LITTLE JESUS
GARCIA is DEAD
Wounds Sustained Beneath
Train Too Much for Him.
Passes Away.

Little Jesus Garcia is dead. The body
of the 10 year old lad could not resist
the mangIing received in the train acct
dent in Juarez a fortnight ago. He died
as he has lived since the accident, I'M
complaining OF a great pain.
Following the accident, the many
school children of the Mexican city had
collected a huge amount of money, they
considered. with which to buy treat
ment and artificial limbs, if need be.
Little Jesus was a school boy, and the
little boys and little girls of the Mex
lean schools considered it their duty to
help. The boys father was very poor.
But the money is of no use now. 1t
was yesterday when the broken body
OF the child was placed in a grave in
the Juarez cemetery. A sorrowing
family watched the interment.
But after it was all over, a strange
thing occurred. Many little children,
all out Of breath. arrived at the grave.
They had come to the funeral but too
late. and that because their little legs
could not keep up the pace of the
horses.
Such was the tribute made by the
children at the death of a child. They
did not go too slowly, but the horses
went too rapidly. it may be said in the
name OF charity.

PENALTIES TO BE
ADDED TO TAXES
CITY Officials Plan a Change
In the Time of Tax
Paving.

Taxpayers who do not pay their taxes
today will have to pay the lO percent
penalty as city assessor Louis h. Behr
will commence collecting the 10 percent
penalty tomorrow
1t is hardly probable that an extern
sion of time will be granted as it has
in past years owing to the TACT that a
ma iority of the citizens VIII nave paid
their taxes UP TO the time OF assessing
the penalty
Mayor Sweeney said this morning:
Until we receive the report OF the city
assessor. which viii probably be two
weeks from now. we cannot say whether
an extension of time will be granted or
not. Ii that report shows that ma
iority of the property owners nave PAID
their taxes it would not be fair TO them
to grant an extension
I'VE know that II works a hardship
on many TO be compelled to pay their
county and city taxes at the same time,
and. therefore We viii make a strong
effort at the meeting of the next legls-
lature to have the time changed so that
CITY taxes will not become delinquent
until June or thereab0Its, giving prop
erty owners an interval OF SIX months
between the time of paying city and
county taxes.
In order that this NAV be done 1t Will
be necessary TO change the cit charter
so that the present administration VIII
hold over about three months and cleo
ton will be changed from April TO June
or july. whatever time the fiscal year
shall end.
