In Justice Tibbils' court Thursday
morning occurred the examination of
the five men who are charged with an as
sault upon W. j. Fraleigh, an account of
which wal given in yesterdays TRIBUNE.
There was a large crowd of spectators in
attendance, as the case has aroused pub
lie interest and indignation. Fraleigh,
himself, was sent for and appeared in
the court room to testify against the
accused prisoners. He still suffered
considerably from his injuries, and was
stiff and sore from the effects of
the beating he received. His face
was badly bruised and SCARED, and
his eyes were in bad condition from the
lime which was thrown into them, he
being hardly able to keep them open.
Fraleigh testified that on the night of
the assault he went into Thistlewaite's
place at about 1890. There he saw
Beech and n or two others, including
the man Evans. Later he saw Beech 90
out and across the street into the alley,
where he was followed by the man
Evans. Shortly efter This he had started
to go home, and when he got as far as
the rear of the Settler Office a man
stepped out and said he wanted to see
him. Freleigh identified this man posi-
lively as the man Evans, whom he
pointed out from among the defendants
in the court room. He further testified
that Evans was joined after a moment by
several other men, who choked him, rode
him on a corawood stick, and then threw
him down, smeared whitewash and lime
in his face and eyes with a brush, and
then stripped him and beat him with a
whip until he agreed to leave town.
Charley Bentley testified to seeing the
defendants in Thistlewaite's place both
before and after the assault, and that
afterward they had lime on their clothes.
Russ Marsh testified to seeing the man
Evans go across into the alley just prior
to the assault. Also to seeing Fraleigh
just after the occurrence, and to his used
up condition.
Emil Froemmig gave similar testimony
as to F%ra]eigh's condition. Police Officer
Barnes testified to discovering Fraleigh
just after the affair, and to seeing his as.
sailants running away. Also to theil
subsequent arrest.
At this juncture the state started tc

RE-ARRESTED.
Beech and Evans, who are accused OF
being the prime movers in the affair
were re-arrested Thursday on another
charge of conspiracy. They had a hear.
ing at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but
waived examination, and were bound
over in $500 bail on this charge also, to
await the action of the district conrt.

investment in roadbed and equipment.
Besides, the roads have, during the past
ten years, reduced the rates of freight on
various commodities an average of nearly
80 per cent. Wheat rates have been re-
duced 40 per cent, lumber 90 per cent
and emigrants' goods have been reduced,
comparatively, from s85 to $3.50. All this
has been in the interest of the agricul-
tural northwest, and a further reduc-
ton, bringing the receipts very nearly
down to the actual operating expenses

terest on the investment, or for divi-
dends on the stock, would be an in
justice to the roads. Both gentlemen
claimed that while the average cost of a
mile of road was about $4,000, the net
earnings of the roads during the years
1893 and 1894 had not been enough to
pay interest at the rate of 6 per cent
upon an investment of $4,000 per mile.
The members of the committee, how
ever, did not agree with the views, of the
two gentlemen. They we're unable to
see why, with the reduced price of ma
terial and labor, the companies could not
afford to make a reduction, correspond
ing to the lessened cost of operating,
upon the rates for transporting staple
commodities.
After much discussion a resolution was
offered and passed by the committee
calling for the framing of a bill, to be in
PRODUCED simultaneously in the legisla-
lures of the two states, which bill shall
require a reduction in the freight rates
of the various railroads within their
borders, on wheat, coal and lumber, of
10 per cent from the present schedule.
These bills will be introduced next
Tuesday, at which time the committee
will reassemble at Bismarck.
Senate or Smith, when seen by a pio-
neer Press reporter, in st. Paul, said
that at the meeting of the committee at
Bis marck a resolution will be drawn up
and forwarded to the congressional
representatives of the two states asking
their aid in repeating certain clauses in
the interstate commerce law relative to
the handling of the products of the
northwest, more especially cereals.

ed by the five northwestern states. The
Pierre Free Press, in speaking of Mr..
Valentines visit, says:
This is a question that is of vital impor-
lance to the farming industry of the north
west, and immediate and concerted action
should be taken. 1t has gone beyond the
boundaries of a few states and is fast as
stunning proportions of national moment.
The farmers are unable to cope with it
single handed, and the legislature should
devise some means for their assistance.
The weed first made its appearance in this

flax seed by a Russion settler. Since then
its growth has been miraculous, rapidly

Mr.. Valentine will accomplish much in his
good work, as it is a serious issue for the
northwestern farmer.

For Tricks That Are Vain

Bismarck has been the Mecca this
winter, as usual, of printers. State work
with 'fat takes" always draws the sur.
plus typographers from the dark hooks
and corners of the north western "print
Shops" and although the strings have
not been as good as in the past, still the
boys have jollied along and spent their
checks as freely as Of yore, and have not
been broke any o~ftener than of yore, re-
marks the Bismarck correspondent of
the Alert. It is argued also that they
have had just as much out of it as they
ever did, and the money burned the
pockets no less than if they had
made tllelr old time strings. In
this connection a good joke is told of
how a printer got the better of a promi-
nent state official. OF course the typo
was financially embarrassed and wanted
to get out of town. There was no more
work left. He applied for ~transporta.
ton to several newspaper men, but they
had none. There was a "sick wife" at
home and the boys felt as if the case was
n of hustle. So the prominent state
official was approached by a species of
instinct in the printer, as being the right
kind Of a man to ask for a loan. Thirty
five dollars were wanted only for a few
moments just to show another man that
the borrower had S35. He got the loan
and never came back, and the sick wife
in the east is now no doubt receiving
proper medical care, and a ''sick" official
in Bismarck is in need Of a prescription.
