While the citizens were enjoying the
national holiday in this city on Thurs
day thvv were shocked at noon to hear
that a serious accident had happened to
the incoming stage on the mountain that
morning, about six miles above the toll
gate at Trask with serious results. Vari
ous reports gained currency, but it was
late in the day before the actual facts
were known. It then leaked out that in
coming down the mountain the stage
driver, Ernest Baker, had lieen thrown
out, and a few hundred yards further
down the road the stage went over the
grade with terrific force, throwing the
two passengers out and over the grade,
rendering one unconscious, while the
other had his arm broken. The driver,
who was somewhat cut about and cov
ered with mud and blood, secured one of
the horses and hastened to the toll gate
for assistance, and on his arrival there a
telephone message was sent to this city
asking for a doctor. Mr. C H. Smith,
proprietor of the toll road, was in the
city at the time,and with Dr. I. M Sim h
lost no time in getting started. The first
person to arrive at the scene of the acci
dent was Mr. John Mann, who went
from Trask. He found one of the passen
gers unconscious with his skull seriously
fractured and the other with his arm
broken. Finding that he could not get
the unconscious person up onto the road
alone he had to let him remain there, so
took the one with the broken arm to
the toll gate.
On the arrival of Mr.
Smith and the doctor they went imme
diately to the assistance of the unfortu
nate man who was left on the mountain
and conveyed him to the toll gate, but
whether hr gained consciousness from
the time of the accident will never be
known, tor he was dead when hr reached
the toll gate.
riierc was some anxiety in this city to
know who the passengers were, and it
was evening I h I oic this information was
given out. The |>erson who had his arm

on the other hand, the non-resident, who
buys a piece of land and makes no im

valuable, only pay taxes to a nominal
amount. By this system we throw the
burden of taxation upon the industrious,
enterprising citizen. As most of the tim

syndicates, and is now tied up until such

right that this land should bear a larger
