Facts concerning the poor little boy Wit
was pounded in Nielsen's Livery Barn OF
Monday, March II, 1907.
On Monday night March II, as L. d
Paxton entered the Livery Barn of Ber
Nelson on Main Street to get horse
which he had left there tied up in 9
stall alone, he was very much sur
prised to find another horse tied uE
with him, something he had asked the
Barn men not to do, regardless of prices
He wanted his stock to stand alone
and Lester Curtis the manager Of the
Barn will testify to the same. Mr.. Pax.
ton also noticed that his pony had been
severely beaten. OF course he is greatly
attached to his educated ponies, just as
any one would be who had taken wild
ones and educated them to the extent
Mr.. Paxton has. He stepped to the door
of the office where the "little boy" "a
years old and near foot tall, was, who
had the Barn in charge, and asked the
gentleman who had been beating his
pony. He replied, 81 have and / have
done it good" Mr.. Paxton said, 81 will
protect my horses after having paid for
having them cared for il have to take
a whipping in SO doing" and few hot
words passed as they were standing face
to face. When the fight began Mr.. Pax
ton running bluff with his left hand
swung heavily on Mr. Youngs left eye
with his right. knocking him down and
out for few seconds after Mr.. Young
had. gained consciousness Mr.. Parker
gave him a few more punches in the
mug which made it look like worn out
foot ball. Mr.. Young made a com
plant against Mr.. Paxton and Mr.. Pax
ton paid fine Of $500 and swore out
an indictment against Mr.. Young for
cruelty to animals, but as he did not
appear against Mr.. Young he was ac-
quilted.
1t was reported thatMr. Paxton did
not pay his bills at the Livery Barn.
The report is untrue.
The horse is very nicely colored for
a circus horse and is well educated for
the business. He has been seen to per
form few of his many tricks on the
streets of Blackfoot. A gentleman has
come near 250 miles to see the horse
and offered $4,000 for him, although
since he has been beaten the gentleman
will not take him for much less. The
veterinary surgeon Nicoi is treating the
horse and with some apparent success.
We the undersigned have seen the
pony several times and examined him
IN Wednesday night after be had been
beaten on Monday, and do here by Ger
tify that the horse was numerically |
beaten. A place was swollen across his
light hip 215 or 3 inches thick incht s
vide and about IS inches long. 1t is
to think that such a
wound could be made by buggy whip.
rhe horse is also made lame from the
,eating. Andy Nicola, David Vim,

ELY SQUEALS
Nevada Northern Railroad Makes
Them Do Il

The Nevada Northern Railroad, which
paid for itself the first year, principally
through business created by the town
of Ely, maintains its freight depot two
miles from the town, compelling the
merchants to pay for wagon haul that
distance. The people have made COM
plant to the Nevada Railroad Com
mission, asking that the railroad be
forced to deliver freight in town.
The railroad replies that it has sew
eral damage suits on its hands filed by
certain Elyites who claim that the
value of their property has been lessened
by the proximity of the railroad tracks,
and refuses to do anything till these
suits are settled. Lieutenant Governor
Dickerson is fighting with the people OF
Ely and charges that railroad stock
h ,lders are interested in townsite
scheme at the present depot Site Ii
promises to be a merry scrap, during
which Ely, like Jones OF the adv, will
pay the freight.

WORSE THAN WAR
Enormous Railroad Death Roll
For Past Year

The report OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission ior the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1907, shows an astOund-
ing total of killed and injured on the
railroads OF the United States-larger
than for any previous year.
The figures are, 6,SlS killed and 81
706 injured.
The victims OF railroads for the year
aggregated the enormous total OF lOS,-
324. OF this number l0,6lS were killed
outright and the balance of nearly 100,
600 were MANNED. Only $50 passengers
we're killed last year, as against 53'
passengers the previous year. The
number of passengers injured increased
slightly, being l0,764.
A speed-mad public and the Unsuitable
greed OF the railroad corporations cou-
pied with supreme indifference on both
sides. are causes which probably CON
tribute about equally to create these
frightful statistics. Some day the
question of life and death may be con-
sidered as important as rate regulation
