entered against him, viz: Three
charges for burglary in the third de-
gree, and three charges for grand
larceny.raIt is said that If Conroy is
convicted ON all the charges and gets
the limit on each charge. Judge Goss
will have the pleasure of sending MIN
up for about sixty years. He is now
nearly 80 years old, and in any event
he will be an old man when he
breathes the free air again if he ever
does. Sullivan, Duffy, Robinson and
Hayes, the, other robbers, have en-
tered pleas of guilty to each of six
charges, and expect to be let off rather
lightly by Judge Goss. Just what
they will get is matter of con-
lecture at this time, but it is not likely
that they will get over twenty-five OF

Employees of the company did not

At this time when the roads are so
nearly impossible and the railroads
are blockaded it is well for settlers
who have advertised to prove up to
know that under conditions constitut-
ing good and valid excuse they may
have ten days beyond the time adver-
tised in which to make proof. During
the past week many claimants and
their witnesses have suffered great
hardships in attempting to reach the
land offices or other officers author
lied to make proofs. If they had I'M
derstood the provisions of the law in
relation to extension of time they
might have saved much incon-
venience.

The losses of the railroads are run
ming up into the millions because Of
the almost impossibility of keeping
their roads open and maintaining con-
tinuous traffic. There is the immense
loss of revenue, due to, the difficulties
of moving freight, the wear and tear
and breakage of machinery and mo-
i've power, the losses of perishable
freight, and losses in a dozen other
ways. There are 5000 cars of freight
congested in the yards at Devils Lake
alone and nearly half as many in the
Jamestown yards. Every day adds
thousands of dollars to the losses of
the companies, so that the disadvan-
tages of the freight blockades are not
altogether on the side of the shippers.
