FIRE STEWARD THROVE.
Steward Boswell Thrown
Prom Wagon While Re-
sponding to Aiarm.
Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock a
defective flue ignited the roof of a
negro cabin down on East Lee
Avenue occupied by Bettie Jacobs
and owned by Judge Dennis on the
river. An alarm was turned in at
once but a bucket brigade quickly
formed by neighbors soon succeeded
in smothering the flames. . The
loss was insignificant.
Damage of a more serious nature
resulted from the fire, however.
When the alarm was turned in, no

- Oswald Wilson, special agent
United States agricultural depart-

ing program here for the coming
Fanners’ Institute which is to be
held in this city Monday and Tues-
day, October 13th and 14th. As
can be readily seen at a glance,
each speaker has a reputation as
an expert along the line he is to
speak, and much good will be im-
parted by what they each will have
to say: f

City l ax Rolls Approved.
Tuesday afternoon the city
board of equalization, composed of
J. W. Dickey, chairman, John
Beckner and W. 7. Morton, ap-
proved the city tax rolls for this
year the compilation of which City
Assessor Stokes completed last
week.
The falling off in valuations as
compared with last year is very
marked, however, it is not as great
as was first thought as the exact
amount is $219,040; the total valu-
ation this year is $2,358,335. Last
year's was $2,577,375. Thja^reat P,UUKCU luIWiUU- uul

drivers seat and gone, alone, be-
fore men across the street could
reach the station. The bracing
Ihorning air seemed as an elixir to
the horses belonging to the com-
pany and they added to their al-
ready swift rate of speed. It was
a terrific pace" they were going
when East Columbia was reached,
but a turn east was made without
accident. The next turn at College'
Avenue was not so successful,
though, for on account of the filled
condition of the street at this point
caused by the supply 6f material
for the new Catholic church being
piled there, a short turn was made
necessary and in executing this
two wheels of the wagon were
suddenly thrown high in the air
and with such force that Mr.
Boswell was violently thrown to
the ground. The horses now free
plunged madly forward, but at the

different, causes, partially to the
fact that the Franco-Texan Land
Co. were large personal tax payers
on last year’s rolls and as this
corporation went out of existence
Dec. 1st of last year, the $137,000
which had been assessed against
them in years previous was very
materially missed in this year’s
total. The Planter’s Oil Co. had
in the city on January 1st, 1901,
nearly $14,000 worth of cattle
while this year they had none on
that date.
The real estate valuations this
year are $1,228,690; last year they
were $1,232,135, which is a de-
crease this year of $3,445. The
total miscellaneous valuations
which include bank stocks, notes,
etc., this year is $563,685 against
$639,635. The decrease in this
item is $75,950. Last year’s mer-
chandise assessment was $382,410;
this year, $410,220; an increase of
$27,810. The decrease fn machinery
and manufacturing tools amounted
to $27,465; on cattle, $15,185.
The city will get the total of
$21,876.02 in taxes from these
assessments divided as follows:
Ad valorem, $5,896.93; poll, $644;
school, $5,898.81; permanent im-
provement bond, $5,898.43, and
road and bridge, $3,537.85.

tact with the large oak tree next
to the College campus, smashing
the right hind wheel and the right
side of the wagon and making
their capture easy.
Mr. Boswell was picked up im-
mediately after his fall and was
carried to the fire station where a
surgeon at once attended him.
Very fortunately no bones were
broken and the only injuries sus-
tained were several bruises and a
severe shaking up.

Last night at about 7:40 o’clock
W. B. Slack died at the temporary
residence of his family ou South
Alamo street,, from the effects of a
cancer on his jaw from which he
had been suffering for several
months.
Mr. Slack was a native of Illi-
nois where he was born 43 years
ago last March. In 1882 he first
came to Weatherford, working as
telegraph operator for the T. & P.
After a time he left, but in 1887 re-
turned as agent for the Santa Fe.
In 1888 he was married in this
city to Miss Maggie E. Porter, sis-
ter of Boyd and B. F. Porter. On
leaving this place again, he went
to Galveston, but in 1895 returned
and was again local agent for a
term of three years for the Santa
Fe. He was promoted from this
place to Sherman and had filled
several other important agencies
for the Santa Fe since then. He
was in continuous service with this
road for a period of sixteen years
and during that time was agent at
Dallas, Honey Grove, San Angelo
and Belton, besides the places pre-
viously mentioned. He was an
upright and consistent member of
the Presbyterian church and was
rii^n liked and admired by all
associates and friends.
The funeral occurred from
First Presbyterian church cm!
Main at 3:30 o’clock this
noon under the auspices of the lo-
cal K. of P. lodge of which frater-
nity he was a member- Rev.
Henry Austin preached the funeral
sermon. The City Cemetery was
the scene of interment.
