the revision Of the code. a fight will be
commenced at the very start against the
further consideration OF the work. Last
winter, when the regular session was work
ing on the code, a number OF senators made
sensational charges that the railroads had
Influenced the code commission in preparing
the revision and that the parts OF the code
relating to the railroads in par
ticular and corporations in general
had been so changed that while
apparently preserving the original intent
they were left without force, and the com
mssloners would have been almost without
any power to enforce their orders.
The fight of last winter will be renewed.
1t is given out that Senators Healy. Che
shire, Garst. Waterman and other leaders in
the upper house have been diligently inves.
tiglting the matter since adjournment last
spring, and that they are prepared to ex.
plode a bomb early In the session. 1t is
claimed that they will present an ANALYSIS
OF the new code. in comparison with the old
laws. that will prove clearly that the corpo-
ration Influences have dominated the whole
work Of revision in their own interests.

out Of the penitentiary, committed a crime
last night that will give him a good, long
term behind prison walls He attempted to
commit a highway robbery and when his
victim resisted assaulted him with a kui'e
and inflicted dangerous injuries,
The crime was committed on South Ninth
street. between Twenty-hrst and Twenty
second avenues. at $50 last night. The
victim was Richard OBrien. a Union Pa
cifc swtchman. The attack was made
upon O'Brien just as he was entering his
own gate.
Yesterday o'Bren was compelled to dis
pose of a lot OF hogs which he had been
ises. His neighbors complained and Health
! Officer MCCrary ordered him to remove the
hogs as the only way to abate the nuisance.
O'Brien complied by selling the animals.
The sale was made yesterday and at 4
O'Clock the money for the stock was paid
to O'Brien. This information was given to
the health officer and 1t is supposed that
O'Brien also told others OF the receipt OF
the money and that Scott heard of 1t also.
During the early part Of the evening Scott
was hanging uTONUu tue saloon kept UN

house and took deep interest in the sale
Of the hogs. OBrien had been up town

! O'Brens face that extended from his tenn

and then he disappeared in the darkness.

a short distance east of Mitchell Ind. The
story is that the tramp found enough dyna-

struck ii. Having no other mode OF signal
ing he ran to the nearest switch tore of
the lamp and returning, signaled the ap-
