Deputy Sheriff Sweat. Constable
McCalpin and Assistant County At
toruey Wiun went to the scene Of
the trouble shortly after it occurred
to make an investigation, but on ac-
count of the condition of the men
they were not placed under arrest.
The shooting was the result of a
previous difficulty, SO it is claimed.
Davis came to Waxahachie Wednes-
day and swore out complaint
against Jeans, charging him with
abusive language and disturbing
the peace. Jeans visited Waxahachie
Friday morning and made bond for
his appearance at the county court
Monday. The amount of the bond

took place He had his shotgun in
the buggy with him. A young man
was in the buggy with Jeans and
was driving the horse. When they
were in sight of Davis house they
saw Davis sitting in the front door,
and Jeans asked the young man to
drive by fast as he did not wish to
have any trouble with Davis. When
almost even with the house Davis
got up and went in the house, ac-
| cording to the story told by Jeans
to the otticrrA--and- came out with
| his shotgun in his hands.
Jeans got out of his buggy anG
! told the young man who was with
/ him to drive on so that he would not
get hurt. Jeans took his gun, which
carried two loads of No. squirrel
shot with him when he got out of
the buggy. He and Davis understood
what was about to occur, and both
men fired. Davis was hit once in the
face and once in the breast Jeans
declaring he fired only twice. DAVIS
continued to shoot after he was hit
and ran Jeans around neighbor' $
house. Davis is alleged to have fired
four shots.
Jeans then caught up with his
buggy and drove home.
Both men are too badly hurt lot
any immediate inquiry. and a pre-
limlnary hearing will have to be
postponed until they recover.

in the condition OF the wounded men

The government expects to institute
proceedings against the harvester
trust some time next week and the
charge will be that of maintaining q
monopoly in restraint of trade. This
International Harvester COM
pany-makes the bulk of the agricul-
tural machinery of the country and
practically all the harvesters. That
the farmers are at the mercy of the
combine there is no denying, but at
the same time the imposition of a
heavy fine upon the monopoly, or the
rendition of a decree of dissolution by
the courts, will not tend to lower
prices. At least it has failed to have
such effect upon other trusts on which
the government has experimental.

Tom Noswal in Mortified News:
Criticism has been heard around the
capitol and elsewhere because Of the
failure of the country press generally
to recognize the Importance of the
rapid metamorphosis the board of
control has undergone under the
present regime. There was a time
when, whatever criticisms were made
of the board and it's secretive methods
of transacting public business, es-
pecially in the matter of contracts, it's
detractors we're compelled reluctantly
to admit that at least it carried out
the spirit of the law of it's creation
and was strictly non-partisan. Even
the friends of the system now confess
that the board of control is being
gradually but surely shaped into a
political engine and is already doing
effective work.

North Branch, Mimi. Special, Aug.
26.-The Twin City & Lake, Superior
railroad which has commenced grad
ing east of here on it's Arrow Line
between the Twin Cities and the Head
of the Lakes, has had to cease work
on some of the land owing to the fact
that the farmers owning the property
wish to have their money before their
land is cut up and spoiled with the
grading. Notices to the railroad to
stop work on their land have been
served by at least two of the large
farmers. The railroad has been do
ing it's grading on the strength of
options secured from the farmers with
a small payment down, and a large
number of the owners of land have let
the grading proceed, but others, who
feel that considerable damage will be
done to their property, demand ad-
vance pay on the land.
Those Chisago county farmers who
demand cash for their land are level
headed. Now look out for flaming H.
