to be charged for the maintenance of
prisoners in the county Jail here He
believes that the law provides that the
board shall be entitled to twenty-five
per cent of the receipts of the sheriff's

addition to Crookston. The Journal
says:

MUNICIPAL LIABILITY.

1t is fairly we'll settled principle
of law that permission of ice and snow
on the streets of city constitutes
municipal negligence for which it
would be liable in damages for per-
sonal injuries resulting therefrom. 1t
is true that to connect an injury re-
sulting from fall on an icy pave
ment directly with the accumulation of
the snow and ice is rather difficult
matter in legal practice. Courts how
ever, are gradually constituting the rule
of law in such cases more literally SO
that in some states the recognized rule
now is that if the ice exists, and the
city has not used reasonable diligence
in removing it, and personal injuries
are sustained by fall on the pave
ment, the municipality is bound in dam
ages. The courts of this state have not
gone SO far, but the municipal corpora
ton could at least be given serious
legal trouble for such injuries. The
conditions in a number of the cities of
this state are certainly deplorable dur
ing the greater part of the winter.
The first snow remains where it fell
on the pavements until the warm
zephyrs of spring send it into the gut
tiers as water. Walking becomes not
only inconvenient, but actually dan
gerous to limb and body. 1t takes but
a small effort on the part of each citi-
zen to keep the walk clean, and not
very serious effort on the part of mu-
nicipality to see that it is done, while
the comfort and convenience of the
pedestrian is immeasureably increased.
Ward county official life has been
decidedly strenuous recently. First
came the cancellation of Auditor Fa-
bricks official bond and the resultant
investigation of his Office This was
followed by the charge of malfeasance
in Office preferred against three of the
county commissioners by the auditor,
and on top of this a mandamus pro-
ceeding against the auditor to compel
him to sign a warrant which he con-
tends was not properly allowed by the
commissioners. With the arrest and
pending trial of Major Murphy for a
background for all this, it would seem
that holding office in Ward county is
not by any means pathway strewn
with

OF
RAILWAY WRECK
Fifty Injured in a B. & O. Col
liSiOn

Washington, Dec. 31.-An appal.
ling disaster, resulting in the death,
as far as can be learned Of 3S persons
and the injury of about so more, oc-
CURED about $50 o'clock on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Terra
Gotta, a suburb of Washington.
Frederick City, Md, local train No.
sc, on the point of starting from the
station, was run into by train made
up of eight empty passengers coaches,
bound from the west for Washington.
1t is said the engineer Of the empty
train had failed to see the red signal
indicating that another train was in
the block, and plunged ahead on
his mission of death.
A dense fog and drizzling rain
prevailed during the day and the
night, and to the inability of the en-
gineer of the rear train to see the
signal showing that another train was
in the block, is attributed the
cause of the accident The grade at
the place where the tragedy occurred
is downward and the tracks we're slip
perry. The Friedrich train, which is
run on Sundays only, is largely for
the accommodation of those who have
gone into the suburbs on Sundays
and for the benefit of church goers
who desire to attend services in
Washington at night. Presumably a
number of the latter were ON the
train. The train is scheduled to
reach Terra Gotta about 6:15 o'clock,
and was about on time last nightwhen
the crash came.
At-first, owing to the impenetra lie
fog, it was impossible to determine
the extent Of the disaster, and early
rumors placed the number of killed
at higher figures than those which
proved later to be accurate. When
the news reached Washington people
began to go to Tara Gotta, and many
who had relatives killed and injured
remained at the scene Of the wreck
until the special train conveyed th .
dead and injured to the city. An
earlier train that had been dispatched
to Terra Gotta brought the injured,
whose wounds had been hastily dress
ed. and they were sent to various
hospitals. Three died ON he way TO
the city and one death occurred in
one of the hospitals.

