A young daughter of William b.
gard, Jr., was seriously injured by an
accident, occurring on the MoundsviIle
electric railway line in lower Benwood
Yesterday afternoon about four o'clock.
The little Bogard girl, aged four or five
years, together with several of her
young companions, was playing near
the graded switch on the line AT
Shafps store, and as she was cross
ing the track, was struck by a car,
which came along in charge of VIM |.
Hensy. She was knocked down and
the a passed over her body, while
she lay in the centre of the track.
The unfortunate child had her right
hip dislocated, her head and face bad
ly Gu and scratched and may have
been hurt internally. She was at once
carried to her home nearby and later
was given the necessary medical aid.
While her injuries are of a painful
and serious nature, the attending phv-
sician is hopeful that with care she
may recover.
Those who witnessed the accident
state that it was not the fault of the
motorman. The child. is said, unfor-
tunately started across the track only
a short distance ahead of him and
while he made a great effort to stop
the car, was unable to do so owing
to the grading at this point.

INTERNAL REVENUE.

A Statement From the Commissioners
Showing the Source From Which
1T Comes.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Secretary
Gage to-day sent to the Senate the
following reply to the resolutions Of
April 20, 1900:
Treasury Department,
/ Office of Com. of Internal Revenue,
WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a.
! To the Honorable Secretary of the
! Treasury.
Sir:-I have the honor to return
herewith Senate resolution of April 20,
1900, referred to this office by Honor
able Assistant Secretary H. A. Tay-
lor on the 21st inst, in regard to the
amount of revenues derived from the
so-called wal revenue act, with state
ment showing the total amount of such
receipts from the 18th of June, 1898, to
the 31st ultimo.
I would be glad to furnish a more
detailed statement, showing the
amount received from each source un-
der the head of schedule "a" but it is
impossible to do 20 with any degree
of accuracy. 1t would be useless to at
tempt to indicate the specific documen-
tary taxes paid by the five hundred
million one-cent stamps used, especial
ly in view of the fact that beside the
four specific purposes for which the
one-cent documentary stamp is pro-
vided by law, stamps of that denom-
nation may be used on documents re-
curing a higher tax, the question be-
ing merely whether there is sufficient
space on the document for afixing
stamps Of the smaller denomination.
The same. difficulty would be encoun-
tered in an effort to trace the particu-
lar documentary taxes paid by the five
hundred million two-cent stamps Used
for the payment of taxes under sched-
ule "a

New Mexico Fence Law

Midland, Tex. Jan. 15.-Quite q
mum Der of cAttlemen here own ranch
es in the eastern part of New Mexico,
and it is against the law to inclose
lands in that territory. However, q
large portion of that section Is under
fence, the law having never been en-
forced.
OF late there have been some con.
ten tions between the large cattle own
ers there and those here, growing
out of range privileges and disputed
rights. AS result considerable feel
ing has been engendered. And the
end is not yet. Those who have been
watching the trend of affairs will be
interested in knowing that Andrew
Allen and J. S. Daugherty, two pros
porous cowmen here. have been cited
to appear before the United States
court at Socorro, N. NJ, Jan. %, to
show cause why their fences around
certain lands in New Mexico should
not be removed ard torn down.
Mr.. Allen was seen and said he had
but few sections of land inclosed, and
that it was absolutely necessary to have
these in order to keep up his ranch:
that he did not love to cause trouble to
others similarly situated, but that if he
had to take down his fences he would
see that others did the same If he had
to make the complaints himself, and
that he expected to start to New Mex
leo in few days to see about it.
Mr.. Daugherty was seen. and made
similar statements.
