Charlie jackson, who along with his
wife were thrown from their buggy
some weeks ago on River avenue, by
their horse becoming scared at a bear
that was being exhibited on the street,
has sued the city for Sl2,800 damages.
Mrs. Jackson sustained a fracture of
the forearm and was otherwise hurt;
MIR. Jackson received no serious injur
les. The suit will command consider.
able attention on account of the
question of liability of cities permitting
such exhibitions on the public streets.
Quite an array of attorneys have been
engaged on the part of the plaintiff
and an interesting trial may be
expected.
The approaching bond election for
school purposes has not so far created
any apparent excitement. 1t is pretty
generally conceded that the bonds will
carry. Almost everyone approached
on the subject seems to be Of the opin-
ion that the schoolhouses are a necess.
ity and should be built at once. The
question Of voting bonds for school
purposes has not engendered that bitter
antagonism generally brought out
when any question of voting bonds is
preached. There seems to be but little
doubt but that the bonds will carry
and the the schoolhouses begun at
once. There is probably no single ac-
ton by the city at large that will &C.
complish more in the advancement of
the interests of the whole town
than the building of these public insti-
buttons. Every citizen is Interested in
seeing good schools and neat and con.
venient schoolbouses. Let everyone be
prepared to vote for the bonds.
