CAR SHORTAGE
Railroads are Taking Steps TO
Avert One This
Fall.

Operating officials Of all lines
are taking energetic steps tc
avert a car shortage when the
wheat crop from Minnesota and
the Dakotas begins to move, and
although it is believed the lines
will be better prepared for the
rush than last year, there is a
general belief that during it's
height the Head Of the Lakes
elevators and yards will again be
congested and the lines will be
short of cars.
Eastern lines are already pre-
pairing for the fall rush and many
of the important systems have
issued orders directing a strict
enforcement of the demurrage
rules and the prompt movement
of loaded cars. Lines out Of St.
Paul have been insisting for two
months on an observance Of the
rules governing cars received by
consignees and are keeping their
their equipment we'll in hand.

Ottawa Ont, Aug. 9.-With the sew
enty-tive passengers on board in ig
norance of their peril, water rushed
into the hold OF the steamer Enterprise
yesterday until the fires under the
boilers were extinguished. While the
officers were engaged in keeping the
passengers from knowing the sinking
condition of the boat the captain
changed his course to the nearest
shore The engineer by great efforts
managed to keep enough steam in the
boilers to keep the steamer under
headway until shallow water was
reached, aud not until the lurch Of the
vessel told that Its bow had struck
the beach did the passengers know
that anything was wrong. When In.
formed OF their escape many of the
women passengers became hystertcal,
but all were removed to the shore

W. E. Coddington the Self
confessed Murderer. Of
Henry Kehring
SAYS THAT 1T WAS A CASE OF
KILL OR BE KILLED.
He is now a Prisoner in Coun-
ty Jail at Grand Rapids,
Minnesota.

w. b. Coddington, the self
confessed murderer Of Henry
Kehring, the Big Fork settler,
last week, says that the shooting
was done in self defense. Al
though he had plenty time to
escape he did not attempt to 40
so, but waited until the officers
arrived and then gave himself up.
The killing took place last
Tuesday afternoon about !
o'clock, thirty miles from the
nearest railway station, Bena.
There were no witnesses to the
tragedy. Coddington is now in
the Grand Rapids Jail. He will
have a hearing today or tomor-
row. The man claims that he
can produce at least five witnes-
ses who will testify that Kehring
had on the day before threatened
to kill him.
In substance the prisoner s
story is as follows: Last Mon
day Kehring came to the claim
of w. G.. Parsons where Codding-
ton and four other companions
we're working on a house. He
threatened to kill Coddington if
the latter did not produce $50
which he claimed was due him,
and at the same time produced a
revolver. After repeated, threats
he finally left the place. That
night as Coddington was driving
home past Kehring's place in
company with Frank Wassmeke
the old man rushed out of the
house brandishing a revolver and
threatened to kill Coddington.
Wassmeke whipped up the team
and they escaped unharmed.
Tuesday afternoon about |
O'Clock he was again driving by
Kehrings place, this time alone,
when Kehring rushed out at him,
gun in hand, swearing and
threatening to shoot. The horses
became frightened, started to
run, threw Coddington out of the
wagon and also his rife, which
he seized and began to fire in the
direction of his antagonist.
Three balls took effect, two hit
ting Kehring fairly in the breast,
passing completely through the
body, the other ball entering the
left side and passing out on the
right side.

DISMISSED
Frank Schauls Given Hearing Be-
fore Judge Achenbach This
Morning.

Frank Schauls, a Bemidji sa-
loon man, arrested last week
charged with having refused to
return mans watch left with
him for drinks when the neces-
sary cash was produced, had a
hearing before Judge Achenbach
this morning and was dismissed,
as nothing could be proven
against him. It is alleged that
customer took 40 cents worth
of drinks, leaving a valuable
watch with Schauls as security,
and that when he returned later
and produced the 40 cents the
bartender refused to give up the
timepiece.
