Driver Did Not Turn Out and Struck
Rig, Killing Horse.

J.
O. w. Miller living a mile east
OF the city on the Enterprise road,
came as near death Saturday night
as a man often does and live, all due
to bad driving Of an automobile BY
solomon man. Mr.. Miller came
home on the flyer from Kansas City
and was met at the station by Ed,
wilcox who drove Mr.. Miller's horse
and buggy. on the way home when
about thirty rods this side the farm
they saw car coming west with
only one lamp lighted and that not
working well. The good track is on
the south side and the car was IN
it; though the road is smooth all
across.
"The boy was driving" said Mr.
Miller, land he turned as far to the
right as he could, even getting the
buggy into some brush left from
the storm. But the car came on with
out turning and was headed directly
for us, We could not get farther to
the right and as the car gave a
swerve to our right also as a last
resort the boy tried to turn across
the road to escape it. f
Gust then the car driver seemed
to see us, though right on US, and
he turned to his right but struck the
hind leg Of our horse and the buggy
before we were out of the beaten
road, which is to the very edge Of the
south side. went crashing into the
glass front Of the car, the morse
was knocked down with its left leg
broken, the buggy smashed flat and
dragged for two rods. The two men
in the car, the driver being Ray Jen-
ness of Solomon, dragged the rem
nants of the buggy from under the
car, got in and left u.s."
Mr.. Miller was severely cut on the
face and ear and it is a miracle that
he is alive. He was able to get
home and physicians had hard time
stopping the blood flow. The horse
was killed.
Mr.. Miller went to Solomon Sunday
and saw Mr.. Jenness. He says tnat
an offer of 800 was made in settle
ment but it was refused as the horse
alone was worth 5000. Jenness said
his lights we're working bad and ne
did not see the buggy until he was
close on it.
AZ it turned out it was mighty
fortunate affair but if the reckless
driving continues there will be dea'n
n Il for somebody before the END
comes. A lawsuit will result from
this accident unless settlement is
made, ,a5,, .,- - .}asms|

Cost Cal Ashton $12 for Administer
ing Licking. +.

Solomon, Sept. 6.-The end OF the
scrap over girl came when Cal ASH
ton pleaded guilty to assault ana

over whom the men quarreled in the
discussion leading to the fight was
Miss Lillian Boyle. Lacey had just
acted as best man at the wedding
of, Miss Clara Maier, formerly OF
Abilene and w. o. Smith of Manhat-
tan. Lacey and the newly married
couple went to the Montezuma to
spend the night, and after being
shown to his room Lacey came down
stairs about midnight and went over
TO the Pacific house and brought
Ashton back to the Montezuma with
him. They had been sitting on the
hotel porch together for some time
before the trouble started. Both
wanted the Boyle girl and Ashton
SAYS Lacey offered to get out OF the
race for $3.50. Then there was
grief, bloodshed and riot in which
something like a gallon Of gore was
spilled. Lacey looked like down

cess. She was always kind and
good to all her people. They loved
her very much.
Every day great number of
poor and troubled people came to
her for aims and sympathy. She
was ever willing and ready to aid
them.
Because she was SO good the peo-
pie called her Golden Heart" They
had a beautiful silver crown made
for her. which she always wore.
In the summer time as soon as
the sun was out, she would ride
through the pleasant fields and
meadows. Her father often called
her Days Eye" because she rose
so early.
One morning, when she was out
riding. wicked robber spied the
silver crown. He seized the prin-
cess. She screamed loudly. Before
help arrived, however, he killed her.

GALBRA|TH'S
HORSE WAS
on THE JOB

In March, 1908, County Assessor
Galbraith charged up $219.25 over
time against the county and col
lected it for his men. In March,
1909, after the commissioners had
ordered all overtime cut off, he got
along without one penny overtime.
In the assessment season of 1908
Galbraith collected $3.50 per day
from the county for the use of his
private rig in assessing. For March.
1909, he has filed a bill of $60.50
for the use of his private convey
ance in assessing at rate of $2.75
per day, or 25 cents higher than
last year. This debt was contracted
without any order, of the county
commissioners, who, are prepared
to show that on March 1S, 10 and
20 Galbraith's horse stood tied to
the post at the south door of the
courthouse, where it remained all
day, except at the noon hour, when
someone drove it over to the city,
probably to save street car fare.
In addition to his own conveyance,
Assessor Galbraith has filed a bill
of 500 for another rig alleged to
have been used in assessing.
The commissioners have held up
the claims because they were not
presented in accordance to law,

MRS. TAFT Her OWN
3, SOCIAL SECRETARY

special 0orrsspondsncs to The Yrsss
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 5.--|
Mrs Taft has selected as her Sec
rotary Miss Alice Blech, an employe
of the Bureau of American Repub-
lies. Miss Blech is a distant rela-
tive of former President Roosevelt
and owed her original appointment
In the Bureau of American Repub-
lies to that influence. Her qualifi-
cations as secretary, howtver, are
} alone responsible for her selection
by Mrs. Taft.
The wife of the president has de-
cided not to have a social secretary.
The duties of Miss Blech will be
those ordinarily filled by a secre-
tary. She is an expert stenographer,
speaks and writes French and Ger
man and will have charge of Mrs.
Taft's correspondence. A desk has
been provided for her in the room
which Mrs. Taft uses for working
purposes and 1t will be here that
Miss Blech will spend most of her
time.
Mrs. Roosevelt, like previous
mistresses of the White House, felt
the need of social secretary, who
is supposed to be entirely familiar
with the code of social etiquette
which prevails in Washington. This
covers both official etiquet and the
unofficial customs, practices and
proprieties which have come to be
observed Her knowledge is sup
posed also to embrace personal
familiarity with polite Washington,
official and unofficial. She Is sup
posed to be able to discriminate be-
tween people who draw a large
amount of social waters and those
who can sail in the shadows. 1t is
part of her duty to protect the adj
ministration against social blunders
which might cause political and
social reaction. To the social sec
rotary has generally fallen the task
of arranging the dinner lists, deter
mining where guests shall be seat
ed, who shall take whom In to din
ner and other delicate matters OF
this character which may bring sat
isfaction or dissatisfaction.
Because of her long experience in
Washington, Mrs. Taft proposes to
take all these things upon herself.
Miss Blech will merely handle the
routine mail. make out formal In
vitations under instructions and
otherwise will carry out orders
which Mrs. Taft will give.