SETTLERS LOSE
THEIR LANDS
commissioners Give State Pref
erence in Appeal Case

One of the most important decisions
If the commissioner of the general
land office made in some time, is the
one Just rendered which affects
twenty eight persons in townships
I3 and Al range 2, east.
The first decision was that in which
Mike Short was defeated by the state
in an appeal from the decision of the
local office rejecting his application
for homestead entry on the northeast
! of section 10, township A, north
range 2, east. The local office re-
jected the application on the ground
that the land was within the territory
withdrawn by the state on its appli-
cation Of July Z, 1905. Short
claimed that he had lived continuous
ly on the land since June z 1905,
having bought his improvements
from a prior settler, Otto II. Oleson,
for s4OO on that day. The plat of
the survey of the land in controversy
was fled in the local office July 5,
1905, the survey application having
been made in 1889. The decision of
the local Office was upheld by the
commissioner because Short did
not reside on the land but a few days
before the survey plat was fled
and his application did not precede
that of the state, as the time spent on
the land by Oleson did not count for
Short, and the state was allowed so
days in which to make further with
drawals.
The local office received the APP
pications of seventeen settlers and the
state contested their right to the
land, defeating the following and
reversing the decision of the local
office, on the grounds of prior applica-
ton by the state. Those defeated
are: Louis Monson, Lula Showalter,
William G. Moore, Thee. Delisle, G.
W. Moore, Chas. N. Downie, Peter j.
Craig, Stephen A. Thorp, Geo. w.

CALL VOLIVA A ROBBER

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, general overseer of Zion City,
was denounced as Judas lscariot, !"
"devil" and "robber" by followers
of John Alexander Dowie during a
meeting attended by $500 prisons in
Zion tabernacle here last night. The
first interruption, which almost pre-
cipitated a panic In the audience, oc.
CURED when Vollva made a sarcastic
allusion TO Dowie. 'Shut up" or
dered a Dowieite in the audience ;
you're only dog. Two ushers
seized the accuser by the throat in an
effort to stihe his voice. GurRling
through the hands clasped over his
mouth, the disturber continued /:
Don't you mention John Alexander
Dowie's name again, you Judas Iscar-
lot, for he picked you out and made
half a man of you--the rest is
devil. A."
Soon after the disturber was silen.
oed an outburst followed Voliva's de
claration that he would distribute
pamphlets exposing the various
Masonic oaths. A third dramatic
sensation occurred when VolivR wslk
ed to the front of the platform and
asked one Of the followers Of Dowie
to shake his hand. The latter refus-
ed, declaring that be would not shake
hands with the devil. Voliya pre-
dicted that before another year had
passed he would have REQ rgauized
Zion City on a substantial basis.

Rays, Chas. o. Portfors, William
Helmer, James NJ. Brown. The
decision of the local office was upheld
in five of the cases on the grounds
that the settlers had made application
prior to that of the state and had
lived there before the application for
the survey was made. Those who
win are; John McCafery, Simon D.
Brady, James B. Foreman, Andrew
Laleade and Philip Landry.
In July, 1905, Walter D. Bond,
James w. Calkins, Chas. G. Weihm
and Thomas Coddingham made ap.
plication for homesteads in township
A. and were refused by the local
office on the grounds that the land
was Withdrawn by the state or was
railroad grant, They appealed and
commissioner of the general land
Office upheld the decision of the
local office In July, 1905, James
Raymond, VIM. R. Shoufel, Thomas
o. Miller, John j. Morrison, Henry
II. HIGHLAND and Elisha Lines, APP
pearing for the heirs of Wesley Lines,
deceased, made application for a
homestead entry and were refused by
the local Office on the grounds that
the land had been Withdrawn by the
state or was within the railroad
grant. They appealed to the general
land Office where the decision of the
local Office was upheld in the cases of
Raymond, Shoufer and Miller, but
reversed as to Morrison and the
heirs of Lines on the settlement pre-
vious to the application for the survey
and before the state made application
for the withdrawal of the land.
In the cases in which the state is
defeated, the state has a chance of
taking another, appeal as do the SET
tiers that we're defeated by the state
but this slight chance may not be
taken, as this is regarded as a final
decision.
