HEAPS OF TROUBLE.
Has BEEN Year of Trials for Railroad
Officials

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-The year 1906
will be long remembered as one Of
great trials and tribulations for rail
WAYS and railway officials that had
broken the laws. Partaking of the zeal
displayed by President Roosevelt and
his administration in moving against
law breakers. and further stimulated 10
action by the direct orders from At
tornev- General Moody, and even from
the President himself, the various Fed
eral District Attorneys during the year
have prosecuted more legal proceedings
against railroads and their officials than
ever before within an equal period in
the history of the country
Most Of these suits were brought for
violations of the Elkins law, against
giving or receiving rebates, and in most
Instances they were instituted not only
against the railways and their officials.
who gave rebates, but also against the
individuals or corporations that solicited
or accepted them.
In most instances prosecutions were
successful The fines assessed aggregate
many hundreds of thousands Of dollars.
Two men were convicted and sentenced
to Imprisonment under the Federal con-
spiracy law.

WILD MAN ROAMING
OVER HIGH HILLS
Employee at Tankhouse Pur-
sued Over Pathless Waste
by Lunatic.
POLICEMAN CARLSON
CAPTURES UNFORTUNATE
Maniac Attempts Suicide, but Is
Finally Jailed to Await
Examination.

The police were notified shortly be-
fore noon Wednesday that wild man
was roaming over the hills high up in
the City Creek district and that all
attempts to capture him had failed.
Officer Carl Carlson took the patrol
wagon, and after a drive of over six
miles up the CANYON road, ran into a
situation tragical in the extreme. An
employe of the upper tank house told
the officer that his partner had been
attacked by the "wild man" and that
he, the nartner, was at that particular
moment. being hotly pursued over the
hills by the maniac, whose sole purpose
IN life seemed to be TO shed the blood
of the fugitive tankman. Snow was
ankle deep all over the hills; the patrol
team was all but "out' from the try
ing trip up the long and muddy road
Carlson, however, who never quits, left
his horses at the tank house and started
after the pursued and the pursuer, both
OF whom were making record time up
and down the painless wastes of one
of the toughest sections of Utah.
Friendly Signals Ignored.
After half an hours hunt Carlson
deserted the terror-stricken fugitive Just
disappearing over the highest ridge in
sight, but al! his attempts to halt him
by cries and friendly signals were abso
lrtely futile. The man seemed imbued
with the idea that all the devils of the
internal regions had been delegated to
run him down and he simply kept 60
ing.
The freshlyfallen snow told the tale
of the course taken by the madmaD
Carlson stumbled along over this trail
Until, suddenly turning into hrushy ra-
vine. he came upon the witless unfor-
tunate, When first discovered by the
officer he was wallowlng in the snow
and seemed 10 have forgotten his bloody
mission. At sight OF Carlson, however.
he stood upright. assumed a belgerent
attitude and realized, probably for the
first time, that he was pursued as well
as pursuer.
The officer talked him out of all the
fight that was in him and, in n minute
had the irons on him. Then he walked
him down the hill to where the patrol
wagon was waiting, loaded him in and
started for town. On the way the prs
oner made desperate attempt to COM
nit suicide by choking himself TO
death. Handcuffed as he was, ne put
up a strong fight with the officer, who
rad to throw him down into the bottom
of the wagon and hold him there TO pre-
vent him from injuripg himself.
The wagon was driven directly TO the
county Jail. where the prisoner was
locked in the padded cell to, await ex-
ers. 1t is believed that his name is w.
X. Dimmipgs and that he has relatives
AT Colorado Springs, Col. His only ex-
plana ton OF his presence in the snow
covered hills is that ne was looking for
work on some mythical ranch. There
can be no doubt that the man is entirely
deranged.
