and Mary Dreamer, was born in
Columbus, Ohio, May 20, 1858. At an
early age she moved with her parents
to Howard county, the trip being
made overland by team. Settlement
was made near Howard Center.
Margaret had five brothers four of
whom survive her, and although she
was married at the early age of sixteen,
she never tired of telling about her
old home life. October oath, 1869, she
was welded to Daniel Howard, in
Cresco. They were the parents of
ten children, two daughters and four
sons are living. A few weeks ago

nursing and medical assistance, she
finally Succumcd to u complication of
ailments rendered fatal by a weak
heart Death occurred at 9:l5 D. M.
Monday, April 16, 1900. 1t has been
truly said: "Mrs. Howard was a woman
of many graces, chiefest among them
was the gift Of making a pleasant
home, and of giving to her children
the counsel and devotion that should
inspire them to constant effort to
improve the talents with which they
had been endowed. She was not
ambitious for herself, but for her
loved ones her aspirations were un-
bounded and her faith in them was
complete" Her heart was centered
in the family circle, she dreaded the
time that would bring "the breaking
OF old home ties," she would weep
bitterly over vacant place at the
table and sob and pray by vacant
bed. During her last illness she said:
"Oh l can die happy. My children
are all mine yet, they all love me first. {"
The funeral services were conducted
by Father Mccarthy at the Cresco
Catholic church, Thursday morning.
Interment in st. Joseph's Cemetery.

Fell Into a Moving Machine.

Chris Frantzen, the year-old
son of MIR. and Mrs. John Frantzen,
met with a painful accident Tuesday
afternoon. The lad undertook to I'M
hitch a span of horses from a mower,
but did not unlock one of the tugs.
He then mounted one of the horses to
ride home, when the horses took fright
and ran away. He fell off the horse
into the machine and his left leg was
cut severely in two or three places be-
tween the knee and hip. The wounds
are ugly flesh wounds, but nothing
serious. The boy had a very narrow
escape.

County Delinquencies.

The Controllers books for the years
1897, 1893 and 1899 show unsettled bal
ances due the State from the various
counties aggregating 81, 124. The only
county square with the State is Chur-
chill, that county having paid the
State $24.l6 more than it owed.
These amounts, however, may in
many instances not be actually due the
State, as they may consist of property
on which taxes were not paid and
which, after being advertised as delin-
qaent, were bid in and held by the
various counties. In some instances
the amount in dispute arises from the
different constructions Assessors put
upon the law relating to certain taxes
due for State and county purposes and
no other
1t is held, for instance, in the Con-
troller's office that The proceeds from
the bullion tax go to the State, after
deducting the amount due the county.
Some counties, however, insist on pay
ing the school taxes and special bond
taxes out of the bullion tax, after de-
Quoting the three per cent for collect
ing. The State holds that the law does
not allow this, and has therefore called
upon the various counties for the diff
ference. The revenue law of the State
is in such complicated condition from
hundred and one amendments that
it is likely that the matter cannot be
adjusted until decided by the COURTS

A Crazy Horse Delays the U. S. Mai


A crazy horse in the Carson stage
Tuesday caused considerable trouble
and delay and injured the driver The
horse became manageable mile or
two the otherside of the Seamon saloon
and tore its bride off and the team
ran away. The driver, Henry Rice,
was alone on the stage. He kept the
horses in the road and finally stopped
them. When he got down to replace
the bride the crazy animal jumped at
him, bit his clothes and struck him
with her front feet, bruising his left
side and hip severely. He unhitched
the horse and tied it to a telephone
pole.
Just then a man came along in cart
and Mr.. Rice got him to go to Mr..
Cradlebaugh's and get another horse
for the stage. 1t took half an hour to
get the harness off the crazy horse.
After the harness was off she attacked
the telephone pole, bit it, struck it
with her feet and cut and bruised her
head She finally broke her halter and
got away. She returned to the stage
barn at Genoa the next morning The
animal will be retired from active SER
vice for time at least. The driver
says he would have retired her on
short notice Tuesday if he had had a
gun.
Mr.. Rice drove the stage to Genoa,
where he was obliged to lay over for
repairs.
