covered in this city by them was true.

that we have discovered many,
and we are making daily reports to
Commissioner Lochren at Washington"
Examiner Cntler further stated that
about 1900 fraudulent cases had been
discovered in this city, which were
worked up. it is alleged, by Frank
Rice, an eX-newspaper man of this city,
who had taken 200 bogus names
of persons entitled to pensions. made
out applications in which he had in
serted the bogus names, prepared the
applications for pensions in due form
and then sold the batch to Washington
attorneys. The attorneys worked their
wits generally in finding the alleged
applicants for pensions and failing,
in may cases, filed the claims with the
pension bureau and endeavored to in
duce the government to reimburse them
for the money they had paid out to
Rice. Rice, who it is alleged worked

Mort hern Pacific Loses q Com

SEATTLE, WASH, Dec. S-Important
points at law were decided by Judge
Hanford in the United States court
today in the case of Henry Cuima-
raeS against the Northern Pacific
Railroad company for $4,000 damages
for fright and shock sustained by his
wife and for the loss of 1915 cash and
valuables in train robbery at Hot
Springs Nov. Is, 1898. The judge
instructed the jury that the com
pany was not liable for the loss
OF more money than was necessary for
travelling expenses, or than prudent
man would carry with him when he
had other means of safely bestowing it.
He also ruled that while the railroad
company must care for the safety
of passengers it cannot be called on to
insure them against loss by robbery, nor
to carry force enough to repel robbers.
On these instructions the jury found for
the defendant.

CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upheld by Judge Brill i'm the Fogg
Restaurant Case.

Judge Brill has overruled the demur
rer to the amended complaint OF Ed
ward j. Williams against FL. G. Fogg.
This is an action for damages in refus-
ing to serve colored man with meal
at a restaurant. Judge Brill observes
that the law supports the proposition
that the regulation of the civil rights of
individuals is proper subject for the
exercise of the police power of a state,
and that laws similar 10 that which
forms the basis of this action, passed to
effect such regulation, have been al
most universally upheld.
The demurrer to similar complaint
of George Gooden against II. Il. Fogg
has also been overrnled by Judge Brill.

NO PERSONAL FEELING.
The editor OF the Union has no per-
sonal feeling in this matter. We have
no luminosity toward Auditor Biermann.
His politics were not taken into conSid
Grafton. Had w. w. Braden been state
auditor it would not have made the
slightest ditference-the investigation
world have been pushed just as persist
emily. The Union was the only Repub-
llcan newspaper in the state that Op-
posed o. p. Whitcomb the last time
ne was candidate. for state
auditor. We believed then that
MIR. WhitcOmb disposed of pine
right here in Mile Laos county. We
supported Capt. Mahlon Black. the
Democratic nominee for the position.
and a majority of the Republican voters
of Mile Laos county voted for Mr..
Black. During the session of the last
legislature and since, we have received
letters from al least dozen individuals
informing US of questionable tranSac-
lions rejecting upon Mr.. Biermann. No
attention was paid 10 those letters.
We deserve no credit for in
vestigating the sale of section
SO. township 42, range 26. The
matter was brought to our attention in
such way that We were forced to de-
mand an investigation. The investiga-
ton of that particular transaction will
save the state school fund between
eleven and twelve thousand dollars,
and, Indirectly, hundreds of thousands
of dollars. We have no quarrel with G.
A. Smith IL Co., OF with any other lum-
Der firm. Some Of the newspapers, and
some of the interested parties and their
attorneys. are trying TO make il appear
that politics is at the bottom of the
matter, and that it is Bob Dunn'S
fight. Such contemplate insinuations
are not worthy of mention. The state
of Minnesota, and not Bob Dunn, is the
Interested party. Politics we're never
mentioned III connection with this case,
save by the friends and ap0logiStS of
Auditor Biermann and G. A. Smith d
Co. We have simply done our duty in
pushing the investigation. and i'll doing
SO we have made bitter enemies out of
men that have always heretofore been
our friends, but we have no apologies
or excuses 10 offer. AS far as the writer
is concerned, the case is now closed.

FAILED TO RING THE BELL.
SUIT BASED ON THE NEGLIGENCE or

The Supreme Court, i'm Six Gases
Handed Down Yesterday,
Makes One Iteversal-Plaintff
Injured by an Engine-Bell
Not RuDg-PIaintif Given a
New Trial by the Decision.

The supreme court yesterday handed
down decisions IN six cases, all written
by Justice Vanderburgh, five of which
are affirmed and one reversed.
The reversed case IS that of Philip
Westaway ct al, co-partners as Porter
Bros. & Co., respondents, VS.. Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Rail-
way Company, appellant. The plaintiff
is granite d a new trial.
The case is one in which a servant of
the company, namely. an engineer,
backed train down over a crossing
that was used continually by plaintiff
teams and did not ring the bill. On the
occasion in question the plaintiff was
Injured, and apparently through no
fault of his own. The syllabus of the
case is as follows:
Bros d Co., respondents. vs. Chicago, st.
Panl, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Com
pany, appellant Order reversed.
VANDERBURGH, j.
Where railway company has recog-
niZed and acQuiesced in the use of a
private wagon crossing over it's tracks.
and adopted the usual signals therefor
Oh the approach of its trains, it cannot
lawfully discontinue the same without
notice. and negligent omission to give
them resulting in an accident will SUBJ
Ject the company to an action.
Plaintiffs team was struck and in
lured on such crossing by ore of
defendants engines. and the question
of the negligence of the defendant and
that OF the servant of plaintiff in
charge of plaintiffs team was by the
court submitted to the jury for its de-
termination. But for errors of the
court, particularly in refusing certain
instructions asked by the defendant
upon the question of contributory negli-
gence, new trial is granted.
The syllabi of the other decisions are
as follows:
X. G. Staples. appellant, vs. Edwards and
McCulioch Lumber Company, respondent.
Order affirmed. VANDERBURGH, j..
The plaintiff entered into an agree
ment with defendants to saw into lum-
Der at his mill logs furnished by them.
The lumber was to be handled AMI dis
posed of on joint account chiefly by the
defendants, who were large dealers in
lumber. The contract was silent as to
the prices at which the lumber deliv-
cred and disposed of at several different
lumber yards, owned in whole or in part
by them, should be accounted for,
whether at wholesale or retail. Held,
that 1t was competent to prove by patrol
what was the understanding Of the
parties as to the basis of their account
ing as adopted by them in the course of
the business. and as shown by their
conduct and acquiescence.
