On the Rampage.

Last evening about 6 O'Clock, Dis
trict Attorney Summerfeld called OF
NJ. Cohn and charged him with
slandering him. He claimed that
money was not safe in the County
Building while Summerfeld was al
lowed to retain his office there
Cohn denied that he had made
this remark, and Summerfeld chal-
lenged him to come out and fight.
COIN said he would do so if Summer
field would divest himself of his gun.
A war of words followed, honors be-
ing about even in the unrestricted
use of abusive language.
NJ. Cohn stated to an APPEAL re
porter that he had said that Summer
field, who wanted to retain his Office
in the County Building, should be
made to leave VII 4 his terra expired,
but made no illusions to the safe.
DR. Guinan bears hin. out In this
statement.
More trouble is likely to occur.

KANSAS POLITICS.
The Cause of the Great Change in
The State.

-Four years ago Kansas was the
banner Republican State, giving
Harrison a plurality Of more thar
! 80, coo, In proportion to its vote
Kansas has averaged the largest Re-
publican majorties from its admission
as a State up to and Including 1888,
of any State i'll the Union. But since
1888 wonderful change mas come
over politics of the State Now,
What has brought about this changei
No one will deny that Kansas was
settled by as energetic and temper
ate class Of people rs inhabited any
of the Northeastern States and it is
one Of the most productive States
a3ricultulally Ct the great Vest.
But, notwithstanding all these ad :
vantages the property of Kansas is
plastered with bonds and mortgages
till it is in soak with debts for more
than double what it is assessed for,
According to the census of 1890 the
mortgage Indebtedness was more
than 1921 900, 900; its railroads were
bonded fer more than SI20, COO, 900,
VII y al assessed value of the
pro ,crty in the State for the same
year was less than 1921 100000,
making these two items of indebted
ness exceed the total assessed valua-
ton Of the State by more than $780,
600, 90.
In 1899 the farmers of Kansas be
came suspicious that the Republican
party WAS not dealing justly with
them Their debts were becoming
very oppressive and they decided to
take account of stock and compare
notes, 1t was then they made the
discovery that they had been betrayed
and sold into bondage by the Repub-
lican party. They found that the
Republican and Democratic National
organizations we're owned and CON
trolled b the money oligarches of
the northeast section of the Union
aud their partners in Europe, and no
matter how poor crops were III Eur-
ope the money kings would depress
prices in this country below the cost
Of production SO as 70 keep the
farming population in everlasting
bondage But now that the farmers
IF Kansas have had the courage to
cut loose from the two old parties
and demand fair deal the money
kings hope to crash them back into
subsection by threats of foreclosure
md a game of cinch, but it IS doubt
'ul if the money oligarchs can suc>
,eed, for the farmers Of Kansas are
n earnest and will make it fight to
| finish. A FARMER

THE STATE LIVE STOCK.
Some Curiosities OF the Assessment
Roll.

Roll.
| The assessment rolls Of all the
counties of the State are now on Tile
in the State Capitol. Surveyor Gen.
email Jones has computed tables fol
these rolls, which show the value sf
the live stock IN Nevada
There were assessed in the State Of
Nevada in 1892, lGG, 874 head Of cat
tie, valued at 81, 800, 1873 or between
SI3 and $l4 a head La glancing
over these tables one Is struck by
many curious things.
For instance Humboldt county
turns IN q, AT head Of cattle in
Gliding cows, beef cattle, and stock
cattle, valued at 1852, 923, but not a
single bull shows up Oh the tax rolls
of that county.
The same state OF affairs exists in
Nye, Elko, Esmeralda, Douglas,
Churchill and White Pine.
1t is clear therefore chat in order
to perpetuate the species in those
counties they are obliged to depend
wholly upon the bulls Of their neigh>
bors in Eureka, Lander, Washoe,
Ormsby, Storey ard Lyon counties.
70 Saratoga, the Holstein bull
owned by the APPEAL editor, is re-
served the proud distinction Of being
the highest assessed bull in the State,
to wit 500.
The APPEAL dofs its hat to As
SCISSOR kersey for this official ac
acknowledgements Of the value of the
Holsteir breed above all others
Stock cattle are assessed less than
beef cattle and this is probably why
the stock cattle of the State as turn
ed in to the Assessor number LAG,
$50 while the beef cattle make the
modest showing of only 9436. Out
Of 1G6, POO cattle in the State, the in
crease, according to the Assessors
rolls, depends on IS bulls There
fore if these - bulls should be sold
and sent out # the State to meet the
requirements Of a California beef
famine, the stock raising industry of

several people, including two ladies. had
very narrow escapes from being trampled
to death by a wild colt that had broken
away from somewhere in the Mission, The
brute came down Howard street as fast as
he could gallop and turned up East to the
ferry. Quite large crowd of people had
just landed from one of the Oakland stsam-
ers, when the horse suddenly dashed across
the car-tracks and headed for the waiting
room. There was . mad rush to get out of
the way by men, women and children and
most Of them reached places of safety, but a
man and boy who had just got off a car
were not so fortunate, for The animal
knocked them down. There was a chorus
sweryed 10 the left and charged through
the crowd in the direction of the Market
street cable-car turntable, around which the
animal tore as if bent on killing some one,
Several people were knocked down, but by

HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
Peculiar and Mysterious Woundfng of
August Paulson.

Peculiar and Mysterious Wounding of
August Paulson.
A middie-age poorly dressed man was
found lying unconscious on Townsend
street. near Third. about 8 O'clock yester-
day afternoon. Blood flowed from wound
on the right side of his head and those who
gathered around him thought that he had
fallen in fit. Southern Station police were
notified and Officer Harris had The man con-
yeyed in an ambulance 10 the Receiving
Hospital. There an examination by the
surgeons showed that the mans skull was
fractured. When given s:imulantS he re-
yived sufficiently to SAY that his name was
August Paulson and that he lived on Third
street. He then became very weak and was
unable to say more. Then he was placed
under the influence of chlOrof0rm and his
skull was trephined. The sufferer was laid
away on cot and under the influence OF
opiateS went TO sleep.
The manner in which he received the In
jury could not be ascertained From the
nature of the injury the surgeons thought
that he had fallen upon his head. Paulson
was dressed in working clothes and had the
appearance Of being sailor or longshore-
man.
The nature of Paulson's injuries and the
iDcUherenJ statements made by him In his
semi-unconSci0us condition led the police
TO believe that he had been struck from be-
hind by some blunt instrument.
Officer Il. q. Harris was detailed by Cap
tain Short to investigate the matter He
ascertained from Frank Alexander. who
resides with PaulsOn, at $40 Howard street.
that PaulSon had been sitting in the Electric
Light Company's eDgine-room, talking to a
friend, and that after leaving be took ut
and fell on a pile of bricks on Townsend
street. I. +. Maher of GIL Harrison street,
and Joseph Kane of 800 Fremont street, saw
Paulson fall, and corroborate AleXander's
