FINAL STEP IN
RAILROAD TAX CASES.
Consent Decrees Entered Mak
ing Compromise in Tax Suits
Against Railroads.
Little Rock, April4.-The final
step in the settlement of the
railroad tax suits was taken yes
terday when the consent decrees
made on the basis of the com
promise assessment made by the
board a week ago were entered.
The decrees in the cases of the
Iron Mountain, Little Rock & Ft.
Smith and Hot Springs & West
ern were entered in the Pulaski
chancery court and those of the
Choctaw, Frisco, Cotton Belt and
Kansas City Southern were en
tered in the United States circuit
court.
With-the filing of these decrees
the last obstacle to the settlement
of the suits on the compromise
basis is removed, and the secre
tary of state will certify out the
assessments as they are provided
in the compromise. Any further
steps that may be taken by At
torney General Rogers will not
prevent the collection of the
l __ I_ i.L «
taxes agrecu upon vy me x«,xx
roads and the board of assess
ment. The state will receive
about $350,000 in addition to
what has already been paid on
the basis of the assessment of
1902.
Attorney General Rogers has
not yet announced what action
he will take in the matter. He
announced Saturday when the
decision of Judge Trieber-and
Chancellor Hart was handed
down that he would probably
take an appeal, but helias-g'K'en
no further indication of his plans.
He will have six months in w^hich
to perfect his appeal if he decides
upon that course.
In the decrees entered yes
terday the secretary of state is
perpetually enjoined from certi
fying out the assessments made
in 1903 and 1904, and is directed
to certify out the assessments as
made by the board March 29,
19°5. ____

When he was half wray across
the fast train came around a

Instead of jumping into the shal

toward the engine with hands
raised as if to ward off the blow,
falling face downward an instant
before the engine struck him and
ground him to pieces.
