the town board, two supervisors, clerk,
treasurer, assessor, two justices of the
peace, and three constables. The HER
AID would suggest that primary be
called for Friday night and straight

NO BLAME ATTACHED.

But Bad Brakes Figured Largely
in the Selby Hill Fatality.
The coroner's jury in the case of
James Brown, whose death was caused
by collision with cable train OH the
Selby avenue hill Tuesday, went into
adjourned session yesterday at 2
o'clock. n. P. Sanford stated that in
his opinion the brake system used by
the City Railway company was faulty
and inadequate. He had examined the
workings of the brakes and found them
not so we'll adapted for effective service
as those OF other cities. James Brodie,
the passenger who jumped to the brakes
when he saw the inevitability of ali ac-
cident stated that he only gave the
wheel two turns, and released it as
soon as he was told to do so by the
brakeman. Matt Thiei. t1agman on the
hill, said that the train had almost
stopped, but slid forward again, and the
accident ensued. The jury returned
characteristic verdict to the effect that
the deceased Brown came to his death
by being run over, and exon Grated the
employees of the company from blame.
