Kansas City Merchants Had ne
esived s15O,OOO as "Claims"-NO
Evidence to Hold Crosby.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 26.-The
government finished its side Of the
rebate case Thursday afternoon in the
trial Of George H. Crosby, George L.
Thomas and L. B. Taggart. indicted
by the grand Jury last December for
alleged conspiracy.
The testimony to the present has
shown that In 1903 and 1904 Kansas
City merchants received approximate
ly S150,00O from Thomas, from some Of
his employees or from a mysterious
source" But none Of these merchants
kept any record apparently Of the
transactions.
When the government rested Judge
o. M. Spencer. Of counsel for the Ge-
Tense, moved demurrers to the evidence
as TO ali the defendants and asked
the court to order the release Of Cros-
by on the ground that no evidence had
been presented that would warrant
a conviction for conspiracy.
The court sustained the demurrer
Of Crosby's counsel holding that no
evidence had been presented to connect
Crosby with a conspiracy as charged
In the indictment returned last De-
cember by the grand jury. This indlct-
ment charged that Crosby had conspir-
ed with George L. Thomas, a freight
broker. and L. B. Taggart, his clerk,
to pay rebates to certain persons.
At 2 O'Clock Friday afternoon Judge
ordered that the case Of
Thomas and Taggart must go to the
Jury. This is based on the Indictment
hat charges Thomas and Taggart with
with shippers to obtain and
pay rebates. Judge Mcpherson sus-
aimed the demurrer Of the defense to
he evidence In the case in which
Thomas and Taggart were charged
With conHpiring with George H. Crosby

G. n. TRAIN S IN CRASH
Fatal Collision AT 6 o'clock This Morning Two
Miles Northwest of Crookston Between Lidht

Train-One Dead And Five Injured Binding
Blizzard Prevented Engineers From Seein69Ap-
preaching Trains.

In head-on collision this morning
two miles north of Crookston, on the
Great Northern railroad, one man was
killed and five men were injured,
more or less seriously. The wreck
occurred at o'clock a. m. in a blind
ing blizzard, the west bound freight
train, No. AIS and caboose and an
engine running east being in the
crash, which completely blocked
traffic over the line during the day.
D. v. JOHNSON, a fireman living in
Crookston. was the man killed. At
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon his re-
mains had not been taken from the
wreckage. The men injured were:
Engineer B. Arnold, Crookston,
ankle broke.
Engineer Cride. bruised.
Conductor VIM. Denick, bruised
and frozen.

frozen.

Train No. s, from Minneapolis and

sent here from Crookston over the

afternoon. The wreck is near the St.
Vincent junction of the Great North

ed up that way.
Both trains were going fast, and
in the darkness and the storm. the
crews probably did not see each other
until they were almost together. The
engine running with the caboose was
one Of the large type. and it COM
pletely smashed the smaller engine.

Just where the blame for the wreck
lies could not be learned. The en-
gineer Of 415, Arnold, claims to have
had an order to meet the engine at
Hixon, which is further up the line.
The men on arriving in Crookston
were SO benumbed with cold that it
was impossible for them to give many
of the details of the affair. A special
train went out from Crookston as
soon as the report came in, and the
conductors of the two crews took
charge Of the work about the wreck
for time. Finally, however, owing
to their injuries and the severe cold
and the binding snow storm, they
were obliged to discontinue the work.
The freight train crew seems to have
met with the most serious. injury, the
fireman who was killed being On that
engine. Several of the cars back of
the engine piled up in the wreck, and

Amid q profusion Of flowers which

their last tribute of respect to the

the eternal keeping Of the Exalted

Exalted Ruler NJ. Stanchfield opened

The other features Of the ritualistic
service were observed, and when the
secretary called the name Of the de-
parted brother and announced that he
had passed into the light which lies
beyond the valley of the shadow Of
death, there were many who could not
realize that one who but a few days

xigor Of manhood's prime could now
lie before them cold in the embrace

HAWKES. HERE TO TESTIFY
Bemidji Lumberman Told Story Of
How He Was Robbed by Nelson
In the District Court.

Richard Hawke, the Bemidji lumber
man was in Grand Forks yesterday for
the purpose Of telling the story of
how he was robbed here this fall by
a man named Nelson, who was con-
vtcted.
The robbery was committed last
September, when Mr.. Hawkes. was in
Grand Forks securing men for the
Crookston Lumber company. He had
hired sixty-five men and was given a
special car in which to send his la
borers to Bemidjf. "Dick" entered the
car to ascertain IL all Of his proteges
were on hand, when he discovered that
five men whom he had not hired were
also aboard as passengers eastward
bound. He politely told them to leave
the car. At the same time train
backed a sleeping car against the
private "lumberjack" car with such
force that Mr.. Hawkes. was knocked
to the floor, and two Of the unlimited
passengers set upon him and one took
away his pocketbook. They were ar
rested shortly afterwards.

JUG 800 MILES
Customs Official Gill of Portal Had
Amusing Experience in q
Smuggling Episode.

H. N. Gill, deputy customs inspector
for the U. 8. government at Portal,
N. D., has been spending several days
in the city attending the sessions of
the United States court. Mr.. Gill was
one of the witnesses in a whiskey
smuggling case, he having caused the
arrest Of the guilty party. In con-
versation with an Evening Times re-
porter Mr.. Gill told of some of his
experiences with smugglers in the
vicinity of his port of entry. Portal
is peculiarly situated-half of the
town standing in the United States
and the other half in King Edwards
domain and because of this fact 1t is
doubly hard to detect smuggling in
it's every phase. However. enough
arrests are made to put a sevare
check on the practice.
Mr.. Gill told of 300-mile chase
after jug of whiskey. Several weeks
ago he was engaged in his routine
task Of inspecting baggage in 800"
car when large jug covered with
a cloth was thrust into the door
way. When Mr.. Gill got around to
the jug he jerked the stopper and
detected the strong odor of choice
Canadian whiskey. He replaced the
stopper and waited for claimant.
The train reached South Portal and
still no owner appeared so the in
