The Presidents Carriage Narrowly
Escapes a Collision.

Washington, Dec. president
Roosevelt has had a close call while
driving. The prompt action of Lieu
tenant J. B. Lyons of the fire depart
ment, who was driving a heavy fire
hose cart, alone prevented a bad acct
dent.
The fire horses were travelling at
high speed when the driver, realizing
that he was about to dash into the
presidents carriage, jerked the
animals back and threw them on their
launches. Their hoofs. it is said, al
most struck the vehicle in front of
them as they fell.
The hose wagon was slightly dam
aged. The firemen were responding to

Wyandotte was short several thou

time last year, but not anything like
the sum of the deficit at this time.
The state auditor does not know yet
what he will do about this unpaid tax,
but will probably first try to find out
the reason for the shortage. However,
it is too large a sum to be covered by
any delinquent tax payments of per-
sonal taxpayers in Wyandotte county.
