Is Satisfied With Dakota The Man
dan Republican says s: Mrs. Won
Steiger, who with her husband lived
at Wilton until a short time ago, and
whose husband was murdered by
Yaqui Indians in Mexico the past
winter, had foresworn Dakota as a
home and felt that she could never
live here again, and took up her
residence in California. She escaped
from the earthquake alive, but with
nerves so badly shattered that she
was unable to obtain rest until she
got back on terra firma"-as she
calls tin North Dakota. She re-
turned to Wilton this week and is
determined never to leave the state
again. .,..2 Z. ",ss'
Larron Case Sheriff Gradin of
Washburn came in from Fargo last
night with Alex Larron and went to
Washburn with, him this morning.
Larron is the horse thief lately re-
leased from the pen and taken to
Fargo for examination looking to ex-
tradition to Canada for crimes com
mitted there. The court commission
er held yesterday that the identified
ton of the man was not sufficient to
identify him with the crimes charged
in Canada, SO he was, discharged and
Immediately arrested, by. Sheriff
Gradin on a charge of grand larceny
committed in Mclean county at the
time he was at large after his escape
from the pen three years ago. It
seems likely Larron will soon be with
Warden Boucher again. =. ! I

| Railroad commissioners-The com
missioners were busy all day hearing
testimony and arguments in the case
of Dickinson VS.. Ames Elevator com.
pany. The dissention arose over an
alleged attempt of the company to
raise the dockage of some fax sold
them by complainant after an agree.
ment had been made as to the dock.
tage and Dickinson appealed to the
board of Railroad commissioners to
settle the matter. Assistant Actor
ney General Stevens appeared for the
state as represented by Dickinson and
made it interesting for the elevator
company, alleging that the offense
made it liable to lose it's license. :, Fin
ally a compromise was arrived at up
on the basis Of monetary settlement
and the commissioners awarded Dick
inson ssS damages. It looks as
though this was an attempt of the
elevator company to impose one Of
those hardships on grain raisers that
have been complained Of so many
times and that they made a mistake
in the man is evidenced from the
fight put UP by Mr.. Dickinson. This
is the first case Of the kind that has
come before the commission and it is
probable that the lesson will be
noted by tae elevator people general
y in the future and a square deal given
all around hereafter. Mr.. Dickinson
was fully justified in the eyes of the
commits comm 1isssion, it is evident from the
award, in making the protest and his
many friends here and in Cass county
will be glad to know he won out SO
handsomely. I II
