Nineteen Others Located Near

Scene of Recent Disaster.
DESPERATE. ATTEMPT

Dead Lying in Heaps Behind a
Mass of Debris, and Search

Opening Has Been Made,
WORK OF THE RED CROSS

Cherry, Ill, Nov. l6.-With tie re-
covery of one body, believed to be
that of Ole Frieberg, the location near
the ventilation shaft of nineteen
others that could not be rescued and
a determined attack on the fire
through the main pit, the work of
reaching the 800 bodies in the st.
Paul mine progressed rapidly today.
The afrshaft. following the daring
exploration chat resulted in the loca-
tion of twenty bodies, was closed, and
a full stream of water was directed
into it. Then the main shaft was at
tackled. The temperature of this shaft
has been higher than Ice degrees, but
continuous sprinkling today reduced it
TO 60

which the pit had been closed were
removed a cloud of steam rolled out,
but it was only a puff. Men in he'll

of the drift badly blocked by timbers
and mud, but the fact that their safety
lamps were not extinguished indicated
Attack on the Flames.
The next squad to descend went
without helmets and reported condi-
tons perfect for an attack on the
flames within the gallery. Great diff
ficulty was experienced in lowering
sufficient length of hose pipe-31S feet
Into the pit and il was almost mid
night before the effort was successful.
The great weight of the big tubes re-
peatedly broke from the tackle hook
and much time was lost.
Various crews made the descent.
Ths<s reported that there was little heat
AT tile mouth of the gallery, but search
for bodies would moi be practicable
until the blocked opening had been
cleared of debris. This promised to- be
tedious process. and it was predicted
that the work would require at least
eighteen hours.
Beyond these distinctions the dead
are believed TO lie in heaps, as they fell

Eight members of the Parish

til the Supreme Court shall have
passed upon the question as to
whether the State Board has the
power to remove an elective OIL
Ger. The petition for the writ of

way an elective officer can be re-
moved is by the judgment OF court
after hearing. The matter will
probably come up before Judge

Sues City For $500 For Kill
ing Dog.

As the result of the killing of q
valuable pointer hunting dog the
property of Mr.. Armand Dejean,
by city marshal Hayes last Sun
day, the suit will be instituted
through attorney John N. Ogden
against the city for $500 damages
$50 rs the value of the animal, and
the rest as exemplary damages.
The Dejean dog was q celebrs-
ted one, and was considered of the
best in this section. She had been
running at large without a muzze,
in violation of the city ordinance,
and Mr.. Dejean was notified that
unless he muzzled her or kept her
in she would be killed. He after
wards reported to the Marshall
that he had done everything he
could to keep her muzzled, or to
keep her within the enclosures,
but with avail.
Monday she got out and went on
the courthouse square, and Mar
shal Hayes shot and killed her.
Mr.. Ogden. the attorney for Mr..
Dejean in the suit against the city,
says that the muzzling ordinance
is not only repugnant, but contra
nv to law, aud there is statute
which forbids cruelty to animals.
He thinks the animal was killed
without sanction of law, as the
city has no right to adopt such a
law rs the one providing for the
muzzling of dogs. - st. Landry

Property in the District.

The taxable property in this dis
trict is SS,000,000 to $3.50, 00O;
s3,5O0,o00 of which is within the
corporate limits of WaXahicf.e, and
s4500000 in the country. If We
count the property owned IN the
country by those who live in WaXa-
hachie, the figures are just re-
versed; that is town property and
that owned by those who live in the
town is $4,500.000, and that owned
By those who live in the country is
S3,5OO,000. Therefore tho proper
ty within the corporation will pay
7 parts of the tax, and the property
in the country 8 parts. Or TIE peo-
pie who live in town, counting both
their town and country property,
will pay parts of the tax, and the
people who live in the country
parts.

