DRUNKEN COWS IN A FIGHT.

Sanguinary Conflict Takes Place After
Meal on Fermented Cane.
The most exciting affair in the vicini-
ty OF Bronson, Fla, of late was the fero-
cious combat between two of Farmer
Hawkins intoxicated cows the other
day, causing the death of one after a
fight that would put a modern bull
fight to blush.
Hawkins Lives four miles from Bron-
son and prides himself upon his fine
stock. He makes lots of cane sirup
also. In the grinding season most of
the farmers in this country make beer
for home consumption from the '.cane
skimmings," but Hawkins is a stanch
teetotaler and vowed he would give the
skimmings to his cows. So he filed the
trough full the other afternoon. not
dreaming of the tragic consequence to
follow.
Soon two of his pet cows came up
and began drinking the liquid. 1t tast
ed good. and the cows wanted more
Soon they had on a goodly "jag" and
they got belligerent. One plunged at
the other, trying to get possession of
the trough. The other, with a below

side with artistic skill. The other turn

rushing back, pinning the COW to post

The fight then became general. The
infuriated animals beloved and
plunged at each other and fought with
deadly earnestness. This was kept up
for a half an hour, when one was
knocked down in dying condition, and
the other was just able to walk around
and below 'triumphanHy. The men
folks heard the uproar, but did not get
to the scene of the warfare In time to
stop it.
Mr.. Hawkins Is out one COW, but has
lots of experience. The old settlers
around there say this is common oc-
currence where cattle drink this skim
mings, as 1t makes them fighting drunk
and a scrimmage follows. In the old
times 1t was one of the boys sports to
get drove Of cattle in an inclosure
and feed them with cane slSimmngs

Naples and another home In Genoa.

bestowed upon him at all the great

LooTERs' HUMOROUS EXCUSES

The Russian papers just received
contain comical stories of the effects
of the Russian ministerial order against
footing in China. A private soldier
hauled before the provost marshal with
some valuable gauze ornaments in his
possession pleaded that he meant them
as a gift for the Vladivostock Museum.
He got off and a few days later his
escape placed the military Judges in
farcical dilemma probably without
precedent. A man had been caught
with a live Chinese hen in his haver-
sack, and he, too. pleaded that he had
thought of sending his prize to the mu-
scum. The papers aver that this cul-
prit also was permitted to escape

uary OF a clerk in the municipal ser
vice who inherited a large estate many
years ago, but who still retained his
clerkship and was remarkably punct
ual and efficient in the performance of

This morning the state executive council
consisting OF the governor, auditor secre-
tary and treasurer Of state met as an as
sessment board, and according to appoint
ment listened to the statements OF various
representatives of the railroad companies
As soon as the council met Secretary OF
State Martin presented the following reso-
luton, which was read, and he moved its
adoption. but asked that time be given the
railroad companies for full expression OF
their views thereon:
Whereas, The gross earnings of the rail-
roads of the state of Iowa as reported for
the year 1895 were S39, 622, 29O; Tor the year
lS9I' 0a3; for the year 1898, si6, 1908
Tor the year 1899, Sl95i9,619. and
whereas, The assessed valuation of the
railroad property of the state, based upon
the reports for said years, has been as fol-
lows to-wit; For the year 1897, A4,539l6;
1929, Ai $50, l29 and for the year 1900, sI60OS,
5l0: and
Whereas, The increase In the assessed
valuation made in the year 1900 was sub
stantially for increased mileage; and
Whereas, The gross earnings of said rail-
roads, as reported by them for the year
1900. are Sj2, i3OS00. and applying the same
percentage applied In the year 1900 would
result In an assessed valuation for the pres.

Whereas, 1t is believed that the assessed
valuation of other taxable property in the
state will be increased as compared with
former years; II is therefore
Resolved, That IL is the sense of the ex-

1t would be necessary in order to run the
department on that figure to do with one
less fireman The present annual salary

smaller amount.
The Appropriation for city water to meet
