steps had all been taken and it was the
general opinion that there would be no

and it was Of so formida BILE nature that

suing year will be elected. The eXecu-

little excitement yesterday by making
herself the subject of Il peculiar expert

was making repeated efforts to try and
induce her horse to drink Either the horse
did not care TO drink or was little frac-
tIous. Her last effort resulted III disaster,
the horse reared OF his hind feet and
stepped upon some soggy ground which
gave way underneath him. The horse
and rider were percipitated into the riy
er. which is some two and Il half or
three feet deep at that point. Several
men working on the railroad near saw the
affair and rushed to the bank and sue
ceeding in helping out very wet and
muddy girl. She refused 20 give her
name, but seemed to be afraid they
would recognize the horse. The general
impression was that the young lady is
from Chicago and is visiting friends i'll
this city. She was rendered aid from

were given more color by trainmen and

RACINE MASONS
TO TAKE ACTION.
Refuse to Pay Assessments Iowa
northwestern Life Assurance
Association Claims.

Racine, Wis, May 3.-[Special IA
mass meeting Of fifty persons, formerly
policy holders in the Northwestern Ma
sonic Aid association, has been called for
this evening to take action against the
Northwestern Life Assurance association
Of Iowa, which is trying to collect assess
mentS alleged to be due. Several years
ago the Northwestern Masonic Aid asso-
citation was formed and many Masons
in this city took out policies for from
$1,000 to $4,000. The association
branched out and soon the assessments
became 50 high that many of the policy
holders dropped out. The Iowa ASSOC
citation absorbed the Masonic association
and since that circulars have been sent
to the Racine members, stating that they
owe large back assessments which they
must pay. The assessments are in each
case from 500 to 500. The Racine men
claim that they had dropped out and
therefore owe nothing. The Iowa assoc
citation had put the claim in the hands
of Attorney j. L. Folsom Of Milwaukee
The Racine men claim that when they
dropped out there were sufficient funds
of hand to pay all claims.
