Rousier, deceased, respondent, VS.. the Min
neapolis st. Louis Railway company, ap-

SyHabus-In the operation of a freight train in
the night the train broke apart and the forward
part of the train being afterwards stopped was
run into by the detached rear cars, including the
caboose, and the conductor who was in the
caboose, was killed by the collision.
Evidence considered as showing that the i'm
mediate cause of the breaking apart OF the train
was the letting off of a brake on one of the rear
ears from the jar of the car in its motion, the
brake being so worn that it would not stay wound
up when the car was in motion. The fact that
sudden increase of the speed of the locomotive
may have contributed with the defective brake
to cause the train to break apart, does not pre-
vent the defective brake being deemed alegal
and proxinate cause of the result.
Considering further that the stopping of the
forward part of the train and the consequent col
ision and injury may be referred to the defective
brake as proximate cause within the principle
that O wrong doer is responsible for injuries
which might reasonably have been anticipated as
result of his misconduct.
The use by servant of defective and unsafe
machinery delivered to him for use by the master,
although the servant may have been guilty of
negligence in using it, does not release the mas
Ter from responsibility to a fellow servant in
iured thereby on account of the unsafe condi-
ton of the machinery furnished.
There is no legal presumption that it is the
duty of conductor of railway freight train to
inspect the cars and machinery of his train, or
hat he is chargeable with negligence for using
ansafe cars if the defect was such that it might
have been discovered by inspection.
The order denying new trial affirmed.

From, Errenaate to Bismarck.


F. P. Benjamin, the old stage man, has just
completed survey of stage route from Ellen
dale, the northern terminus of the Milwaukee
railroad, to Bismarck This is through Mcintosh,
Logan and Burleigh counties. This section il
very little known, and this extract from the in
formation Mr., Benjamin gave the jamestown
capital will be of interest to many:
The distance from Glendale to Bismarck by
the new route will be 1854 miles, through much
broken country. The coteaux extend about fifty
miles of this distance and consist of Irregular
hills and valleys, with fresh water and alkali
lakes. Some of the hills described as very
high. Most of the area is broken and unfit for
agriculture, but in some places there are valleys
of beautiful, level land, extending for miles,
where thousands Of acres of grain could be raised
The whole country is admirably adapted for
stock raising, the pasturage being excellent,wlth
an abundance of pure sweet water. The mead
ows are full of rich, tall grass, as high as man
head, which could be put up for winter at almost
no expense. MI. Benjamin thinks
it will be but short
time till there are thousands of cattle in that
country. The hills afford fine shelter for winter
protection, as do also the lunches OF timber in
the couees and surrounding the many lakes.
Two herds of buffalo, containing about dozen
animals each, were seen, but the party could nol
capture any as they had no proper weapons
There were also numerous antelope, but no deer
were seen.
''The effect of opening the present stage route
will be to cause the country TO be settled. Five
stations are to be established for stopping places
for meals, sleeping and relays of horses. These
stations will be visited by hunters and explorers,
and soon settlers will locate stock ranches and
farms at different points on the trail. AT present
there is one stretch of sixty miles in the hills
where no human inhabitants are to be seen. The
trip between Glendale and Bismarck will occupy
thrAa 1otr1 rrfl1 hn ms hn nv 81
week. The route is to be kept open both winter
and summer

A CUTTING BEE.
Barbara Reynolds Gets in Her Work
With a Razor.

There was q cutting bee out on Conway street,
on Dayton's bluff, yesterday forenoon, in which
the sweet scented and notorious Barbara Rey-
nods figured as chief master of ceremonies, and
her dusky lover, Henry Freeman, alias Williams,
got considerably the worst of it. In the same
shanty reside Barbara Reynolds, the coon freeman
and low white woman named Ellen Gilmore.
The motive for the deed was jealousy, and the
fragrant Barbara almost sent Freeman to the
land where bad darkies go, with her little razor.
1t appears that Barbara and Freeman had been
good friends up to short time ago, when the
latter took liking for Gilmore, and became too
fond Of her to suit Barbaras idea of friendship.
Yesterd ay morning they had all been drinking,
and on entering the shanty Bar
bara caught Freeman making love to Gilmore
This set her rich blood to boiling and she grabbed
a razor and slashed him mp pronscuously The
artery OF the left wrist was cut and he almost
bled to death before medical attendance was
summoned. Besides this he received an ugly
diagonal slash across the face. Officer Lynch
put them all under arrest and the patrol wagon
was called. They were brought to the city hall
by Lynch and Detective Ahern. where Freeman s
wounds were dressed by Drs. Aneker and Abbott

