BOY THROWN UNDER WAGON

Early this morning 7-year-old Jesse
Hcrnbeck, near the Banner school
building, climbed upon a wagon that
was loaded with lumber, using the
brake as lever to get onto the wag-
on. As the wagon was gong over a
defective crossing the fore wheel
struck the defective place and the lad
who sill had his foot on the brake,
was thrown underneath the vehicle,
The hind wheel passed over the boy,
inflicting a very painful and serious
scalp wound. Although the little fel-
low got UP and walked little dis
taHce, it was seen that he was dazed
and assistance was given him, Miss
Margaret Byrne, of the Banner

EXPENSIVE HAULING

1t is proposed to remove the cap
ltol building from Capitol Hill to Brit
ton, twenty-odd miles.
Those desiring the removal also ask
they be intrusted with $60O,00O, "as
starter
1t Is the first time in the history
Of government in the states of the
Union wherein the place to be bene'
fitted by reason Of location Of some
public institution asked a bonus Tor
receiving the same.
Ii looks like the capitol building
might be ox-wagoned down from here
to Brltton for less than $4,000 per
mile
That is rather an expensive haul
maybe the corporation commission
could give us a better rate than that;
at least we would lose nothing by q
trial.
There may be, no doubt are, many
cites in the state that would be glad
to- have the seat of government with
out the $500, 900 lust as a starter
fund. But, of course, were one to
suggest such a thing, those depleted
and broken down townlot vendors
would declare that they were being
sandered, and slandering men who
are only trying to battlewhang the
taxpayers out Of $4,O00,0OO is too aw-
full to contemplate.
But, allowing for bad weather and
having to- pontoon the river streets
when nearing the state metropolis,
it does look as if we might be able
to contract the hauling OF the seat
Of government those twenty-odd miles
