Held important Session At mlnot.
Discussed New Railroad
Laws.

Minot, n, D., July 6.-The state
board of railway commissioners, COM
posed Of G. S. Diesem, Eric Stafne
and Simon Westby, and secretary of
the board, J.W. Foley, held session
at the court house yesterday after
noon and again this morning and
they had good deal of business come
before the two sessions. Attorney
General McCue also was present as
an advisor.
Yesterday afternoon the division
superintendent of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific appeared
before the board and were given
hearing as to the train service, and
other matters.
The board seems disposed to treat
the railroads of the state fairly, but
will insist on strict enforcement of
the laws. Some of the provisions Of
the new laws may and likely will re-
quire time to work out. For in
stance, that one requiring fences Ito
be constructed, but the companies
will do the work as soon as possible,
for the railroad companies have
stated that they are willing ito obey
the.. laws to any reasonable extent.
There are several branch.. roads of
no very great length all over the
state. On the majority Of them only
one passenger train a day is run,
while the freight trains run tri-
weekly. The new law requires that
there shall be one eight train each
day. The railroads complain at this,
stating that If this law is to be
strictly enforced they will be obliged
to run a mixed freight and passenger
train. In some places the patrons Of
the road are objeoting to illustrating
that they can get mush better ser
vice BY leaving matters stand as they
do now. No orders were made on
this question, but the commissioners
will investigate further, and this pro-
vision Of .thss saeH y ssss will not be- en-
forced at the present time.
In the matter: Of the coal rates the
railroads and attorney general have
agreed to take up the question at
once, this being the action Of the
board on the matter. Another mat
ter that came up was that of the
2-cent mileage books, the new law re-
quiring a 21a cent general rate and
a 2-cent rate for 1000 mile books.
The companies have generally ac-
cepted the 219 cent 1ate. but have
made no provision for the mileage
book rate. This matter will also be
taken up by the attorney general,
who has been instructed to proceed
to start suit If the companies persist
in refusal of the mileage book rate.
There is q spirit of acting. fair by
both the railroads people and the
state com mission, but several mat
tiers will yet likely have to be adjudi-
Gated in the courts of the state

OF BROTHER AND
SISTER AFTER 81 YEARS

Mr.. Samuel Lewis of Spaulding,
Idaho, arrived in the city yesterday
to visit his sister, Mrs. Margaret
Dart Of Packwaukee. Wis, who is
here staying with her daughter, Mrs.
c. H. Chapman. Mr.. Lewis left In
diana in 1850 for the gold fields of
California, being 10 gears old at
that time. He stayed in California
until 1866, when he came up
through Oregon and Washington to
where Spokane now is There was
not house there at the time he
went through, and only one house on
the Palouse. He went to near Lew
istOn. Idaho, where he build and ran
ferry for a number of years. Be-
tween times he worked at mining for
himself and other people and some
of the stories he tells about the gold
fields Of California make one think
of the old times he used to hear
about years ago.
1t is needless to say that Mr. Lewis
and sister ara enjoying themselves
after SO long a separation, recalling
the things of former days when they
were both younger.

SIX DAYS OF
WANDERING

FAIRFAX, May Turning
bend of an abandoned trail, a search
party headed by F. w. Erb came
across little Bun" Mack standing in
the middle of the road, holding the
dog Sport. At the sight of the res
cuers the tiny fellows face expanded
into a grin and. game to the very
last, he uttered in the most indiffer-
ent tones:
Hello, Stub. What are you doing
out here?"
After suffering six days of dire pri-
walton and so weak from lack of food
that they could scarcely walk, little
Bunny" Mack and his teacher and
companion, Brent Lindsay, were
found Thursday by a party of the
saarchers wandering aimlessly and
almle3sly and almost hopelessly in
the wilderness between Fairfax and
Electron. Relief came to the man
and boy none too soon as they had
suffered terribly from exposure and
starvation was rapidly sapping their
strength.
The privations the two suffered
seems incredible. Having finished
what food they had on the day they
started out, they had nothing to eat
for the next five days except some
frogs legs which they were forced
to eat raw and tie only way in
which they succeeded in keeping con-
sciousness and life was by continual
bathing nj the cool walters of the
creeks they passed in the endeavorS
to find path out of the forests
which enshrouded them Starving
and bruised, their clothes almost torn
off their backs through plunging
through dense growths of under
brush, thinking that the next step
would be their last, they held on and
were still fighting when rescued.