bequest she will be held to have confirmed the
devise, and to have relinguished her legal estate
testator owning real property in Wisconsin
and Minnesota died in the former state, that be-
ing his domicile as we'll as that of his widow.
The widow was insane. Administration was had
upon the will in Wisconsin, and also in this state
in respect to property here. An action was COM
menced in Wisconsin, in which all persons inter-
ested in the will have been made parties, for the
purpose of obtaining a judicial construction of
the will; and if it should be considered to pre-
sent case for election on the part of the widow,
as between certain requests made by the will in
her behalf and her legal rights in the property OF
the testator, that an election might be made in
her behalf In that action 1t was finally deter
mined that the will expressed the intention of
the testator that the bequest in favor of the
widow should be in lieu of her legal right in the
testator's property, and not in addition thereto
that it presented a case for an election; and the
court acting in behalf of its insane ward, elect
ed in her behalf to take under the will. Held,
that such determination as to the construction OF
the will was conclusive between the parties.
In the course of administration with respect to
the lands in this state our probate court made an
election in behalf OF the insane widow to take
against the will. The adjudication involving the
election was prior to the final election made in
Wisconsin But an appeal upon the questions OF
law and fact was taken from the judgment of the
pTODdl6 court W tue COuIb, WuiCn upPOui
had the effect, under the statute, to transfer the
case to the district court for trial de n000 Pend
ing this appeal, and before the new trial, final
judgment was rendered, and the election made
in Wisconsin, as before stated.
Held-First-The Wisconsin court had juris-
diction to make such an election, no previous
election having been made.
Second-The probate court of this state had
also authority to make the election-no other
election having been made as necessarily Incl
dent to its jurisdiction in the administration of
the estate here.
Third-Upon the appeal being taken from the
Judgment of the probate court, the cause became
us peRdens in the district court for trial de moro
and for the determination by the court of all the
issues involved, including that of election. The
election made by the probate court did not upon
such new trial conclude the parties nor control
the Judgment of the district court.
Fourth-The election finally made and declared
by the Wisconsin court was efTectual everywhere
as the election of the widow to take under the
will, and precluded different choice being made
in respect to land in this state
Judgment affirmed. DICKINSON, J.

Let the South Go fu1,enee.

A scheme has just been given publicity through
the Valley City Times that it is believed to be
matter Of general agreement among the politi-
clans Of the north, and is warmly supported by
Alex. Mckenzie and the Bismarck papers It is
for the members from the north to unite in sup.
porting resolution of this sort:
Res0Lved, That our representatives in the terri
torial legislature are hereby instructed to vote
and work for tine enactment Of law which shall
provide for the calling of a constitutional con
vention for South Dakota, and that said bill shall
authorize the appropriation Of territorial funds
sufficient to cover the expenses Of said constitu-
tiona convention"
Some Of them insist that the south should pay
its own expenses, but otherwise there will be
general acquiescence. 1t is perceived that it
would be useless to try TO keep the sections to-
gether, and it is becoming more difficult every
year for the north to manage the conventions
and legislatures. This plan supposes the settle
inert Of the capital question, the south will
then have no interest in the matter, and Bismarck
will be unyexed by doubts. Some, it is believed
will urge a constitutional convention for North
Dakota also, but strong Influences will oppose
this. A state would interrupt the use Of the
school lands by individuals.

THE RAILROADS.
Serious Passenger War.

The passenger rate war inaugurated by the
roads running east from Cleveland looks as
though it would result in general war from all
western points. The roads running east from
Chicago have commenced taking hand in the
fight. On Saturday last the Fort Wayne road
posted cards announcing rates to Buffalo at $13
first class and S11 IS second class. The Lake
Shore announced rate to Pttsburg of 81 first
class and $3.50 second class. No official notice
of reduction in rates to New York and other
seaboard points has yet been given, but it is un-
derstood that tickets are being sold to New York
by the scalpers for $11. The scalpers, of course,
could not do this unless they were furnished
with cheap tickets by the roads. II the trouble
is not brought to speedy end it is quite certain
that tickets will be sold from Chicago to New
York openly for $40 and less before the close of
the week. 1t is stated that the rate from Cleve-
land to New York is now S5. This will compel
the Chicago roads to make correspondingly low
rates, as otherwise passengers would buy local
tickets from here to Cleveland and at that point
take advantage of the low rate offered. Informa-
tion from Cleveland is to the effect that the war
on rates east from that point is over, and that
the rate went no lower than $3.50. That the
trouble is al over is very doubtful.

1t is not alleged that the members Of the Bicy-

in looks, but in this instance some of them seem
TO have caused alarm. as related by the Larimore

ssLast Sunday the Grand Forks Bicycle club,
consisting Of five members in full uniform. rode
into this city and went directly to the residence
of M A. w. Warren, who, Of course, was at

and refused them admitfance. she Yves sure they
were robbers, declared that Jim Corbet looked
ike robber on account Of his moustache. They
got inside Of the house and inquired where War
ren's cigars were. The girl thought this was q
pretext to get her out Of the way and rob the
house. They finally went out on the piazza and
she shut and fastened the door and made run
for Mr.. Brownies house, the worst scared female
in Iarimofe. Warren came home, but did not
observe the iron steeds which were resting against
