MINNEAPOLIS, October 3o-An attempt
was made last night to burn the Canadian
Pacific bridge at Headingly. The Mani
toba bridge was also saturated with oil
and considerably damaged. The fire is
supposed to be the work of settlers who
side with the government in the trouble
with the Canadian Pacific. The Manitoba
legislature meets Thursday and the in
tention is to adopt retaliatory measures
against the Canadian Pacific, which will
probably include the removal of exemp-
tion from taxation, which amounts to
