VIOLATED AN AGREEMENT
Union Pacific Is the Road Con-
cerned-News Causes Much Talk
Among st. Paul Rail-
q FOaders.

What is believed by many to be the ex-
PLANTATION of a vagrant newspaper para
graph of few days ago, to the effect
that a certain st. Paul railroad company
had detected another company in fragrant
violations of the agreement not to pay
agents commissions on the sale of tick
cts, appears in a sensational bit of news
that was circulated in St Paul yester-
day. Like q bolt of lightning out Of a
clear sky came the news of the resigna-
ton of Assistant General Passenger
Agent Hutchinson, of the Union Pacific
in Omaha. On the heels Of the informa-
ton comes the undenied statement that
three other general agents of the passen-
ger department of the Union Pacific in
vario4s ties rave handed in Their resig-
nations TO be effective at once. Among
them are George T. Holly, at Chicago, a
veteran and popular man in the service;
A. G. Sherman, at Cincinnati, and George
Ady at Denver.
Nearly every passenger traffic man in
St. Paul was talking of the peculiar in
cident yesterday and all had the same
information which, in effect, was that
the designations were all forthcoming on
account Of the rumored discoveries 1t
was also stated that the case had been
hanging fire some time on account of the
unwilingness of the higher officials to
have a sensation concerning the violation
of the anti-commission agreement, espe-
cially as men of excellent standing and
known ability were effected thereby.
1t is definitely known that President
Burt, of the Union Pacific, took a deep
personal interest in the case, and those
who know him best are free to believe
him a disciplinarian who would permit
nothing to stand in the way of strict
enforcement of the terms of the agree
ment so far as Union Pacific employees
are concerned.

Down near the mouth of the. river the

that they look like clouds of black
smoke, and, when they make a descent,
there is nothing to do but beat a retreat.

poor beasts will become absolutely mad

their ears and nostri!s, and on several oc-

commit suicide by drowning. I mean
that they wade into comparatively shall
low places and deliberately hold them
selves under water until life is extinct.
Anybody who lives in the neighborhood
will bear out the assertion, and if the
act is not intentional suicide it certainly
has all its aspects. 1t is a common thing
to see cattle run into the river and sub
merge themselves until only their noses
protrude. Old settlers say they will
stand that way all night, and I know
from personal observation that they will
hold their position for hours al a time.
1t is curious fact, by the way, that
some of the natives of the lower coast
are evidently immune to mosquito bites.

Tested undesirable results in climatic

Although the verdict obtained against
the lumbermen, $SS,000 was q large one,
one of the largest secured in The North
western courts in many years, it is felt
by many that the money at stake is not
as important to Uncle Sam as the effect
1t will have on the operations Of the
lumbermen, who seem to have fallen into
q wOefUl neglect of the principles of pub
lie morality that led them TO believe that
Uncle Sam was a At fowl for an easy
plucking, so long as they were not found
out The defendants, all supposedly
reputable business men, admitted thai on
licenses to cut 2,750 G01 feet, they had cut
H.60O,U00 feet, as shown by the state scale
of the timber actually cut Some est-
matters have thought that the cut was
underScaled, although as the government
had nothing but the String and top
estimate to go on, it was impossible to
demonstrate that fact beyond a possI
bility of doubt
The court on this trial took from tho
Jury the question as to whether the lum>
bermen had acted in good faith, and in,
sisted that the fact Of willful trespas;
had been clearly shown, so that the only
questions left to the jury were the actual
determination of the amount of the I'M
lawful cut, and the value of the timbc:
per thousand.
The minimum figure claimed was ST per
thousand, aud on this basis, the Ii, OG0, O9C
feet cut in excess of the amount of the
licenses figured up about $50, 900, on which
the interest for the time the litigation
has been pending brought the sum to the
$SSO00 which was awarded.
Uncle Sam was represented in the fight
by John T.. Stryker, who, as assistant
district attorney at the time the illegal
cut was discovered, became familiar will
the case, and has spent eight years OF
labor and inquiry on the facts and law
in the case, which this time seem, al
