KILLED BY THE CARS.
Mother an Eye Witness to the Decapi
tation of Her 1oYear- Old Duaeh-
ter at Cherokee.

Cherokee, Ia, March 22.-Before the
mortified gaze of her mother, sisters
and brothers and fifty others on the
depot platform here this morning, the
lO-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
FRANK Perry was killed by the incom-
ing !lllnois Central flyer from Chicago.
Her head was severed entirely from the
body.
Mrs. Perry and several children were
about to take the northbound train.
which stood on the second track from
the station for Window. Mimi, where
Mr.. Perry had recently gone to estab-
lish new home. Dan Rhode of this
city, at whose house the Perrys stayed
last night, had just crossed the track
with his little daughter to the north
bound train to see about getting the
Perrys comfortably situated in the train
and the little Perry girl followed not
noticing the incoming train.
Though a score of hands We're ex-
tended to help her and shouts of warn
ing rent the morning air, the powerful
engine rushed over the little child and
she was dead. The incident was most
affecting one for besides the horror of it
the pathetic grief Of the mother and re-
naming children moved many to
fearful show of emotion.
MIR. Perry was communicated with at
Window, Minn., by telephone and he
will come here to night. Mrs. Perry is

TEXAS TICK TRIAL.
Suit Against Railroad Company won
by Cattlemen.

Des Moines. Ia, March 21.-After a
two weeks trial and a three-day argu-
ment, the famous Texas tick" case
went to the jury yesterday afternoon,
and after short deliberation verdict
of $4,000 for the plaintiff was returned.
The suit was brought by the Dor,
Cattle company against the Chicago
Great Western railway on a claim for
$4,000 damages alleged to have been
sustained by the plaintiff by reason OF
the placing of some three or four car
loads of its cattle in pens infected with
the Texas tick" The claim of the
plaintiff is that the value of the cattle
was so diminished by the infection that
it lost considerable amount, and that
1t was all due to the negligence of the
company which. the plaintiff claims,
had no business to place its cattle In
infected pens.
The defense was In the nature Of an
alibi for the ticks, in that the company
had striven hard to prove that the cat
tie of the plaintiff were never at any
time in the pens where the ticks were
known to have been, and that the COM
pany gave the plaintiffs property all
reasonable care.

TO OPPOSE: APOSTLES.
Younger Element of Mormons Band
Together to Secure Observance of
Polaamy Law.

Salt Lake, Utah, March 24.-Five
hundred young Mormons have united
to secure the enforcement of the
pledges against polygamy given to
the government when Utah became q
state: These young Mormons are par
ticularly vehement in their assertion
that the law must be obeyed by the
members of the Mormon hierarchy as
we'll as by other citizens.
They are thoroughly American, and
they are no: at all pleased by the
a result OF the disclosures at the
Smoot hearing. They We're as much
surprised by the testimony of Presi-
dent Smith as were the Gentle of the
east 4
The movement to suppress polyg-
amous practices has been secretly
going on for week. 1t is stated
that the denouement will come at
the April conference of the Saints
The young Mormons will serve notice
that they will leave the church in a
body unless President Smith and other
high priests cease to violate the law.
Mrs. Elizabeth 1So1npe, a German
emigrant, who receitly arrived here.
has set forth in an affidavit what she

future prosecutions of trusts under
the Sherman act. the government au.
thorities must keep in mind the opin-
ion of Justice Brewer, and be pre-
pared to convince him that the COM
bination assailed is one which is un-
reasonable within the intention of the
trainers of the antitrust statute.
For 1t goes without saying that any
case of this sort will be fought up
through the lower courts. and will have
to stand the test of final Judgment by
the nine justices of the United States
supreme bench. And. II the attorney
general fails to convince Mr.. Justice
reasonable, he will give his judgment
in the negative. and will be supported
by the four justices who, for different
reasons, are unwilling to regard the
Sherman statute as valid: in which
event the prosecution would fail.
Believes Trusts illegal.
Attorney General Knox has little doubt
in his own mind as to the illegality of q
number of great combinations and con-
spiracies In restraint Of trade, and does
not hesitate to believe that, judged by
the conservative test prescribed by Mr..
Justice Brewer. they will be found in vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust act. But.
even in the most nagrant cases 1t is neces-
sary to be very careful In the prepara ton
of proof.
The department of commerce and la
bor acting through its bureau of corpor-
ations. will continue the work in which 1t
has been engaged for number of months,
collecting data and evidence to be sub
mitted to the president and the depart
ment of Justice; and when it appears to
the lawyers of the latter department that
a good case can be made. suits will be
started. In no case will prosecutions be
commenced without adequate evidence.
for the president and attorney general
feel that it would have most unfortunate
effect for any such prosecution to fail.
1t is perfectly apparent from what has
been said that no wholesale prosecutions
are to follow as a result of this decision.
The minor contracts in partial restraint
of trade" as they are termed by Mr. JUS
ttce Brewer, are certainly not in danger
of interference by government officials.
for they are not regarded as unreasonable.
On the other hand the larger contracts
and conspiracies which stamp out compe-
tition and monopolize trade, will feel the
full force of the law just as rapidly as
evidence of character to convict can be
gathered by the government officials.
AS to what particular trust or trusts
will come next, nobody knows not even

OF Great Benefit to Indians.

Pierre. S. D., March 24.-The leasing
of Indian lands on the Rosebud reser-

with the policy followed on the Chey-

will help to keep the Indians of the
southern part of the state in funds.
With their lease money and that given
them by the government for road build
ing they ought to become self support

to become so. Many of the progress

their severalty tracts to good use by
fencing them and beginning to turn
their attention to the raising Of corn,
oats and other crops which can be
marketed without long haul to rail-
road. The leasing Of surplus lands is
