Mr.. CHILDS INTERVIEWS.
Minnesota Attorney General Mixes III
in the tearsa I suit,

in the IeaFsa I suit,
ST. Paul. Nov. %. -Attorney General
Oh Ids has interviewed on behalf of the
state Ia the appeal Of the injunction
suit OF Thomas w. Pearsall against the
Great Northern Railway company.
This is the casa in VIII ch Mr.. PearSall,
a st ckhoIner in the Great Northern,
applied TO the United States court for
an injunction to prevent that company
from consolidating with the Northern
Pac fic. When the hearing came up
before Judge Sanborn, General ChiiuS
was given an opportunity 10 intervene
on behalf Of the state, but he dec ine0
to do 50. The case was decided by
JuCgB Sanb0rn ia favor Of the company.
General Childs then, on behalf Of the
state, began u action of Il similar ma
turc in the di2trict court, and a few
days ago Ju,.ge Kelly granted the ill.,
junction asked for, his decision being
directly contradictory Of that of JEdgo
Sanborn. Mr.. Pearsall has taken an
appeal from the decision of Judge San
born 10 the supreme court of the United
States, and by consent of all parties TO
the record, General Childs has been
allowed to intervene. He has accord
ingly prepared a brief, a copy Of which
was furnished TO the
Various Parties Interested.
In his brief General Childs reviews the
act of the Legislature granting the org
inal charter on the terms of which the
company claims the right to consoli-
date. He also reviews the various sac
ceeding acts by which that right, he
contends, was taken away, if the legs
lature had ever intended to grant ii.
He then goes on to argue tina 1t has
always been the policy of the state to
prevent such consultations as the one
contemplated, quoting from the laws OF
1874 and 1881 to bearsout this view, and
also from decisions of the supreme
court to show that actual consolidation
was what was aimed at i'll this case.
He urges thar the permission TO con-
solidate granted by the charter refers 70
lines lying in the same general direc-
ton, but not competing. the acquisition
of which might merely act as an extern
sion OF the lines OF the defendant.
General Childs next argues as 70 the
right of the legislature TO amend the
charter of the company SO as To take
way this right, if it had erer been in
tended to permit it to consolidate witt
parallel or competing lines.

HE WAS MASKED AND ARMED
He Tried to Hold Up Westiake Car Last
Night. But the Trainmen
Outwitted Him

A tall. burly figure in the middle of the
track was what the motorman of the out
bound 10 80 p. IN. Westlake park electric
car saw last night as he swung around
through the darkness from First street
into Bonnie Brse.
He thought the fellow was prospective
passenger. so slowed down to receive
him; but when the motorman saw in the
glare OF his cars lights that the big man
wore an immense black mask and had a
cleaning something in his right hand,
he quickly threw all the lower into the
motor and sent the car plunging and reel
ing forward before the road agent could
cry halt. The Conductor was inside put
ting on his overcoat. There were no pas
sengers on board. No shots were fired.
The car finished it's trip.out, and on
the return both conductor and motorman
stood ready on the front platform for an
assault. But the robber had either been
scared off or had thought better of it. for
they were not molested. They stopped
all the outbound cars to tell them of the
attempt, but none of the late cars were
interfered with.
The locality selected for the holdup is
we'll adapted for that operation. The
neighborhood rs sparsely settled. and it
is very dark place. Holdups have
failed almost regularly here. the only
real robbery being that Of the Maple ave-
nue. car few days ago.
