La Rue Told tho Reporter q Pathetic
Story.

The following is taken from the Bis
marck Tribune of January "a:
"Moses La Rue was brought in from
Medora Tuesday by Sheriff Reid and
States Attorney Keohane of Billings
county, and taken before Judge VIM
chester, where he pleaded guilty to the
unlawful killing OF two beeves belong
ing to a cattleman. He was sentenced
ito two years and three months in the
p%enitentiary and began his term yester;;
day. La Rue's. case has a pathetic
side to it. He had a small band Of
sheep in Billings county and was strug-
Egling to exc out a living. He had
trouble with. cattlemen over the range
and one night all his sheep we're shot
and killed, he claims. by the cattle,nen,
but Of which he has no proof. In re.
prisal he killed the first cattle that came
bis way. He was very Respondent and
while here said all he had in the world
had been destroyed and he might as
we'll go to the pen as anywhere else.
II. his story is true, and it seems to be,
it is another illustration of how might
makes right" in this world. Had La:
Rue been able to pay detectives and
Iawyers'he doubtless would have been
able to run down and punish the men
who. though equally. guilty as he, are
now free, while he Ianguishes behind
the bars, and the range is rid of him and
his hated sheep" 49,
The forgoingis La Rue's story, and it
must be taken into consideration that he
was seeking to get as light, a sentence
as possible from the, judge. Those
who nave known him for some years,
however, tell a very different story. =
Nose La Rue is single and about 50
years of age. He dropped into this
~country 5 or 6 years ago, and he has
never seemed to, amount to anything.
Its said that he had a mania for, erect
ing cabins on government land at points
where he could bother some stockman
who had been settled in the locality for
many years, and in this way he would
force the stock raiser TO buy him,>out
In one instance near Yule La Rue sold
out his cabin and rights, supposedly in
good faith. Instead Of keeping faith
with the stockgrower, it is. said that La.
Rue built another CABIN just across the
river, flew rods from the place he had
The cattle La Rue killed belonged to
IL, F. crawaotd. cashier o the Inter
state Bank of Billings county. ~ho has
1.-THE reputation of doing only what. IL
right with everyone.
The sheep story also needs a little
explanation. Charles Colgrove Of Dick
inson put a small band out with La Rue
and SO it was Colgrove who sustained
the loss. the other fellow having every
thing to gain and nothing to lose. 1t is
true that quite a number of the sheer
we're killed and it is supposed that the
cowboys were the cause of the depreda'
ton. 1t is also supposed that La Rue
had some blame in the matter, Col
grove took the remnants of his ban6
away last fall.

Ed the Mach1n1st

the need is ever the same, and relief
is usually found in the simple, manly
message of love and sympathy, mani
tested in the life of the fellow who
works by our side. At least, it will
help, for it is doing just what the
Great Carpenter did, and what He
would continue to do were He upon
earth. That's what made Douglas, the
machinist, bigger factor in the lives
of those two Thousand workingmen
than any other single Individual. 1t
paid him, too. Anyway, you'd think
so if you could see his face while he
worked-worked for men and for God
just as machinist.-Rev. Charles

HONOR TO UNIoNIsM.
Mayor Schmitz's Record a Source Of
Pride to Labor.

If ever a man was put to the grand
test, that man is Mayor Schmitz of
San Francisco. No more trying situa-
ton could be conceived, no greater
strain; no condition of affairs more
calculated to show whether or not he
is big man in a big place. -
Reports which come are of most
fiattering nature. Schmitz, has taken
hold of an awful situation and made
the best of bad business. Even news
sources not particularly friendly to
him have been forced to admit that his
administration of affairs in this dis
aster has been all that could be de-
sired.
He has shown that he possessed a
cool head, strong hand and a warm
heart. Schmitz is civic novelty. He
is the patron OF no political party, hav-
ing been elected on labor union tick
et., Naturally his enemies were many,
and only those familiar with. the af-
fairs of San Francisco know the bit
terness of the fight against him.
When San Francisco has expert
enced the worst of her sufferings
Schmitz will have emerged stronger
than ever, for his handling of the big
disaster. In these times of trouble ell
previous differences have been for
gotten, and his bitterest opponents
have worked with him heart and soul.
And he lost no time, in appointing such
as these on the relief committee.-The
Reveille, Butte, Mont.

PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE RIGHT
Men Who Have BuiIded Homes De:
serve Some Little Consideration.

