HIS RECORD IS VERY BAD

lack Ledford, a notorious character,
who has the bad lands tcrrorlzed, was
arrested last night on a charge OF assault
in the second degree.
Ledford's victim was a woman vino
occupied No. A. East Mercury street, ana
whose name. further thar Agnes, the
police have been unable to learn. Led
ford was formerly the girls lover, but
some time ago they agreed to disagree.
Sunday night Ledford visited the girl S
place and administered such a brutal
beating to her that death is not a remote
possibility. although she may recover
AS the result of the method by which
Jedford makes such women love him, the
girl had half a dozen teeth kicked down
her throat. several ribs fractured and
her collar bone broken. She was re-
moved to West Galena street, where
several physicians were IN consultation
in regard to her condition yesterday. The
physicians say her injuries are of a most
serious charcter, and they will permit no
one to see the girl. 1t was therefore i'm
possible to obtain any particulars con
corning the affair, as Ledford refuses to
talk.
For some unexplainable reason the af-
fair was not reported to the police until
yesterday. Ledford was arrested by Chief
Mulholland.
Ledford is a hard nut. He has been
mixed up in many shady transactions
and his police record is a long and unen-
viable one. He was suspected of know
ing too much about the election tragedy
of last fall, and was arrested at the time
on suspicion, but as nothing could be
owe against him he was released after
a detention behind the bars of about two
weeks duration.
1t is possible that his latest exploit Will
result for him in a term in the peniten-
tiary.

The nome seekers half fare rate on the

today on the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern was compelled to double
their facilities in order to handle the
crowd according to an Associated Press
dispatch received by the Inter Mountain
this afternoon.
Not less than 5000 people took advan-
tage of low rates and the Great Northern
sent out an extra train at noon while the
Northern Pacific was compelled to add
a second section to it's through train. The
railroad officials export that many Of the
travellers bought only one way tickets,
which is taken as an indication of an in
~tention to locate permanently in the west.

UNION PACIFIC CUT.

The Union Pacific sprung a surprise on
it's competitors Saturday when it an
nounced that beginning yesterday it
would sell second-class tickets, from Mis-
souri, river points to San Francisco for
$34. 80. The regular rate heretofore has
been $3.50. AS soon as this cut was
made known the Great Western fell in
line and viii! G their passengers via
Kansas City at the same rate to the
coast. The cut is the result of secret
manipulation and 1T is expected that all
the other lines will meet this rate in a
few days. 1t is Thought that the coast
steamers from Portland and Seattle to
San Francisco, enables the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific to make these
rates, but as ali other lines have a con-
tiruous rail connection they figure that
they have an advantage over the North
ern roads, and will get the bulk of the
business.

THE RATE WAR.
return.

Speaking of the threatened rate wal the
Chicago Times-Hcrald says:
Another move IN the fight for passen-
ger business from st. Paul to points in
the northwest and on the Pacific coast
was made yesterday, when the Great
Northern Informed it's Chicago agent that
on and after March Il it would apply
half rates to all second-class business
moving to all points from which the regu-
lar fare from st. Paul is in excess of SO.
That the Northern Pacific will follow
this move is expected. Other western
lines undoubtedly will be obliged to make
corresponding reductions.
while this move of the Great North
ern will make no further reduction in
the rates from st. Paul to Pacific coast
points, it will make reductions to a great
many points this side of the coast. So
far the lowest intermediate rate has been
$25, that also being the rate to the Pacific
coast. After March 81 the fare to inter-
mediate points for secOnd-class business
will be exactly one-half what it is at
present.
"As an example, Great Falls takes a
rate of $33. This was, of course, reduced
to $25 when the new $25 rate to the coast
went into effect. After March q the fare
from St. Paul to Great Falls will be one-
half of $33, or $3.50. This will make the
fare from Chicago SIS, instead of $3.50
as at present. In like manner rates will
be affected.
'This action opens up a vast new ter
ritory to the coming transcOntinental
passenger rate war. The Great Northern
carries the lower rates into the kootenai
mining district, which for years the
Canadian Pacific has endeavored to re-
tain for it's own. To enable American
lines to compete with the Canadian lines
for traffic to and from this district the
interstate commission at one
time permitted the roads of this country
to ignore the long and short hau clause
that their regular business might not be
affected by the reductions. The Canadian
Pacific, it may be depended upon, will at
once meet the Great Northern in this new
move. Much of the intermediate terri
tory also is tapped by lines from the
Missouri river, and they, too, will de-
mand the right to make w fares
This in urn will affect still other terri
tory, and there is no telling where the
trouble will end. Prospects for another
as bitter transcontinental passenger rate
war as waged the greater part of last
year are exceedingly good"
