CAPTURED A FOOtDad

| The Minneapolis Tribune gives
an interesting account of how
}. W. Moore, of the Moore Heat
ing company, and brother of
Mrs. j. G.. Wood of this city,
captured a footpad, who attempt
ed to hold him up. Mr.. Moore
gives full account of the affair,
from which we take the follow
ing:
| had left my Office at 6 O'Clock. to
go to the postoffice, and was walking
| on the right hand side of Fifth street
when L noticed man approaching
me about 80 feet in front of street
lamp. l took no particular notice of
him until he was within few feet of
me. then saw the glare of revol-
yer which he held in his hand. Hardly
had perceived it when the man step
ped in front with the revolver pointed
directly at me.
"Throw up your hands" he command
ed.
For a moment was frightened, and
did not know what to do, then SUPER
human strength seemed to come to me
and without seconds hesitation [
threw up my hands, and as I did so
grabbed both of his wrists.
''His arms went quickly into the air.
He had in his right hand a revolver,
in the other he carried a policeman's
billy.
'"The man tried in every'manner inn
aginable to release himself from my
grasp, but knowing that by giving up
in the struggle placed myself liable
to perhaps fatal injuries, I continued
the fight in sheer desperation.
Two other citizens came along
during the struggle and disarm-
ed the footpad and helped to drag
him to a police station.
When arraigned in the police
court on a complaint charging
him with assault in the first de-
gree with intent to rob. Larson
told Judge Holt it was all a joke.
A plea of not guilty was entered
and the prisoners examination
was set for Tuesday morning at
9 o clock.

COnright's . Santa.

The court house gang made up
a surprise for Levi Conright the
janitor. They had prepared a
Christmas wall decoration in the
hallway and had it put in place
while he was away to dinner and
which he ran into upon his re-
turn. A large card with greet
ings in verse to "Our Levi" was
hung upon the wall ard gayly
fixed up with sprigs of holly and
pretty pictures, among the latter
being artistic photographs of
Levi, one purporting to have
been taken in 1846 when the hero
was an infant, one in 1865 when
he was soldier and one in 1902
Among the gifts besides popcorn,
candy and apples were several
handkerchiefs, two pairs of
woolen socks, a cap, necktie,
locket, woolen gloves, cup and
saucer, a pair of suspenders and
IA supply of fine cigars and
chewing tobacco, all appropri
ately labeled. No little boy in
the country was more surprised
and delighted than was Levi by
this visit from Santa Claus, and
he has decided to hang up his
stocking every Christmas eve
hereafter.

was destroyed by fire. Mr.
George Moore, who has charge
Of the elevator, had built the fire
in the Office and returned to his
home nearby as was his custom,
and when he returned he found
the building in flames. There
was about 5000 bushels of wheat
and 10, 1000 bushels of oats in the
elevator at the time, which was
totally consumed. The grain
was fully covered by insurance
and the loss on the building
nearly so, SO that the principal
loss will be the loss of the busi-
ness for the season.

ExOrbitant Insurance

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The
standard fire insurance companies
which have recently made an average
raise of forty per cent in their pre-
MUM rates in South Dakota are just
now trying to make 1t unpleasant for
Commissioner Shober. They have
already collected considerable lobby
and their travelling agents are said to
be attempting to work some sentiment
against the commissioner by declaring
his views demagogic, populistic and
| UNIV arranted. This line of attack will
hardly do. The people of the state
| are with Mr.. ShOber in his recOmend-
ations. They have read his report or
at least extracts from it and they are
astounded at the showing which he
that the companies would make q
sharp raise in rates in face of the fact
that during several years past, during
in fact all the years that they have
been doing business in South Dakota,
they have returned in the way of losses
only forty -seven per cent of the money
they have collected for premiums. The
people agree with the commissioner
that the companies should reduce their
rates instead of raising them. They
agree with the commissioner that the
legislature should enact Legislation
: which will compel them to do SO.
They agree that South Dakota should
have laws at least as stringent as
, those of Iowa. And they flout the
: suggestion made by the companies
that such legislation is demagogic OF
populistic. Iowa has never been 9
populist state and has never beer
) partial to populism. It has never
! been led by demagogues. The peopl,
of South Dakota would be quite con
tent to be classed with Iowa in matters
I of legislation.
!. Commissioner Shober deserves higl
( praise for bringing this question pro
minently before the people. 1t is on
in which every person in the state i
;. interested. The former insurance rate
: were exorbitant, fact shown by tn
profit of more than fifty per cent whicl
: for years has gone to the companies
The present rates will make that prof
at least seventy-five to eighty per cent
Such profit is an outrage ON th'
!: people. That it should be stopped i
possible is the general wish. That
can be reduced considerably by fol
o lowing the sustained laws of othe
= states is apparent.

under his supervision. There
will also be change in the county
