FIGHT FOR RAILROAD.
Suits Pending Indicate Long Litiea-
tion in Missouri River Line.

Suits Pending Indicate Long Glti9a-
tion in Missouri River Line.
Rapid City, S. D., March "a fight
is now on involving the ownership
and title to the Missouri River &
Northwestern railroad, and it looks
as if the road will be involved in eX-
tensive litigation. There are two cas-
es now in the supreme court at WASH
ington, and they will come up for trial
next month. If w. T. Coad and asso-
ciates, who are bringing the suits, are
successful, it is expected that the
Northwestern and the Milwaukee will
acquire possession of the road.
This is the road which has just
been completed between this city and
Mystic, and is considered valuable
piece of property. A suit recently de-
cided by Judge Garland on technical
grounds, is being appealed to the Unit
ed States court of appeals at St Paul
1t is also stated that another suit is
about to be started in the United
States circuit court for the purpose OF
foreclosing an old mortgage of the
Dakota & wyoming Railroad company,
now amounting to about $350,000. This
mortgage has never been foreclosed.
An attempt was made several years
ago to cut 1t out, but the action was
dismissed by Judge Gardner of this
city, and two years after, the case was
revived, but the trustee of the mort
gage, 1t is said, was given no notice
of any kind.
The outcome of these various suits
will be watched with much interest

III Treatment Of Homeless Boy.

III Treatment Of Homeless Boy.
States Attorney NJ. NJ. Wilson was in
Vershire Friday and Saturday, Investigate
ing the case Of Alexander Schemmerhorn,
a lad nine years old, who was sent from
the Home for Destitute Children in Bur-
lington to William +. Bragg Of Fairlee
over year ago.
Sometime since il came to the knowl-
edge of his former guardians that the boy
was not receiving decent treatment and a
communication was addressed to the local
authorities with the idea Of having him
returned to the Home. The authorities
supposed for a while that the poor wait
had been sent back to Burlington, but
later found out he was with Bragg's
brother in Thetford, whittier Bragg him
self intended to remove.
Alexander was then taken 10 James
Roberts In Vershire, where he would be
kindly cared for. and a complaint was en-
tered with the states attorney. The hear
ing was held April and before Justice
Fuller, and the evidence disclosed that the
child, though slight and understood, had
been obi ped to saw wood, sometimes un-
til late at night, and after his task was
done had had to creep INTO the haynow 10
sleep because the family, fastening up the
house while he was at work, had retired
for the night. HIS apparel was insuifl-
instead of pants and had no undercloth-
ing. The barefoot season, too, extended

was preferable TO sudden taklng-on IN
that manner.
Such heartiess treatment OF a homeless
boy seems hardly credible and is the more
inexplicable when it is known that the
Braggs have children of their own, their
natural affection for whom should, u
would seem, have softened them a lutte
toward the small stranger under theli
