Exciting Runaway.

Mrs. Gould, of Yakima City and Miss

the Cowyche, had pretty close call in a
runaway on the avenue last Friday.
The team got frightened and ran furious
ly from First street until near the post
office, when the wagon in which the
ladies we're seated collided with another
wagon and the force of the shock threw
Mrs. Gould and Miss Mckenzie violent
ly into the street. The ladies were badly
frightened but not seriously hurt. Geo.
s. Davis endeavored to stop the horses
in their mad career and was dragged a
short distance, when he became exhaust
ed and had to let go the birdie of one OF
the horses.

Another Serious Runaway.

Mr.. Al Atkins, the clerk at the Wal
lace-C oburn Hardware company. accom-.
panied by his wife. baby and little boy,
while driving this morning near the
Peck ranch, just south OF the Natchez
gap, met with a very serious accident.
The horse became frightened at the
umbrella which Mrs. Atkins was raising.
and giving two or three wild jumps tossed
the buggy against large boulder at the
side of the road, throwing Mr.. Atkins
violently head foremost against the hard
ground. The affrighted animal then
dashed down the road at terrific speed,
throwing from the carriage in turn Mrs.
Atkins. (who had grasped the reins, but
was unable to control the terrified steed, J
then the baby and little boy. Mrs.
Atkins and the. baby, we understand, are
not badly injured. but shortly before
going TO press we are unable to learn just
how seriously Mr.. Atkins and the boy
are hurt. According to current reports
the boy is still unconscious, though the
accident occurred some hours ago. 1t
seems his most painful wound is severe
cash in the skull. The father is badly
cut and bruised, one side Of his face
being laid open. Probably no bones are
broken. DR.. Gordon is attending the
suffering parties.

SMUGGLERS BOUND BY OArHs,
Murders Recently Committed by an
Organized Band of Spaniarda
Near GIbraItar.

Smuggling still forms a regular and
oath-bound secret profession in the
land of the hidalgos. It's operations
have lately been quite active about the
coast near Gibraltar. Several murders
have been committed within n few davs
recently on Spanish soil near the Brit
ish frontiers by a band of sinugg!ers,
the victims being members of the
"Compania TabacoIera," a sort Of GUS
toms detectives for the prevention of to-
bacco smuggling. Upon request of the
Spanish authorities the chief of the
Gibraltar police, accompanied by :. ma
rine police officer and lieutenant of
the Spanish militia, proceeded in n
launch to the back of the rock to search
some caves. With the aid Of rope lad
ders they entered a cave at the height
Of 70 feet from the sea, where they
found Spaniard, one to ten murderers,
guarding part Of the bands provisions
and stock. The bandit gave considera-
bic trouble to the invaders of the cave,
but was finally cornered and in a
wounded condition lowered to the boat
by means of ropes. In times of yore
these caves of Gibraltar have been the
lurking haunts Of pirates and SNUG
glers.

CHINESE ALMANAC.
An Infnl1ible Journal That Enjoys
the Largest Circulation In
the World.


The Chinese Almanac is the most
largely circulated publication in the
world, the number of copies printed
and sold yearly reaching several mil
lions. 1t is printed at Peking, and is
monopoly Of the emperor, no other al
nnanac being permitted to be sold in
that country. Although containing re-
liable astronomical information, it's
chief mission is to give full and nc
curate information for selecting lucky
places for performing all the acts,
great and small, ofeyeryday life. And
as every 3acs Of life In China, however
trivial, depends for itsfsnccess on the
time fniwhich, and the direction (point
OF :ogmpass) toward which It is done, ii
is Of the utmost Importance that every
one should have correct Information at
ali times available to enable him so to
order his life as to avoid bad luck and
calamity, and secure good luck and
prosperity. So great is the native faith
in it's infallibility, that not long since
the Chinese minister to Germany re-
fused to sail on day which had been
appointed because it was declared in
the almanac to be unlucky.

FIRED ON THE BOATMAN
Harsh Measures Taken By Policeman at
Laredo, Texas.
International Complications May
Arise Over Dispute Between Bridge
Company and Ferrymen.

CHICAGO, August 5.-A special to the
Tribune from Laredo, Tex. says:
An incident occurred last night on the
river front between the two Laredos which
may create complications between the
United States and Mexico.
Several years ago the city of Laredo
transferred for a valuable consideration
the ancient and exclusive ferry franchise
across the Rio Grande, granted by the
King of Spain in 1912, to the International
Tramway Bridge Company, which erected
an iron tram and foot bridge between the
two cities.
Later line Of skiffs was established be-
tween the two cities in competition with
the bridge. Recently the bridge company
complained that these skiffs were carrying
passengers from this side and demanded
that the city protect the company. Sew
eral arrests and confiScation Of skins have
been made by city authorities on this side
for violating the city's franchise.
Last night city policeman opened fire
a skif which had cleared from the
Mexican side with two passengers on board
and forced the boat to return. The po-
liceman declares he did not shoot to kill,
but only to frighten the skiffman, who
was accused of violating many times the
rights of the Texas city.
The matter would probably have been ad-
justed by the local authorities, but it is
reported that the incident has been re-
ported to the state department of both
governments.

WIDENING OF 10TH STREET
Verdict Of the Third Jury Tbat Ho,
Considered the Case

The jury appointed to determine the
damages for widening 10Th street from Flor
lda avenue to Columbia road completed it's
work last evening. The verdict will be re-
ported to the court. This is the third Jury
that has considered the subject with the
view of determining what the District and
the property owners should pay for the
strip of land forty feet in width which ii is
proposed to add on the west side to the
present width of the street, and also for
the land for the extension east Of Wyoming
avenue at its junction with Columbia road
The award of the last jury for damages
amounted to about $4,000, and it is un-
derstood this jury's award Is stin lower
as the total damages are placed at about
$4,000. The benefits which are assessed
against the property under the law are
one-half of the damages.
1t is understood that the feature of the
verdict OF this jury, as compared with that
of the preceding, is the placing of the bene-
fit assessments upon wider area of ada
cent property. 1t is believed that the as
sessments are made TO Apply to property
on the streets east as far as the ridge. The
jury also found that as the extension of
Wyoming avenue will leave wide plaza at
the intersection of 10Th street and Column
bia road the property on both sides will be
considerably benefited.
