THE RAILROAD FIGHT
Commissioners Have Backed Down But Will Come Again in the
 Freight Rate Contest.

Little Rock, Nov. 2I. Before the end of the day prosecuting Attorney Roy D. Cambell will enter a dismissal in the circuit court of the suits for penalties, directed at the Iron Mountain and Rock Island railroads, which placed the Railroad Commission in contempt of the United States Circuit court, according to the decision of Judge Jacob Trieber, and other means will be resorted to by the commission to force the railroads to abandon their pres ent excessive freight rates. It is thought the commission will file in the United States court, an action which will make the railroads come farward and show their present rates are not ex- cessive. even though they are from 100 to 300 per cent higher than were the rates of the rail- roads before the commission was organized. The renewals of the set backs the state has received in the Federal court on all propositions yet fought out there on the rate questio=, has only added to the determination of the commission and it's attorneys, to bring out the railroads and make them come to time, giving the people of the state some thing reasonable. For two hours yesterday afternoon att torneys for the state, Roy D. Cambell, Attorney General Kirby and Congressman Toe T. Robison, talked before Judge Trieber, while tho attorneys for the railroad, Col. J. Nj, Moore aud Tom Buzbee, never made suggestion after their case was stated. In the hearing yes err day Judge Trieber expressed a high regard for the commits sione.s personally, and also said the commission had done much for the state and should be main. tained but he said the railroad, even thoguh 1t is railroad, must have some consideration for it's property rights.

MANY plsTILLERY FIRES.
In Three Weeks 72,0o0 Barrels Of
 Whisky Burned.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 21.-Distillery fires within the past three weeks have destroyed millions of dollars worth of property in Kentucky, the loss of l5.000 barrels in the Tom Moore fire at Bardstown Wednesday night bring ing the total number that have fed the flames recently up to 72.000 In detail this means that the visible sup ply of whisky has decreased 3.600.000 gallons, or more definitely speaking, 2SS.000, 900 drinks. At an average of S25 per barrel, the loss to the distiller is s1.s00,000 The United States gov ernment. however, comes In for still heavier loss. The tax is at least twice the value of the whisky, which would make the loss to the government be- tween s3.000,000 and s4.O00.000. The frequency of fires has caused some sus. picion of incendlarism.

MAYOR TOM L. JOHNSON oF CLEVELAND, O., DECLARES
 HE IS A POOR MAN.
SAYS THAT HE WILL CONTINUE HIS FIGHT
His Fortune Wrecked by Devotion to Dead Brothers Estate and to His Long Fight in cleveIand-Hls Many Enemies Who Forced Him to Dis pose of His Bank.

Cleveland, Nov. 21.--Mayor Tom L. Johnson, who for years has been credited with possessing a very large fortune, Thursday announced that he had lost everything and would be compelled to give up his beautiful home on Euclid avenue and move into smaller and less expensive quarters The mayor also stated that he would give up his automobile and other lux uries because he could no longer af ford to keep them.
 His fortune was wrecked, the mayor declared, by his devotion to the af- fairs of the estate of his dead brother. Albert, who was heavily interested in traction properties in the east.
 After Albert's death a question was put up to him whether he should re- sign his office as mayor and take ur the management of Albert's estate.
 The Municipal Traction company of which Mayor Johnson was treasurer passed into the hands of receivers in the federal court several days ago. Following this came the transfer to two local banks of the Depositors Say ings & Trust company of which the mayor was president. It is said this action was precipitated by the threats of MT. Johnson's individual creditors to file suits to obtain payment on notes indorsed by the mayor.
 It is said MT. Johnson has recently lost approximately s4O0.000 in connec- ton with his interests at Lorain. O.

Mountain Sheep Increasing In Rookie.

Trainmen on the Denver & Rio Grande report the recent appearance of two bands of mountain sheep on the cliffs just beyond the Royal gorge near Spike Buck.
 The animals are roaming about on the rocks hundreds of feet above the tracks. They pay no attention to the trains, and as the law forbids anyone to shoot at them they have not be- come frightened at the appearance of a human being in the distance.
 One band contains eight sheep, as near as they could be counted from the moving trains, and the other con. tains about fifteen. The train crews have come to watch for the agile ami mals In and about the Royal gorge. and there is seldom a day when they are disappointed. The precarious pas. ture they have found is apparently al. most inaccessible for other animals, and the feeding is proportionately good in consequence.-Deny Repuo. lican.
