NEW ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT FORMED
Lexington Avenue improve.
ment Is Taxed to Residents
of Big Section.

All the property embraced in the
district bounded by st. Clair street
on the south, the Northern Pacific
tracks on the north, Victoria street on
the east and Smelling avenue on the
west, will now have the pleasure of
paying for the parking and widening
of Lexington avenue as an approach
from Summit avenue to Como park.
This new assessment district, in lieu
Of the much smaller one knocked out
by Judge Kelly's decision, was select
ed by the board of public works yes
terday, and. while it is subject to
change, yet in the main it will supply
the money for the Improvement.
The board has on it's hands three
improvements, the paving of Payne
avenue, the parking of Lexington ave-
nue. and the surfacing of Chestnut
street with sandstone, for which, so
far, 1t has been unable to collect be-
cause Of faulty assessment levies, and
it spent the greater part of yesterday
in making out new assessment dis
trict.
AS far as Payne avenue was con-
cerned, the board decided to wait a
while, but in the matter of the other
two improvements new districts were
mapped out, and the spreading of the
assessment will be commenced as soon
as the preliminaries can be completed.
The substance of Judge Kelly's de-
cision was that distances from the i'm
provement rather than the value Of
the property should determine the
amount to be assessed, and it was this
that governed the board in it's selec-
ton Of an assessment territory.
In order to make the assessment as
light as possible under this new plan,
the district in each instance was made
as large as possible. Payne avenue
property owners figure that they can
secure an appropriation of $4,000 from
the council to pay for street intersec-
lions, and in order to give them a
chance the reconstruction of their as
sessment was delayed.
OF the three the Lexington parkway
is the largest and most important, and
the board is anxious to have it set
tied as soon as possible. The park
board is also interested in having the
matter closed.

MISSOURI OFFICERS
GET THEIR PRISONER
outwit Montana Authorities by
Clever Ruse.

While one OF them watched the pris-
oner and the other kept a sharp look
out for lawyers with wr1ts and things.
Two Kansas City detectives made a
flying stop in this city early yester-
day morning. The prisoner was Carey
Snyder, Of st. Louis, and he is wanted
IN Kansas City for stealing $4,000
worth of diamonds.
The two officers and their prisoner
are In flight before the majesty of the
law of Montana, from which state the
prisoner was brought from under the
very nose of the authorities. AS one
consequence of the hurried departure
all of the police force of Billings is UP
for contempt of court for turning
Snyder over to the Missouri officers in
defiance of a writ of habeas corpus is
sued by the Montana courts, after the
governor had honored the requisition
or the governor of Missouri for his re-
turn. --
Snyder is the son of r. N. SNYDER,
formerly prominent banker in st.
Louis, and his lawyers had intended to
make strong fight against his return
from Montana. The Missouri officers,
with the aid of the Billings police,
however, solved the difficulty by TAX
ing him out of Montana without so
much as by your leave from any
body. ea--s=-c--
The escape was the result of deep
strategy. Tickets were purchased over
the Burlington road and preparations
made with all the openness possible,
and then the party left town concealed
in the cars of circus company, leav-
ing the baffled officials to spend their
money and temper along the wires of
the Burlington line
The st. Paul police were notified of
the approach of the party, and this
morning Detective LaValle was on
hand to aid them on their way. He
hustled them over to a nearby eat
ing house. and while they had break
fast purchased their tickets for them
and got them out of town without
more than three peop,1- knowing they
were in the city. Unless intercepted
they reached Missouri late last even
ing.
Snyder, the prisoner, is well edu-
Gated and fluent talker. He is said,
however. toebe dangerous man and
an expect with gun. At any rate
the officers are taking no chances with
him. ~ So

cision. He announced to the ATTORNEYS
for both parties yesterday afternoon

SCENES OF BARBARISM
Witnessed by a Woman Missionary in
Western Africa.

London, Dec. 31.-Mrs. Allen. of the
American-African gospel mission, sailed
for New York today from Liverpool on
the White Star line steamer Celtic,
after four years work among the Ma
nakroos in Liberia Just prior to sail
ing from Liberia she witnessed severe
tribal fighting between the allied inha BIZ
tants of the coast towns and the bush
men. Mrs. Aliens mission house was
the center of the first conflict, and the
NanakrOO queen sought refuge there.
Mrs Allen refused to leave, although
advised to do SO by the Liberian troops
sent from Monrovia to support the
coast towns. During the fighting Mrs.
Allen was not molested. but she wit
messed remarkable scenes of barbarism.
There was not actual cannibalism, but
the bodies of the slain bushmen were
chopped up into small pieces and the
ears, heads, arms and legs were cut off
and distributed among the various
towns as trophies of victory. The
bushmen ultimately we're worsted and
returned to the interior.

CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Most of the occupants of the first

the fire burst out they with one stimuli
taneous run made for the exits. In the
aisles they fought tooth and nail, and
whan the hremen reached the balcony
they found bodies upright. wedged be-
tween chairs like so many sticks. Some
of them were burned to a crisp. others
were suffocated. while some in their
frenzy had leaped over the balcony rail
into the auditorium and We're incine-
rated.
Fear of a collapse of the walls of the
building occupied by the Chicago Real
Estate Board next to the theater
caused the firemen at 5:15 p. m. to or
der the removal of the many bodies
which had been tken to the real estate
building.
After the first alarm of fire, when the
excitement was at its height. two ex-
plosions of gas tanks occurred. hurting
fragments through the roof. 1t was
then that the flames broke out at the
roof and through the windows.

Do we really want to know for year

store for US constitute one of it's
charms? OF course if we could look
ahead and know that the day on which
we celebrate a pleasant anniversary Of
some sort IS to be sunny and bright
and altogether just the weather for a
celebration, we should welcome a sci
entific year-long weather prophecy, but
to know that a day in which we want
to be happier and jollier than at any
other time in the twelve months is to
be stormy, perhaps blizzardy, is going
to take the good taste all out of an

of the wonderful possibility of such
