,.l LITTLE BOY KILLED.
Crushed Under Wheel OF Load Of Brick Under
Which He Fell.

Crushed Under Wheel Of Load Of Brick Under
& Which He Feil.
"A fatal accident occurred just at the
supper hour on Monday evening when
Harry, the little four.year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. A. Wilson was
crushed beneath the wheel Of a heavily
loaded wagon. w. M. Sancho, team
ster FOR Sol. Hunter, was just pulling. a
load Of brick away from the newly COM
pleted city hall. The two Wilson boys
had been playing ball around the place
while the teamster was loading the
brick and had been wanting a ride.
Sancho told them to wait until he got
out on the road, but it seems the
younger one did not care to wait that
long and as soon as the team was
stopped BY the wheel going into q deep
hole the little boy commenced to climb
on the opposite side from the driver
and unnoticed. When the team started
up the little one was thrown under the
right front wheel and there the load
rested on him until human strength
came to his relief, the wheel lifted and
the child taken from underneath. The
rear wheel was in deep rut at the
point where it rested on the boy and
could not be booked off. The lower
part Of the abdomen was crushed in
fearful shape. He was taken to the
Oakes Hospital at once but died three
hours afterwards.
Mrs. Wilson had come down from
Richardton only few weeks ago and
was keeping house for her father, Sol.
Hunter. The boy was killed near the
new city building and within fifty feet
Of the rear door Of his grandfather's
residence. The father arrived from
Richardton Tuesday afternoon.
Harry H. Wilson would have been
five years Of age had he lived until next
August. He was born in Cakes and
had made his home here until few
months ago when the family moved to
Richardton, where his father has the
management Of a lumber yard.
The funeral iwas held yesterday after
noon at two o'clock at the residence,

R. G. MORLEY IN a
PECK OF TROUBLE
Arrested by Federal Marshal for
lmpersonatins U. 5. Officer
Released At Fargo and Officers Here Have
Lost Track Of Him-Was rsii Here
on Criminal Charge,

Last Thursday United States Marshal
Shea arrived in the city from Fargo
with q warrant for the arrest Of. r. G..
Morley, he having been indicted
by the federal grand jury at Fargo for
several offenses against the govern
ment. On one occasion it is alleged he
impersonated an officer in the employ
Of the government; on another he re-
presented himself to be government
inspector Of Indian agencies; on
another with claiming that he was q.
secret service man in the employ Of the,
government, and on still another with
representing himself to be United
States marshal. Morley accompanied
the officer to Fargo and the Forum
stated that he appeared in the federal
court and was released on bond for his
appearance when wanted.
Morley was out on bonds in this
county to appear at the coming term
Of district court to answer to the
charge Of unlawful cohabitation with y
woman he had been living with here as
his wife. Five Of our business men
are on his bond for $500 and they have
been rather dubious about Morley's'
intentions when it came. to appearing
in court. When q message from Fargo
informed the deputy sheriff here that
Morley had been released Mr.. Huffman
went after his man to Fargo Monday,
on instructions from the bondsmen, but
on arriving there the ''bird' had flown,
although the officers had been advised
to hold him. He had gone west on the
main line Of the Northern Pacific,
saying he was on his way to Oakes by
way of jamestown but that is as far
as the officials here know Of him. It
was the intention to bring him back
and lodge him in the county jail as the
bondsmen were q little weary Of
"herding" him. Deputy Sheriff Huff
man says he did not appear in court at;
Fargo at allSand does not quite under
stand why the officers let him 20.
Mrs. Warfield and Morley have been
occupying adjoining" rooms in the
Voight building since her removal from
the hospital. The woman packed her
trunks and with her baby accompanied
the prisoner to Fargo. At last accounts
they were still together.
The bondsmen are making an effort
to locate the man and will undoubtedly
be able to apprehend him before court
sits the end Of this month. Some Of
our townsmen, appear to think this
was 2 ruse on the part of Morley to
get out Of town, but this is not generally
believed as the federal officers would
not be in league with any such pro:
ceeding.

COTTON Is BURNING
CARGO OF STEAMSHIP DIADEM IS
 ON FIRE.
Vessel Will Be Moved From Wharf in Pensacola to Save other Prop erty-Fighting the
 EIamen.

