Thirty Horses Attached to combina
tion Harvester Stampede.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 24.-Twelve
horses were killed outright and nine
others so severely injured that it was
found necessary to shoot several of
them, in a runaway with a combined
harvester and thresher to which thir-
ty animals were hitched near Ritzville,
Wash, short distance south of Spo-
kane, few days ago. The loss is
placed at $500 by H. Dorman, on whose
ranch the wild stampede occurred.
BENJAMIN e. Harvey, of Spokane,
who was an eye witness, describes the
runaway in these words:
while it is not known what fright
ened the horses, it has been learned
that the driver was on the ground in
specting some of the machinery, when
the animals almost with one impulse
made dash. The immense harvest
er was dragged through the wheat,
scattering an avalanche of straw and
heads about until the sickle broke.
Most of the ground is level prairie and
the frightened horses set up a terrific
pace, which was maintained until the
leader fell, others going over it.
THE frenzy of the animals was in
creased by the struggles of the fallen
ones, that were hopelessly entangled
in the harness. Those able to keep
their feet continued to tug and they
dragged the heavy machine over the
heap of writhing horses. Several
broke from their harness and got
away, but twenty -one Of them were
either killed or injured beyond hope
OF recovery. a.. ~----As- =
1T was one of the most terrific
smashups ever saw and it is remark
able that the driver escaped without
injury as he was among the horses
most of the time"

TREASURY AGENTS ABROAD.
They Will See That Importations Are
Not Underyalued

Tpon the recommendation OF Assistant
the Secretary of the Treasury has estab-
lished five special agency districts in
Europe. Up to this time the only agency
in Europe was located at Paris, whence
special agents were sent to all parts Of
Europe as the necessities of their work re-
quired. This involved heavy travelling ex-
penses and frequently vexatious delays
which. 1t is expected, will be obviated by
the new arrangement.
The first district will consist of Great
Britain, with headquarters In London; the
second Of France. Spain and Italy, with
headquarters in Paris; the third of SwitZer-
land, with headquarters at the great lace
manufacturing center, st. Gall; the fourth
will consist Of Holland, Belgium and that
part of Germany west of an imaginary line
dra wn from Bremen south to the northern
boundary of Switzerland. with Headquarters
at Cologne; the fifth district will consist
of that part of Germany east Of an imag-
mary line drawn from Bremen south to the
northern boundary of Switzerland The
headquarters of this district will be In
Berlin.
The names of the agents to be put In
charge of these several districts probably
will be announced within the next week
One of the important duties of these Gus
toms agents is to see to it that importa-
tions Of merchandise into the United States
are not undervalued. Special agents also
will advise the officials here of purchases
abroad where there Is evidence that an at
tempt is made to escape the payment of
customs duties upon arrival in this country

Fate of Human Flies.

From the Technical World.
Perhaps no band Of men in the world suf-
fered such constant injuries. II not death,
as the corps of building wreckers to be
found in every large city. They visit a
building which has been Quilted by fire, the
tottering walls of which are still standing.
and which, accordingly. are a menace to
pedestrians. 1t is the business OF these
wreckers to pull the wall down. and a half
hour spent watching them at this work
brings the quick thrill as nothing else in
our hum-drum urban civilizet on cen They
swarm over the swaying walls with reck-
less impunity, fastening ropes here and
there, preparing for the long and strong
pull. Frequently the walls go In simply be-
cause of the weight Of the men at work
upon them. The bodies are dug out of the
mass of iron and brick, and the work goes
on as If nothing had happened
