OLD FIGHT RENEWED.
Ballard Council Again Stirs Up
Railroad Question.
LAKE SHORE ASKED TO MOVE.
Nearly All Great Northern Right-cf-
Way secured-Construction to
Monte Cristo Mines.

The dispute between the city council OF Bal
lard and the Lake Shore railroad in regard 10
the latter's right-ot-way on Shiishole avenue
has broken out again. Some weeks ago the
council sent a notice to the Great Northern re-
questing 1t to build q station-house, in accora'
ance with the terms upon which it was granted
q franchise. The Great Northern replied thas
Is the side track of the Seattle, Lake shore q
Eastern, which runs parallel with the Great
Northern along shilshoie avenue, was beio" us
grade and between its track and any place SUIT
able for station house, It could not oulld I'M
til the grade was raised or some arrangements
made by which 1t could reach the station when
built.
The council is now corresponding with the
Northern Pacfc to see what arrangements, II
any, can be made in regard to the matter. The
city of Ballard has never granted franchise to
the Lake Shore road, and membe of the city
council, during discussion of the subject. re-
marked that If the Lake Shore did not come to
some amicable arrangement the city could, II
necessary, remove the side track.
No orders, however, to remove the track have
been given, and no serious intention has yet
been entertained of doing So Negotiations are
simply pending, and the city council wants to
have the Great Northern build its depot and
make the best terms possible with the Northern
Pacific The Lake Shore and Great Northern
have joint use OF side track on the side OF the
street nearest the water front.

BATTLED FOR LIFE.
Robbers Find a Very Hard Nut to
Crack


SHAMoKTN, Pa, Jan. GA terrible
struggle took place this morning at
stock farm near this city at an
early hour hour. between John
Kepler, OF Shamokln, and = two
masked highwaymen, who attacked
him as he was returning from a party.
Kepler was left for dead and one of the
robbers was probably fatally wounded.
As kepler was passing one of the Wild
est parts of the region on his way home,
holding his hands to his ears to warm
them, TWO masked men suddenly ran at
him from behind pile of fence rails
and seized him suddenly around the
neck. H.
Kepler fell to the ground after kick
ing one OF his assailants violently in the
stomach, but succeeded in procuring
one of the fence rails, and then began a
desperate struggle. Kepler battered
the head of one of the men fearfully.,
knocking his jaws completely off, and
as he was finally forced to the ground
and oyerpowered, he in some manner
procured knife from the pockets of
of one Of the highwaymen and plunged
1t deep into the nearest mans side. he
was then struck on the head with
slung shot and, after blow after blow
had been rained upon him, Ire lost con-
sciousness. When he revived two hours
afterward, he hailed passing farmer
and was carried into the farm
house, where he lies in a
critical condition. 4 valuable gold
watch and Sl25 were taken from his
pockets by his wouid-be murderers. who
had not evidently supposed their victim
was alive. A posse is now following a
trail OF blood which led for miles into
the country, but they have not been
heard of since. and the results of their
search for the men is not known.
