More trouble is in store for the
Northern Pacific railroad on account
of the Division street crossing at
Sprague avenue. Last night A. Hicks,
driver for the Pine Creek Dairy
company, was struck by a switch en-
CINE while crossing Sprague avenue
with his wagon. The switch engine
struck the wagon with considerable
force and it was only by the greatest
good luck that Mr.. Hicks escaped being
run over by the engine. AS it was, he
sustained serious injuries to both hips.
He was picked up by bystanders and
taken to his home.
Mr.. Hicks claims that he was wait
ing at the Division street crossing for
the Northern Pacific east bound express
to pass. The switch engine was on the
side track on the opposite side from
where Mr.. Hicks was standing with his
team. As soon as the passenger train
had passed he claims he started to
cross the street. The switch engine had
also started. When then horses had
barely passed the track the engine
struck the wagon and hurled Mr.. Hicks
to one side. The wagon was broken in
many places. Mr.. Hicks considers him
self fortunate that he escaped as luck
lily as he did.

SMUGGLING DOGS.
Fight with Another Canine Led to
His Detection and Owners
Arrest,

Ell PASO, Tex, April 5.-A dog
fight has revealed a unique method
of smuggling to the United States
customs inspectors here. An intelli-
gent st. Bernard dog, owned by a
Mexican, has been crossing and re-
crossing the Rio Grande daily for
more than a year.
His international visiting procliyi-
ties were never suspected, but few
days ago he was attacked by bull
dog at the Ell Paso end of the Rio
Grande bridge, and in turning to give
battle dropped a small package from
his mouth.
A customs inspector standing near
picked up the package and found that
it consisted of expensive Mexican
drawnwork
1t is now believed that the dog has
been Smuggling daily. His owner has
been arrested.

THEY WOULDN'T
STAND FOR IT
PEOPLE MIGHT STAND CALMLY
BIZ AND WITNESS THE UNCLE
TOMS CABIN PARADE, BUT
THE EQUINE SOUL Is NOT so
LONG SUFFERING.

Common, ordinary mortals might
not make protest, but it could not
be expected that a team of 1900
pound horses would stand quietly to
see little Eva of Uncle Toms Cabin"
fame pass by In her chariot without
entering a protest. Strains from the
heavenly instruments held the people
lined up on the street spellbound this
morning as the band, accompanied by
the blood thirsty" bloodhounds, the
fat boys and Topsy passed along
Front avenue.
1t was too much, however, for the
team of bays hitched to a lumber
wagon on Howard street. The lack
of appreciation shown by them was
cruel. After enduring the alleged
sweet strains from the mixed band
as long as possible, they broke the
hitching strap and started for the tall
timbers. Many mortals who lined the
sidewalks did their best, with the
help of hats and coats to command
the attention of the runaways and to
compel them to stand so as not to
disturb the audience. Useless! With
protests being shouted on every side
the team took to their heels up How
ard street. The fender of a Hillyard
car was partly demolished, and mem
bers of the fair sex on Riverside and
Howard gathered up their skirts and
took to the cigar stores, The male
population did the same, but explain
ed to the fair DANES that discretion
was the better part of valor.
The horses, finally becoming tired
and thinking that the bloodhounds
were not on their trail, came to a
halt on Howard street near First
avenue

MANY APPEAL
THEIR TAXES.

WHY Taxes Should be LesslBut the CON-

SOME QUEER QUESTIONS

Z The Commissioners Of Appeal,
Messrs. Brogger, Gray and Koch. met
in tile office of City Clerk John
Reilley at 80 o'clock last night to
listen to complaints from the tax
payers who received the bills which
were sent out yesterday afternoon.
For short time it looked as ii the
commissioners would not have much
to do, but mt 8 o'clock the people be-
gan to arrive. They continued com
ing until nearly 8 o'clock IN all it
is estimated that fifty complaints were
filed.
One taxpayer complained that he
was a poor man and did not own any.
thing and shouldsnot bestaxed for the
amount he was asked to pay. After
some Questioning he admitted the
owned q big store bet said he had
only 5000 worth of the goods. Com
missioner Brogger asked him how
much insurance he carried, and before
the fellow had time to think he said
50. 900. He got no reduction.
In another case Smith street mer-
chant said that he owned three lots in
upper Smith street. Inst year he
was taxed SIS and this year he got a
bill for $25. He asked the reason
why and was told if the city gets fire
engines and other improvements they
must be paid for. In many other cases
people who hal complaints were list
ened to by the commissioners. At 8
o'clock they adjourned to meet to-
morning at 10 o'clock in the
council chamber.
Today the property owners are COM
ing in great numbers to the Office of
Collector Hall and most of them are
settling.
