COUNTY TAXES.

The rush of taxes at the office of
County Treasurer P. D. Twohy is over
until another year. Yesterday was a
busy day down there and during the day
the sum of SIG. 900 more or less was taken
in. Today the treasurer's force is busy
opening up letters which contain tax
money and will be entered with
yesterdays receipts, which will run the
total up about another thousand dollars.
Any xpaye who mailed his taxes to
the treasurer's office and the letter was
received in the Anaconda postofice any
time yesterday and not opened until to-
day will be exempt from the penalty of
10 percent, which will be added after yes
terday. The receipts of taxes for the
year 1899 up to Nov. l, had been $500:
during the month of November, 1853. 2O6,
and yesterday $4,000. making a total of
$190, s06 paid in from a total of about
$204. 900. This leaves a balance of about
5000 delinquent taxes, which will be
considerably reduced before the delin-
quent notices are printed.

A CLOSE CALL.

Abou a dozen people, residents of An
aconda and Carroll, who were passengers
on the east bound car which ran broad
sides into a freight train at the crossing
on Commercial avenue on Thanksgiving
evening, had a narrower escape from
death than many imagine. Two men
standing on the front platform with the
motorman say they never saw the freight
train until they were a few feet from II.
When they jumped off they were able TO
touch the freight train with their hands.
The people who were in the street car,
and some of them We're women. managed
to run and jump out the rear door, put
none of them were injured. From what
can be learned the freight train mao the
right of way and the accident would nave
been avoided had the motormman exer-
cised greater precaution at the approach
to the railroad crossing. The street car
was reported several minutes late II an
attempt was being made to make up
