VAGUE RUMORs ARE AFLoAT.

Gossips Still Concerned About the
Heads OF the Great Northerm
Officials gan, of the Great
Western, Declines to Take
Back Any of the Striking
Boilermakers.
AS is known, the Canadian Pacific
has made a schedule of low rates to
Eastern points, and it is interesting to
note how its competitors look at the
matter. A differential of $40 on first
and of SIS on second class rates was con-
ceded by the competing lines during
the existence of the transcontinental
association, from the fact that the Can
adam Pacific had to make longer haul.
Any just claim, so competing lines as
sert, to the differential practically
ceased on the lapse of the association.
but the Canadian line still claims it.
notwithstanding. AS the public knows.
the Southern Pacific refused to honor
Canadian Pacific tic ketS or to transfe
traffic to that line. 1t is thought that
the action of the Canadian line in lower
ing rates is in the measure of retaliatory
tactics, and that it cannot affect COM
petition materially. as the reduction, as
applied to all-rail traffic, is small. Such
traffic, under the reduction, is partly by
rail, and partly by ocean steamship
lines along the coast, and this. SO COM
peting lines consider, will, if anything,
decrease such classes of travel as but
few passengers will care to undergo the
diScomforts of winter travel, on the
ocean. and especially not since it is
claimed that travel is increased fully
five times by this plan. Competing
lines are disposed to view the matter as
a large-sized game of bluff on the
Canadian Pacific's part.

HAD BEEN ROBBED BEFORE.

Supposed Motive OF the Deed-Kiine's Only
Known Troubles.
Mrs Kline says the house has been
robbed on two occasions when they lived
in another locality of Brlghtwood. She
says on the first occasion she was
not ct home when the robbery occurred
but she was in the house or in the yard at
the time of the second one. The second
one was q year ago last April. and $50 was
stolen. The thief took the money out of
q handbag. An acquaintance of Kline's
says that the engineer came to
him after these robberies and told him
he was very much puzzled over them. Kline
was never known to have any quarrels. al
though he had had few words with some
man who worked at the Big Four shops.
These words grew out of the charge that
Kline had reported tho man for some neg
leot of duty. Kline also incurred the i'll will
of another man whom. IL Is said, he
reported to the knights of Honor for whip
ping his wife. This man. it Is claimed.
was one of the first to bring the account of
the murder to the central part of Bright.
wood. But little Importance is attached to
these instances in connection with the
bloody crime of yesterday.
Opinion Is very much divided in the
suburb as to the cause of the murderous
assault and the motive for IL. although the
most common belief is that robbery was
the purpose. Coroner Book was at the
house yesterday afternoon. It had been
reported to him that Kline was dead.