AS we have seen a bond of $3.50
will be due at end Of each year. The
tax which will produce this amount
is called a sinking fund. Added to
this is interest on the bonds for one
year which will be $12, 500, making
a total of S1S,750 for first year. A
levy of 23c on the 500 rendition
of property as taken from the tax
assessors books which is between
100000 and $3.50 900 will pay
this amount, and that will be the
rate of taxation. 1t amounts TO
from &c to l0c on each acre of land,
Tor from zoe to sec per year for a
span of good mules Or to state it
in larger numbers it is $3.50 on
leach $1,000 of property as rendered
to the tax assessor. This tax gets
smaller each year Those in au-
thority say the tax viii decrease
from l-2 to 1c per 500 for each
year For second year the tax would
be about 22c, for third years between
.2lc and 22c, etc.

Costs of Roads Per Mile.

1t is said by those who built this
mile and a half of road that by rea-
son of their inexperience, unneces-
sary delays and because the gravel
had to be blasted this road cost
more per mile than would be nee
essary under more favorable circum-
stances Those in authority have
furnished us the following estimate
of cost per mile where gravel can be
hauled in wagons: For one mile
haul $l257; two mile haul, 1907;
three mile haul, 1887; four mile
haul $2207 five mile haul s2557.
Taking the three milo haul as an
average the bond issue would build
1926 miles of road. This is "a miles
more than the estimated number OF
miles for the district to which
/ could be safely edded from to
miles, the result of aceum ulations OF
interest on money before it is ex
pended. and we have about 80 miles
for cross roads such as east or wes'
from Red Oak. Ray or Forreston.

Who VIII Spend the Money.

If the proposition carries, when
the bonds are issued and sold, there
viii be $250,o00 to the credit of
this district for road purposes, all
OF which is ready for use. 1t will
be in the hands of our Commission
ers' court They have said over their
signatures what they intend to do.
1t is in substance that the work will
be done under their supervision, us
ing men of honor and integrity.
That they will use home labor, other
things being equal. That they will
use best and cheapest material, CIV
ing preference to our own gravel.
That there will be no waste, graf or
extravaganza.
That they will from time to time
furnish itemized statements showing
cost OF material, labor and other ex-
penses per mile. This speaks for
itself, and we believe they will do
what they say.
The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1909-07-23
Labor and Material.

According to the signed statement
of the missioners' court above
referred TO the labor will be secured
live along the road. built, and the
gravel and other material will be
bought from citizens who have it to
sell Large deposits OF the finest
gravel have been found along WaXa-
hachie creek between WaXahachie
and Ray, and the same on Chambers
creek about Forreston. Thus it VIII
be seen that the money derived from
sale of bonds will go directly to
those who pay the tax.

Roads i'm the Corporation.

The question whether any roads
would be graveled in the corpora
ton very naturally arose q. once.
There was some doubt in the mind
of the commissioners court about
the question, and they submitted the
matter to their attorney. His opin-
ion, in writing and now with the
court, YVES that such could be done.
So we feel safe In saying that when
the Boyce road, for instance, reach
es the corporate limits on the east,
it will be gravelec through the town
to meet the Midlothian road coming
in from the west, no more attention
being paid to corporate limits than
IL such did not exist. Thct is the
roads will pass through Waxahachle,
Just as they pass through R9y, How
ard or F'orreston. But it is well set
tied that no streets, as such VIII be
srayeied in Waxahachie, its port or
tie roads being limited to the coun-
try roads as they come in and go
out We will add that our best IN
formation is, that while Waxahachie
and the people who live there viii
nay over half of the tax, 1t will get
only about a tenth Of the roads

An APPEAL TO THE VOTERS
Statement Issued Showing How Good
Roads Would Benefit Every One.

BY the terms of the law passed
by the last legislature, any district
by two thirds vote of the qualified
property tax paying voters of that
district, can issue bonds to build
gravel or pike roads. The Midlo-
THAN, Red Oak, Maypearl and WaXa-
hachie districts have such elections
pending now These districts cor
respond to the justice precincts in
which these towns are situated, OK
cept the Waxahachie district has
left out the southern part of its JUS
tice precinct, which naturally lays
within the Italy precinct. The Wax
ahachie district is about II miles
each way, and 1t is proposed to Is
sue bonds to extent of s250,0oo
which amount was estimated by the
court would build 1902 miles of road.
that Is all the principal roads of
the district.
