A SERIOUS -
RUNAWAY

One of Linberg’s Teams
Bolted With a Load
of Coal

A team belonging to Fred A.
‘Lindberg, attached to a wagon
which was load g with coal at the
chutes on Second avenue about 11
o'clock this forenoon, took fright
and bolted down St. Paul street
scattering coal all the way. At the
corner of First avenue there was a
difference of opinion between the
horses as to which way they should
go and as a consequence ‘they com-
promised by piling into the lot at
the northwest corner.

This lot is about 12 feet below
gerade and is guarded by 4 railing.
The railing was smashed to atoms
and the horses landed in the lot
with the wagon and what was left
of its’ contents on top of them.
Strange to say neither of.the horses
was much hurt.

TEN CENTS PER SHARE.

Kirat and Last Assessment Levied by
tron Mask Company.

The Irou Mask company an-
nounces that an assessment of 10
cents per share has been levied on
the stock of the company ‘ts pro-
vide for the expenses of the litiga-
tion, now happily at an end, with
the Centre Star company. Under
the bylaws of the company 10 cents
was the limit of assessments for
stock, the shares being of the par
value of $1, of which go cents was
paid up at incorporation. When
this assessment is paid the stock
will therefore be non-assessable.

The mine will resume shipments
at once, the plan of development
having been fully carried out, As
the company will have no debts to
bother about, itshould in a. very
short time join the list of dividend
paying properties in this camp.
