His Information
 Was Hardly Correct
Horse Did Not Manifest That Sang Froid in Presence of Auto Which
 His Master Expected.

As Mrs. l.. B. Johnson mounted to the seat of her automobile yesterday on Main street and made preparations to get under way, she saw a horse and buggy tied to a post near her machine, ana wishing to avert any possible dis turbance asked of the horses owner standing on the sidewalk: "DI you think your horse will scare when my machine starts?"
 oh, no indeed. madam he replied. mot hit in the world Just go right ahead. That horse won't be any more afraid of it than l am" or words to that effect. So Mrs. Johnson started the automobile. The horse gave one apprehensive look at il, rose on his hind legs and demolished the single tree. He subsided to earth. Rising again he broke the shafts. Rising a third time his harness showed signs Of giving way. and leaving him all in the clear. But about that time he was seized and held down to the ground. In the meantime Mrs. Johnson had cut off her power and stood by to help in any possible way. Her assistance was not needed. for the owner of the horse. his confidence severely shaken. took the animal away from that immediate vicinity as soon as possible.

Council In Session
 Orders More Walks
Accepts Tax Collectors Report ans
 Transacts Other Business.

The members of the city council. with the exception of s. N. Lukin. who is on the sick list. met in spe- cial session Friday evening to com plete the unfinished business of the regular meeting of week ago.
 The report of the. tax collector was first given attention. It showed that the total amount of taxes collected amounted to $3.405.76. There still re- mains on the books to be collected s276. Of this amount s215 is due from the NJ. & P. railroad company. It seems that there is an error claimed by the railroad in the matter of the assessment, and this will probably be adjusted to the satisfaction of the city and the company in a short time. It will be seen. therefore. that the re- mainder of the uncollected tax is very small It . is divided among a very few people. and rather than take the trouble and add the expense of de- claring this amount delinquent, the council decided to hold it over until the next meeting, in the hope that it will be cleared up by that time. If it is not paid then. however. the coun- cil will proceed according to law.
 In the matter of cement crOss- walks. the council more than spread itself Walks were ordered between the De Wore residence and Olive hotel. across the alley on the south side of East Seventh street and across the street between the city park and the Brechan residence.
 The council instructed the marshal to place all further orders for twelve inch tiling with Woolf X Myers. in stead of buying from California The local firm made bid that looked good to the council for this material
 There was some further talk on the subject of 6 municipal lighting plant and the matter will be given further consideration within a day or two.

Such is the power of the line. Just a line-from chin to toe. or nape to heel that's all But it rings the merry marriage bell.

NORMAL WINS FROM EVANS

Yesterday was a great baseball day in Tempe The morning was devoted to the contest on the Normal grounds between the Evans school team and the Normal, resulting in a score of ? to l in favor of the home team, and at the end of a ten-inning game. In the afternoon the High School team from Mesa and the local High School team tried conslusions on the High School grounds, the game terminating in favor of the Mesa team by a score of ' to l.
 The morning game was not one of the league series for The Republican cup. though it was the third game played between the two teams this winter The Normal now has the best of it by one game. All three games were close and well played. but of the three yesterday mornings was by far the best. It was good bit of ball from the first to the last.
 In the second inning the Normal got in one run, but it was not until the first of the eighth that another score was made on either side. Beals, for the Evans school. then made a home run. tieing the score. and it stood that way at the end of the ninth, making necessary another in ming to break the tie. Mullen, for the Normal. landed the necessary run in the last half of the tenth. winning the game for the Normal.

THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME.

The afternoon game was fatal one to Tempe The Mesa team took the long end of the score. Regarded from a strictly baseball standpoint. it was the poorer of the two games, but there was a much larger attendance and more roofing than has been seen at a Tempe ball game in many moons. The Mesa team brought with it three automobiles filled to twice their seat ing capacity and dozens of rigs. The crowd was a monster one and though there was fierce rivalry. it was of a good -natured sort.
 The Mesa team had the best of the argument from the start and ran up a total of seven tallies before the last inning The best the Normal could do was one.
 The home team had good oppor- tunity to get in couple of runs in the second inning. but that oppor- tunity. once lost by slow headwork, did not present itself again. In the third Mesa gathered home two runs and in the sixth three more. The ninth brought in the last two.
 The game was completed too late in the afternoon to get in the score of runs. hits and errors or the sum mary.

Tragedy of "OthellO"

"Othello." probably the most tragic of Shakespeare's many tragedies. was presented to we'll filled house at the Goodwin opera house Friday evening by the Sanford Dodge company. The play was exceptionally we'll presented
 and lost none of it's thrilling interest by the Dodge interpretation. There were many present who had seen the
 same play produced by Mir. Hanford, and it was the general opinion of such that Mir. Dodge was entitled to a very favorable comparison with Mir. Hanford in the title part. AS "Othel- lo,' Mir. Dodge was even more at
 home than in the part of Nero" the gladiator, in the play of that name given the night before. As the Moor of Venice. MT. Dodge was very ca

 be expected.

 role.
 ' Desdemona was ably taken by Miss Adele Nickerson. though the role of the empress. which she played the night before. was possibly a better
 character for her style of acting The other members of the cast were
 without exception capable and well
 selected for their parts. "Othello" is 1 a play offering many lessons and
 each of these was cleverly ands em-
 phatically brought out by Mir. Dodge and his company Friday evening.

TIRED OF DRIVING.

W. P. Smith bought span of about as | big mules as have been seen in this neighborhood for long time yes- terday from Henry Zachary and H. J. Zachary. In fact he bought com plete outfit, including harness and a big wagon. With these two mules. the harness and the wagon. the Zach ary brothers had just finished a little drive of 1900 miles from some place down in Texas. They arrived here late Friday evening on their way through to California.

STRAINED MUSCLE.

Ernie Williams went over to the game in Tempe yesterday caressing tenderly his good right whip which has been giving him a good deal of trouble ever since the opening game of the season. On that occasion he strained tendon or small muscle near hise shoulder. and has never been able to keep out of the box long enough since to allow it to heal. Dur ing the most of the weeks which have elapsed since then he has been unable to pump water for the horses or chop wood for the kitchen stove without a great deal of pain, and before each game he has begun his warming up by means Of little underhand losses. Gradually he gets limbered up enough to start the overland throws. and when he goes into a game-but that is a matter of history.

HUNTING WAS SPOILED.

L. B. Johnson and his sons, Denver and Angus Johnson. and Walter Hill. returned Friday evening from a three days hunting trip to Blue Point. They were none too successful. MT.

However that may be. Mir. Johnson said that the shooting at Blue Point is very poor now for the reason that a considerable flow of water has been released into the river from the reservoir and has flooded the feeding grounds of the acres of ducks which covered the. marshes and pools be- fore
