who has returned from Jolo, said To-
day that women and children were
killed in the battle, but 1t was unavoid'

riors and children were being used as
shields. He said the natives Tough
like fanatics, jumping over the sides
of the mountain into the ranks of the
soldiers and rolling the men down with
them. Most of the injuries to Ameri-
can troops were by spears and knives.
The wounded natives fought surgeons

500 ROAD DEFENDANT.
Hon. R 9. Bennett ~ Start II Dana.
~ Suits Against TIE SEQ
) Railroad. II Ss

Representative b: 8. Bennett spent
Monday In Crookston and looked up
several matters In connect don with the
Ming OF - damage suits against the
800 railway company for losses which
farmers In the vicinity of BijOu sus-
tanned on the 14th OF November last,
% the result OF terrible prairie fire
which ragged nearly one whole day in
eastern Norman county and which It
Is alleged was started from sparks
from 8 passing 500 freight engine or
from coal, which was dumped with
ashes on the 500 track near Bijou sta
Z ton. the latter being the theory OF
Mr.. Bennett, who will appear as at
torney for all the plaintiffs.
On the date, in question during the
fore part OF the day there was strong
wind blowing from the southwest and
had the wind remained there the dam
age would Ahave been comparatively
small, as its progress would have been
stopped by Marsh Greek. About the
mi00le of the afternoon, however, the
wind suddenly shifted to the north
west and started the fire at right
angles to Its original course, and be-
fore nightfall 1t had swept over vast
area
fortunately the country In that Sec
ton is not thickly settled, and the loss
sustained was chiefly In hay In stack,
hundreds Of tons of which was Tapped
up. No one saw the fire shortly after
ut had started, and q freight train had
passed shortly before that time. The
plaintiffs also lay considerable weight
to the fact that several other fires in
that vicinity have been started from
sparks from the engine Of the same
train, and It is supposed they were
started by the same engine which It
is alleged must have been faulty in
some respects.
The total damages claimed amount
to $500, and the outcome will be
watched with great deal Of inter-
est, as 1t is announced that the re-
suit Of these suits will determine
whether or not number Of similar
actions will be started In connection
with fires supposed to have been start
ed by Great Northern and Northern
Pacific engines in cases where no one
saw the inception of the fire and in
which the probability of the fire hav-
Ing been started by a railway engine
Will have to carry q considerable
weight. The 500 cases will be filed
In the district court In Polk county
and will come up for trial at the June
term.
