VERDICT OF GUILTY
E. w. JOHNSON CONVICTED OF
HANDBOOK MAKING.

AT a late hour yesterday afternoon the
jury in the United States branch of the
Police Court in the case of +. w. john
son, charged with running handbook
in April last. returned a verdict of guilty
on all three counts of the information.
Counsel for the defense made a motion
for new trial and arrest of judgment,
and the bond of the accused man was
continued. pending final settlement of the
case. Yesterdays conviction in hand
book cases made the second for the week.
the first being that of Samuel Emery,
alias Bert Myers, who was found guilty
by jury in the same court Wednesday
afternoon.
The case of Edward Cochran, which
was also scheduled for trial this week.
will be postponed, as was announced
yesterday afternoon by the prosecuting
attorney owing to the proximity of the
Christmas holidays. The trial goes over
until January, when, it Is thought. other
pending handbook cases will be also taken
up. The jury of the Police Court was
excused by Judge Kimball until Thurs
day, January =. apd cases in both Po-
lice Courts will be tried before the judges
until that time.
The convictions of the week are pleas
ing to the prosecuting attorneys office.
Il propose to do my utmost to bring about
convictions in the handbook cases brought
to my attention, and l believe l have the
cooperation of every official in this build
ing and in the. police departing mt toward
this end" said Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Ralph Given. Jury convictions
in these cases are extremely difficult, and
the two verdicts of this week are more
than gratifying.
The penalty provided by the code for
convictions of accepting bets upon run
ming races under which section the hand
book cases are classified, is not more than
$500 fine or three months in Jail, or both
in the discretion of the court. Handbook
cases are classed as a msdemeanor and
not a felony.

QUEER CIRCUMSTANCES, |
Bolts Cut From Fish Plates
Trails Spread--1rain
Wrecked

In speaking of the wreck of a Great
Northern Passenger train at Osseo
Saturday, = dispatch says: At first it
vas thought that the wreck was
caused by epread Of the rails due en-
tirely to the weight of the train, but
a later investigation throws a new
light on the accident. The road waa
unsafe for several miles because OF
the fact that the bolts mad been cut
from the fish plates aud the rails In
many places were more than an inch
ont of line.
The track was found to be in this
condition for nearly tree miles south
OF Osseo and for = distance of sixty
rods at Robbinsdale.
The bolts, cut off inside the rail,
lay in The snow. This allowed the
rails to spread at the ends, throwing
the Coaches when the flyer passed
over them.
How the bolts were cut is q puzzle
to everyone who has seen them. The
officials of the road refuse to make any
statement. They admit, however,
that a west. bound freight train went
over the track the night before and
that one car left the rails This
they say, may have caused thu
fanges Of the wheels to cut the bolts.
They old not say what had caused
the freight train to leave the rails In

Few indeed realize how prevalent
