PANTAL0ON GOWN |s SENSATION IN
 NEW YORK
PRETTY WOMAN IN FREAK AT TIRE IS FORGED TO FLEE
 FROM CURIOUS CROWDS

NEW YORK, June 4.-Here's the very latest freak gown seen in New York:
 It is the "pantaloon gown and it has eliminated the sheath and directoire models in conversational way to a certainty. All those who follow fickle fashion s models are talking about the new model.
 Miss Gladys Alexander, the courage. ous show girl who donned the first "pantaloon gown seen here and ven- tured into Fifth avenue a few days ago, has decided not to repeat the ex- pertinent until the gowns are more ia miliar to the people of the streets. Be- ing followed by crowd numbering hundreds of persons, most of whom were making pertinent or impertinent re- marks, is somewhat embarrassing. She was forced to escape in cab.
 There are many who predict that the "pantaloon gown, which is merely an adaptation of the divided skirt idea, as applied to riding costumes, will be- come popular because it permits much more freedom in walking than conven- tional, clinging and cumbersome skirts.

Tuesday, when young Mexican woman named Luz Obregon went into semi conscious state, from which she did not recover for three days. The woman has been married, but her husband is not with her now. She is the mother of three children and lived in the Leadville canyon. Some time ago Syrian, whose home is given as Douglas, began to at tempt attentions toward the woman, which were strenuously denied. It is claimed by some that the worry of this feature of her existence and hard strug- gle to support her children weighed
 heavily upon her until finally she col lapsed. Dr. Sloane was called in and found the woman lying half unconscious and gasping continuously. Whether the

CLERK THINKS TAX RATE WILL BE
 HIGHER
LAST YEARS RATE WAS LOWER THAN NECEssARY-coUNTY
 NEARLY OUT OF CASH
MUST PROVIDE SINKING FUND
TERRITORIAL RATE HIGHER AND MANY OTHER REASONS FOR
 INCREASED TAX

The county tax rate for the coming fiscal year will be in the neighborhood of about $3.35 per $lOO, according to rough estimate made yesterday by J. W. Wentworth, clerk of the board of supervisors.
 The exact rate cannot be foretold until the board takes formal action in this matter, about the first of August The rate will be higher than that of last year, however, and it may run up to the rate of two years ago, $40.
 "There will be an advance in the tax rate over the present rate of $3 per $l00, for several reasons" said MT. Wentworth to the Silver Belt yester. day.
 "In the first place, last years rate was much too low and there will be very little if any surplus, at the end of the fiscal year.
 "Then the territorial tax rate has been increased about 12 cents, which will mean considerable additional ex- penditure.
 "Provsion must be made for sink ing fund for the courthouse bonds and the school bond issue of district No. l.
 "A rough figure placed the rate for the coming year at about $3.35. Wheth- CT or not it runs above or below this figure will depend to considerable ex- tent on the valuation of the property within the county, as fixed by the board of equalization.
 The assessment rolls will be turned over to the board July 21. The super visors will meet as a board of equaliza- ton July and. will fix the tax rate about month later.
 Funds in the county exchequer are at low ebb at the present time. A considerable amount of back taxes, which have been collected by County Treasurer Williamson have kept the county on paying basis for the past several weeks.

Owing to the scarcity of laborers, ii may be necessary to postpone portion of the improvements planned for the Gila Valley yards, until later in the season, according to statements made to the Silver Belt yesterday, by su perintendent Mallard.
