A blind tiger keeper on the Rankin
Pike, near Jackson was killed by a
patron, H. V. Tarday, or Saturday
night last. That Rankin Pike seems
20 be an eye sore to the respectable
people in and about the state capital,
and all efforts to suppress lawlessness
in that vicinity seem futile.

MARSHALL TAKES ACTION.

Protects the North Dakota Farmer Against
Competition with Canadian Wheat.
Believing that the psople of North
Dakota are greatly injured in the
general appraisers decision, holding
Canadian frozen wheat dutiable at
ten per cent ad valorem instead of
twenty five cents per bushel, Con-
gressman Marshall took the matter
up by wire with the secretary of
agriculture and the secretary of the
treasury. Secretary Wilson replied
at once that he would take the matter
up with the treasury department, and
later the treasury department wired
that they would appeal from the
general appraisers decision, holding
Canadian frozen wheat dutiable at
ten per cent ad valorem, and pending
final decision in the courts duties will
be assessed twenty-five cents per
buskel as heretofore.
