COCHRANE DROPS SUIT.
No Settlement, Say Officials of the Ac.

WAUKESHA, Wis, July 21.-J. F..
COchrane, of st. Paul, today wired to
dismiss his conspiracy suit against the
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway in which
he asked $4,000 damages.
Cochrane was the accountant for the
railway in 1888 and alleged the COM
pany gave thousands of dollars rebate
on car service charges. Later he was
employed by the Alton railway, one of
the roads which he said had suffered
from the fraud alleged. In August,
1903, he began a suit charging Presi-
dent Earling and other officials of the
Milwaukee road with getting him
drunk and making him sign a denial
of all charges contained in the bill.
No reason is known for the with
drawal All the officials swear that
they have not settled.

Two Of the party were seen going

present when the man expired. The
others had fled Immediately. The man

There was nothing on his person to
show who he was. He walked with a

Open River Company Secures Con-
cession From Grain Men
REDUCTION IN CHARGES IS PROMISfO
FARMERS WILL BE GIVEN BENE-
FIT OF LOWER RATES
THROUGH ARRANGEMENT.

Negotiations were closed in Portland
yesterday between Frank Smith, Of
pany, and Portland grain men through
which platforms, scales and ware
houses are to be provided on the upper
Columbia river for the weighing and
storing of wheat 1t is understood
that when the growers drive their
teams on the scales and the weight is
taken their responsibility for the
wheat ceases.
The question of warehouse charges
has been a leading one with growers
and it is promised that in some local
tiles along the river there will be ma
terial reductions. This will not be
true at all points, for there are places
where the grammar will have to build
within a short distance of their ware
houses on the o. r. & n. right of way,
and they do not feel justified in low
ering the warehouse charges of IS
cents a ton. Where no such effect is
to be contended with the rate will
probably be so cents, and on the up
per river about Wallula the tariff may
be dropped to 80 cents According to
the boat line officials the charge at all
rail points is IS cents a ton, whether
the wheat remains there day or until
the following season, and an additional
tax of so cents a ton is made at
Portland, all of which the grower
does not pay direct, but which is de-
Quoted from his statement. The lower
warehouse rate and cheaper tariff on
water is expected to prove an induce
ment to growers to patronize the
steamers.

MAY DROP ANTITRUST CASE.
Free and Open Market at Duluth, All
that Was Wanted, Secured.

DULUTH, Mimi, July 21.-In the
trial of the suit brought by the state
against the Duluth board of trade,
charging it with being a monopoly and
violating the trust law passed by the
legislature in 1899, the state authori-
ties are not DESTROYS of putting the
Duluth board of trade out of business.
That is the purport of the suit, but
it is brought only for the purpose of
making the grain men be good and
permit free entry and sale of grain
from the farmers elevators. 1t has
already accomplished that object, and
the case may, therefore, be dropped
without coming to verdict.
Since the suit was brought there
has been no complaint from the farm
ers' elevators. While they have no

GIRLS.

Oh, some may laud the golfing girl
A-speeding DER the green;
With dancing eye and flying curl
She is an outdoor queen.
And some the horsy girl may praise,
With her divided skirt;
But not for me her mannish ways
And mannerisms pert.
A gambling girl is fine, some think
On anything she'll bet;
And others like a girl who'll drink
Or smoke a cigarette.
Now, each of these may be a pearl
I've nothing much to say;
I'll merely sing the girlish girl
She's very rare today.

DIETZ HOLDS ON.
Latest Demonstration Against Him
Little More Than UusuaI Bluff.

RICE LAKE, Wis, July 21.-Dis-
patches last week asserted that an
other effort was made by Sheriff Gy-
land of Sayer county to capture John
Dietz, the Thornapple dam OUTLAW"
This undoubtedly referred to an effort
recently made-whether final or not
cannot definitely be stated-which end
ed as all previous efforts have, in a
bill to the county board for expenses.
This bill was presented to the board
the day the dispatch was sent out.
AS a matter of fact the entire sensa-
ton over the ThOrnapple dam cOntro-
versy is somewhat of a farce, if the
stories told in this section of the state
are to be believed
There is a controversy over the title
to the land on which the dam is stu
ated between Dietz and the corporation
that owns the timber above the dam.
Civil suits have been instituted to GUST
Dietz from the land, but he continues
to hold possession.
This controversy has been in prog
ress for two years or more and in that
time Dietz has been represented as an
outlaw, armed to the teeth, thirsting
60 -
poration as we'll as defying the police
power of the United States and the
great and sovereign state of Wiscon-
sin.
But John Dietz has never killed a
man. He has not laid himself open to
arrest on a criminal warrant He has
announced he would resist any attempt
to force him to leave
At one time 90 United States mar
shals with a supporting force of 60 ir-
regulars. enlisted to serve during the
war, with SO repeating rifles and
enough ammunition to glut the market
in South American republic during a
revolution, camped on the line of John
Dietz' farm and sent forward a flag Of
truce by the hand of courageous dep
uty, who notified Dietz that he must
surrender on pain of suffering an as
sault on his works.
Dietz replied that he would not sur
render; he expressed the opinion that
he might be killed in the forthcoming
fight, but. if attacked, he felt confident
that he would be able to do some little
execution himself, and he was ready
to die in defense of his rights and
property.
But as there is no known provision
in the civil code that justifies a United
States marshal in shooting up a man
merely because he refuses to surrender
property he claims to own, the posse
was withdrawn
There have been bluffs galore, but
they always stopped short Of actual
hostilities by officers of the courts. But
during all this time a nice bill of ex-
penses has been piling up against the

Open Market Wanted


ular members of the board.
Open Market Wanted.
If the state can have full guaran-
tee that the market will be open to all
in the future, it is believed that will
be satisfactory to the farmers elevator
interests, and the attorney general will
be willing to drop the suit with that
stipulation.
1t is understood that the state is in
position to prove violation of the law
by the evidence of members of the
board. 1t is more than likely that an
agreement will be reached between the
conflicting interests, and that the
action in court will then be terminal
ed 1t could be recommended at any
time should there be another VIOLA
ton of the Law.
What Is Charged.
The complaint alleges, among other
things, that the rules of the board of
trade lay down the commission to be
charged in dealings, and specify that
in dealing between members rates of
commission may be arranged between
them, but as applied to anybody not
a member the rate fixed is ironclad;
that the board is organized to monopo-
lie the grain business in Duluth and
prevent those not members from doing
business.
1t is also alleged that the Minnesota
Farmers exchange applied for a men,
bership early in the fall of 1905, and
was turned down for the reason that
the rules of the board are against split
ting commissions. The Farmers Ex-
change reformed it's rules in regard to
this and applied again. 1t is charged
that it's second application was arbi-
trarily turned down. Then the ex-
change proceeded to sell to members
here, and it is alleged that the board
of trade stopped it's members from
buying.
