AFFAIRS IN COURT.


Judge Elliott at Minneapolis Mon.
day granted temporary order re-
strnining the officers Of tho Northern
Pacific Railway company from retiring
the preferred stock Of that company.
The order was issued ON the npplica.
tion Of Peter Power Of New York, who
holds 100 shares Of the common stock.
II was supposed that the failure " the
action brought in New York by holders
OF preferred stocl, cleared away the
last obstacle to the retirement OF the
preferred on january list, leaving the
MN interests free to act.
II Is inferred, although II does not 30
appear, that the present action Is
brought In behalf OF the Hartman in
terests TO prevent the control passing
from out OF Its hands for another year
or until the legal standing Of the
Northern Securities company Is set
tied.
The claim set up by Mr. Power In his
suit Is that the retirement OF the pre-
ferred stock is 10 violation OF the agree.
mont that such retirement would lay
no additional burdens upon the com
mon stock aud he holds that the GER
tincatea OF debeuture bonds to be
issued to effect tho retirement Of the
preferred stock would become a lieu
upon the common stock and thus work
an injury TO his property.

II Is reported that promoters ar
ranged to sink gas aud oil wells near
Barboursville, KY to depth where
they were certain that oil would be
found in paying quantity and then
plug the well, leaving the Impression
that It "a a "dry hole" In order that
the prices for land leases might be kept
down. Since Christmas the oversoers
were absent, and It is claimed that the
drillers went too deep. The result was
a gusher six miles from Barboursville
yielding 5000 barrels day. The oil
became ignited, destroying all the ma.

ED. REPORTER: will tell you little
Of our experience in the west. The first
obstacle we encountered was a blizzard,
worse than Iowa ever dreamed of. Our
train only made three miles an hour for
400 miles. There is not livery team in
Leon that cannot beat it. Have not
seen good horse since leaving Kansas
City. We have been snowbound and
had nothing to eat for two days, that
being when we got to Denver. Forty
people froze to death on the train ahead
Of US. Two "s,rong. arm" men in the
party walked five miles through the bliz-
zard and coming upon section house
containing one lonely woman, at the
point of a revolver forced her to deliver
to them all the eatables she had. Not
finding enough they killed her dog and
roasted it in the baggage car ahead.
Roast dog is fine, too, when q. fellow is
hungry. Perdne ate so much Of the
canine delicacy that he went barking
all around tie car. The sheenv news
agent raised the price on all of his apples
and oranges to 25 cents each.
We are now making up party of men
toHplay game of pitch, the person los.
ing to walk eleven miles through the
snow to the nearest depot and hold up

EXPRESS COMPANY WINS SUIT.
Does Not Violate Law In Trans.
4 porting Packages of Liquor
s C.. o. d,

Keokuk, Ia, Dec. 22.-Judge McPher-
son Of the federal court handed down
to-daysanl opinion in the case of the
United States vs.. the Adams Express
company, in in nl.lw which the corporation was
Indicted for carrying on the business of
aretail liquor dealer without having
paid the special tax as required bylaw.
The federal court in its 'opinion holds
that the express company is only an
agent of the venders in carrying liquors
and collecting and returning the money.
As the express company did not sell
liquors it was mot engaged in the busi-
ness of liquor dealer. The court in
this opinion has overriden the decisions
Ofithe supreme court OF Iowa.
The packages of liquor were sent by a
liquor house at Dallas, ILL.,, TO parties at
Birmingham, q. o. u. The express
company was indicted n the government
claiming title was transferred to the
company when it received G. O. D..
packages. Judge Mcpherson in his
opinion says:
The only question to be considered
in the case is where and by whom the
liquor was sold. Iffin Illinois, the court
is without jurisdiction. If by the Dallas
company in Iowa, then the grand jury
has erred in naming the defendant in
the Indictment. Did the Adams Ex
press company carry on the business Of
liquor dealersin Iowa. H. sg. E.s
'sThe defendant as common carrier
may exact:carrying charges in advance,
or it may waive prepayment Of such
charges, in which eventit has alien on
such merchandise, for carrying charges,
by payment of which consignee rem owes
the lien. II such case. the carrier has
no interest or profit in the transaction,
other thanias a5carrier.l: 1t receives no
commission for.tthe sale Of the liquor"

companyto the @consignees when they

that the company was negligent because
Of the failure of the engineer to sound a
warning whistle as he approached the
crossing.
The action against the conductor is
based on charge that he knew that
plaintiff had been run down by the
train, and that instead of stopping the
train, as was his duty, and going to his
aid, he permitted it to continue on its
way and left him at the roadside suffer-

to get evidence for the State and when

looked at the remains and saw their
horrible condition, remarked that he
| hoped after his death he would be
cremated. This information was con,
veyed to the relatives since his death.
1t was thought if it were really his
desire to be cremated that reference
| to it would be made in his will, and
| this is the reason an immediate search
was made for the document. Judge
Stake on several occasions in conYer.

AN ANARCHIST PLOT
To Assassinate President Roosevelt Re.
vealed BY a Woman at a Religious
Mating.


HOBoKEN, n. j., Nov. 18.-The most
startling disclosure in the history of
anarchistic plots was made here in
the Mothers Club of the First NJ. E.
church this afternoon by Mrs. Lena
Dexheimer. She declared to the U.
s. secret service detectives and to
Rev. Charles L. Meade, the pastor of
the church, that lots have been drawn
three times among the New Jersey
anarchists for one who should take
the life of President Roosevelt.
Each of the three men selected by
lot, knowing that if they were sue
cessful in their dastardly project they
would be executed, or if they failed,
would be killed by their fellow anar-
chists, at last took their own lives.
Confession of the plots against the
President was only told by Mrs. Dex-
heimer while under the strong emo
tional stress of religious forvor. She
was telling of the comfort and moral
uplift that had come into her life
since her recent conversion to the
Christian faith, when her face sud-
denly lighted up and she branched off
into the story of her associations with
the New Jersey anarchists and their
designs upon the life of the President.
