REcouN1s TERRIBLE STRUGGLE.
Famous Ogden Murder Case is Again
Brought to Light.

Ogden, Utah.-Two women crouch

and the crashes and blows from his
enraged assailant in the room below,
futile calls for the police, who could
not be found; snatches of heated ar
guments that came through clinched

intermissions In the terrific struggle;
finally the resounding cracks OF metal
against human flesh and the dull thud
of a human form as 1t fell beaten
and battered close to death-these

Mrs. Hull didn't see the struggle,
but its swift action came to her
through floor and a partition. Her
story was the star feature OF the
prosecution, and as she told II it will
live through all the criminal annals
of the West as one of the most
graphic portrayals ever heard upon
the witness stand.
The whole testimony dld not IN
any way implicate Lawrence In the
murder of Beers, although the evil
dence showed that he offered little
resistance to the murderous assault
of Walker on Beers.

Senator LaFollette's bill providing
shorter hours for railroad men, has passed
the senate. Endorsing this bill the Wash
mgton Herald says: Senator LaFol-
lestes bill proposes to limit the number of
hours Of continuous labor to sixteen.
Surely no man ought to be compelled to
work longer than sixteen hours on a
stretch especially in an occupation where
50 much Of human life and property is
dependent upon absolute fidelity and at
tenhon. 1t is impossible to expect men
to have all Of their senses alert and re-
sponsive if they have been subjected to
a prolonged and exhaustive strain. In
fao, an innumerable series Of accidents
have been unquesionably due to the fac,
that an engineer or a brakeman or an
operator has been IN a condition where
it was physically impossible for him to be
responsible for his actions. Human ma
ture can stand only a certain amount Of
fatigue. When that limit has been
reached. rest is absolutely necessary.

pnsing that any one, especially men who
are entrusted with authority to lesisIate

the travelling public. Experience ha:
