quest a hcIunu.
The internal revenue bureau has already
received number of applications for the
refund of the amounts paid as income
taxes prior to the decision of the United
States Court declaring the law to be un-
constitutional. The blank forms of appli-
cation for the refund were sent out about
ten days ago, and almost Immediately
began to return from nearby points. The
question as to whether the commissioner
can repay the amounts without formal au-
thorization of Congress has never been
formally raised, but the officials have no
doubt that the law authorizing the com.
missioner TO refund internal revenue taxes
wrongfully collected will be held to apply
10 taxes collected on incomes. The
amount collected does not exceed $50, 00C.

A Lively Runaway

About the worst runaway Of the
season occurred near the Hunter
Mills yesterday. Captain Nugent
Of near Milan had driven his wagon
and team up in front Of the Office of
the mill and had stepped away a few
feet from them. A Santa Fe engine
came backing down to the mill and
frightened the team which backed
the wagon into the bay window Of the
mill office damaging the window
somewhat, Tue team then started
forward, and wheeling around, they
ran between the Office and the coal
sheds between which there is barely
room enough for a wagon to pass.
Here the team almost ran against a
locomotive. Still worse frightened;
they whirled suddenly around against
the back OF the office. c. E. Hitch
cock, who was standing there, was
caught between the team and the Of
fee building and pretty roughly treat.
ed but not badly hurt. The team
then started around the office. The
wagon was upset and the coupling
pole broken, but the team kept on
with the front wheels ahd the bed Of
the wagon, leaving the rear wheels
behind the office. They only ran a
short distance until they encounter
ed a tree just in front of the mill,
The team ran astride of the tree, one
horse on one side and one on th e
other and there they pulled and surg
ed back and forth until they were
caught. Nobody was in the wagon
at the time Of the runaway. The
distance run was short, but it was one
of the liveliest and most destructive
runaways we have had occasion to
note for some time. The horses were
not injured but the harness was
broken all to pieces.
