MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
A Young Lady Knocked Down and
Rolled the Street by
CabIe-Car

At $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon on
Post street, between Kearny street and
Grant avenue, car No. 10 of the cable line
knocked down and badly bruised Miss
Agnes Henneberry, girl OF 16 years.
Miss Henneberry resides at 116 Jones
street. That the girl escaped with her
life is remarkable, for she was rolled
several feet by the guard board in front
before the gripman could stop the car.
DR.. Rosenstirn, in his buggy, happened
to be passing at the time, and was one of
the first to release the girl from the peril
Gus position. Miss Henne berry was con-
veyed through the crowd to q lodging
house near by. Or. Rosenstirn found that
deep cash on her right arm and several
bruises on her face and head. The young
lady was removed to her home late IN the
afternoon.

Mail Carrier Boutwell, Tries to Escape
His Fine by Running but is Caught.
I. T Boutwell, was 'ft'' in police court
yesterday afternoon. He had been ar
rested for putting his right fist against
the left eye of Lewis Wilson who is one
of his neighbors at Wanamaker.
Boutwell, carries mail and a consider
able temper and it seemed from the evil
dence that one time when it was muddy
he had made Wilson turn out of the road
because of it.
OF course this created feud with Will
son, who is a middle Of the road man,
and when they met at Sixth and Kansas
avenues yesterday something happened.
The police judge was unable to tell ex-
actly what it was, for there were differ
ent stories. Wilson, however. introduced
his eye in evidence. and it was enough
to impel fine of SO.
''All right said Boutwell,, and made a
break for the street door.
''Hold on there" said Judge Ferry.
''We do a cash business here"
Boutwell, had succeeded in getting out
on the street before Sergeant Ellison
could catch him and make him come
back.
He was locked up, but later declared
his intention of appealing the case. and
putting up $40 to insure his return was
released.

Hank TrOwbridge's Resolve to Stay Out
of Jail Broken in Three Days.

at police court this morning.
Hank had turned over a new leaf and
begun the new year out of Jail. On
New Years eve he had been released
having served seventy-four days of his
century" for conducting a dispensary
without permit from the governor
This time Hank had evidently been
trying to drink up his stock and his hand
shook with emotion or something az he
came into the court room with the sad
smile of a penitent sinner upon his face
"You are charged with being drunk, +"
said Judge Ferry, as he removed his ear
muffs; "what have you to ssy?'
"Well," said Hank, 81 guess I did
drink little more than 1 should have
that time," and after pause. SIT was the
first time for a year and will probably be
the last time for another year."
Ill fine you So said the Judge, and
b Q did.

SAVE THE ASPHALT PAVE.
Repairing to Be Done During Winter
Months
TO KEEP IT FROM GOING TO PIECES
More Work Next Spring Will Put 1t
In Order for Several Years.

More Work Next Spring VIII Put 1t
In Order for Several Years.
The asphalt pavements are to be re-
paired at once. Contractor ]. W. Shaffer
said today that Mayor Fellows had or
dered him to commence the repairs as
soon as possible.
The work will commence as soon as
the surface heater, which is used in
making the repairs, eau arrive from
Kansas City and that probably means
early next week.
Shafer's contract was made with the
council last summer and he is to do the
work for seventy-tive cents per square
yard, which is fifty cents less that was
paid before for the work.
The question of making the repairs
was referred to the committee on way
and means at the last meeting of the
council, but the course of the mayor in
ordering the repairs made at once will
be approved. The pavements are fast
going to pieces and every day makes
the repairs more expensive. The work
will commence on Kansas avenue and
the worst places in the pavement will be
fixed first
Extensive repairs will not be made
this winter, and the contractor will be
limited to $500 this month. 1t is not
considered wise to make the repairs in
very cold weather.
What Kansas avenue needs is a resur-
facing of strip on either side of the
street car tracks which is badly worn
There are some very bad holes in the
pavement, however, which require i'm
mediate attention, and the surface heater
will be put 10 work on them,
The mayor and council are awakening
to a sense of their duty in this particular.
The asphalt pavemeats must be repaired
because the city cannot afford TO have
them ruined. It will be cheaper to
fix them now than in a year from now,
and economy in other directions will
probably enable the city to make the
necessary repairs.
What will be done now is only fore
runner to what will be done after the
cold weather is over. The council is
disposed to save the asphalt. and they
will have the cooperation of the citizens
in their efforts.
