Experience With Wagon Which

What kind of a town is this, anyway ~
said a gentleman from the far west to a
Star reporter today. "They get unsuspect-
ing visitors who have not been doing any
thing in the way of breaking any laws, SO
far as is known, and start with them to the
station house by a method of transporta-
ton resembling that of street cars"
On being asked what he menat, the Wis
itor told the following hair-raising story:
"Well, say, that was the funniest bunco
game l ever went up against. 1 was going
up in the northwest section the other night,
to visit friend, and as did not know the
way I asked somebody to tell me how to
get there. l was told to take something
I forget the name of the burned thing-and
that it would take me close to where
wanted to go on 18th street. 1t was fun
ny name one had never heard before, but
1 think it was an alias for the Black Maria,
patrol wagon or prison van. 1 sized the
thing up all right, and climbed in the end.
The door shut to as took my seat. had
only had four or five drinks, and l know
that much could not have affected me.
There was nobody in that thing but me.
I sat there. and the wagon kept moving up
the street. 1 called to the driver to let me
out at the proper corner, but he knew his
business and didn't pay any attention to
me- l began to think things were getting
pretty warm around there, and concluded
the best thing to do was to take a sneak.
I tried to push the back door open, but they
had provided for that all right. 1 couldn't
move it. This is where my early training
came in, and 1 didn't do a thing but bust
the blamed doors open, and out / went on
all tours. was up again in a minute and
around the corner I went till was way off
from that place.
II managed to find my way back to my
hotel, but amt going to ride while am
in Washington. Walkin' is good enough
for me, I reckon, and you don't run so
many chances. I don't take any street
cars either; there's no telling where they
may land you"
The visitor said he had been buncoed
once in Oshkosh, Wis, and he kept his
eyes and ears open whenever he came to
a large city. He was here in reference to
some government claim, he said.

Judge Kelly Declines to Find for

Judge Kelly filed an order yesterday
granting the motion of the ST. Paul &
Duluth railway company to vacate the
verdict and for a new trial of the &C
ton brought against the road by Jo-
seph Roskoyeek, as administrator of
the estate of Roman Kranc, who was
accidentally killed in the railroad
yards at Minneapolis. The defendant
motion for judgment, notwithstanding
the verdict, is denied
This is the case in which Robert
Bell and Harry Burns testified that
they witnessed the accident, which tes-
timony led to their subsequent indict-
ment for perjury. In his memorandum
Judge Kelly says:
II am still of opinion, though not
clear from doubt, that, under the evil
dence in this case even after disre-
garding the testimony of the witnesses
hereinafter referred to, there remains
a question for the jury. For-that rea-
son1the' motion of the defendant for
judgment is denied'ts' J
This verdict cannot be allowed to
stand, because its chief support is cor
rupt and perjured testimony. That
which appears from the uncontradicted

NEWSPAPER FIGHT.
Tribune Gets No Relief From the
Court CT Appeals.

'
The United States circuit court of
appeals has affirmed the order Of the
circuit court for this district refusing
to grant the petition of the Minneapo-
lis Tribune for an injunction restrain
ing the Associated Press from furnish
ing it's night news reports to tire Min
neapolis Journal Printing company for
publication in the Minneapolis Times.
The opinion was handed down yester-
day. The lower court dismissed the
Tribunes bill of complaint. In affirm
ing this action the court of appeals
sets forth grounds that differ from
those upon which the lower court based
its decision.
The concluding portion of the opinion
which is by Judge Tbayer, is as follows:
In view of the contract involved in the
present suit, and the circumstances which
attended the execution. and the bylaws under
and subject to which it must be construed, We
think that it must be at least conceded that
the meaning of the contract is beclouded with
doubt and uncertainty. 1t cannot be said to
be reasonably clear that the Associated Press
is not entitled, under its contract with the
Tribune company, and under its bylaws, to
furnish news reports to the Minneapolis
Times and that its action in that regard
amounts to a breach Of the agreement, be-
cause as good, if not better, reasons can be
advanced in support of the contrary view that
the Associated Press reserved to itself the
right to do precisely what it has undertaken
to do and is now doing. Our conclusion is
that a court Of equity is not the proper forum
and that such relief as the Tribune company
is entitled to can only be obtained at law.
If we had not reached the conclusion hereto
fore announced that the bill of complaints was
properly dismissed we should then feel COM
PEELED to consider a further question which
is not touched by the briefs, and that is
whether court OF equity should undertake
to specifically enforce an agreement like the
one at bar. which would seem to have an OBJ
vious tendency to create and perpetuate a
monopoly of the news by limiting the service
of news reports to a single newspaper in a
large city and placing it within the power of
the proprietor of such newspaper to prevent
other newspapers from having access to the
same source OF information.

present at the meeting of the COM
Inittee and the lowest bidder was
awarded the contract in all the dis
trcts except the Fifth and Ninth dis
tricts In both of these districts Hugh

the contract, was the lowest bidder
In the Fifth district p. c. DOnnen was

nlittee was Of the opinion that much
better service could be secured by Civ
ing the work to Donnell, even if the
figures were a trifie higher, and so
recommended that he be awarded the
contract Donnell informed the com
mittee that he intended to work two
teams in the district the year round
and three if necessary, and would fur
nish bonds that the work would be
done satisfactorily. In the Ninth dis
tIict Preston & Anderson were $212

work themselves. He said the work
could not be done we'll for any less
money and hire the teams and men
necessary Mr. Martin thought one
team would be sufficient during the
five winter months, but the committee
decided that Preston & Anderson
would be the best firm to award the
contract to and by a unanimous vote
it was so recommended.
In the Seventh district D. w. Moore
was awarded the contract at $1,899.90,
his bid being just ten cents lower than
that of w j. Preston. The bid of
Nicholas Feyen, who offered to do the
work in the entire eleven districts for
$4,000, was rejected by the committee
for the reason that it was not ac-
cording to the specifications which
called for bids by districts. The re-
port of the committee will come up at

That the world is full of dissatisfied
and unhappy people we all know, but
very few of us give any thought to one
of the principal causes of the despon-
dency and sadness of the race. 1t is
only when we have almost finished our
lives that we learn that great eXpecta-
lions and high hopes are only extremes
from which we must recover, and that
every undue anticipation is an Ennat-
ural condition, and must bring its re-
action in corresponding depression. It
is very much better to preserve fair
equilibrium under all circumstances.
"a perfectly splendid time" is almost
invariably followed by a series of
events that almost rob life of its
brightness. 1t is not that anything so
terrible has really occurred, but the
good time has raised the hopes so high
and filled the heart with such bright
anticipation of future good times that
everyday pleasures appear tame and
insipid.
