Those Railroad Taxes.

The auditor-general's department
has been carrying on a campaign for
some time to collect back taxes from
the railroads of the state, and their
efforts are bearing fruit. Tuesday a
check for $26,5S7.31, for the taxes and
penalties for the years of '07 and '0S,
was received from the Manistee &
Grand Rapids railway. Two other
roads will be sold next month II they
do not come through with the taxes
assessed against them, and it is be-
lieved that the money will be forth
coming
The Manistique & Lake Superior
road, which. as the old Manistique,
Marquette & Northern, was purchased
by the Ann Arbor railroad several
months ago, has paid no taxes since
1903, and the amount now due the
state, including the penalties, is $685..
$1,000. The sale of this road is adj
vertised for Dec. s, and the Wiscon-
sin & Michigan line, which now owes
the state 76,690.9S, will be sold to
the highest bidder the next day.
The back taxes due the state from
different railroads and corporations is
estimated at nearly 100000, and a
strenuous effort will be made to col.
lect this at once.

NO RIGHT TO RUN
CARS INTO CITY
JUDGE KNAPPEN GIVES MICHIGAN
UNITED RAILWAYS A JOLT
AT KALAMAZOO.
PERMANENT INJUNCTION
Action Is a Big Victory for the City
Of Kalamazoo in Fight Of Several
Years standing-company Never
Acquired Right.

The Michigan United railways can
not operate interurban cars inside OF
the city of Kalamazoo. according TO a
decision of Judge Knappen in the cir
cult court at Kalamazoo Saturday af-
ternoon. The court not only denied
the motion Of the Michigan United
Railways Co. to quash a temporary
injunction granted several days ago,
forbidding the company to run the in
terurban cars into the city, but made
the injunction permanent.
The court contends in his opinion
that the company never acquired the
right, by franchise or otherwise, TO
run cars into Kalamazoo The COM
pany has been running these cars into
the city for 10 years, but 1t was be-
cause no objection was made until
now.
The decision is an extremely i'm
portant one to the city, as 1t means
the fight which has been waged
against the company will be forced
to meet its financial obligations with
the city and otherwise recognize rights
Of the city which II has heretofore
ignored.

CONFEDERATION
OF 5e5 MEN 1876 ESCAPE
After Four Trips Cars Cease Running,
Then Rescuers Go Down only to
Meet Death Themselves; Men Sealed
Up to Check the Flames.

1t is believed that nearly 400 lives
were lost in an explosion in a mine
Of the ST. Paul Coal Co. at Cherry
near Spring Valley, Ill.
There were sos men at work in the
mine when the explosion occurred.
About 1856 escaped.
The entrance Of the mine has been
boarded over in an attempt to check
the flames raging in the interior. This
has checked all hope of escape to
the surface by the imprisoned miners.
In the three veins of the mine, one
800 feet below the surface. the miners
are imprisoned and their only chance
for life is TO break back to the ends
or the veins, where enough air may
exist to preserve their lives until help
comes. The fans of the mine are
stopped, the wires all burned out and
the mouth impenetrably sealed to
smother the flames.
The first explosion occurred shortly
after o'clock. 1t communicated to
other sections of the mine and in less
than 10 minutes all hope OF escape
seemed shut off from the miners.
While smoke and even jets of flame
swept up through the entrance of the
mine the cage which carried the MI
ners TO their work continued to as
cend and descend. The first loads
brought up a score of miners, who es-
capped with no worse injuries than
burns or bruises received in the rush
for safety.
The last trip of the cage was made

The men were dead when the car
reached the surface. Those about the
pit mouth expressed the belief that
they were dead or dying when placed
in the cage. None survived to tell
the story of the trip.
Twelve bodies have been taken
from the mine. The bodies were
taken from the shaft while fire was
burning fiercely in the interior and
smoke pouring in dense volumes from
the mouth of the pit. They we're soon
put in cages and lifted TO the surface
by unknown heroes, who sacrificed
their lives in a vain effort to save
them.
