Who Are Widows.

The Idaho statutes provide for a
widows exemption of certain
amount OF property from taxation,
to the extent of a thousand dollars,
we believe, There seems to be two
kinds of widows in the social world,
one whose husband is dead, and
the other whose husbands divorced,
but the law only recognizes one,
and that is the one whose husband
is dead, and it is to this class the
the exemtion applies. A devorced
wife in the eyes Of the law is not,
a widow but single woman with
only the rights andsprivileges that
belongs to her class, among which is
certainly not the privilege of Wild
ows' exemption from property tax.
In one or two cases the board all
owed a rebate of taxes assessed
against divorces upon the ground
that they were widows. They
were for trivial amounts, but when
Mrs. c. NJ. Leitch came in with an
to rebate her taxes for
the past four years amounting 70 |
$3.50, they began to investigate the
question as to whom the law is in
tended to apply to.--Ex.

A Child Hurt by a Colt.

On Wednesday of last week Clyde,
son of Mr. Hezekiah Harp, OF VOLTS
vile, this county, returned from the
stable to the house and was noticed by
the family to act strangely, and upon
being questioned stated that he had led
a colt from the stable with halter and
that he had wrapped the strap around
his hand, and that was the last he knew
until he found himself lying on the
ground. AS soon as it was found that
he was injured, his elder brother started
on his wheel to Myersville and sum-
moned Dr. l.. NJ Zimmerman. Upon
examination it was found that he was
suffering from bad cut over his right
eye and a fracture of the skull over his
left eye. It is supposed that the colt
was either frightened or playfully
jumped while being led by the boy,
and the strap being wrapped around
his hand threw him on some pieces of
heavy timber, as blood was found on
them. How long he remained uncon-
scious is not known. The doctor is of
the opinion that the outer shell of the
skull is fractured. The lad is very
badly shocked but continues to retain
consciousness. At last accounts he
was doing very well.
