Captain John McGuinness returned yes
terday from trip to Washington gulch
where he wasssent by the county treas

a1sdredging placer mining plant, on which
the taxes for 1898 had not been paid. The
treasurer learned that the machinery was
being moved and was to be shipped to
California. and Captain McGuinness
found that portions of 1t had already

and the matter was quickly settled by
the payment in full of the taxes, penalties
and COSTS which footed up more than

Similar action will be taken at once in
number of other cases where the taxes
on personal property have not been paid
for the last year. A number of mort
cages held by residents of Anaconda who
own no real estate have delinquent taxes
charged against them. In some cases the
mortgages have been paid or transferred
tAsother parties. In all cases the holder

shown by the records. will be required to
pay the taxes, and any property, personal
or otherwise held by such party is liable
to seizure and sale. The extra costs of the
seizure, advertising, supervising sale, ETC..

at the treasurer's office. The taxes are

OWNED BY TEXAS JACK
Mr.. Furay Received the Gun He
Had When Killed.
HE WASAFAMOUS OUTLAW
Supposed to Have Killed More Than 90
Persons With the Gun His Re-
cord In Southern Arkansas
and in Texas.

Officer William F. Furay yesterday
morning received from Frank B. Cros-
thwaite of Washington, D. c., present
OF which he is proud, and the other Off
GERS say he has a right to be. The present
was in the form of gun which was ta-
ken from famous outlaw who was
known as Texas Jack" The gun is a
very large one, being a 45-caliber of the
old Colt pattern Of four clicks.
In the letter which accompanied the
gun Mr.. Crosthwaite relates the circum-
stances of Texas Jacks capture by
deputy United States marshals, his at
tempt at escape and HIS shooting down by
the officers. That part of the letter is
as follows:
THE gun which send you is the orig
inal one which was carried by Texas
Jack" for more than five years. He lived
in Southern Arkansas and the gun was
given to him by his brother. who was also
a famous outlaw. Texas jack had been
guilty of many crimes during these five
years, and it Is said that he killed more
than 20 persons with that gun. The po-
lice had been hunting him up for more
than two years, but Texas jack sue
ceeded in escaping. His narrowest es-
cape from capture was in 1887. He was in
Texas at the time, and just as he was
boarding train an officer went to arrest
him, but he was too quick for him and he
escaped. He was SO successful in evad-
ing the officers that it was thought he
would never be captured. In 1883 he was
very successful in his hold-ups of trains
and stage coaches. He made a large
amount of money that year. In Novem-
Der Of that year he arrived in Southern
Arkansas from Texas and was getting
things ready for the hold-up of train
that would yield him a large sum of mon
ey, but he never got chance to carry it
out. AS he was going along the railroad
tracks In Southern Arkansas one evening
in the month of November large num-
Der Of officers sprang on him from all
sides, but as he was trying to make
his escape he was shot down by one of
the officers. He died instantly. The gun
which l send was found on him and
was afterwards turned over to me-

h sis there in Anaconda an epidemic of

question that is at present agitaing the
!. physicians of this city, and they have
! good grounds upon which to rest their
I. agitation
During the past three weeks three
deaths have resulted from spinal menn-

4 were Mrs. johnson of East Park avenue;
I. Mr. Anderson, who was employed at the
converters, and William Carter. who died
! on Wednesday afternoon of this week.
There is another case at the hospital at
present. 1t is that of Angus Mcleod.

ow of the robust young man who was
Z taken to the hospital last December from

pioyed at the time. He is now totally
deaf but it is thought he will recover his
hearing in time.
Cerebro spinal meningitis is disease of
1.-THE spinal column and BRAIN The first
symptoms are usually severe pain in
the back and head and vomiting, lasting
!. from "a to So hours. during which the pa
TENT is in great agony and may become
delirous and often violent. The sickness
may end in paralysis in some parts Of
the body.
i In many cases the disease often impairs
some of the faculties. such as the hear
Ting, the speech or the eyesight. The re-
v covery of patient Is very slow and the
disease is generally fatal in from two
to four days.
Patients are usually taken down with
the disease while at work or at night
Z. after some unusually severe strain or ex-
sposure. Physicians are not agreed as to
fthe causes of this disease, but it may gem
orally be traced to bad hygienic condi-
tons. overwork or exposure. The physi-
\ clans are in doubht as to whether the
sdisease is contagious or not, but it is a
Significant fact that in larger cities than
Anaconda cases average one, q month,

hospital alone have been reported.
Cerebro spinal meningitis Is the same
disease with which many gold hunters
i were attacked last winter while crossing
sthe Chilkoot pass on their way to the
n Klondike gold fields. In some camps the
disease was SO prevalent that many ply
Isicians believed it to be contagious, and
that question is still in doubt.
