so-caIIed 'blacklist'' against railway en-
ployes has been rendered by Judge Evans,
at Columbus. Q: brakeman ann in the en- en-
charged on account OF freight wreck, for
which he claimed he was not responsible.
The company refused to give him clearance
papers, by reason Of which. he claims. he
was unable 10 secure employment on any
other road. He alleged that all trunk lines
are in combination and pledged not to en-
ploy any railroad man unless he has clear
ance. The company flied a demurrer TO
the petition, which was sustained by Judge
Evans and the suit was dismissed. The
court held that II, as the plaintiff alleged.
the company discharged him on account OF
the accident ii evidently had reasonable
grounds for so doing. 1t was the duty of the
company to take action of this nature. AS
the plaintiff had not alleged that the dis
charge was malicious, he could not maintain
any action III court
Some strange things occasionally occur in
the railroad service, but an incident occurred
on Friday in connection with the running
OF q Panhandle freight train between Anoka
and Walton. on the Richmond division,
a while. 1t was a through freight, fitted
out with the latest improved automatic
couplings. and was blowing along at a good
speed. y car along about the middle Of
the train became derailed by reason OF a
broken truck. and instead of throwing the
cars behind it the damaged car simply left
the track and took TO the ditch. In thus
parting with the remainder of the train
this ear did not break the couplings of either
OF the other cars next 10 II, the couplings
merely becoming detached. The rear of the
train caught up with the front end on a
grade all right. and, the automatic couplings
working all right the two parts OF the train
came together again and coupled on just the
same as though nothing had happened 10
mar the continuity OF the train. When the
train was checked up at the end OF the run
there was much speculation as to where
and in what manner that missing car had
made its escape. Traekmen the next morn
ing found the missing car in the ditch and
Inquiries were sent out. This form OF acct
railway circles. and is believed 10 be unique
in its character. The AFFAIR is being much
talked about in the Logan yards.

TREAT THEM FAIRLY.

A good deal is being said in the
press OF the State about the Govern
or and Controller being afraid to
challenge the assessment Of the rail-
road company. Last Thursday these
gentlemen met. with the board of
equalization o; Eureka county and
discussed tax matters. In the SEN
tineps account of the meeting we find
the following:
aThe board was called together In
the afternoon and all we're present.
The Governor stated that it was the
object Of the State officers to assist
the county board in the collection of
revenue for the State and county I'M
der an act passed by the last legisla-
ture. After showing the authority by
which he acted, he called for the as.
sessment roll Of Eureka county, and
then stated that he challenged the
roll on the ground that the valuation
was insufficient and not In accord
ance with the law, which requires
an assessment upon the full cash val
Ne Of the property. In citing in
stances he called the attention of the
board to the fact that on the day of
the session the agent Of the Central
Pacific Railroad company had filed a
mortgage with the county recorder
OF one hundred and twenty-five mill
lion dollars on about one thousand
miles of road, which indi Gated that it
was Dworth over 100000 dollars
a mile, while the assessor fixed the
valuation on the road at thirteen
thousand dollars mile. Other prop
erty was assessed in the same proper
ton, and the result was low valua.
ton and high tax rate, which was
very undesirable as showing for the
county" ..

ing 30 far in the conduct Of the Gov
vernon and Controller to justify the

THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
Tuscarora Wins IL by y Score OF
IS to 12.

The championship game between
the Elko and Tuscarora baseball
clubs was played on the Elko dia-
mond yesterday. The Tuscs rora boys
out batted the Elko boys and carried
on the honors by score ct % 10 IL.

not sustain his previous reputation
and the brawny boys from the upper
levels had no difficulty in finding the
ball OF getting bases on called balls.

ing OF Ertle. Shea, for tho Tusca-
roras, hurled the sphere with such
force and skill that the EIko boys did
good deal Of tanning. There were
some splendid plays made by both
mines, but taking the game as a
whole, the honors easily rested with
Dunn OF the Elko nine and Peoples
OF Tuscarora. Mitchell Of the visit
ing club and Dunn of the home nine
sent sky scrapers across the railroad
track and made home runs. In the
middle OF the fourth inning the Elko
nine put Taber in the box and Henry
behind the bat and the score of the
Tuscarora boys did not grow 80 rap
idly afterward.
The game was umpired by Mr.. Pei
tier and Mr.. Powell. Mr.. Peltier
looked after the strikes and Mr..
Powell, the bases. These gentlemen
we're thoroughly impartial and their
decisions we're readily acquiesced in
by both clubs. Toward the end of
the game a little unpleasantncss
arose and for time 1t looked as if
there might be scrapping match.
Taber Of the Elko club was at the
bat and Terrill, the catcher, hit the
bat with his glove just as Taber
struck fly. An argument arose
over it, but cool heads prevented any
scrapplng. This was the only I'm
pIeasantness during the game.

born July IL, 1868, in Mississippi,
and was married to G.. r. Dixon
in Brazos county, Texas, August
80, 1888.
To this union was born seven
children, six Of whom are still liv.
ing. Her death occurred on May
30, 1899, which was shock be-
cause OF its suddenness, az Mr..
Dixon left her appearing to be do.
ing we'll, he went TO his work and
in less than an hour his little boy
brought the news Of her death.
She died of heart failure.
As companion she was ever
true and faithful. Asa mother she
was kind and good. As a neighbor
she was ready and obliging and
was ever at her place in time Of
need. She professed religion and
joined the Baptist church five or
six years ago, aud as far a. known
she lived and died in the faith and
has gone to Heaven. To the rela.

say farewell, until we meet again
