GUN SHOT WOUND
inflicted Six Weeks Ago Causes Death Of
Bert SiSk. 4~<

Bert Sisk, aged IA and a resident of
Valley Mills, died very suddenly Fri
day. About six weeks ago young Sisk
went out hunting, and accidentally
discharged his gun, the load of shot
causing wound on the head. The
wound healed over and was to all ap-
pearances entirely well. Thursday he
complained of pain in his head.
Sisk soon became unconscious and
died Friday morning. In the myster-
ious healing process nature performed
her part imperfectly, the brain was af-
fected and death resulted.
Two sisters of the dead boy, Mrs.
Frank Turner and Miss Helen Sisk,
who live in the city, left Saturday
morning for Valley Mills, where the
funeral occurs today. Miss Helen
Sisk is student of the Marietta Com
mercial College and the students of
that institute purchased floral de-
sign to be placed on the casket.

RAILROAD DEAL
includes Several of the Big Northwestern
Lines.
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE New York
Mail and Express today prints the
following: Two gigantic railroads, in
volving the Northern Pacific, the
of the Northern Railroad, who admits
on the one hand, and the Atchison and
Southern Pacific systems on the other
hand has just been completed, the
statement being officialley made by
one of the highest executive officials
of the Norehern Railroad, who admits
that his company is about to pass un-
der the control of the Great Northern
occording to the long cherished plan
of James j. Hill.
Mr.. Hill, of the Great Northern, is
acting in close harmony with j. Pier
pont Morgan, who is the chief factor
in the management of the Northern
Pacific, for the purpose of putting
through the big combination of the
Northern Pacific The voting trust has
been dissolved, the consolidation leas-
ing one property to another, for Hill
and Morgan realize that the laws of
certain western states do not permit of
such a thing. Morgan and Hill, acting
with the Deutsche Bank, of Berlin,
which has always been a large owner
of Northern Pacific stock, have pooled
l,oi i,+ IN Ia
stock, and recently added greatly to
their holdings of Northern Pacific
shares until they now have a majority
in the great pool. This will be turned
over to the great northern, giving the
latter control Of its rical. The Great
Northern will pay for this huge block
of Northern Pacific stock by the issue
of the new Great Northern common
stock, or by means of the new security
to be determined.
The dissolution of the Northern Pa
cific voting trust, which becomes ef-
fective Jan. l next, instead of year
later as originally proposed, will per-
nit the distribution of stock as above
and enable James j., Hill to
take control of the property. Hill and
several friends enter the directory of
the Northern Pacific. Some of the Nor
gans are associates in the Norehern
Pacific and will be elected directors of
the Great Northern, and the Union Pa
cific interests will also have represen-
tatives in the boards of the other two
railroads. 1t is in further
ance of this colossal deal that Hill de-
cided to relinquish the presidency of
the Great Northern to his son, Samuel
Hill, who is now General Manager.
Hill will remain as chairman of the
board of directors.

A Unique Accident.

One week ago last Saturday, John
w. Sprinkle, assistant manager of the
Bell Telephone Co., swallowed a plate
containing two false teeth. Nothing
was thought of the matter for several
days, but lately the foreign substance
which is apparently lodged in the alb
dominal cavity, has been causing Mr..
Sprinkle acute pains. He was taken
to Grace Hospital, where an operation
to remove the teeth will probably be
performed.

TROUBLE WITH NATIVE COURTS.
Filipino Justices Reported To Have
Become Civilized.


Manila Especial 1.-The administra
ton of Manila's civil courts by Filipino
civil agent sis now attracting public
attention more than ever and has
brought to the Taft commissions atten-
ton with requests for, rectifcation.
The courts are composed of four JUS
tees Of the peace and four primary
courts. The magistrates are Filipinos,
and it has developed that the incum-
bents are failures as magistrates of JUS
tice. Complaints against the existing
courts are unending. Natives and for
aigners' dread litigation, knowing the
facts in the case.
Charges have been filed and evidence
is in the hands of the authorities, which
it is claimed will show the magistrates
have been guilty of corruption and NAL
feasance in office. One magistrate was
suspended on suspicion of criminal
abuse and attempt at fraud.
The monthly collection of fines of the
four native justices is estimated at
$4,000. The amount collected by the
primary courts for the same period is
much greater. The eight p1ag agistrates
persistently ignore the regulations es-
tablished by the authorities for the ST.
pervision of commitments and the ac-
countability of moneys. They deposit
less than $100 dollars monthly and are
alleged to appropriate the balance of
their collections.
It is further claimed that the magis-
trates are in collusion with the native
police in compromising offenses on the
basis of leash for freedom" and that
in many cases magistrates who COM
mitted men to Jail over year ago are
now liberating them, the explanation
being the effectiveness of habeas cor
pus and the designation of a special
officer to investigate the cases, resulting
in the freedom of many persons lille
gally committed as prisoners.
1t is said there are over fifty estab
lished instances where prisoners have
bought their freedom from the guards
conveying them between the court
room and the JAIL
Serious charges of favoritism have
already been made against the civil
branch of Manilas supreme court. The
members of the Taft commission are
disgusted with the conditions of the
courts and intend to substitute honest
Americans from the United States hav
ing knowledge OF Spanish for the ma
tive magistrates, but they are hard to
secure The commission will then, in
stitute drastic reforms needed in the
case of the entire judiciary.

His Neck Was Broken But He
Laughed and Joked
New York-(Special.) )-For six hours
Conrad j. Lang of SCI West Fifty-first
street walked, talked, laughed and en-
joyed himself with his family in igno-
rance that his skull was fractured and
his neck broken.
1t was when he retired and his pillow
pressed upon the broken bone of his
neck that it was known he was injured
at all. Then he died.
Lang was a truckman. Last night he
fell from his truck and landed on the
back of his neck and head, and was for
a time unconscious. Before an ambu-
lance could be sent for he sprang up
declaring he was all right except for a
slight headache.
He worked an hour and then went
home. One of the small bones of the
neck had been Clipped off. The pres
sure of this on the spinal cord when
he laid down killed him.