Men Who Have Builded Homes De-
serve Some Little Consideration.
Have the men who have builded,
their little homes by honest toll no
rights which the city council of Lin
coin is bound to consider? This cues
ton naturally arises When one investi-
gates the conditions surrounding the
lumber shed proposed in Block 4, Lin
coin Driving Park, Second sub-Divi-
sion. The city council has granted a
permit for the erection OF lumber shed
78x136 feet in size on this block. On
this block there are eighteen houses,
all but four of them modern, and all
but three or four occupied by their
owners. Nearly every man living in
this block works at some trade, and
his home represents the savings of
years of toll. Now it is proposed to
erect an unsightiy lumber shed the en-
tire length of the block, shutting off
both view and air, endangering the
residence property and providing a
death trap at the Rock Island grade
crossing at Nineteenth and r streets
The shed is projected TO run along the
Rock Island track and extend to the
lot line at each end. At the speed
which Rock Island trains maintain
there both crossings will be practically
death traps. The shed violates the
city ordinances. The permit is for
shed sixteen feet high, yet the shed is
higher than that. The city ordinances
read as follows:
Article XXV-Fire-Se s: No per-
son without first obtaining a permit
from the city council therefor, shall
hereafter establish or keep any lum-
Der yard or place for the storage or
piling or deposit of lumber for sale, in
quantity exceeding 10000 feet, upon
land within the fire limits of the city
Sec. 9: No lumber shall be piled
for the purpose of storage, seasoning
or drying the same, within fifty feet
of any planning mill, or Woodworking
mandatory, nor within fifty feet of
any private residence, unless the same
has been erected since the establish
ment' Of such yard.
Despite this plain provision this shed
is within eighteen feet of two resi-
dences built long before the shed was
projected.
The Wageworker calls the attention
of it's readers to the fact that this shed
will seriously injure twelve or fourteen
union men who have built homes in
that block. Their union brothers owe
it to them to give them help in prevent
ing this outrage. The councilmen who
seem ready to violate the city laws and
their own oaths should be given to I'M
derstand that in this matter the in
jured union men are going to have the
support of their union brothers. The
councilman who countenances this out
rage is going to have some almighty
difficult explaining to do to the union
lists of this city when the next city
election comes around.

He had no particular talent He was
just an ordinary machlnist. But Ed.
Douglas was more highly respected by
the two thousand men in the shop
than any other, chap IN the place. His
was one of the few names that were
familiar to pretty nearly every fellow
working in that big plant. Ed. was
not popular with the men because ne
/ set out to make himself popular by
always agreeing with his shop-mates.
Indeed, he frequently went full tilt
! against their opinions, and, principal
ly, against their actions. Often
have seen him approach the fellow
who had just ripped out string of
oaths, ard rebuke him, although never
with a suggestion of pharisaical SUI
premacy He was simply trying to
show the blasphemer that it would pay
him to cut out his foolish, senseless
swearing.
He did not belong to any of the
fraternal organizations, but l have
known him to spend many a night
with a sick shop-mate. Frequently he
left in the home part of the not over
abundant cash in his pocket, but, bet
ter than that he left smile on the
face of the tired, discouraged nurse
wife-the children wished that he
might come again, and che sick man
felt the cheer of his presence.
He was an arbitrator in personal dis
putes in the shop. and the boys never
repudiated his decisions. Not infre-
quertly he dared approach the boss iE
behalf of supposedly wronged fellow
workman. The. boys admired his dis
interested nerve Somehow, he seemed
| to know when the rest of us had met
|discouragements which made life seem
hard. Always was there a strong,
cheerful wore which usually braced
| up the fellow who thought that the
| thought that the whole world had gone
wrong. The apprentices were part.cu-
larly fond of him, because he appeared
| to have a lively interest in their af-
fairs. Never did he seem to hand out
wisdom in large chunks, with an air OF
patronage or paternalism. Never was
there a suspicion of cant. Ed. was
just sane, healthy-minded, strong
hearted Christian workingman, who
felt that there was place for Chris
tian living outside OF the church build
ing, and away from the Sunday SER
vices.
| May his kind increase. We need
them. The sympathetic touch of a
shop-mate counts for more than most
of us imagine. Every morning brings
its weight of woe, and every evening
| its burden. No matter whst the cause.

GEORGE BEARD DIES
OF RECENT INJURIES
Young Man Was Badly Burned BY oil
Explosion at His Home on
First Avenue.

George Beard, the young man who was
so severely burned some days ago by tho
explosion of an oil can, died last night at
a late hour at the st. Vincent's hospital
from the fleets of his injuries.
In addition to the physicians and the
nurses, there were present at the death
bed, his young wife and his sister. Mr.
Beard had only been married two or three
months, and his terrible fate has caused
a shock to his friends and relatives 1t
is said that the father of the deceased is
In very poor health, and that grave fears
are entertained for his life since the de-
mise of his son.
George Beard was burned at his home
on First avenue about a week ago, and
has been lying at the St. vincent's hos
pital in a precarious condition since that
time. 1t is said that he was attempting
to relight fire which he had supposed
had gone out, and was pouring oil on the
kindling to facilitate its burning. A
slight flame still remained, however, and
the oil caught fire. causing the can to
explode, and throwing the flaming liquid
on the young man. He was hurried to
the hospital but medical attention was
of no avail, and his death has been con-
stantly expected.
The body is being prepared for burial by
Shaw & Sons and will be sent to Mount
Pinson tomorrow morning for interment.

JIM JOHNSON WAS
SHOT In STOMACH
WOUNDED MAN, WHO WAS SHOT
SATURDAY NIGHT, WAS IN sERI-
Gus CONDITION AND NOT EX-
PEcTED TO LIVE LAST NIGHT.

Jim Johnson of Morris was shot in the
stomach at that place on last Saturday
night at about 1920 o'clock by a man
whose name could not be learned. He is
not expected to live.
According to the account received. Mr.
Johnson was operating a y-go-round
which was being patronized by the usual
Saturday night crowd. In some way, it
is alleged. he got into dispute with
the other man over a ticket, when the
latter drew a revolver and fired. The
wounded man was brought to Birming-
ham yesterday afternoon and carried in
the ambulance of Lige 10y to the Davis
inflrmary. His limbs were paralized and
he was in a very low condition. On ex-
animation, the physicians decided that it
would be impracticable to perform an
operation for the removal of the bullet
owing to the seriousness of the man s
wound. His condition was reported as be-
ing extremely grave at a late hour last
night.
1t Is said that a matter other than
the ticket was the cause of the dispute.
