news.
We had one fight over there before

Manager Bettison treated up like kings,
but after that he told US that there would
be no more. He said the London sports

negro and McVev was not given a chance
L had an offer for McVey and Langford
but Sam skipped just as ] was ready TO
sign him up.
"McVey is over in Paris now. but /
don't think he will get much boxing

a great fighter, but when they bar ne
groes in London it almost cooks the goose

glish title from him. never appeared to
trouble him. Tiger Smith was defeat

are now managing and controlling them.
The superiority of government manage
ment of railroads is shown by equal
rights to shippers. and more efficient
and economical service.
The business men and intelligent citi-
gems of Europe are comparatively free
from the crushing ~monopolies which
railroad discrimination has forced upon
the people of the. United States.
Government ownership and manage
ment is the only remedy which will
eradicate the evil. The colonies sought
for generations to find relief from Brit
ish tyranny by presenting their griev-
ances to the king and parliament; but
1t required revolution to cut the Gordian
knot and liberate the people from Brit
ish tyranny. 1t is possible that regula-
tions of railroads by the government
may mitigate some evils. but such regu-
~lations will leave the cancer which is
gnawing at the vitals of the republic.
untouched. While private ownership
continues. the conflict between the
rights of the people and the greed of the
railroad managers will also continue.
Merchants and business men will, as

and trembling. They will no more dare
to appeal to the authorities at Washing
ton. for redress against the wrongs of
railroad management than a merchant
of Nevada would dare allow his name
to be used in a petition for relief to be
presented to the interstate commerce
commission.
For the last thirty years. the people of
Nevada have been compelled to pay at
all the stations along the route of the
railroad. not only full freight from the
east. but through freight to San Fran
cisco and local freight back to the point
of the original consignment. For TWEEN
ty years. there has been an interstate
commerce commission organized to take
jurisdiction of such abuses; but no mer-
chant in Nevada has dared to allow his
name to be used for that purpose.
Under government regulations, the
person aggrieved must make complaint
to the authorities, but the sole reward
Of the complaint will be the ruin of his
business so long as private corporations
own and control the railroads. Indi-
viduals annot contend with such a
combination.
The People Must Act
There is no doubt of the power of the
majority of the people to prevail against
the combination of all the railroads.
When the people of the United States.
by a majority. have demanded reform.
victory has always crowned their ef-
forts. Let tho issue be clearly made
between the people and the railroad
oligarchy. and justice will prevail. Con-
stitutional government will be restored.
Peace and prosperity will be secured.
The battle can now be fought at the bal
lot box. Existing conditions cannot be
endured. The transfer of the earnings
of the masses to the creatures OF mon
opoly means destruction of the govern
ment. Victory at the ballot box will
leave the trusts and monopolists in pos
session of their Ill gotten wealth. but
will stop their aggressions. Revolution
and blood shed win destroy the rich and
beggar h poor. and end in anarchy and
ruin.

.WEBERG'S HEARING.
GOES OVER TO
jan 80
-Four Witnesses in Walsh
County Case Were Exam
ined on Friday.
He ADMITS SHOOTING
Butcher, Who Employed Him,
Gave Graphic Description
of the Crime.
He ADMITS SHOOTING

The preliminary hearing Of Otto
Weberg, charged with murder in the
first degree, which was in progress
Friday before Justice H. A. Ball At
Grafton, was adjourned on Friday eve
ming, following the examination, OF
two witnesses, until next Wednesday
morning, when the hearing will ne
continued.
On Friday Theodore Nordlie,
Fairdale butcher, who was an eye
witness to the murder and In whose
employ Weberg was at the time of the
shooting, was examined, as was also
George Dawson, the constable who
arrested Weberg following the crime.
Nordlie testified on the stand that
he, the murdered girl, Annie Engals-
rud, together with two other, girls and
woman, we're sitting in the kitchen
Of the Smith hotel conversing, when
Weberg entered with rifle in one
hand and headless rabbit in the.
"You needn't try to make us be-
lieve you shot that rabbit" Nordlie
said to Weberg. "That rabbit has been
hanging in the shop for a week."
So saying, Nordlie picked up the
rabbit and was examining it with his
back turned to Weberg, when he sud-
denly heard shot. He turned in
time to see the victim fall off the chair
where she was sitting, dead, and fear
ing further shooting. he rushed upon
Weberg and seized the weapon. This
was, in effect, the testimony of Nor
die, with the further exception he
stated upon the stand that the rifle
with which the shot was fired belonged
to MIN, and hung in his shop where
Weberg had access to It.
The testimony of constable Dawson
was in effect that following the shoot
ing Weberg went to a restaurant,
where he calmly threw himself upon
a lounge, where he was afterwards
found and arrested. He asked the
constable when taken into custody,
after having first admitted the shoot
ing, whether or not the girl was dead
and upon receiving an affirmative re-
ply, said he was sorry she had not
lived few days and suffered, as she
had caused him to suffer for many
months.
States Attorney De Puy appeared
for the prosecution and E. R. Sinkler
for the defense. The latter will base
his case upon the insanity theory.
