L. s N. Wins Case Involving
Payment Of Taxes.

Louisville, Ky, Oct 2l.-Th,
Louisville and Nashville has wor
an important rax suit in the United
States district court for the Eastern
district of Kentucky, which, if af
firmed. will be of far reaching i'm
portance. Iu 1902 the l.. g. N.
filed a petition IN the federal court
for the Eastern district of Kentucky,
asking that the tax assessment on
its property in Kentucky be re-
duced 20 per cent. 1t was set forth
that the individual property owners
of the State were only assessed Oh
so per cent. of the full value of their
property and that the company
was Disseminated against in the
assessment.
Judge Cochran, at CovIngtou, has
decided that the contention of the
L. & N. is valid and that it should
be granted the relief asked for. The
case will probably be appealed.
It involves about $4,000 annually
IN state taxes.

the Twelfth infantry, squadron of the
Fourth cavalry and two batteries OF ar
tillery. Gen. Cars command comprised

fire occurred this morning about 10
o'clock

his store to burn some waste paper and
in burning it the wind blew the flames
into tank filed with oil that was next
to the building, the tank at once ex-
ploded, throwing the flames all over the
south end of the building, which caught
fire at once. The Independent telephone
system occupies the second story of the
building, and the flames reached so high
that it burned the poles and melted all
lines going out from the exchange Of
flee. Business was suspended and all
people in town turned out and the fire
was soon extinguished before further
damage was done.

CHECKED BY DYNAMITE.
Fire Threatens the Destruction
of Truckee, Cal.

Truckee, Cal, Oct. 26.-The lumber
yard and sawmill of the Truckee T.um-
ber company were destroyed by fire
today and are now smouldering heaps
of ashes. An adjoining box factory
was saved. The fire is now practically
under control. The spread of the flames
was checked by explosions of giant
powder, which however did consider
able damage to nearby buildings.
The loss is $4,000, partially covered
by insurance.
The water supply gave out and a fire
engine was sent from Sacramento to
assist the Truckee engine and the rail-
road fire train. The lumber yard is
built up on 40 feet of old slabs and
these are burning far down beneath the
surface. Great clouds of steam and
smoke are coming up through the slabs.
Several attempts have been made to
blast a fire break through three slabs
and nearly all the windows are broken
in the upper part of town.
