KICKED TO DEATH BY
HORSE ON THE AVENUE
Crowd Unable to Help Un-

GRATING PREVENTED ESCAPE
Net Intended as Guard Against Thieves
a Trap for Lewis Brown-Llyes
But Few Minutes.

In the presence Of several hundred
people who thronged Pennsylvania Ave
nue. shortly before noon. Louis 5. Brown,
driver for George E. CrosweH. confec-
tioner at 431 Seventh Street southwest,
was kicked to death by the horse which
he was driving.
Browns cries for help attracted the
attention of those passing, and although
a dozen men attempted TO eXtricate him
from the wrecked dashboard, wire
screen. and flying heels Of the crazed
animal. he received a kick in the abdo-
men, which resulted In his death few
moments aft Pr he had been taken TO the
Emergency Hospital.
Brown was driving east along Penn
sylvania Avenue, and when in front Of
DroOp's music store the horse became
frightened and began kicking viciously.
The driver at first tried TO quiet the
animal. and in doing so was caught in
between the wire screen which sepa-
rates the seat Of the wagon from the
interior and the iron-shod hoofs Of the
horse.
Horse Was Frantic.
Unable to extricate himself. Brown
made fratnic calls for help. In the vi
cinity were many people, and rush was
made 10 subdue the horse and extricate
the, helpless driver. but Efforts OF all
were alike unavailing. The heels OF the
horse were IN wild and murderous action
and not one OF the several hundred peo-
pie were able 10 reach Brown. who was
perhaps fatally hurt by the first blows.
It was not until the horse was thrown
down by Policeman Samson. that the po-
licenian and others were able TO take
Brow from his seat. He was bleeding
from severe wounds about the neck and
breast.
Died in Seven Minutes.
E:1e Emergency Hospital ambulance
was called. A few minutes after reach
ing the hospital. and not more than
seven minutes after the accident, Brown
died.
He was thirty-eight years old and had
q family. His home was a. FoUr-an5 a.
half and L Streets southwest. His wife
was nOtifed or the accident Immediately
after its occurrence, but Brown had
been dead several minutes when she
reached the hospital. He was an agent
for Confectioner CrosweH and Travelled
in all parts OF the city. He lad driven
the horse which killed him for several
months.

every stockholder an officer with a salary adjusted to his proportionate share of the stock The salaries are charged up to expense, with a c onsequent cost of production so great that there is no net output,and nothing to tax. The companies pay no dividends, but the stockholders have had their salaries, which are greater than the dividends would have been had there been a net output tax. So from that point of view it would seem that the gross output should be the basis for tax ation. The constitution of Wyom- ing provides that the gross output shall be taxed.
 But the objection to the Wyom- ing method would be the inequality of taxation between richly produc- tive mines and those not so rich. Or between mines of the same rela- tive productiveness with one hold ing great advantage over the other in cheaper transportation charges upon ores. fuel, etc.
 Bur those are details which can be wrought out for the best in legis- lation. The system is what is needed, and this article outlines a good one which is in practical use elsewhere.

A FAIR METHOD.

taxation, to which allnslon has been made of late in these columns, it would seem that the constitution of the State of Montana provides a most excellent method for taxation of mining property which is fair and equitable to all interested. The provision indicated requires assessment of the surface ground of all patented mines to be at the same rate per acre as the United States government charges for the ground, unless local considerations
 (such as subdivision of the surface into town lots) make it worth more. The surface Improvements, machin- cry, etc., of all mines are assessed as all other property is assessed. Then upon the mine itself there is provided fair tax, determinable by law, upon the net output of the property. The constitution leaves that part of it for the legislature to adjust by enactment.
 Some such method as the above outlined could be adopted in Ari- zona, and it would work we'll with out effecting hardship upon any one. The surface ground of a patented mine is surely worth the government price, or that amount of money Give dollars per acre) would not be paid for it. The ma chinery should be assessed at a fair valuation. No one ever raises serious objection to that. Then by taxing each mine upon its output there could be levied a just and equitable tax. easily determined, which the productive mine would have no difficulty in meeting, and which the non-productive property would not have to meet. The miner who is spending his money in cut ting a ledge in the hope of finding pay ore would not find his burden increased by heavy tax because his ground is patented; while the one constantly shipping rich ore would not escape taxation because he is holding under location and assessment work only. And the smelter returns or the mill returns would show at glance what should be the amount of the tax. Under that system tax of one per cent upon the gross output of the United Verde mine last year would have realized the county of Yava- pal and the territory the sum of $32,000, beside what would have come from the assessment upon machinery, surface improvements, etc. The total tax would have ex- ceeded s50,0O0. The company paid about $16,000. For a property which made net profit of $3,200,- 900 the sum of $50,0O0 would be a very light tax.
 The weak point in the Montana system lies probably in levying the tax upon the net product of mines. By that system it would be possible to run cost of production so high

BASE BALL.
WOODSTOCK S, LUDLOW :.


The Woodstock ball-players took
a game from Ludlow Saturday. The
victory was largely due to the rag.
ged fielding Of the visitors and time
ly hits by the home team.
Ludlow succeeded in getting one
man around in the first. Woodstock
did likewise. The second inning
put the visitors two ,uns to the
good. Woodstock tied the score in
the third. Ludlow went ahead in
the fourth, but the locals proved
equal to the emergency, and some
timely hits coupled with the bad
playing of the visitors put them
three ahead. The game might have
ended with the fourth, for neither
side scored again.
With the score five to three in
Ludlow's favor the home team start.

DRIVING CLUB MEET.
GoIdmont Ned, Mohegan Boy and
Golden ]. the Winners.

The first track meeting OF the
Woodstock Driving Club was held
on the fair ground Thursday after.
noon. The weather was fine, the
track in good condition and about
five hundred people were out to see
the sport. Some went to see "Jock"
Bowen steer one of the local favor
ties around the track and there was
also considerable interest in Hough.
tons "Mohegan," unknown to the
local track, but his performance
showed that he had heard IL bell
before.
"Chet' Cady was down from
Barnard with his gray scrapper,
well known on the Silver Lake ice
track, and helped out the show con-
siderably. The horse was bought
after the races by Charles Gates of
Fairview farm, Hartland, and Rev.
w. II. Mousley of Quechee.
The tree-for.all was an easy one
for Goldmont Ned, though the re-
suit might have been different if the
others had kept on the level. Gold
mont was reported to have done
halves in 1907 and similar stunts,
and the other entries were not ex-
pecting a very good time anyway.
"Jock" Bowen was up behind Mer-
rilrs Nancy B, Lady Belle was not
quite up to her Memorial day speed.
Mohegan Boy took the 2.35 in
easy fashion, the first heat showing
that he was very familiar with the
business, and he was not headed in
any heat. Maud B. was good
second, Cady's Johnny Darling
beating her but once in a sensational
drive home.
Five heats were necessary to
settle the $40 race. "Ted'' Far
reilly drove the Thomas horse the
first three heats. In the fourth
Name Unknown, with his owner
behind him, got little edgewise in
the scoring and was drawn. Dusty
and Golden ]. were rivals from
Pomfret, Dusty taking first place
twice, bat couldn't quite keep along
with Golden, driven by Johnny
