Her father had read her the parable of the

and like assuI ances she was finally paciied.
The next night the same performance was
repeated, and again her mother inquired the
reason,

goats!"
Didn't tell you, dear, that you were a

oh" she sobbed. "I'm not crying about
myself. but I'm 'fraid you may be goat!'

CHICAGO STRIKE
IS SETTLED
Agreement Reached Early This
Morning and 1t Is Victory for
Street Railway Co.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-The strike Of
the employees Of the Chicago city rail-
way was settled early this morning at
a conference between the mayor, the
aldermanic peace committee, President
Hamilton and e. R. Bliss, counsel for
the company, and the executive board
Of the local union of the strikers.
The basis on which the settlement
was reached is a complete victory for
the company as far as the original de-
mands of the men are concerned. The
agreement reached will be ratified at a
meeting of the men at o'clock this
morning, and 1t is expected that traffic
on all the lines of the company will be
resumed today
The only important concession made
by the company was an agreement to
reinstate all the strikers, including the
outside unions who went out in SYM
pathy with the trainmen, with the
exception of those who resorted to vio-
lence during the trouble. The arbi-
tration Of the wage scale is to be ac-
cording to the wages paid outside of
Chicago, and not on the basis of the
local street railways. These are the
two points that have been the STUN
bling block to a peaceable adjustment
Of the strike for the past week.

MOREIIGHT ON
MURDER MYSTERY
Two Young Men Inform the Police That They Saw the
Body of Salvatore Battaia Lying on the Franklin
Avenue Bridge Very Soon After Murder-Their Friends
Claim They Saw Two Men Trying to Throw Battala's
Body Over the Bridge.

Lewis Rokem and Arthur Nelson,
young men who live near the Franklin
avenue bridge in Minneapolis, saw the
body of Salvatore Battalia lying on the
bridge last Wednesday night
The boys had not reported this to the
authorities, but last night acknowledge
ed to Detective Lewis Hansen and q
Clio be reporter that they had seen
the body lying on the bridge before the
alarm was given, and Rokem said that
he had heard somebody running away.
Neither, however, would admit that
he had seen any one close to the body
as they had been reported to have told
their friends.
These friends say that the boys had
been visiting on the East side until about
$3.50 o'clock, when they started home,
Rokem to go to 904 Twenty-fifth ave-
nue. south, and Nelson to Franklin ave-
nue., between Twentieth and Twenty
first avenues south.
AS they reached the east end Of the
bridge, walking on the right hand side,
they saw two men lifting something
between them that appeared to be
heavy and carrying toward the railing.
The men evidently heard them ap-
preaching, for they dropped their bum
die and ran in their direction, but on
the opposite side of the bridge.

In intimate association with Gen. Reyes,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. "a
Gus Beaulieu notified the interior de-
partment today that he will file bill
in the supreme court of the District of
Columbia to enjoin the further sale of
timber on the reserved portion of the
Leech lake reservation.
This action is calculated to delay the
sale Of timber advertised for Dec. %.
The suit involves the construction of
the Morris act, and may tie up all log
ging operations. Beaulieu claims, in
behalf of the Indians, that valuable
land and timber have been taken un-
der last years congressional enact
ment, in violation of the Nelson act of
1889, and without the consent of the
Indians. Department officials are pre-
pairing to resist the petition for injunc-

noise made by falling earth hastened to
the scene just as he heard the whis-
tie Of the North Coast Linn

stinctively Twohy felt something
was wrong, and running with all speed
to the track, discovered it buried under
a mass of earth and heavy rocks from
the mountain side. Twohy had bare
ly time to run 200 yards and with his
coat flag the oncoming train. One
boulder, on the track was so large that
1t was necessary to dislodge it with
dynamite, and the mass was so located
on the curve that when discovered by
the engineer it would have been I'M
possible to avert a collision.
The scene of the slide was on the
steep side of a mountain, and had the
train been wrecked it would have
plunged down into a rocky gorge.

Boys Ran Away.
Terror-stricken they broke into a
run and went home. They did not re-
port to the police, fearing to be mixed
up in the horrible affair, and even now
they show reticence in talking about
what they saw.
The report of what the two young
men saw, though evidence already
gained, if true, explains a number of

body, has never been explained. Had
the body been balanced on the rail the
cap would have blown off in the wind.
The conflicting blood tracks going to
the west end Of the bridge, where the
knife was thrown over, would seem to

that he replied that She could hardly

would bring him the offer from the

it was equally difficult for him to con-

say that Mr.CleVeland thinks that
