Bates Sued.

Sheriff Bates has been sued for S.
900 by John Mozor because the said
Mozor during the late strike became
mixed up with the guards.
The complaint served on the sheriff
states that Mozor was driving a team
of horses through the streets of Chs
holm August II, lasG. 1t was about
IL o'clock at night and the horses
were young and easily frightened. 1t
is alleged that the guards around the
mines belonging to the Oliver Iron
Mining company attempted to halt
the wagon and fired couple of shots
past the drivers head. Moor claims
that he was so weakened by fright
that he allowed the reins to drop and
the team ran away. The horses ran
into blind alley and were brought UP
before a wall of house.
The plaintiff further claims that
the guards found the horses and ar
rested the driver and a couple of

A Barbaric Custom.

We wish law could be passed pro-

jars on the sensibility of every tender
chord, and Is something that churches
and undertakers ought to combine to
pat to an end. In nine-tenths of the
cases it is merely pandering to a
ghoulish curiosity. People who never
spoke to the deceased during his Tor
herr life time parade around the
church, cape at the form Of our loved
one, then go out of the presence of
death, not to talk of the good deeds
done in life, but TO criticlse the APP
pearance of the poor clay that death
has left for once at their mercy.

STILL MISSING
No Trace of the Lost WintOn
Boy.

Notwithstanding the search being
prosecuted by hundreds of men in the
woods about Winton, no trace of the
Patka boy has as yet been discovered.
The lake and river have been dragged
and dynamited without success. The
mother still hopes of seeing her son
alive but the neighbors and friends
fear the worst.
Theories as to the disappearance
are many, The most plausible one is
that the boy wandered into the woods
and was lost, AS he was last seen at
about noon, lie had abundant time to
go a considerable distance before he
was missed. Some have it that he
fell into the lake and was drowned.
The disappearance will remain a
myster until he turns up or his body
is found.

THE CONTESTOR
Getting in His Fine Work
Near Here.

OF late, considerable adverse COM
ment has been heard about town re-
garding bunch of contestors that
are working in the BURNSIDE lake
country where they have tied up sew
eral homestead entries. The entries
of the Nauha brothers, Matt Ronka,
David Kangas, John Gryin, John
Siren and Henry Pietella have been
contested on various grounds.
The affair has all the earmarks of
being hold-up game. Henry Pie
tella it is claimed paid the gang $50,
after which the contest was with
drawn from his claim. The others
have been approached on the same
lines but we understand fight will
be made in the land office.
John Gryin has resided on his land
for three years steadily and has an
elegant farm. David Kangas has also
put in much time and work on his
claim. The Nauha boys have good
Improvements and residence to their
credit and Matt Ronka and John
Siren have the same, so we are in
formed by competent authority.

and is assisted by several local men
who are known. This practice has
been somewhat at standstill for sew.
elal years or ever since the affair at
Tower some years ago when the set
tiers took the law in their own hands
and dealt summary justice to gang
of this class.
There is considerable feeling in this
vicinity regarding the work. The adj
yances towards a withdrawal of the
contests for a cash consideration
points to game of black mail.

Plan to Have Canal Commission Live
on the IsthmuS.

Washington, March 12.-After the
reorganizat ton of the isthmian canal
commission with Colonel Goethals as
chairman, it is probable that all seven
of the canal commissioners will live on
the isthmus and the committee will
become more of an administrative
body than it was under Chairman
Shonts. Under Mr.. ShCnts the COM
missioners were advisory rather than
executive officials. They were consult
ed on engineering problems and in
some cases on administrative policy,
but the authority to direct affairs was
largely centered in the chairman. 1t
is probable that the reorganization of
the committee will not be completed
until after Secretary Taft's visit to the
isthmus late this month. With out in
innate knowledge of exact conditions
on the isthmus it is difficult to deter
mine how the commission can work
to the best advantage and the secre-
tary of war has no desire to outline
the policy definitely until Colonel
Goethals and the army engineers who
are assisting him have had an oppor-
tunity to familiarize themselves with
conditions on the iSthmuS.

Salina Man Dies From Injuries Caused
by Beer Bottles.

Salina, Kan, March PA. E. Peter
son. proprietor of dairy east of town,
died late last evening as the result of
an assault by parties unknown. Peter
son was found in an alley in the north
part of town Sunday night about 10
o'clock in an unconscious condition. He
was lying near a pile of broken beer
bottles and his right forearm was LAGER
ated in such a manner that an artery
had been cut and he had almost bled to
death. He was taken to the city hall,
where physician kept him alive by
the means of a Saline solution injected
into his system.
Officers at first thought Peterson had
fallen and cut himself on the broken
bottles while Intoxicated. One time
during the forenoon Peterson began
raving and said, Don't cut me, Tom;
don't hit me- Further than this the
officers nor his wife could get nothing
from him.
But just before he died he became RAJ
tional long enough to say:
'tShe helped him; they kicked me and
hit me and cut me-"
There is a general impression that
Peterson was murdered, possibly for
his money
