TIRE MAKERS KICKING
Railroads Running West From Chi.
eago Charged Making IN
reasons Rates.

Washington, Dee "A complaint di-
rected against railways operating west
from Chicago and charging unreasonable
and discriminatory rates in rubber tires
for bicycles and vehicles was filed with
the interstate commerce commission to-
day by the Fiske Rubber company or
Chico0ee. Mass
SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Dec. 93-The COM
plant is directed against the Atchison'
Topeka IL Santa Fe Railway company,
the Chicago * Northwestern Railway
company, the chicago, burbhg go q
Quincy Railway company thd chicago,
Milwaukee * 81. Paul Railway company
the Chicago, Rock Island x Pacific Rail-
way company, the Colorado Midland Rail-
way company the Denver & kio Cranes DC
Railway company the Great Northern
Railway company, the Missouri Pacific
Railway company. The Oregon Railway *
Navigation company the oregon snort
Line railroad. the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company and the Wisconsin Central
Railway company.
This complaint is one OF seven distinct
charges and is based on the ground that
the charges on rubber tires IN the terri
tory through which the defendant COM
panies operate is excessive, The excessive
charges are chiefly due TO classification.
In the southern territory rubber tires are
carried as first-clasS material, While III
the territory In which the defendant COM
panies operate a rate of two and one-halt
times the rate of first-class material is
charged, according as TO whether the tires
are inflated or debated. This rates makes
the charge on less than carload lots IN
the territory operated by the defendant
railroad companies in excess OF the eA-
press charges to the same point.
The action taken by the Fiske company
is not in any way connected with the
present railroad rate agitation, and its
only significance is in the classified ton
OF rubber tires in general. While the
Fiske Rubber company is the complain
ant In this case, practically all the rub
Der interests in the country are Interest,"
ell and are in sympathy with the move
ment and are parties TO this action.
The complaint filed by the Flske COM
pany is made with the view of bringing
the matter before a public tribunal, there
to discuss whether or not the rates 1T
present charged are excessive.

THE DEATH OF
OLD -FOUR TOES
Vests Biggest Silvertip Slain After
Desperate Encounter.
Denver Tinesl


Cody, Wyo.-Old -Four Toes, the
granddaddy siIyer-tip of the Jackson
Hole country. whose track alone for
twenty years has made the hearts Of
hunters beat faster and set their hands
a-trembling, is dead. But OLD Four
Tees died as he had lived-the king of
silver-tips, the patriarch of the for
est. The fight he put up but empha
sized his right to the title he bore.
Carrying ten 1910 soft-nosed bullets
his shoulder and hip shattered, a bull
let down his throat, the blood gushing
in a crimson torrent from three holes
in his side, a bullet in his chest, he
fought on his feet, without once fall
ing 20 his knees, until, weakened by
less OF blood. the eleventh bullet tore
his liver. Then, with a roar which
made the mountains reverberate, the
kings head dropped and he died.
Old Four Toes weight was close to
a ton the tat OH his back was seven
inches deep, the dried hide measured
twelve feet i'm length and nine feet
nine ipches from paw TO paw. His
chest was three feet across and the oil
from the taIlow, after a sackful of the
best had been removed, amounted to
thirty gallons.
