from officers ut White River juno

A misleading item appeared in
several state papers this week to the
effect that Walter +. Cox, brother of
&. W. Cox, was arrested in Pier
mont, N. H., last week FRIDAY and
fined $ioo for hunting deer. The
facts in the case appear to be that
he was the victim of a big bluff on
the part of u. couple of game com
missinnrrs. hut he was assessed a
fine OF only $40, which he paid
rather than go the trouble at fighting
the case. MIR. Cox and Milo Horton
went to Ortord, n. H., for rec rea-
ton, fishing, etc, but knew they
couldn't hunt deer and so did not
take along their rifles. The friend
with whom they were stopping,
however, loaned them guns last Fri
day and told them to go out and
shoot he,lgrh"gs, on which there is
Il small bounty, and while piking
for the woods, and were still on the
highway, thev We're held up by two
or three hrnSh game war,lens. They
had rifles, ar at least Mr.. Cox did,
and so were supposedly hunting
deer. he officers wanted the money
down after the arrest, with no delay
or appeal, and wouldn't allow Il
hearing in Oxford but hustled them
into an adjoining town. where the
fine was imposed. In the meantime
the friend of the Woodstock men
got Into communication with the
head game commissioner OF the
state and the fine was at once re-
duced to the figure above mentioned.

CANT GET THE CARS A POI.PIE At $4,000
Washburn-C Crosby CA Mill Shuts
Down Because It Cant Get
Flour Out Of Way
A Congestion Of Freight Makes It
Difficult Also to Get Wheat
to Mills.

The big A mill Of the Washburn Crosby
company closed yesterday Another of
the big milling companies closed a mill
last night. The millers are unable to
keep cleaned, up on the flour output owing
to the inability Of the railroads to take
-four away promptly: The situation is
very unsatisfactory and VIII Hkely4rsbe
much worse in few days. Sts;sTS
There is a local congestion of freight
which makes 1t almost impossible to get
wheat from cars or from local elevators
to the mills without serious delay. And
this is only half the difficulty.
= Chicago Squeeze Felt Here. &,&
The freight congestion in Chicago is be-
ginning to affect Minneapolis seriously.
The roads entering Minneapolis are doing
everything in their power to accommo-
date shippers, and there is little COM
plant of the handling Of freight once It
is loaded for Chicago. But beyond Chi
caso it is another matter, ~
The Milwaukee and the Omaha have
notified shippers that they cannot guaran-
tee the usual time on through shipments
share, they nave no control Of the move
ment after the cars leave Chicago. &,.5
The Milwaukee has issued a printed no
tice to. shippers in which it declines to
assume responsibility for conditions in
Chicago beyond it's control. The Omaha
anu tne burlington nave given out VerDa]
notices to similar effect and are expected
to issue printed notices later declinging
all through shipments.
The roads will make no promises. They
say they will do the best they can and
that they hope for Improvement later, but
will give no dates for delivery on any
shipments taken out for the east. y +
Grain Men Complain. ....-.
AT the Chamber the cash grain men are
complaining of the conditions. Much of
the barley, rye and other coarse grain
finds a market here only to be reshipped.
Many eastern distillers and matters buy
in Minneapolis. Local receivers complain
that it is more difficult to move their
country assignments promptly since the
blockade, as the eastern buyers hesitate
to take hold in the absence of definite as
surance as to ability to deliver at con-
Stunning points. .s-- - ~ "

GROUND INTO BITS
Hannah schulstad, q Factory Girl, Is
Killed on the Milwaukee
Tracks.
The Head Is Found Fully Two
Blocks From the Frightfully
Mangled Body.

Hannah Schulstad, young woman en-
ployed as cutter by Robitshek, Frank e.
Heller, was killed this morning beneath
the wheels Of the H. & D. passenger train
due at the Milwaukee depot at o'clock,
near Twelfth avenue 8 and Fourth street.
Her body was horribly mangled, .l1er head
being found at Twelfth avenue, while the
BODY was found lodged in switch at
Tenth avenue. The remains were taken
to the county morgue, where they were
Identified later by some girls who worked
with the unfortunate woman.
Just how Miss Schulstad met her death,
no one seems to know. None Of the
trainmen saw her, and no one knew she
had been struck by the train until her
body was found a few minutes after the
train had passed. The police were
notified and Deputy Coroner Harry G..
Irvine was called. The remains were re-
moved to the morgue.
Employees at the factory say that Miss
Schulstad had been in the habit of walk
Ing up the tracks from her boarding
place at 1872 Fifth street s. When she
did not appear at work this morning as
usual, and they learned that a woma n
had been killed on the tracks, they at
once supposed that 1t was she. They re-
ce1ved description of the dead woman
from Coroner Irvine and were able to
identify her.
Miss schulstad was about rs years old,
and had been in the city for several years,
having been employed by Robitshek
frank & Heller for two years. She had
friends at Granite Falls, Mimi, but it is
said that all her relatives are in Norway.
The friends will be notified and the re-
mains held at the morgue awaiting their
orders

HARD LUCK ALL ROUND
A North Dakotan Cut Up by Doctors
and Adversitv, H. %asE.

Troubles seem to be coming in a bunch
to J. D. LAWN of Hutton, N. D., who is at
the city hospital suffering from gastritis
A surgical operation was performed upon
him to-day and In addition to that, he
has just lost draft for 800 and an order
for 5000 bushels of wheat. g."
< Mr. LAWN came to the citysabout two
weeks ago and stopped at hotel at 1Qs-
ITO Washington avenue S. While there
he became quite friendly with one of the
clerks, and when he was taken suddenly
Ill a few days ago, he intrusted to his
new-found friend the transaction of some
business which had not been attended
to. He gave the clerk an order for 200
bushels Of wheat and draft for 500 to
be deposited in a local bank.
After. Mr.. LAWN arrived at the CITY hos
pital he learned that the money and order
had not been deposited according to his
instructions and the police were notified.
An investigation revealed the fact that
the draft had been cashed while the order
had been sold for 1855 and sthe clerk who
had the matter in hand, was missing.
Detectives Hicks and Smith are working
upon the case but have been able to do
but little on account of Mr.. LAWNS i'll
