Appellate Court of Indiana,
February ,, 1899.

IT IS y GOOD DEFENSE TO \
SUIT FOR y STREET ASSESS
MENT, THAT THE WHOLE COST
WAS ASSESSED ON DEFEND
ANTS LAND AND NONE ON THE
LAND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE STREET AND THAT DE-
PENDANT HAD PAID HALE THE
COST; THE LAW PROVIDING
THAT THE, COST SHOULD BE AP-
Portion ED ON THE LANDS
AUDITING CN THE STREET.
This was a suit to collect an assess
mcnt against land abutting on Il street
for the costs of Il local Improvement.
There was Judgment for defendant and
plaintiff appealed The defense set up
was that the whole cost of the improve
-ment-htte- been assess'c+i-t,lon the de-
tendant'S land and none Of ii on the
land directly opposite on the other side
of the street: nor on any other prop
erty; and that the defendant had paid
onc-half the assessment before the ac-
ton WAS brought.
The court says:
1t will he observed that the answer
attacks only the amount of the as
scssment. Under our statute this right
Is given when, as in the case before us,
The property holder has not signed any
waiver. or exercised or claimed the OPP
ton of paying the assessment in INSTALL
mcnts. Section Of the same act pro-
vides: The cost OF any street =
improvements shall be estimated ac-
cording to the whole length Of the
street per running foot. and the
total cost thereof shall be appor-
toned upon the lands or lots abutting
thereon. The record presents Il
case Of ordinary street Improvement, in
which 1t appears from the answer that
The property against which it is sought
To enforce the lien has paid ono-half
the cost OF the improvement. which is
all under the aVcrments Of the answer
and the statute that could be legally as
sessed against Ii. Judgment affirmed.

BY A HAIRS BREADTH.
Ninety Passengers on Missouri Pacific
Train had G Miraculous Escape
Wreck on Rivers Edge.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. A.
Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 10,
bound from Kansas City to st. Louis,
was wrecked ] mile west OF this city
at $3.50 this morning.
Engineer Ohas. Clauson, of Sedalia,
and fireman william Zoll, of st. Louis,
were killed.
The train ran into a boulder which
had fallen from the bluff on the river
front onto the tracks. The engine, as
soon as 1t struck, broke loose from the
rest of the train and plunged into the
river.
The engineer and fireman jumped,
but were caught under the engine al II
rolled from the track and we're killed
instantly.
All the coaches left the track except
the rear Pullman coach, but they went
on the opposite side of the track from
the engine, against the bluff, and this
fact probably saved the lives OF the
90 passengers who were on the train.
The train was due to arrive here al
$40 and was running at full speed
when the accident occurred.
The force of the collision was such
that the locomotive knocked the OBJ
struction from the track.
All trains were delayed by the
wreck until noon. The fast mail from
st. Louis west was delayed several
hours.
The passengers on the wrecked train
were brought to Jefferson City and
cared for at the hotels by the railroad
company until the track was cleared,
and they we're enabled to continue
their journey.
The accident was one Of those I'M
fortunate occurrences for which APP
parently no one Is to blame.
