Charged with granting rebates to the
Grand Canyon Lime and Cement COM
pany of Arizona. the Santa Fe railroad
was called to trial in the United States
district court yesterday. In the indict-
ment there are sixty-six counts, each de-
f1ning a separate offense.

Santa Fe announced that he would con-
cede the freight charges as mentioned in
the complaint to be correct and also
that the Santa Fe had hauled the cement

fense simplified the work of the prose-
cution and obviated the necessity of hav-
ing expert testimony in the matter of
freight charges. 1t is expected the trial
will last most of the week.

SPENDS $4,000 Iii FEW
WEEKS; THOUGHT INSANE
.. r. EnI<house of GoIdfieId, Director
of Teams for Big Mine, Re-
duces His Fortune
to $156

Because he squandered $4,000 in few
weeks, j. +. Enghouse was brought to
Los Angeles from Goldfield to be treated
for insanity Enkhouse was a liveryman
and also had charge of the teams for one
of the largest mining companies at Gold
field.
He was brought to Los Angeles Thurs
day and taken to the county hospital. 1t
required the combined efforts of four men
and three women to put him to bed,
where he raved for hours. In court yes
terday he was uncommunicative, staring
idly before him and not answering to his
name.
Because of his coming here so recently
from Nevada thereis some doubt as to his
right to be treated at state asylum and
the case was continued one week to in
quire into his financial ability to pay for
treatment.
In the testimony it developed that un-
til few weeks ago Enkhouse had a
bank account of more than $4,000, but he
took delight in writing checks, by which
he depleted his balance to $156. with more
paper still uncashed.

ST. JOHNS MEMORIAL
Suggested that Chapel or

Vile Institution

The St. Cloud branch Of the St.
Johns College Alumni association ere
in favor Of building a memorial chapel
at St. Johns, to cost about SO O0O
Other branches prefer memorial
hs II, to cost about $50. but 1t is
thought it may be difficult to raise
that amount.
The st. Cloud Journal Press says
Tie local men however, thought
that the cost Of Memorial hall would
reach $4,000 CT $4,000 and the
amount would be difficult to raise.
On the other hand a Memorial chapel
could be erected at a cost of about
$40. 0O0 It is estimated that there are
about 5000 members in the Alumni
association throughout the northwest
and few dollars from each would
make it easy to raise the smaller
amount. Tue recommendation of the
other branches will be received in the
near future and what the majority
wish will be done. AS soon as it is
def aitely decided whica building will
be erected soliciting committees which
will be appointed in every town in
all of the branches will begin to
raise the necessary funds.
