Boys Ran Away.

The three boys of Mr.. and Mrs.
Eli Weatherly, of Big Stone,
who were being held in this city
pending the hearing the last of
the month as to sending them to
the home at Sioux Falls, took a
sudden departure Wednesday
and have not been seen since.
1t is thought they made for Min
nesota soil as fast as possible, as
they would then be out of the
reach of the authorities of South
Dakota, without going to consid-
cradle expense, which is not at
all likely. The boys were board.

sawed timber?
Because drags so made have ten
dency to slip over the bumps.
Don't you grade up the road first?
No. The grading is done with the
drag, gradually. By so doing, the
road is solid all the time and is built
on a. solid foundation.
What does it cost to drag mile of
road year?
The cost is variously estimated
from one to three dollars.
How do you keep the drag from
lodging around sidewise?
By not loading it too heavily. If a
drag doges around the earth you are
moving, it is because it is overloaded.
Will the dragged road stand heavy
hauling?
Yes and no. A dragged road will
stand more heavy hauling than an
undragged road, but not so much as a
macadamized or well-kept gravel road.

NEARLY ALL BONES
BROKEN BY TRAIN
j. ANTHONY MCGEE, TRAVELLING
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
LEDGER, WAS STRUCK BY A. G.
S. TRAIN AT cOTToNDALE.

Almost every bone in ]. Anthony Mo
Gees body was broken by a fast train
on the Alabama Great Southern railroad
at Cottondale yesterday morning His
body was brought to Birmingham on the
train he expected to board for this city.
He was a travelling representative of the
Birmingham Ledger, and had written
that he would reach Birmingham yester-
day. While 1t is known that he has a
number of relatives in this state, his
body will remain at the undertaking
establishment of Shaw & Son until more
complete particulars of his immediate
family are learned.
1t is believed by those who saw the
accident that Mr.. MCGEE mistook the
fast train for the accommodation and
thought 1t would stop at the Cottondale
depot Going upon this supposition, 1t is
thought, the travelling man simply glanced
In the direction of the approaching train
and started across the tracks. He evil
IDENTIFY thought it would stop before it
reached him. 1t was the fast train, how
ever, and it was running late, and before
any one realized what had happened it
struck him. When the train was stop
ped and his body picked up it was almost
as limp as if 1t were homeless. 1t was
placed on the train, brought to Birmng
ham and turned over to the undertaken
Examination showed that both arms
were broken, every rib shattered, his
legs crushed, cheek bones fractured, and
in fact almost every bone broken. :
Mr.. MCGEE came to Birmingham about
one year ago and secured place as
travelling representative of the Ledger.
He had been on a trip for about one
month and was expected back yesterday.
He came here from Sulligent, where he
has a number of relatives He also has
family connections at Avondale. At one
time he was postmaster at Fruthurst,
where he has sister. While he never
had a charge 1t is said, he had license

MAYOR HAS POWER
TO MAKE ARRESTS
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE CITY
CAN DEPuTlZE ANY CITIZEN TO
AID IN ARREsTINe vlolAToE
OF LAW.

The arrest and conviction of William
Carter, a negro, employed by the Caro-
lima Portland Cement company, develops
the fact that the mayor not only has
the right to make arrests. but is vested
with the authority to deputize any cti-
zens to make an arrest. Failure to act
on the call of the mayor may cause any
citizen to be arrested and fined for fall
ure to aid in keeping the public peace.
Carter is the negro who refused to stop
his dray Thursday night when so ordered
by the mayor, who was in a buggy at
the time. The wagon had contained lime
and the wind was blowing in every direc-
ton. When the negro refused to stop at
the command of the mayor, he handed the
reins to his secretary, B. A Pepperman,
alighted from his buggy and jumped on
the dray after the negro. The fright
ened driver jumped from his dray, but
the mayor was right after him and caught
him before he went very far
When Judge Feagin learned the cir
cumstances yesterday he fined the negro
SIS and told him that it was lucky the
mayor arrested him or he might have
been charged with resisting an officer.
The judge lectured the negro about
strewing lime through the streets, and
told him that it would go harded with
him if he should be arrested again for
a similar offense.
One of the officers of the cement COM
pany called at the station and paid the
fine. 1t was then that the question of
the mayors power to arrest arose, and
after the fine was settled, the law set
ting forth the duties of the mayor was
looked up. It empowered him to see that
the city laws are obeyed at all time and
authorities him to deputize any citizen at
any time to assist him in arresting vio-
latorS.

Rogers which surmounts the pedestal.
The statue, like the pedestal is of ma

Comment on the finished work was
varied, but mostly unfavorable For
some reason the location, the pedestal
and the figure itself do not strike pop

sculptor, a Mr.. Field, of British Co

any rate, the entire statue is now

will remain so until the unwilling at

OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE,
Republicans Are In Control for First

GUTHRIE, Okla, Jan. 9.-The Ok
lahoma legislature met today with the
republicans, for the first time in many
years, in control of both houses. In
anticipation of early statehood for the
territory it is expected that the pres
ent session will consider little or no
new legislation. Instead, it will con-
fine it's efforts to the betterment of
existing statutes, making desirable
amendments to the present laws gov
erning insurance, banking and other
matters. Governor Ferguson, in his
annual message, calls particular at
tention to the necessity of establishing
the territorial cattle quarantine line
so that it will embrace the Usage In
dian nation and the extension of the
herd law so as to include Beaver coun-
ty, the only county in the territory in
which the herd law is not operative.

AGAINST GEORGE WOODS IN
DAYTON COURT.
Is a Sequel to the Sad Tragedy That
Occurred Near Waitsburg
Last Year.

Eight thousand dollars damages for
the death of his baby, is the sum
asked for in a suit began in the Co
lumbia county superior court by Perry
Abbey against George Woods, a well
known farmer of Waitsburg. The suit
which will be tried at the January
term of court is a sequel to sad
tragedy that occurred near Waitsburg
last year, when Woods allowed his
team to get away and run over Mrs.
Abbey, who with her baby was driving
along the country road.
Mrs. Abbey was badly bruised by
being thrown out of the rig and when
her baby was picked up it was dead.
1t was alleged at the time that Mr..
Woods was intoxicated and showed
criminal carelessness in losing control
of his team. Owing to the prominence
of all the parties concerned the trial
is expected to attract considerable at
tention. Numerous witnesses have
been subpoenaed on both sides and a
bitter contest is expected to result.

keny's friendship and support.
Conditions Chance.

Political promises are not supposed
ton whether or not Mr.. Ankeny would
remember Pierces support of him.
Furthermore, many politicians thought
that the senator would rather elect
Sweeny this time in order that the
latter would not try to win four years
from now, when Ankeny comes up for
-e-election. Others said that Ankeny
would make a tie-up with Wilson in
order to get little newspaper court
esq during the next four years.
And even Piles had hopes, and sent
a delegation headed by State Senator
J. J. Smith to Walla Walla to inter-
view the venerable senator in his be-
half But Mr. Ankeny did not COM
nit himself Thus things stood when
Mr. Ankeny few days ago declared

Of course, Ankeny will not cut the
big figure in the coming fight that ne
would have done if his former man
ager, George Stevenson, had not ac-

fight. Stevenson controls many men
who are called Ankeny men.
D. B. Croker, collector of internal
revenues, who has more influence with
Ankeny than anybody else, is supposed
to be against Foster, but it is stated
that the politicians have succeeded in
getting him to quit the state during
the contest He will, it is said, go to
California for the winter. If he does
It will strengthen Ankeny's hand, and
