 McComb City Wonders
 The citizens of McComb city are be- ginning to wonder why so many troops are being rushed here and some ap prehension is expressed that it is for the purpose of covering the arrest of a large number of strikers and others, and taking them to Jackson.
 The people here would resent be- ing taken out of McComb City for trial but it Is not imagined that Judge Niles will come here to hear contempt pro- ceedings.
 Rumors that as high as 100 and evon 200 arrests are to be made by the deputy United States marshals cannot be confirmed. Deputy Ligon went to Jackson at daylight this morning for the purpose, it is said, of getting ar rest warrants in contempt cases.
 Another explanation of the presence here of additional troops is seen in the Illinois Central company action today in beginning the construction of 10 foot fence around it's shop property here. The fence is being constructed of heavy boards with barbed wire at the top. As soon as it is completed, 1t is said. the company will send 500 or 500 strikebreakers to operate the shops having been assured by Gov ernor Noel that sufficient force of the Mississippi National Guard will be kept in camp here to guarantee the fullest protection to life and property. To Establish Permanent Camp
 Adjutant General Fridge admitted to- day that prepara tions are being made to establish permanent military camp here.
 What effect of importation of other strikebreakers will have upon the pop ulace remains to be seen, but a spe- cial agent of the railroad company eX- pressed the opinion that further trouble in such an event might be expected.

 The eomplainants in the injunction proceedings are the Houston and Texas railroad the Houston East and West Texas Railway company, the Texas and New Orleans Railroad company and the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railroad company.

 Houston, Tex, October 5.---With what Is probably the second fatality here in the Hartman strike staring them nthe face, city officials today prepared for rigorous measures to preserve the peace.
 Mayor Rice, who. remained at his office all night, ordered the police not to allow men to congregate on the corners or other places contiguous to railway property.
 President Fay of the Southern Pacific, who has just arrived from New York, an- nounced that he would personally assume direction of the company's end of the trouble. n. a
 Meanwhile; Frank Tullls; Hartman line guard, lies near death with his right arm and right side riddled with shot that the strikers say was fired by Tullis' fellow guard, but which the guards say came from beneath cars that faced the posi- ton occupied by the guards. The shoot ing occurred early today near the shops of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San An tonic railway, a Hartman line Three shots were said to have been fired.
 While investigating this fresh contro- yersy as to whether guards fired on their own companions while aiming at strik- CTS, the police are still at work on similar charges made by strikers that J. J. Pipes, the guard killed Tuesday morning, was shot by other guards. Both shootings oc- cured about the same hour shortly after midnight.
 A delay in delivery here last night of freight was admitted by company of ficials.
 A noticeable feature of the situation early today was the absence of switching operations in the yard. where many en- zines and crews are usually busy

finally caught, with part of the pie
still in his hand. When confront
ed with the charge and evidence, the
prisoner confessed his guilt. He
stated that he was a pie tiend. eat
ing pie morning, noon and night.
When he passed the grocery store
he had no money, but his craving
for pie was so overpowering, that he
stole one of the pies. He expressed
regret at having taken a pineapple
pie, which he did not like, instead
of mince pie of which he is ex-
cremely fond. The owner of the
grocery was willing to withdraw the
charge if the prisoner would eat the
rest OF the pie in the presence of the
court, but the magistrate would not
consent to such an arrangement and
held the prisoner in 5000 bail.

MANS INHUAi.ANITN.

Sheridan Post: y he SAD accident
near Manchester recently, when the
explosion of a boiler caused the
death of two men and the serious in
jury of another, afforded a striking
man.
In the present day and age it is
generally supposed that we are civ
lllzed, and as consequence have
compassion for the suffering of a
fellow being But now and then,
and the accident referred to is one
OF these occasions, men prove them
selves to be worse than the savages
that roamed the hills and scalped
and tortured their captives in days
OF yore. Worse because of the great
er advantages and higher teachings
of civilization.
The explosion had occurred. The
engine was wrecked and the bodies
OF the dead and injured we're lying
on the prairie. beside the track in the
snow. On the way car attached to
the train were four or five men. two
of them members of the crew and the
others passengers.
AS soon as they discovered what
had happened they took steps to re,
lieve the injured and care for the
dead. One lnan went back to flag
any trains that might be. following,
and to telegraph for medical assis-
lance. The others brought bedding
and carried the dead and injured to
shelter. One man took Off his own
coat, though it was bitter cold. and
wrapped it around one of the suffer-
ers.
They did their part.
Not far behind the wrecked train
came a special bearing high Burling-
ton officials, comfortable in their
palace Pullmans and surrounded by
every convenience. They reached
the scene of the accident, made a
cursory investigation, as they might
have examined piece of wrecked
machinery, and went back to their
splendidly appointed cars
Did they offer the accommodation
and comforts of their quarters to the
wounded, or did they suggest that
the bodies of the men who had died
in their service be brought into the
city in their car? They did not.
Two of the men had died; the
other, his face and body lacerated
and bleeding, was suffering the tor
lures of He'll. All were carried TO
the waycar, on which they were
transported to Sheridan. The wound
ed man was compelled to lie on a
narrow, hard bunk, and was bump
ed and jolted over sixteen miles be-
tween the scene of the accident and

have been taken TO the special and

STRAY TOPICS FROM
LITTLE OLD NEW YORK.

:. = :. : :. :. : :. :. = :. :. : :. :. :. :
New York, Jan. 21.--When the
tentative tax rolls were opened the
other day it was shown that the
new Tax Board of New York City
had zealously carried out Mayor
Gaynor's instructions to bring about
material increase in the real es-
tate valuation of the total assessed
valuation of real estate in the city
this year. The board increased the
valuation by ss97,O4S,6S3, bringing
the total assessed valuation in the
city to $7,941, 241,357. This is the
largest increase except one which the
taxpayers of the city ever experien-
ced. In 1903 Mayor Lows Tax Board
added 81, 100000 to the assess
ed valuation of real estate. This
means tentative tax levy this year
on approximately $9,500,0OO, 900,
including the tentative total of per-
sonal assessments of about $1,10O,-
100000 and about $3.50, 100000 in
franchise taxes. With the usual re-
actions before the final rolls are
made up this will give to the city an
added borrowing capacity of at least
$50, 100000. 1t also means a pro-
spective decrease in the tax rate of
three or four points. The increase is
not evenly distributed over the
whole city. 1t amounts to 7.3 per
centin Manhattan; to 22.2 in the
Bronx; 22.0 in BROOKLYN; a5.3 in
Queens and 1874 in Richmond. OPP
position to the large increase in val
uations has already been made. par
ticularly in Queens, where the in
crease has been greater than in any
other part OF the city and it seems
likely that the Tax Board will be
extremely busy hearing complaints
from property owners for some time
to come.
