John Johnson, a Young Swede
Living at 800 Jackson
Street, Dies Suddenly
CAUSE OF DEATH IN DOUBT
Thought to Be Due to Attack Of Heart
Failure, But May Have Been Brought
on by Internal Injuries Received
When Attacked by Albert Walker on
Nov. 5-coroner Will Investigate.

The little square house at 500 jack
son street, that came so near being
the scene of an awful tragedy on the
might of Nov. 6, when Albert Walker
|Oleson, was Monday night the place
where a sudden, and SO far unaccount-
liable death occurred. John Johnson, a
young Swede about 25 years of age, and
a brother of Mrs. Oleson, while sitting
In his chair with nothing apparently
seriously wrong with him, suddenly
dropped to the floor dead. One Of two
causes may be responsible for his
death. Either he died as the result of
tack of grippe, from which he had been
suffering slightly, or else from internal
injuries received when Albert Walker
attacked him on Wednesday, Nov.
with pick, while both were working
on the Northwestern section gang.
The matter may be investigated by
the coroner and county attorney. The
day following the attack upon Mrs.
Oleson by Albert Walker Johnson vas

CATCH LIVE PRAIRIE CHICKEN
Bird Blinded by Light Falls to Feet of
Pedestrians.

PedeStrianS.
1t isn't often that a man can lay his
hands on q live prairie chicken, es-
pecially a full grown bird and at this
season of the year, when the prairie hen
is about as wild as a western grizzly.
Such an experience, however, came to
Mr.. II. S. Lawrence, of the City Ma
tional Bank. and Manager j. p. Dotson,
of the Times Republican, Monday eve
ming, as they were on their way down
town from dinner. AS they We're cross
ing State street on Second avenue they
were startled by the noise made by the
fall of some object at their feet. The
fluttering of wings showed them that
the object was a bird. and upon picking
it up they found it to be a prairie
chicken.
The bird bad been lost from some
flock that had become bewildered by
the little snow storm that had blown
up. and in nearing the electric light at
the corner of State and Second avenue,
had been blinded, and, perhaps, stunned
slightly by striking a wire. The bird
was not injured in the least, however,
and when taken into the l.. w. Robbins
home, where the gentlemen board, 1t
WAS luuHu W De as pretty an opJecl III
its captivity as it is in the field, when
being hunted behind good dog. The
bird was kept indoors until this morn
ing, when 1t was liberated. Straight
way, without hesitation, it darted to-
ward the west, rising from its tempo
rary prison like a shot from a gun.
Ii prairie chickens are to throw
themselves upon the mercies of pedes-
TRANS, in the heart of a city, Messrs.
Lawrence and Dotson wish that they
would take a seasonable time to make
the assault, and not after the closed
season, when prairie chicken is an ex-
pensive delicacy, providing there is
game warden around.

of the raising of the platform In the
early spring. The entire platform will
be of brick excepting the space short

inches lower than the top of the brick

And had my ops and downs
Yet can Still

Or sing roundelay,
For, though hold

The stress and strife
OF toiisome life
Have taught me one glad truth
Not he who must
Crawls in the dust
But he who will, forsootht
And SO I sing
My song and fling
My load of care away;
For. though l hold
Nor lands nor gold,
NV skies are seldom grayl
1 would not give
A fig to live
Divorced from fret and mol;

Because of daily toll,

For, though | hold
Nor lands nor gold.

THE CENTRAL BRIDGE FRANCHISE

Now that it has been determined that the
difficulties of securing separate railroad bridges
across the Harlem compel the surrender of the
Central Bridge TO trolley tracks for the accom-
mediation of the people of The Bronx. the ques-
ton of compensation to the city for the use OF
the structures remains to be settled. The Mayor
has signed the ordinance granting the franchise
for twenty-five years. and the payment for it is
to be fixed by the Board of Estimate
The sound basis for arriving at a just figure
is the sum which it would cost the Huckleberry
road to get across the Harlem were there no
city bridge already equipped for its use. mat
is the value of the franchise TO the railroad
ANY smaller rental would be an ineXcusabie
gift to the company. which has dlsclalmed all
desire to grab city property for its own pront,
and founded its prayer for franchise on the
unwiIIingness of the War Department to have
the spans over the Harlem multiplied. Some
time ago the Controller made an estimate that
q bridge lust for trolley cars at Macomb's
Dam would cost 100000. The Central Bridge
cost much more than that. but. as it will serve
also for wagon traffic and pedestrians, the ad-
ditional amount may fairly be disregarded, ana
rental charged on the cost of a simple railroad
bridge Five per cent on 100000 is $4,000.
The maintenance Of the bridge amounts 10
about per cent on its cost The rallToad
share would be per cent of 100000, or ST.
o00 The One-hundred-and-ffty- ffth-st. viaduct,
which the road will also use, was built at an
expense of $50 -. The Controller est
mated that fair rental and maintenance charge
for the share Of the structure to be devoted TO
railroad uses would he $4,000. Thus for the
bridge and viaduct the total payment to be eX-
acted would be $4,000 a year. The city pays
out annually much more than that for these
structures which to be principally
occupied by the HucklebeTy road. 1t is true
that they will still be open to other uses, but
all experience shows that those uses will be
subordinate to the requirements Of the railroad
traffic
The railroad managers have themselves shut
the door TO any complaints against this charge
as excessive. They have professed an entire
readiness to build their own bridge, and have
only asked TO rent the city bridge because they
could not secure the right 10 build, no matter
how much money they spent. Therefore let
them pay the city what they would have to
pay TO get the same facilities in any other
way If they could so get them. The Board OF
Estimate owes it to the city 10 secure the fun
value Of the privileges which it grants.
