Setchell was about 50 years old and was
steauy and industrious man. He came
In yesterday morning from hts ranch at

He took an empty freight truck and
started up on the freight elevator after
goods. He was accustomed to this kind Of

The elevator disappeared at the second

was caught between the floor of the ele-
vator and the third floor. His body was
stretched out on the elevator.
Death had come the moment his head
struck the floor. The elevator was lowered
and Deputy Coroner c. q. Yandeli viewed
the remains. He reported to Coroner Yam

for q Re-Esta blishment OF Old
Rates Mt an Early Date-The
500 Pacific Stirs Up Things.

There was a resumption of passenger
business as far as delivery was concerned.
yesterday, the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific combined bringing in over 400
men bound for Klondike, together with
their baggage and dogs. No intimation
has been received in this city Of ter
mination in the rate war but ST. Paul
adyices state that railroad officials
In that city and in Chicago are looking
to see the regular tarifr re-established
before long. In the meantime the 500
Pacific route is stirring up no end or a
mnss on eastbound business. although its
threatened westbound cut of SIS and $40
was never put into effect.
The enterprise Of the 500 and its ability
TO meet an emergency is shown In its
rate from ST. Paul to New York, Boston
and Tor0nto and intermediate points. The
cut Is from $3.50 from st. Paul to New
York to SIS finst-class and from S25S0 to
$ls second-class, with 81 additional to
Boston. These rates are made to apply
only by way OF Sault Ste. Marie. The
New York rate applies TO Toronto, Buffalo
and intermediate points.
The adjustment Of the present difficulty
between the roads lies In the hope that
the Canadian and 500 lines will be brought
10 realization of the effect of the de-
moraiixation in rates and that they will
assist in the establishing OF an agree
ment that viii be satisfactory TO all. 1t
Is not, however, believed that the Cana
dian or 500 Will recede from their de-
mands for the differential on Alaska
business that was the cause of the precipi-
tation OF the war. The American roads
VIII maintain that the competing roads
the Canadian and the 500, are quite able
to work for Alaska business on the same
basis as the American roads
The Union Pacific announced in Chicago
and Omaha last week that il would not
attempt to cut rates through the Mis-
souri, river gatewayS ana this announce
ment is Ia line with its refusal TO partic!-
pate with the oregon Railroad Il Naviga-
tion and Oregon Short Line in the west
bound business On cut rate basis. The
Canadian Pacific has reduced its through
and local rates in all Canadian territory
where the Grand Trunk is a competitor
This action can have no effect on Ameri-
Trunk into an alliance with the Cana
dian Pacific. In which event the western
roads would be In sorry way as they
might find themselves shut out from any
outlet to the East the Central Passen-
ger roads are not inclined TO enter the
fight. In the meantime the Grand
Trunk is meeting all Canadian Pacific
