City, Mrs. Robert Holcomb, wife OF
well-known stockman, was badly in
jured. Mrs. Holcomb is quite horse
woman, but her animal frightened
and pitched her headlong into a barb

and her husband were following had
struck the scent. Mrs. Holcomb fell
ON her leg in such a manner that
severe fracture resulted. Her husband
rode at once for medical assistance for
the stricken woman. who suffered for
hours before relief came.

While the state board of assess
ment is given exclusive power of as
sessment of railway property, the as
sessment on the White River Valley
railway, the extension of the Mil
9aukee west from Chamberlain, was
only made on portion Of the track
age, as 1t was not complete the first
of May. But the Stanley county
commissioners evidently believe that
the company should pay taxes on the
value of the material which they
placed in the county up to the first OF
May, and at their late meeting fixed
| the assessment OF that line at $780,
900. 1t is very likely that the county
will find itself facing suit in any
attempt tc collect taxes on this as
sessment.
