While the north-bound Pioneer limit
ed train on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St Paul road was passing through the
yards in La Crosse the other night some
one turned a switch just after the engine
and one coach had passed the point. The
train was travelling unusually slow,
which was all that prevented serious
wreck. Two passenger coaches were
slightly damaged and the rails were torn
up for some distance. No one was in

The labor situation, willis
presenting satisfactory contrast VITA
that of a year ago, is not entirely de-
void of complications requiring prompt
adjustment to insure non-interruption
of activity. With the better organiza-
ton of both employers and wage-earn-
ers pending differences may be solved
without interference to general bust
ness
Aside from this feature the condi-
tons Of trade in most branches reflect
continued Improvement. Limited deal
ings in breadstuffs are still conspicu-
Gus, but, on the other hand, advance
appears in consumption of other COM
modities and in the demand for manu-
featured products.
Better weather helped materially in
bringing a gratifying change through
out the week, the most notable effect
being larger purchases in the promi-
nent retail lines and staples. Transac-
tons at wholesale Appropriated fair
proportions, the buying bulking best in
dry goods, suits, shoes and clothing

has been president for many years,
has just filed petition with the coun-
ty clerk asking for an attachment

Goes to Pembina County.

Cavalier Co. IN. d. Republican:
Before leaving yesterday Judge Knee
shaw announced that the case against
Messrs. Hartzell and Bascom had
been transferred to Pembina county
and the case against Hartzell would
begin about January 10, with that of
Bascom coming up later, possibly not
until sometime in February, owing to
a press of court business in that part
of the district.
Nothing definite was announced as
to what Judge would be called in, but
it is generally supposed that il Judge
Cowau can spare the time he will pre-
side at the trial of Hartzell at least
If he cannot act then Judge Fisk may
be called in if he can be scored at
that time. ....
Viewing the case from the stand
point of the defense there are many
who are inclined to believe that a mis-
take was made when a change of venue
was asked for, but be that as it may.
time alone can tell what the outcome
of the case will be.
