjnd to his for
mer business or to support himself as
before. Bodily pain , too , is to bo con
sidered ana compensated and under cer
tain limitations mental anguish also
counts for something. '

Buffalo Express : "William , " - sutd
Mrs. Fussly , "you are getting disgust

William said ho supposed he was.
"How much do you weigh , William ? ' '
asked Mrs. Fu&sly , after a silciyjo of ten
minutes.
"Two hundred and forty,1' said Wil
liam , sharply.
; uts. irnssiy signed deeply. "Yon
tic.ed to bo such a trim young man , " she
said , after another ten-minut-j stretch of
silence.
"That's right , " replied Mr. Fussly
complacently.
Then Mrs. Fussly went on darning the
stocking she had on her lap and Mr.
Fussly plunged deeper into his newspa
per. Nothing was said by either for
half an hour. Then Mrs. Fussly sat
halt upright and broke out : "William ,
you need moro oxorclbcl"
Mr. Fussly throw his paper on the
iloor and glared at his wife. "FAoi-oino

enough. You women think unices a
man works in a sewer with a pick and
shovel or saws wood with a crosscut saw
or p'junns down paving stones with
a movable pile-driver operated by
hnmun muscles instcud of by
team that ho docs no work
and gets no exercise. Now , 1 work
at my desk just as hard as I would if 1
were breaking stone , and a great deal
"
harder. When night comes" I am as |
tired as I would be if I pitched hay all
day. It Isn't the man who uses his
muscies mosi wno noes tno naroost
work , and I'm not in a mood for turning
Hip-flaps or doing the giant swing on a
horizontal bar after I got through "
"But , " broke in Mrs. Fussly , "I know
all that. I'didn't mean that yon should
go into training for a circus performer.
1 think that if you would walk more It
would do you good. For Instance , If you
would walk down to business once ouch
day , instead of riding always on the
street curs , I'm sure you would feel
better. "
" " said Mr. "I
"Fudge , Fussly , testily ,
don't bollovo that walking is any kind of
exorcise. I don't bollevo that if 1 were
to walk both wuys every day of my life 1
wquld lose an ounce of llesh in sixteen
years. Wallcing Isn't what It's cracked
up to be. Besides , " lui continued ,
triumphantly , "I do exercise every day ,
nearly. "
"What do you do ? " asked Mr ? . Fussly ,
with a great show of Interest.
"Why , 1 play two or three games of
billiards aflor business almost every
afternoon. That's pretty good exorcise ,
I tell you. "
"Whoro dons the exercise come in ? "
asked Mrs. Fussly , Innocently.
Mr. Fussly jumped to bin feet and
rngod around the room. "Where does
