TRACTION ENGINEDANG ERs.
Regulations by Law for the Safety of
Teams.

a farmers team IN North Abilene
was severely frightened last evening by
traction engine met on the road.
The horses turned quickly nearly up
setting the wagon and ran several
blocks before they could be stopped.
There is too much recklessness in run
ming engines through the city and it is
a wonder more accidents do not result.
There is a stringent state law gov
erning the matter. 1t requires all
persons owning or operating traction
engines of more than one ton in weight
to lay down planks not less than one
foot wide, three inches in thickness
and of sufficient length, on all bridges
and culverts in crossing same. The
same law provides that when moving
any traction engine upon the public
highway, and a team is met, the person
in charge of the engine shall give as
much of the road as possible, and shall
shut off steam and come to halt, !
when at least one hundred yards from |
the team, and wait until the team has
passed by one hundred yards before
starting. Also that no one shall run
any such engine upon or through the
streets of any village, town or
city without having team
thereto to assist in draw
ing and guiding it. The penalty for
the violation of any of these provi-
5iOns is fine of not less than five dol
ars for each offence. The safety of
the public requires that these proYi-
3iOns be faithfully observed.

The severe thunder shower that
came up last evening about O'Clock
and swept over the county from north

lightning and considerable wind. In
the city no damage was done but south
of town in Newbern township the
electric fluid struck the handsome farm
house of Col, L. Swigart, going down a
chimney and bursting into the sitting
room. Some of tie ladies of the family
were slightly affected and the colonel
himself was stunned, not regaining

a narrow escape for the gentleman.
There was little damage done the house
beyond the demolition of the chimney

DEATH TOOK HIM.
Disease at Last Claimed Its Young
Victim.

Victim.
The young BuTkhart boy whose suf
ferings from supposed hydrophobia
were related yesterday failed to stand
the strain of the disease as it was
hoped and expected he would be able
to do. The little fellow had a hard
seige of the dread disease and it was
not until last night that it reached the
climax, when he died in commissions.
The boy evidenced every indication
Of having been bitten by a mad dog
but as he had, according to the Doctors
judgment, other complications death
was perhaps not the direct result of
the bite. He was not especially vio-
lent except at periods and stood the
pain bravely. He passed away into
the hereafter leaving broken hearted
mother and father TO mourn his men,
DRY.
There can be nothing but profound
sympathy for the btreaved parents.
One child's life is worth more than
all the CANNES that have existed since
the days of Adam and the sad incident
should induce a more careful watch
fulness and better regulations regard
ing the horde of dogs running through
Abilene's streets, even though there is
doubt as to the cause of the death. 1t
is not exactly known 20 whom the dog
that bit tie boy belongs as Wash
Shook denies owning him.
Henry was born June 26, 1875, and |
hence was d little over Is years of age.
He had never been strong and his
system was undoubtedly ready to
receive injury of any kind most !
severely.
An interview was held this after
noon with DR.. NJ. Kirsch, the attend |
ing physician. There is a possibility
that it was not hydrOphobia'', he said,
because the dog is still at large and |
has not given symptoms of being mad
If the dog had gone mad there would
have been a difference for there was
evidence of something of the kind ex-

Dickinson County's New Departure
a Leader.

DICKINSON county New departure
Leader.
The action Hf tie county commits
siOners yesterday afternoon ia adopt
ing the resolution as provided by the
last legislature for doing away with
tax sales to individuals has caused con-
siderable comment. Dickinson county
is the first in the state to take up the
new privilege. The law under which
the action is taken provides that after
the lands on which taxes are delin-
quent have been advertised the county
treasurer shall instead of selling them
to the highest bidder who will pay the
taxes allow no bidding but take the
land for the county. The lands will
be held by the county for three years,
subject only to the right of the owner
or his representatives to redeem them
by paying the taxes and interest as
heretofore. If at the end of the three
years the lands have not been redeemed
the county commissioners shall then
dispose of the lands for the cOunty's
benefit under the general provisions of
the law now in force.
The commissioners have the right to
revoke the resolution at any time
The cOunty's abundant surplus in the
treasury makes it able to do without
the immediate payment of delinquent
taxes and as they will eventually be
nearly all paid, together with accruing
interest, the county will be consider
ably ahead in the end.
