Some Lads Fondness for Water Gets

police station yesterday afternoon at 4

Annexed Territory Taxes

The total value of the property in the
annexed territory is approximately
100000. At the dollar rate, this will
increase the receipts from taxes $40 600.
Much interest is felt in the apportion-
ment for the coming year, as the an
nexed territory will need much more
than the increased taxation. Under the
charter the rate of taxation is limited to
ST. and the only latitude allowed the
council is on the interest on the bonds
and sinking fupd.

prominent people in Philadelphia and

family moved to Cincinnati. Neff how

in Philadelphia. He there committed
embezzlement and later forgery in Della

his arrival lived in constant fear for his
liberty. Finally he evidently heard that
the officers were after him and so he

RANDSBURG MINERS
NOT MUCH INCoMMoDED BY
THE HEAT
Experiments to Be Made in the Treat
ment of Low-Grade Ores by
Dry Process

Special Correspondence to The Herald.
JOHANNESBURG, July 15-The
flag end" of the wave of heat which has
been sweeping over the east has reached
the Rand mining district and the past
week the thermometer has registered
from 100 to 100 degrees in the shade.
Some have hied themselves away to the
| beach, but the greater portion of the in
| habitants are keeping steadily at work
developing their claims and getting
ready for the advent of capital, which is
sure to come with cooler weather.
Kind friends warned your correspond
| ent of the terrors of a summer on the
desert, but if the past week is fair sam
pie of what is yet to come no one need
to fear to come to johannesburg on ac-
count of the heat.
During the day there is usually cool
ing breeze from the north which mater
tally tempers the heat of the sun, and
the nights are soft and balmy.
The ice man and milk man make their
daily rounds and the vegetable and fruit
men visit us two and three times week.
Vegetables are very little dearer here
than in your city; apricots and peaches
sell for cents pound and new apples for
cents; watermelons from 80 to rs cents
each.
Tomorrow test of dry crusher and
concentration is to take place at Rands-
burg and on the following day it will be
tested al Johannesburg. The machine
is the invention of Los Angeles parties.
who claim for it that it will do as good
work as the stamp mill. Should this fact
be demonstrated by practical test it
means much for the develop
ment of the many low grade properties
in this district, as the owners claim that
they can treat ore at a cost of not to
exceed $115 per ton. Their manner of
working ore is to separate the gold and
sulphurets. The latter after separation,
will be treated by the cyanide process,
the appliances for which will be brought
here in connection with the plant.

Quoting a game of craps, and come

But Cook did not want the Sergeant,
and started on a run down the alley,
with the latter in pursuit Cook STUN
bled and fell, and Plunkett took head
er over him. Cook came up again and
continued his flight but had the good
fortune to run into the arms of Deputy
Sheriff Smith who turned him over to
officer Pennish, and the latter lodged
him safe in Jail, while Sergeant Plum
kett. whose family had been awaiting
the outcome of the race, went to dim
ner.
Cook will be charged with vagrancy.
He has in the past given the local po-
lice a great deal of trouble, and was
connected with the old Gold Dust gang,
which was run to earth about two years
ago, and most of whom are in the State
prison.

BICYCLES ARE SAFE.
Like Furniture, They Are Exempt
From Execution.

Hereafter when a man goes through
insolvency he may include his bicycle
among the articles exempt from exc
cution.
Judge Ellsworth of Alameda has so
decided in the case of M. G.. Bugbee, an
architect, who failed recently. In his
original inventory of assets Mr.. Bug
bee listed not only his household furni
ture, but also his bicycle. He was adj
vised that the household furniture of a
married man is exempt from execution,
as are the implements of the trade
which he follows. Thereupon Mr.. Bug
bee filed petition asking that his fur
nitura, tools and bicycle be set aside.
He averred that the wheel was a ne
cessity in getting TO and from his reg
ular place of labor.
Judge Ellsworth held this point well
taken and granted the petition. The
effect will be to set aside a number
of recent Justice Court rulings in at
tachmrnt suits where bicycles owned
and used by mechanics and others in
travelling from their homes to their
shops We're seized and ordered sold to
satisfy judgments.
In arguing the Bugbee petition it was
represented that the long distance from
petitioners home to his place of bust
ness necessitated a mode of travel
other than walking. Should he be COM
PEELED to pay car fare it would mean
10 or 20 cents a day, While only the
wear and tear of the wheel would be
the cost if he were permitted to retain
his bicycle. The decision has caused
much comment among bicyclists.

A Drunken Man Saved From a

Yesterday afternoon a stranger con-

lay down to rest on the outer edge Of
the steamboat wharf at Front and X
Streets. He rolled off the narrow walk
into the river, twenty-eight feet below,
and was rapidly being swept under the
paddle wheel of the steamer Modoc, and
surely would have drowned had not
Deputy Sheriff Max p Fisher and an
other man, who We're near, FASTENED TO
his relief
They seized some fishing lines, and,
throwing them out over the drowning
man, succeeded in hooking his clothing,
and thus managed to pull him ashore.
The whisky and water-logged
stranger, after once more standing upon
terra firma and looking toward the place
where his body struck the water, said in
all earnestness:
"Py Got, boys, vat a schwimmer l
must be-"
Then he staggered up the bank and
wandered off to get drink after his
hard swim.

been gratifying, this being his fourth
annual tour, each one adding to the
popularity of his company. and his
financial success As has already
been remarked the best proof OF the
value placed upon a road company is
its treatment on return engagements.
Wherever Shaws company has ap

places as Fresno, for instance, where
five engagements have been filed, the
