WINNIPEG, Oct. 21.-The local govern
ment recently granted local railroad COM
pany rights of way. The proposed route
crosses the line Of the Canadian Pacific six
miles west Of Winnipeg. The Canadian
Pacific Company disputed the rights to cross
their tracks and blocked the proposed in
tersection by side tracking locomotive at
the disputed point. They also secured an
Injunction restraining the new company
from prosecuting its work pending an ap-
peal TO the priyy council. Public feeling in
the matter Is very bitter against the Cana
dian Pacific, and yesterday some 400 citizens
proceeded to the disputed point with the in
teution iof forcing crossing. The
Canadian Pacific were notified and, by use Of
a special train, managed TO get two or three
hundred armed workmen to the scene pre-
pared to defend their property. The citi-
zens were overawedby this display Of force
and withdrew before any collision took
place. 1t Is feared another demonstr alton
against the Canadian Pacific will be made
tomorrow, and serious results may follow.
The Winnipeg magistrate threatens to call
out the troops.

lecule VINO has excited the horror and inter-
est of all Of his fellows BY destroying half a
dozen of them in peculiarly inhuman fash
ion. The widest ideas about him exist and
are encouraged. The comic side which the
murder-scare presents, as do most big things,
is supplied by the bloodhound element.
The attempt to- fSsr aogst esSt py ty
make up for detective dulness has been very
entertaining. The policemen charged with
handling the hounds were as much afraid Of
them as any murderer could be, and u Is not
surprising that the poor brutes should have
decided few days since to run away and
enjoy themselves, free from the prodding
truncheons Of timid c0nstables. While the
big bloodhounds and the policemen have
been practising and doing nothing, however,
a smallidog from Tilbury has been gaining
glory for himself and the little local reporter

chapel where the trunk of the murdered wo-

unearthed one Of the wOman's missing legs.
The police, very jealous OF this feat, sue

their bloodhounds into the dark cellar, bui

so he had to be dragged out again. a failure
