Mr.. Williams, who is veteran mining

collision between two vehicles oc-
Cured on Main street, in front of Baker
Block. The horses were going at a
walk in different directions, and in try
ing to pass each other the wheels caught
in the street car track and slid along in
the effort to turn of, till the wheels be-
came locked in each other. One of the
occupants, a lady, was thrown ont, but
not seriously injured. Is it not time
that the City Council made the street
railroad companies put their tracks in
such condition that vehicles eau cross
them without the danger Of taking eff a
tire or a collision! w.. FFy4
Mr.. II. j. Stevenson has prepared q
fine map of the city printed in colors,
showing oil the new streets as we'll
as the old ones, and the names of
the owners of the large parcels Of land
within the city limits, and also the
names of the owners of the land on the
south side of the city to the original
charter line. On the north side of the
city the map embraces q new field ex-
tending mile and a half beyond the
city line. This district has never before
been properly mapped, and Mr.. Steven
son deserves especial credit for this ex-
cellent work, which should be in every
counting room in the city.
Some time during Monday night Mr..
VIM. Ii. Parker turned his horse out in
a pasture. about eight miles south OF
town, and in the morning when he went
to get him discovered fearful cash in
one of the animals forelegs, caused by
having run against the barbed wire
fence by which the pasture was en-.
closed. The cut is an ugly one and it
will be several weeks before the horse
can be used, if he is not disabled for life.
Isn't it about time these fences were
abolished? They are destroying valua.
BILE horses continually. iag ! fIsurt
Tho vindication Sale opened at the
Peoples Store yesterday in highly fat
tering manner to the proprietors. Passing
by at various times during the day we
found the establishments one sea of faces,
and the novel idea of presenting each
purchaser to the amount of $40 with q
handsome cornice-pole worth 81 so at
tracted many OF the crowd. 1t is no
wonder that this firm reap such ova.
tions at the hands of the public in re-
sponse to their efforts, since all new and
original ideas originate with them.
The good news came by special dis.
patch to the HERALD last night that the
great bridge over the Colorado was yes.
terday completed, and the great lines Of
through cars were once more in un-
broken motion across the continent.
Passengers, mails, express matter and
freight will go back and forth without
delay, and the volume of trade will be
at once increased. This will be cheer
ing news to all this section of the
country.
The good work Of making c,ncrete
sidewalk on the east side of Main street,
for 100 feet, in front of the Briswalter
property, is going forward rapidly. The
old walk was a disgrace to the city.
The new one will be an ornament to
the city. Who will be the next man to
lay as long a walky The City Council
should declare the wooden walks OH
Spring street nuisance and have them
replaced with concrete or asphaltum.
