STRENUOUS LIFE OF EDITOR.
Editor Of the ealfour Statesman
Horsewhipped by Man and Two
wn~An

VorseWnippeo by Man and TWO
Women.
f. f. Cowell. editor of the Balfour
Statesman, was horsewhipped in a hor.
rible name one night recently by
two women of the town. who were
armed with horsewhips cut of at the
ends. One of the women was the
wife of DR.. Sandborg and the other
was a woman who is at the presen.
time mixed up in a divorce case.
The editor was in his Office when
suddenly DR.. Sandborg entered with
a drawn revolver followed by the two
women. Cowell had no chance to de-
fend himself SO had to take just what
the women gave him. They whipped
the editor in a terrible manner A
bad cut was made across his forehead
and they laid blow after blow over
his body. He begged for mercy. but
1t was not given him until he was in
bad shape. The trouble arose over
something the editor printed in The
paper in regard to the woman in the
divorce case. The doctor and his
wife were also alluded to in some Of
the articles.

e Pembina Pioneer

The Pembina Pioneer Express
thinks that if the judge in a criminal
case can't say that evidence, if be-
lieved, proves a certain thing, then
omit the charge altogether. The state
ment is made in an article on the
Barry trial. II is likely the Pioneer
Express is inclined to be hasty in its
criticism. The supreme court merely
held that the language of the judge
gave the jury knowledge of the courts
belief, and that this was lot per-

COMPETITION WILL
HELP SITUATION
M. c. Campbell Believes in
Having Independent Plants
TO BUCK THE TRUSTS
Cattlemen Will Furnish Money
for Concerns.

M. c. Campbell OF this city, chairman
Of the State Live Stock Sanitary COM
mission, believes that control of the cat
tie market will he wrested from the pack
ing trust within the next year by the
establishment of independent packing
plants in number of the live stock cen
ters Of the country 1t is his idea that
healthy competition will do much tc
remedy present conditions
This. without question: said Mr..
Campbell yesterday, has been the worst
year cattlemen have experienced for a
number OF years. Everyone has fest
money. The packers are absolutely in
control Of the market and place prices
where they wish. Fat cattle are selling
for from s15 to SIS less than they did
four months ago. and you haven't heard
anything about reduction in the price
Of beef have you? That simply means
that the packer. are making from Us to
SIS more on every head OF cattle handled
than ever before
Cattle prices are away below the cost
of production. ! know of one man who
took five car loads of fat cattle 10 Chi
caEo and sold them at a less OF s., ,09e
The buyers all offered him the same
price and finally one man offered q bid
Of cents higher and got the cattle. There
is little doubt but that the buyers pool
issues and fix up prices before making
bids so that competition is stihed. 1t
used 10 be nothing uncommon to get an
advance Of 25 cents hundred over the
price quoted hy the first bidder Now you
are in luck if you get an advance Of .
nickle.
Il think the establishment of independ-
ent packing plants will do much TO rem
edy conditions and induce healthy csm-
petition. At the present time tive inde-
pendent plants are being built At St.
Louis. One will be put in at Leavsnworth.
The cattiemen are backing the IndeDsnd-
ent Packing company, which will erect 4
Number Of plants In packing centsrs. A
meeting Of the company will BE held in
Portland. Ore, on January S. an one
If the directors and probably will attend
IT this meeting 1t viii be decided where
the first plant will be erected. I am in
favor of having the plant built at kan
sas City. The company hls q capital sf
t5,0oo.eoo and large amount of this is
now paid IN After the Kansas City plant
is built 1 think plants should be put in at
Chicago and st. Joseph.
THE Independent Packing company
won't be cooperative concern. It will
be a regular stock company but will be
independent Of the packing trust The
cattIemer who will nut I'M tbe rnonav IN
build the plants do not expect to ship
their cattle direct to this company. They
will ship now on the market. but the
entry Of a big independent packing plant
on the market will force competition and
will add from 10 cents to Is cents TO the
daily quotations
