the grandfather of Marshall Lee, who is

There was a Screw" loose in the city
yesterday, but his, honor, the mayor, did
the tightening act this morning to the
tune of $3.50 and Barney ponied up like
a man. Walnut street last evening was
the scene of action and twas fast too. 1t
seems that Mr.. Screw, accompanied by
his mother, was a visitor here and his
team of mules were a little unruly on
Centre street, and when accosted by Off
Ger Smith he told that worthy official a
few things in plain English which prompt
ed that gentleman to hasten for a war
raAt, Away dashed the team from Cen
ire into Walnut street, nearly running
over folks at the intersection of the
streets and on it went out Walnut at a
most rapid flight. The mother, who was
clinging to the officer holding him back
was caught and lifted into the wagon
as it sped by. Sheriff Scott started in
pursuit, overtaking the parties just be-
yond the city limits, and fetched them
back and turned them over to the city au-
thoritfes with the result as stated. The
flight Was the occasion of much excite
ment and the wonder is no one was hurt
nor was there any vehicle, of the many
at the stime on Walnut street damaged
1t is / learned that after meeting al
school expenses last year there was sur
plus in the hands of the trustees from the
receipts of last years taxes, OF $3,075.91
which surplus, was used to pay OF the
debt of the graded school property. 1
is thought an equal amount will be OF
hand at the close of this year, not t.
speak Of the increase of over $500 from
the railroad tax. Thus it is that the
trustees hold they can meet the bonds
if approved, without penny's increase II
taxes.
The BOARD of directors of the Eastern
Hospital meet tomorrow. They will con
