Rock Island Employe to Be Tried
For Injuring a Tramp.

Frank Peebler. Rock Island brake
man, has been taken to Enid, Ok, to be
tried for assaulting tramp.
About three weeks ago some tramps
who attempted to steal a ride on a
freight train out of Enid, Ok, were put
off by a brakeman. The brakeman was
Frank PeebIer.
The tramp was hurt a little in the
scuffle. He told his story to sympa-
thizing citizens of Enid. Accordingly
warrants were issued for his arrest. To
avoid any needless trouble the brake
man was given a run from Caldwell to
Her1ngton. This run is all in the state
of Kansas and of course officials from
Oklahoma would have no Jurisdiction.
Nevertheless an officer was sent into
this state and found Peebler in Herring
ton The officer had no requisition pa
pers but succeeded In intimidating the
brakeman. He was placed under arrest
and taken to Enid last night
Railroad officials say that, the bake
man in putting the tramp off did only
his duty and that the instructions Of
the company require that he or any 9TH
er employee should do the same thing.

SPLIT IN COLORADO.
May Be Two Sets of Delegates to
Kansas City.

Denver. June 6.-Contesting delega-
tions from Colorado to the national
Democratic convention are among the
possibilities resulting from a split in
the party in this city. Two sets of dele
gates from Denver and Arapahoe coun-
ty are seeking admission to the state
convention which will meet in this city
tomorrow for the election of delegates
at large to the Kansas City convention.
One set of delegates represents the sup
porters of Governor Thomas, who re-
fused to be governed by the action of
the county committee headed by Thos.
J. Maloney Fearing that Chairman
Milton Smith of the state committee
will seat the Maloney delegates the
friends of Governor Thomas, on the
state committee, are holding a confer
ence today with view to taking steps
to forestall such action, and from this
it is inferred that if the Thomas dele
cation shall be excluded from the pres
ent state convention another convention
may be called Meantime strong efforts
are being made by prominent members
or the party to bring about a compro-
mise between the warning factions. The
Maloney leaders are willing to have
Governor Thomas chosen as one of the
delegates at large to Kansas City, pro-
V1ded their committee is recognized as
the regular organization in Arapahoe
county. OF the 1913 delegates to the
state convention from outside Arapahoe
county, both factions claim a majority

Sherman Antitrust Law.

Kansas City. Mo. June 6.-The first
suit for damages ever brought and de-
decided under the Sherman antitrust
law of 1890 was decided in the federal
court here when Judge Hook. of Leav-

ed that the Kansas City Coal club was

mating against him. 1890 damages and
$500 additional for attorneys fees. The
case will be appealed Immediately to
the United States court of appeals
Hartman was formerly a member of the
coal club. When he withdrew because he
objected to its fixing the price of coal. the
members of the club refused to sell to
him. In this way. he alleged. his bust
ness was damaged. Many witnesses tes-
titled to the methods used by the coal
club to fix prices. 1t was the custom at
the meeting to fix a set of prices by a
popular vote Then a member of the
club would rise and say: This business
is unlawful or This is out of order:
move it be stricken from the minutes"
The motion would carry the unlawful
business would be stricken from the min
utes. But in q day or two a new price
list, containing the figures adopted by the
club, would be issued, and all members
of the club were required to abide by
these prices. Members of the club say the
decision Will in no way interfere with its
workings. and that it will be maintained
as in the past.

CALLAHAN BESTS DIXON.
Lively Six-Round Glove Fight is Con-
tested in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa. June 6.-Tim Gala
han of this city had a shade the better
Of George Dixon of New York in a six
round bout at the Penn Art club. Gala
han had the better of every round ex-
cept the last, outhghting the one-time
champion both in the open work and in
the clinches. 1t was not the Dixon of
old. however, and, while there still is
pretty good fight in the little colored
man, he has lost that aggressiveness for
which he was once so famous.
The strong body punches which
Callahan continually drove into Dixon
had their effect. The Philadelphia boy
saw the mark at the very outset and
never lost an opportunity to hit it At
first Dixon seemed to think it only
joke, but he soon found that it was not
at all funny. Tim held with his left
and punched with his right every time
Dixon came within reach, and as he put
all his strength into the blows he soon
had Dixon squirming to get out of the
holds. For three rounds Dixon did little
but protect himself and Callahan made
the first lead. landed the first blow
and kept right after Dixon in every
round.

POTATO BUG IN INDIANA.
Resembles This Seasons Sea Serpent
in Markings, But is Smaller.

Mishawaka, Ind, June "a strange
potato pest, altogether unknown to the
farmers, has made its appearance in
this county and, in fact, throughout
the whole northern portion of the state
and lower Michigan. 1t differs from
the old-fashioned and familiar inhabi-
tant of the potato patch in size, being
very diminutive. In color it is red,
black and yellow.
The new pest has come in great force
and with voracious appetite. The man
ner in which the vines are being de-
voured tends to confirm the fears of
extensive potato raisers that the crop
will be cut short this year by the raw
ages of the strange insects.

money, men forget health, happiness,
everything but business and the ac-