Pensacola, Fla. Dec 4.--(Special.)-- At as late hour tonight fire was dis covered in the cotton cargo of the British steamer Diadem which was loading at one of the Louisville and Nashville wharves, and at late hour it is apparently gaining headway.
 Streams of water were played upon the deck but there was fear to open the matches to get to the cargo. as the flames would spread.
 It has been decided to move the yes- sei from the wharf for fear that the flames may break out and ignite the big structure. She Is to be towed oui into the harbor tonight, and an effort will be made to smother the flames with steam. A hole is being drilled through the deck and 8 steam pipe will be run from the boilers and through into the hatch.
 The fire will be fought in this man. ner all night and tomorrow morning if it is not extinguished other metht eds will be resorted to.
 The fire was discovered in No. hatch which had just been filled with cotton and closed.
 The vessel has almost complete cargo of phosphate rock and cotton for Bremen. which is valued at over S100,- 900. 1t is believed the fames can be extinguished with no damage to the ship, and only that portion of the car 20 in No. 2 hatch may be damaged

BANK STATEMENTS
THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CUR-
 RENCy ISSUES 4 CALL.
Condition of Business Up to December 3, is Wanted by RtdgeIy--Ex- planation Made for Clear
 ing House Certificates.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The Comptroller of the Currency today Issued a call for . statement of the condition ohnational banks at the close of business Decem- Der 8.
 The call for statement of national banks was not unexpected in financial circles here. Only four of the five calls allowed by law each year had been made. and in the natural course of events. 1t was anticipated that the fifth and last call could not be much longer delayed. It is felt here that it will ex- ercise a beneficial effect on the situa- tion inasmuch as the banks customariIy try to prepare for call by increasing their cash and when the call has been made. this cash is automatically re- leased.
 The following is a copy of telegram which was today forwarded to the man. agers of all clearing houses by MT. Ridgely, the Comptroller of the Cur rency: Reports of conditions called for Tuesday. December 3. Instruct all clearing house banks to report clearing house certificates as follows: On face of report, below item 10, under Re serve" or below item 22. under "Liabili- ties," as clearing house accounts of net balance" On back of report, below item 10. in schedule of loans and dis counts, show total amount of clearing house certificates taken out by the re- porting bank and the total bank and the total amount on hand"

DECISION REVERSED
BIG FINE ON SOUTHERN RAILWAY
 HELD UP.
Supreme Court of North Carolina Hands Down Important pecision-Dis- senting Justice suggests Ex-
 tra Session of Legislature.

Raleigh, N. C.. Dec. 4.--The State
 Supreme Court in decision handed
 down this afternoon reversed Judge
 Long of the Superior Court in tho mat
 ter of $30.0e0 fine Imposed on the
 Southern Railway Company for selling
 passenger tickets at rate in excess
 of two and one-fourth cents, the State
 rate. .V
 At the same time the opinion aftirms
 the act of the court and the constitu-
 tionality of the legislative act in pre-
 scribing punishment of agents and of-
 ficials of the road for selling tickets at an excess rate, the bringing of pen- atty suits of $500 each by individuals
 against the corporation for violating
 the law and holding that the Federal
 Court has no authority to issue an in-
 junction against bringing suits. crim-
 inal or civil. against the railroad as 1t
 would in thus enjoining criminal ac-
 tion be bringing a suit against the
 State. which is forbidden by the United
 States law as the act of the Legisla
 ture was self-operating as to passenger
 fares and required no action on the part
 of State officials.
 The opinion is that of four justices
 of the Supreme Court and Is dissented from by Chief Justice Clark, who holds that if an agent can be fined or im- prisoned that the railroad can also be fined as a punishment for its acts in causing an agent to sell tickets at il- legal rates. Tn his dissenting opinion. he intimates that the Legislature should be called together in special ses- sion so as to make the act so explicit that the railroads can be punished by fines.
 Associate Justice Brown in a con- curing opinion with the court. says there Is no need of an extra session of the Legislature; that if the act as 1t stands is enforced, that the railroads could not stand & weeks violation of it.
 The opinion sets out that the Federal Court injunction was no defense to a l criminal action, no power lying fin the | Federal Court to enjoin a criminal pros- | ecution: that the rate law was self executing in effect and that no suit against the State will hold in defiance | of the eleventh amendment to the con- stitution; that where a civil penalty Is prescribed against a corporation fol- lowed by the creation of a criminal of- | fense against che agents of the corpor- | ation, the civil penalty first prescribed | by indictment under the criminal of- | fense created against the agent.
 The court holds that the defendant | received an absolutely fair trial before
 Judge Long but that there was no crimi- nal offense charged in the bill of in-
 dIctment against the Southern Railway
 Company, the offense of selling tickets | above the two and ona-foufth cent rate being charged against Ticket Agent T | E. Green, who was punished by fine. 1 The act of the Legislature prohfbfts
 a charge above two and one-fourth
 cents per mile and then provides that | any railroad company violating the pro- | visions of the act shall be liable to a penalty of $500 and the agent shall be | guilty of misdemeanor.

 The first train was twenty-five min utes late, having been delayed by a broken rail at Jessups, where 1t had sidetracked to let an express pass While standing at Hanover station taking on passengers. the second train came around the curve at that point at a high rate of speed and crashed in- to the rear car of the stationary train smashing this car and driving 1t into the next coach ahead.

When a train enters block, electricity throws a red target The red signal remains stationary until the train leaves the block, when the target changes to green. Just west oi Hanover station is such signal
 The list of fatalities later was m creased to five. An unidentified whitt man died on the relief train. and fourth negro track hand died at the hospital here Between twenty-five ant thirty all told, were hurt.
