TELL A SAD STORY
Neglected Children Will Not Be
Punished for Larceny.

After investigating the case of the five
neglected children of Arthur Johnson, liv-
ing at 165 st. Anthony avenue, who were
arrested yesterday on a charge Of lar
ceny, Judge Finehout discharged the two
boys who had been working and put the
others in care of the relief officer until
the father, who is at work in Bismarck,
can be heard from.
The story. of the children, as told in
court yesterday, is sad one. Seven
years ago their mother died. Their father
is employed by cement sidewalk con-
Germ and is forced to be away from home
much of the time For a time after the
mothers death the care of the little chill
dren was in the hands of a odsekeeper,
but Johnson found the expense too great,
and Annie, the older of the two girls, was
placed in charge of the home when but
eleven years of age. Although striving
hard to keep her brothers and sister to-
gether, the struggle was too much for
her and she could not control them. Dur
ing the past year her father has been
away from home almost all the time. He
has sent the children So a week to buy
groceries. but this furnished but scant
farS while their clothes and their home
have been neglected, and all We're much
in need of clothing when taken In charge
by the police yesterday.
The older brothers work. Arthur is
painter and Ben is a pin-setter in
bowling alley, but the brothers contrib
uted but little toward the care of the
younger children and seldom went home
to see them, the older girl states.
With not even funds enough to buy
food. the children have been forced to sell
nearly all the furniture in the little home
and there was but one bed in the place.
The other furniture in the house was
nearly all broken, windows were out and
the plaster was found falling from the
walls in many places. In the deep de-
spondency in which Annie, upon whom
the entire responsibility of the home has
rested, has been for several weeks be-
cause of the utter destituteness Of her
surroundings, all care Of the home has
been neglected and 1t was In bad condi-
ton when the children were removed.
When arrested the girl pleaded with the
police not to take them to jail and break
up their home. She declared that 1t was
her seven-year- old brother who had stolen
the numerous articles found hidden in
various parts of the howell. She said she
had whipped him repeatedly and tried in
every way to stop him, but could not.

uaI Election.

that a new executive committee and a

ger association, but the election was put
off until the session to be held in Janu-

of the Burlington and the present chair
man of the executive committee, was
slated for reelection, but owing to the
fact that he was obliged to leave for New
Mexico or account of i'll health he was
not present at the meeting.
Most of the session was devoted to dis
cussing the proposition of homeseekers'
rates. the action of the Southeastern and
Southwestern associations being the
ground work for the deliberations. These
associations decided some time ago to ex-
tend the rates for hemeseekers until April
10 of next year, and while many of the
representatives of the Western lines OBJ
jected to extending these rates throughout
the winter months, it was decided to pass

ROCK ISLAND PLANS
ENTRANCE TO DENVER
Trackase Agreement With Union Pa
cifc to Be Terminated.

Plans are being prepared by the
Rock Island for line from Limon,
Col, to Denver The distance is nine
ty miles and at present the Rock ISL
and is using the Union Pacific tracks
under ninety-nine-year contract, which
can be terminated at any time by the
Rock Island company.
The Arkansas Valley & Western,
which has line surveyed into Denver,
is understood to be a Rock Island
scheme, as the surveyors are from the
regular engineering forces of the Rock
Island. The cost of the extension into
Denver will be about 100000, ac-
cording to the reports given out by the
engineers, and this is almost positive
evidence that the Rock Island Frisco
system will be..r running it's trains into
Denver over its own line before long.

1T IS WASHER WOMAN'S
DUTY TO DODGE PINS
Court Holds She Cannot Recover DAM
ages From Owners of the Clothing.

When the family washing is made ready
for the washer woman it is not the duty Of
the members of the family to ascertain
whether or not there are any pins in the
clothing. This duty is one which belongs
to the washer woman, and if she Injuries
her hand by reason of pin in the wash
ing the family is not at fault and she can
not collect damages, even though blood
poisoning does set in and cause her the
loss of a hand.
This is the effect of decision by Judge
Kelly in the district court yesterday In
the personal injury damage suit brought
by Kate Gildberg against Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilbur Tibbils.
Judge Kelly after hearing the evidence
directed the jury to return verdict In
favor of the defendants, holding that the
washer woman had no cause of action. The
court holds that the plaintiff was aware of
the condition of the clothes before she
started to wash them and that she had a
right to decline to handle them.
The plaintiff while doing the family
washing for the Tibbils pricked her hand
on pin which had been left in the cloth
ing Blood poisoning set in and the wom-
an was in serious condition. She brought
suit for SO 800, the case having been on
trial before Judge Kelly since Tuesday.

cago, it was voted to- do away with the
custom of granting cheap excursion

worth the trouble to reduce the rates.
