EIGHTH STREET AGAIN Two Occupants Dragged Some Dis tance Mrs. Scanlon Quite Bad ly Injured. Monday morning, Mrs. William Scanlon, of near Beaver Creek, drove to this city with her son to transact some business and to pay taxes, and met with a most serious accident at Eighth street crossing that might have resulted in the death of both Mrs. Scanlon and her son. As the rig with the occupants were nearing the crossing coming down the hill a freight was pulling out from the station and gained the road just ahead of the team. The flagman at the crossing had given them the signal, and the team became unmanagable and shied to the upper side of the hill road near the tracks, going over some large rocks and upsetting the buggy, throwing the occupants out and dragging them underneath the same for some distance. The flagman with the assistance of others soon secured the team that had become wedged be hind some ties and attention was turned to Mrs. Scanlon, who was car ried to the home of George Harding where Doctor H. S. Mount was called, examination disclosed the fact that Mrs. Scanlon had sustained a broken i, fractured ribs and received a se vere scalp wound. Medical attention was given her and she was soon able to return to her home. Her son es caped with a few scratches. The buggy was considerably de molished, and from the appearances of the vehicle it remains a wonder yi&t the ocupants escaped with as little Injury as was received. Great care should be taken driving down the Eighth street hill and com ing across the tracks, as it is al most impossible to properly locate the proximity of approaching trains and especially when driving fractious horses it would be much safer to leave the animals on the hill and walk to the Main street than to run the risk of suddenly coming upon a fast mov ing train at this croslng. Give Card of Thanks. Mrs. E. C. TruIIinger wishes to thank her many friends and acquaint ances, and also the Knights and Lad ies of Security for their kindness shown her during the Illness and death of her daughter, Adeline, and also for the beautiful floral offerings.

"The Cow-Puncher" is advertised at Shively's Opera House, Wednesday, March 25. Hal Reid, the author, has laid his plot in the picturesque state of Arizona. He has taken his heroine from the East and his hero from the West, brought them together on the vast plains that nature claims as her own and united them with a love as pure as the air they breathe and cir cles it with a band of gold. He has made his people natural and true to life. His Black Hank and Spokane Ike are .gems in character sketching. Tacoma Tim and Ann Slattery are full of genuine humor. Lutchia Cordova and Carlos Mendoza have all the sub tlety of the Mexican. Billy Lawton, the hero's brother is an example of a boy raised well, but weak. Tom Law ton's character is best expressed In the simple words, "A Man." Gerald- ine with her youth, sincerity and beau ty and womanliness, is just the girl you would want to marry. The other parts are convincing. With this ma terial Mr. Reid has made a great play. W. F. Mann has staged It In a most sumptuous manner, and several spec ialties are introduced to ad life and color to the drama.
