A SERIOUS CHARGE SAME AS A PERSON?
An Anoka County Coroner's Jury
Considers Krisko Accident,
CONSTRUED AS MANSLAUGHTER
Cant, Walton Will Not Try to Evade
Responsibility, but Expects
No Serious Result.

Percy A. Walton, captain of Company F.
national guard, has been charged by
coroner's jury with manslaughter in the
first degree, for the accidental shooting
OF little Johnnie Krisko Sunday morning.
The verdict was complete surprise both
to the captain and to his friends. for the
child's death was clearly the result OF &C
cident, Captain Walton having mistaken
his white shirt waist for piece Of paper,
while the youngster was lying conceaIeu
in long grass near the rifle range, from
which he had been warned OH only
short time before.
:, Members OF the jury were residents OF
Columbia Heights and friends or the
Krisko family; and to these facts the YER
dict must be attributed. 1t is quite eVi-
dent. however, that Anoka county ottlclals
do not agree with the finding. for Captain
Walton was released on his own recog-
nizance at the close Of proceedings yes
terday afternoon. He will now be COM
pelled to face preliminary hearing pc
fore the municipal judge at AnoKa, tne
accident having occurred in Anoka coun-
~ and will then either be released finally
or bound over to await the action OF tne
Anoka grand jury.
The coroner's jury was made up OF j.
M. Canfield John Sullivan, James Null
care Charles Reeves, M. @. Allies ana
Albert Dooies. County Attorney Pratt
appeared for the state and Mr.. Walton
was represented by Charles R. Fowler and
Stelle S. Smith. Evidence given ny the
witnesses called corroborated the story OF
the accident already printed IN the pa
pers. The witnesses all agreed that the
fatal shot was ti-~d from rifle be-
longing to John Tigue, which had been
passed over to the captain for a trial
shot; that he had taken the weapon,
which was not of the army pattern, had
turned and said: "Instead of shooting
at the target, will shoot at that piece
of paper OYER there; that from the firing
line only a glecm of white could be seen,
and that avery one supposed it was
what the captain had named it-merely a
piece Of paper. The witnesses further
testified that Immediately following the
shot small boy jumped up, staggered
few steps, and had then fallen mortaily
wounded
A survey made by t1le county surveyor
of Anoka county showed that the boy
was lying at an. angle Of sixty degrees
and eight minutes from tho target line
and at an elevation Of five feet and four
inches. The distance from the firing line
was just 135 feet.
feel the bitterness of the accident more
skeenly than Captain Walton. The jury's
verdict came to him as severe blow
yet he fe.4s certain that 1t can result ii
nothing more serious.

states Is necessity; and the permission OF
the latter state, where the actual work Is
being done, Is the more important, especially
when the purchasing corporation has no sep
arate function In the industrial world. but
is an association licensed for the sole purpose
Of participating in this advantages of the
other. Not only Ia 1t common to overlook the
difference between a natural and AN arttnctal
person, but 1t is common also to overlook
the difference between a share of stock and
other kinds of property.
Alleged Purpose of N. 8.
The point has been raised, In connection
with this contention, that the Northern
Securities company was not organized In
form for the purpose of doing anything
contrary to the laws of Minnesota; 1t was
not created for the avowed purpose of ac-
quiring controlling interest in the Great
Mort hern and Northern Pacific railroads,
but for the general purpose Of purchasing,
holding and dealing in corporate secur1-
ties, which is a legitimate purpose in Min
nesota as we'll as in New Jersey. II this
is true, was the Northern Securities COM
pany organized for an illegitimate pur-
pose? 1t seemingly cannot be condemned
for anything contained in Its charter, but
must be, if at all, for something which 1t
does that is unlawful in the state of Min
nesota This brings the argument around
to the old question whether, If an indi-
vidual living in New Jersey is free to buy
all the railroad stock he wants to pay for,
a New Jersey corporation is not equally
free. E.-.s . II, IS
Mr. Whitney suggests that there are
several ways in which any state might
protect itself in the future against such
organizations as the Northern Security
company, whether, they be domestic or
foreign. 1t might forbid any corporation
hereafter to hold more than certain
number Of millions dollars worth Of the
stock of any corporation doing local
business within its territory. It might
place a limit on the proportionate inter-
ests which one corporation could hold in
another. Congress might supplement
such. legislation so as to include inter-
state and foreign as we'll as strictly local
commerce.

