SPIRITED RUNAWAY WITH
FAVORABLE OUTCOME

Mesdames Mike McCarty and
Frank Willard and baby about a
year old, were out driving Sunday
evening about o'clock with DR..
A. L. Ridgman's family horse who
became frightened, ran away, start
ing about opposite D. ]. Arpin's
residence on First Street North and
the horse got under such Roadway
that they were unable to manage
him and when they reached
point about opposite F. l.. Steib's
drug store the front wheel struck
the curbing and threw the occupants
out of the carriage. The ladies were
badly bruised but fortunate in not
having any limbs broken, or other
serious injuries. The baby came out
of the accident without any injuries.
The horse continued on down the
street with the balance of the car
riage and distributed it all along
the way down to the stone pile
near the Wood County National
Bank corner. Those who witnessed
the runaway thought surely that
somebody would be killed as the
horse was going very rapidly. They
say that everything is we'll that
ends we'll. The ladies don't appear
to know just what started the horse
or whether he was frightened at any
thing, but he was travelling at a
very rapid speed and they couldn't
stop him and when making the turn
at the First National Bank corner
is where they struck hte curb and
the trouble all happened. Outside
of the loss of the buggy the out
come was very favorable.

BOARD OF REVIEW
IN SESSION

The members of the Board of Review
are in session in the City Hall on the
west side and are inviting property
owners to come before them in refers
enCe to the value of their property.
Their mission is to examine the asses
sors valuations Of property and if
they believe his aSSeSSeSSmentS is too
low, or too high. in certain cases,
then they are to either lower or
raise the valuation as their COM
bined judgement dictates. This
is hard task and when through
with the assessments there will prob
ably be just as much satisfaction as
if they had not attempted to equalize
it. We are all more or less sell
fish in placing values upon our own
property, That is also true when we
want to sell our property. 1t is per-
fectly natural when we want all you
can get for any property that you
have for sale, and the selling of it
often depends upon how badly the
other party wants it. We would ad-
wise all property owners to call upon
the Board of Review while in session

men had SIX streams of water playing
on the ire with a pressure Of 125
pounds. and before the city depart
ment arrived, WHO were delayed by
what seems unnecessary formalities,
the fire was completely under control.
La fact. all the fire that remained was
small blaze in the roof when two of
our own men were stationed with a
line Of hose.
Not to be partial to honorS and to
give the city tiremen due credit we
might say that after considerable eff
fort they managed to gain an en-

foot ladder and an open window and
herolcally directed stream upon
pile Of alum, an aikali which will not
burn anyway, until the superinten-
dent ordered one of his men to shut
off the water SO as not to further
damage the alum.
The employees feel that it is an in-
justice to them to divide the Donors
SO unequally with the city department.
Blron is a paper mill settlement and
the men have to depend on the mill
for their bread and butter so it is pre-
pOsterOus to assume that they did not

livelihood.

COMPRESS QUESTION SETTLED.

Little Rock, April 1.-Accord- ing to advices received from the general freight offices of the Iron Mountain at St. Louis that road has surrendered in the fight being waged with the cotton shippers in Arkansas concerning the railroads right to select the compress to which cotton in transit is to be delivered. Notices have been sent to all Iron MOun~ tain agents in the interior of the state to advise shippers shat hereafter they will be permitted to select the compress at which they desire their cotton to be handled instructions to this ef- fest to be shown in the bills of lading at the time of issuance. The railroad still reserves the right to deliver the cotton to any compress should no particular cotton compress be specified in the bills of lading.
 The controversy between the Iron Mountain and the cotton dealers of Arkansas has been in progress for the past several seasons. It has been alleged that the Iron Mountain ignored bills of lading specifying the Cuff Cotton Compress Company as the recipient of shipments and sent the cotton to the St. Louis cotton Company, a concern heav- fly patrOnizlng the Iron Noun tain interests. Shippers have re- peatedly claimed that they were being ted against in this manner to the profit of the cotton compress company. The road has maintained that it had the right to deliver the cot ton shipments to the compress making the most favorable rates and that is best situated ito handle the cotton.
 The point yielded by the Iron Mountain is specified in the ruling of the Interstate Conn., merce Commission that where an intermediate. service is to be per formed the facilities being equal the shipper is entitled since the expense of the service is inciud- ed in the freight rate paid by him to designate the parties or companies to perform the service any special arrangements or ser vice, such as additional marking or patching as in cotton ship ments to be arranged with par ties or companies performing the service the compress tompany to be designated in the bill of Iading when issued. At various times during the controversy be tween the railroad and shippers the intervention of the Inter state Commerce Commission was threatened as a finah resort by the shippers.
 In addition to the general in- structiOns to agents of Arkansas points, c. H. Jackson assistant general freight agent for the ron Mountain, has transmitted his ruling to the St. Louis Cot ton Compress Company and the Guif Compress Company, both located at Little Rock.
