Nine members OF the Billings fire

terday to attend the state convention
of firemen which began it's proceed
ings there today. The meeting was
to have begun yesterday, but as an
act of courtesy to Billings it was de-
cided to postpone the opening session
one day.
For some reason they could not

Bond had assurance from those in a
position with the company to speak
authoritatively that when the time for
the convention arrived transportation
would be gladly provided for all the
local firemen who might care to at
tend the convention. Reliance was
placed in this and preparations were
made to send 10 or IL men. After
waiting until Monday morning for the
expected passes without receiving
them the company made a canvass
and found nine who were willing to
go at their own expense. They were

would expect the directors to take
steps as. soon as possible either to dis
solve the combination or otherwise
bring it in conformity with the law.
The president expressed the hope
that this would be done voluntarily,
and he assured Mr.. Rogers that 10
suit would be brought to compel such
action until reasonable time had
elapsed or until it became apparent
that there was an intention to defy
the law.
After this reasonable time had
elapsed, the president declared, every
corporation which had failed to adjust
itself to the law would be prosecuted,
and il it caused a Wall street furry,
it would be because he was obeying
his oath of Office, and he could not
be accused Of having disregarded the
interests of investors.

Mr.. Rogers attempted to convince him
that he was wrong. 1t was Impractical

Mr.. Roosevelt replied that he had

Professor e. T. Harper, of Chicago,

WEBSTER CITY SCANDAL
County Sup't Gerber and City
Sup't Ford Engage In
Fistic Encounter

Owing to Prof. Ford's Physical condi-

pecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republcan
Webster City. May .1S.-All Webster
City was shocked to the core last even
ing when a report spread like wild fire
about the city that County Superinten-
dent l.. N. Gerber, and City Superin-
tendent of Public Schools Professor L.
III. Ford had had a fierce personal en-
counter and that the latter had been
pounded into insensibility and carried
to his home in a precariouS condition.
The encounter occurred In Professor
Ford's office. in the high school build
ing and later as authentic reports of
the affair could be had it was found
out that the first reports had not been
exaggerated in the least. When first
reports of the matter were given out
the people were loathe to believe them.
That two men occupying the positions
that Profs. Ford and Gerber do, should
sacrifice the dignity of their high call
ing by indulging in fight seemed in
credible. 1t was true, nevertheless, and
though two physicians worked over him
Professor Ford did not regain con-
seriousness until an early hour this
morning. He was then conscious but
twenty minutes. when he dozed off
again. Owing to his condition but little
can be learned of the affair.
The patient is better today, and it
is believed the danger point is passed.
Owing to Professor Ford's physical
condition it is impossible to get his
version of the affair at the present
time Those who seem to know any
thing about the facts in the unfortu-
nate affair, scout the claim of Pro-
fessor CARRIER that no fight took place.
Their statement of the case disagrees
widely with Mr.. CARRIERS account.
Many rumors and all kinds OF stories
have been a float in regard to trouble
but as to the reliability of any of these
reports it is impossible to say until the
matter is finally sifted by the proper
authorities. No arrests have been made
and no hint given as to any possible ac-
ton which either of the men may take
in a legal way.
Professor Ford came to Webster City
from the state Of Minnesota where he
bore the reputation of being one of the
best educators in the state. He has been
here three years No fault has ever
been found with his methods in the
school room The final outcome Of the
sensational affair will be awaited with
much interest.
