TO PETITIONERS
NO ACTION BY THE BOARD
Property Owners Along North A
Street Will Not Get Cement Walks
and curbs Until They Draw Up
Another Petition.

Several property owners on North
A street have been making inquiries
concerning the action taken by the
Board of Public Works, on the petit
tion presented by the last year. for
cement walks and curbs on both sides
of North A street. from Seventh
street to Sixteenth street. One mem
ber of the Board stated yesterday
that the report some time ago had
been referred back to the petitioners,
as it was incomplete in several res
poets. He also stated that the Board
did not act on the petition for some
time after it had been received and
when they took it up it was found
that several of the signers had sold
their property, died or had moved
from the city, and that the new prop
erty owners in many cases were not
in sympathy with the petition. Many
favored the cement curb feature but
object to having cement walks built.

RUN DOWN BY HORSE
Daniel Fitzpatrick Was Getting Out of
 Way of Trolley Car.

Daniel Fitzpatrick, about fifty years of age, residing at the corner of East Main and Hayden streets, was run down by horse and carriage last evening and because of his feeble condition his case is consider ed serious. Although no bones were broken and the only outward sign Of the accident was badly bruised face. still the attending physicians think that internal injuries may be discovered during the day.
 It was almost o'clock last even ing when MT Fitzpatrick who has been working for some time on the streets for the city was crossing the road near Hayden street. A car on its way to the center was approach ing and MT Fitzpatrick hustled across to get out of the way. On the other side of the car Samuel Root, the real estate man was driving toward the center also, built seems that Mir Fitzpatrick had no idea of the on- coming horse and carriage, because he did not get out of the way and UCAol0 uO was dWdIo Ol IL Iuc Sudlt had struck him and knocked him down. The carriage was rubber tired vehicle and 1t passed over the mans body. Many thought that the man had been fatally injured by the fall and several women who were on the car screamed as they saw him fall.
 MT Root quickly stopped his horse and hastened back to the side of the injured man. Several other men ran to his aid and crowd quickly collected. The man was unconscious when picked up. He was carried to his home nearby and Dr Thibault who was on the car made an exam ination of him. Dr Dillon was later called, but they could find no broken bones although the man suffered much from shock.
 It is said that Fitzpatrick some years ago was kicked in the head by a horse and since then he has been very feeble and at times ap- pears as though he were in stupor. Dr Dillon stated this morning that the mans condition had not i'm proved any during the night and that he might.