BURNED OYER FIVE MILES
FIRES IN THE KooTENA1 COUNTRY
Mining Buildings and Much other
Property Obliterated-severaI
Mines ON Fire.


+ Ymir, B. c., Aug. 19.-One Of the most
disastrous firesawhich ever ragged on the
Kootenai is burning around Ymir. Sew
eral buildings have been destroyed and
several mines are on fire.. Wild Horse
creek, where important mines are situ-
ated, was hardest hit.
From the cyanide works Of the Ymir
company to the Foghorn mine, a distance
Of five miles, every building has been de-
stroyed. The cribbing and bridges on the
main road and its branches burned.
The cyanide works was saved by em-
ployes by digging holes In which they im-
mersed themselves in water up to the
necks while they handled the hose in
short shifts.
The buildings of the Wilcox and Black
Rock mines were obliterated At the for
mer mine the men took refuge in the tun-
nels, into which the wind blew the flames,
which ignited the timber. With
meager supply Of water, handled in tin
cups, the men kept the fire from spreading
until the danger was passed.

Milwaukee,, Aug. 19--The report from
New York that, the Wisconsin Central has
been bought by an individual, presumably
for the Canadian Pacific. is not credited
In Milwaukee financial circles, but rail-
road men in a position to be informed are
not SO certain that the story is without
foundation. In view ,ot the conditions sur
rounding this property, as one of the rail-
roads of the receivership and the reorgan-
ization, no one can now purchase the stock
of the road and the stock cannot be
bought outright for a year or more to
come.
All that prospective purchaser could
possibly do now would be to secure stock
certificates, not being able, under the
legal reorganization phase, to secure the
stock outright. - -" -.

MAN AND LEG
They Are Founa In Two Places
Murder Mystery.

Murder MyStery.
New York, Aug. 1e.-The police have a
mystery to solve in the finding in the
North river near the Battery of the body
of man with the right leg missing.
Two hours later right leg of a man
was found floating in Gravesend bay about
five miles south of where the body was
picked up. t< -.
What puzzles the police is the fact that
while the body was found ,denuded of
clothing, the leg was dressed in dark,
gray striped trousers, white sock and
laced shoe. The proportions of the leg
and the body as reported by the police, in
dicate that together they make UP one
person. '. ..s-
The man was about 35 years old, feet
10 inches tall, and weighed about 225
pounds. The appearance of the leg indi-
Gates that it had been severed at the
thigh by some sharp instrument, much
after the manner that a butcher wields a
knife. In the trousers pocket was found
a gold ring studded with three amethysts.

What wit la.

pr. Isaac Barrow, a famous Eng
ish divine and a man Of brilliant
wit himself, gave the best definition
of wit yet known, and he confessed
that "often it consisteth in one
hardly knows what" He said in his
old fashioned style:
Sometimes it lieth in q pat allu-
sion to known story or in season
able application of a trivial saying
or IN forging an opposite tale.
Sometimes it playeth in words and
phrases, taking advantage from. the
ambiguity of their sense or the af-
1inity Of their sound. Sometimes it
lurketh under an odd similitude.
Sometimes it is lodged in a sly ques-
tion, in a smart answer, in quirk-
ish reason, in shrewd imitation, a
tart irony, lusty hyperbole or q
startling metaphor. Sometimes an
affected simplicity and sometimes a
presumptuous bluntness giveth it
being. Sometimes it arises from o
lucky hitting upon what is strange;
sometimes from a crafty wrestling
of obvious matter to the purpose"
