Me un THE WEATHER Unsettled THIRTY-NINTH YEAR INTH YEAR ~ LAST EDITION THE BISMARCK PRIBUN | Racal BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. ‘THUR: DAY, ‘DECEMBER. 30, 1920 BOY SLIDING DOWN CITY HILL COLLIDES WITH HEAVY TRUCK; LEG BROKEN; TWO JUST ESCAPE Dale Brown’s Leg Broken in Two Places Above the Knee in Accident CHILDREN ON SLEDS Three in Row—First and Third Miss Truck, Second Hit- ting It Dale Brown, ruddy-faced cight-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Brown, 813 Third street, lies in St. Alexius hospital today with his left leg broken in two places as a result of a collision with a motor truck at Avenue A and Second street late yesterday after- noon. Two companions of Dale who, with him, were sliding down a hill on their sleds, escaped injury while Dale’s sled struck or was struck by the wheel of a heavy freight truck of the Wachter Transfer company. Immediately after the accident the driver, Boyd Webster, and John Ebli, who was ean the truck with him, pick- ed up the injured boy and took him to the Brown home. From there he was taken to the office of Roan and Strauss and thence to the hospital, after being given attention. Two Narrowly Escape Claude Corlander, 7, one of the trio who were sliding down the hill, es- caped injury by the narrowest kind of a margin. He shot across the street ahead of the truck. Driver Webster couldn't see the boy, as he passed in front, the boy being so close to the front of the truck, and when Webster got off the truck he feared the boy had been crushed under its wheels. But Claude slid on across the street, being halted by the curbing. Last night many compamons of lit- tle Dale gathered at the Brown home, excited over the ident and hoping that their little friend would quickly recover. Accounts of the accident differ in some points. Claude Cor- lander manfully told the story of the accident as he knew about it. Boy’s Story Three boys started down the ‘hill ou Secoud street, on the north sidewalk. Claude Corlander was on the first sled. He said that Dale Brown was follow- ing him “about as far as from here to the wall,” indicating a disiance of about six feet. Vernal Anderson, 7, was on the third sled, a little farther behind. Claude said he didn’t see the truck coming down the bill on Avenuc A until his sled was at the curb, He could not swerve out of its path. He just held on while the sled shot across the street in front of the truck. Dale, following, either hit one wheel of the truck or was hil by the wheel. The driver had seen the first boy he dashed into the street and had slam- med on the brakes. The sled of Dale’s was broken, and he was knocked sev- eral feet. A broken place on the rear of the sled indicated that the wheel ot the truck struck the sled and pass- ed over the boy’s left leg, his mother said. Co ous When Picked Up Vernal Anderson, on the third sled, shot across the street behind the truck. Dale was conscious when picked up, though suffering pain. Alter ‘an’ exantination, pl said that his leg was fractured in two places between the knee and the hip. not injured otherwise but was shocked. The fracture was se- vere, but the leg was not mashed, it is said. The three little boys, all school- riates at St. Mary's school and play- masters, were playing with several other children, all of whom were at the top of the second street hill. When they saw the dient they rushed down the hill. Wall Hindered Sight At Wachters it was said that Boyd Webster w: ery and was going speed. At the corner Avenue A and Second street there is a high re- teining wall around the corner house. occupied by William Langer. Web- ster was looking into the strect and saw that it was clear, but could not see the boys coming down the side- walk because of the retaining wall. The sled came out at high rate of speed. The moment Webster saw the sled he put on the brakes, trying to avoid the accident. The fact that he did put on the brakes so promptly may have saved the life of the boy on the first sled. Several near accidents have been reported this week, with children out of school on vacation, and sliding down many of the eity hills.

Is RAILROADS WIN OVER STATE ON TAX VALUATION Judge Woodrough Sitting in Dis- trict Court at Fargo De- cides Case TATE PART INS A Railroads Are Relieved of Pay- ; ing Abut Three-fifths of Contested Amount argo, N. D., . . operating in North Dako from liabili tor approximately $1,- 300,000 of tax levied in 1917 and 118, in a decision handed down by Judge J. W. Woodrough, of the United s district court. Judge Woodrough holds that a cer- tain increase of 15 per cent. in the ssment made by the state board lof equalization was illegel and unjus | tified and relieves the ra ads of | bility on the said illegal assesment ; The petition on behalf of the car- lriers was filed by the Great Northern railroad against state und county of- jficers charged with the collection of the taxes. A valuation of about $70,- 000,000 in 1917 is pared to about $61,- 000,000 by Ju Woodrough's ruling. 10 Per Ce In 1918 a 106% i se was ordered against the is held to be in proportion to other increases. but it is pointed out that this orde: based thé incre: on the 1917 valua- j tion, part of which was alleged to be iNegal. The court directs that the 1418 valuation shall be increased 10 per cent. over the 1917 valuation, af- ter the illegal incre: is deducted. Thus the 1% ment thus will be 10 per cent. over $61,000,000, or will be about $66,000,000 instead of 10 per ceut on $71,000,000 which would be , $77,000,000. Boost Pidwt Pay Part Tle railroads paid about 75 per cent. of the ta for 1917 and 1918 and the unpaid part of the taxes was $2,169,- 191. By Judge Woodrough’s decision the railroads are relieved of all but slight- ly more than $800,000 of the unpaid Judge Woodrough holds that had the aluation basis fixed by the tax com- mission been accepted by the board of equalization there would have been no eduction. In round figures the railroads are relieved of paying three-fifths of the increased taxes made by the board of equalization’s increased assessment.
