stop that horse" he cried second
time before he reached his objective point,
which was that of rearing bay horse
dashing here and there on the crowded
parade grounds in front of the bandstand
at Golden Gate Park yesterday afternoon.
But nobody stopped It, 1t wasn't the
kind of job that folks were looking for
and they let it rear and prance, much to
the danger Of the persons. horses and veh-
cies in the immediate vicinity.
The rearing horse was attached TO a red
wheeled road buggy. and its driver was on
the ground back of the horse. holding the
reins so tightly that the animal kept rear
ing all the more.
Finally Captain Thompson. who was the
figure on horseback and is of the park
squad of policemen, reached the spot of
disturbance. He made one grab at the
rearing animal and caught ii.
Then he extricated it from the tangle of
surrounding men and vehicles and led it off
to one sid e of the road.
a. P. Jacobs of 212 Washington street
and a gentleman friend followed. Mr..
Jacobs had good reason for following
Captain Thompson, for he was the pos
SCISSOR and the driver of that rearing horse,
When he examined his red wheeled road
wagon he found half a dozen spokes
broken in couple of the wheels aud the
box of the vehicle rather badly scratched.
But the horse was sound and the vehicle
held together while Mr.. Jacobs and bis
friend rode slowly into the outer world.

CAPTAIN Thompson.
Whatever it was it caused quite panic
for moment on the parade ground, and it
is little short Of miracle that some SUBJ
stantial damage to life. limb and property
was not done when that bay horse began
to rear and prance. There were a good
many high-spirited teams on the crowded
road at that time and while the melee
lasted the utmost excitement prevailed.

TAN ON RAW COTTON.
Machinery 10 Have the Same Re
funded,

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Feb. II The
Oates cotton tax bill TO day secured q
favorable report from the msjority of the
house committee on Judiciary. The bill
provides that the tsx collected by the
United States during war times on raw
cotton shall be refunded in the event that
the United States Supreme Court holds
the laws under which the tax was col
lected to have been unconstitutional.
The bill authorizes any person who paid
cotton tax duty TO bring suit in the court
of claims against the United States for
the recovery of the money. The right
of appeal to the United States
Supreme Court being given 10 each side
to the suit One test case is to be made
and no other cases are to be tried unless
the supreme court decides the taxing act
to have been unconstitutional II the act
be declared invalid, the court of claims
shall try every cotton tax suit commenced
within one year after the decision of the
| United States Supreme Court.
Bynum will put in minority report
and will probably be j)ined by other
members of the committee. The refund.
ing of the cotton tax would cost the gov
| ernment some millions of dollars, and
this fact alone, doubtless, will be suffi-
cient to prevent the bill passing congress
at this session. Its introduction by Mr..
Oates was one of the results Of the fill
clustering against the direc, tax refund
ing bill in the previous congress. At IN,
time of that fight Mr. Oates endeavoreC
to have the cotton tax refund tackled OF
to the other proposition.
