WINNIPEG, April 26.-Joseph Cotour,
while hunting in Labroque, near Boundary.
Mimi, few days ago, ran across little
shanty, in front of which was a human
foot. Entering, he found a man named
McKinnon lying on bundle of rags.
almost famished and nearly insane from

came frozen and modification began in one
foot. In desperation he cut it off with a
butcher knife and threw it outside. This
crippled him completely, and he lay in his
hut, dying Of starvation, thirst. and pain
until the chance appearance of the wander

Giving the wounded man something to
eat, Cotour set out at once to obtain assist

REAGAN'S NEW POSITION.
GOVERNOR ROGG TELLS HIM WHY THE
STATE NEEDS HIS SERVICES.

The Railroad Com mmission Has the Power to
Right the Wrongs of the People-A USE
less Body Unless 1t Fully Enforces the
Law.
AUSTIN, April 26-In the letter of Gov
ernor Hogg, appointing Hon. John Fl. Rea-
gan Chairman of the Texas Railroad Com
mission, he says:
Continuously for many years our agri-
culture and commercial interests have been
severely depressed, for which there are
three causes-frst, burdensome and unnec-
essary Federal taxes called tariff; second,
the country wants more money as 4 circu-
lating medium, and, third, oppressive local
freight rates.
"With the evils of the first two the Fed
eral Government alone can deal; the third
is within the executive control of the State
Government The time has come for it to
be handled. In former years you nave
constantly labored with other Democrats of
the House and as Senator in Congress to re-
duce the tariff to the lowest rate consistent
with economical administration of the Gov
ernment and to have free coinage of silver
for the people and relief. This work will
continue until just results shall have been
attained.
"You are needed now at home where YOU
can render active service to those who al
ways houored you and who would not fail
to 40 so at any time to the full extent of
your ambition. So tar as 1t were in their
power for years the people have been trying
to secure a commission law. They have one
now and it is possible for them to get relief
from the wrongs of railway management.
The law is useless and it will become farce
without wise and just enforcement Your
long advocacy of such measure and great
experience in public affairs, especially those
of material interest to commerce and agri-
culture, warrants me to hope that under the
impulse of patriotism, so often moving you
to subordinate personal ambition and pride
to the public good, you will now act on the
commission"

A PLAYFUL EDITOR.

He Gets Himself Nine Months Imprison-
ment for an Innocent Remark.
IBY DUNLAP's CABLE coMPANYi
BERLIN, April 2e.-Editor Boshardt, of
Gotha, who has already served several terms
in the penitentiary for expressing his liberal
views in print, has again been sentenced to
nine months Imprisonment for stating that
he could do the little governing required in
Bulgaria after business hours. This playful
remark the States Attorney was able to
persuade the Court involved the crime of
lese majeste against Prince Ferdinand,
who, as ne belongs to the Coburg- Gotha
family. must not be criticised.
Boshardt will appeal to the Reichs-
gericht, on the plea that Ferdinand is not
monarch recognized by the German EN-
pire. and therefore is not entitled to the
protection of German court of law.

Went Out Too Soon.
ESPECIAL TELEoRAM TO THE DIsP ATcH..
CHARLERoI. April 26. There is now no
doubt that the union carpenters belonging
to Monon City, who were working here, were
rather hasty In striking the first of the
week. They were followed by the painters,
who seemed also in hurry to rush the first

cause of the strike.
However, the contractors here are offering
50 so per day for good workmen, and say
they will have enough to continue work
right along. That good carpenters are
wanted here, however, is not denied.
