ington street near what was the Paulus
saloon. \ lighted bunch Of fire crackers
was thrown out on the street. a span OF
horses were passing, and in the wagon a
man from Newton named Stethers, his
wife and daughter. The horses became
frightened by the exploding fire crackers
and turned suddenly around, breaking
the pole, and upsetting the wagon. The
three occupants Of the wagon were
thrown to the ground and Mrs. Stetbers,
who was pregnant received internal in

Az examination o. the assessment roll
while showing that more care was exer-
ciscd in listing taxable property than
heretofore, also reveals the fact that Il
great amount Of property has not been
placed on the roll. In the single matter
Of watches alone, we find that the 1st
ward reports but 3G watches and these
valued at 1913. The md ward % watch
Is valued at $3.50. In the 32d ward %
watches valued at S207. In the 18th
ward 10 watches valued at 1892. II all
the watches owned by individuals were
listed, one ward would furnish a larger
number than are now on the assessment
roll as being in the entire city. We no
ticed other omissions but shall await the
action of the board before mentioning
them.
