WILL PURSUE THE
LAND FRAUD CASES
Government To Appeal From
the Lewis Decision

WASHINGTON, Jan. lit is
stated officially at the department of
justice today that there will be 70
cessation in the prosecution OF Ian6
frauds cases in Colorado and other
western states, although the decision
# Judge Lewis has made it necessary
to change the procedure in some re-
spects.
It is pointed out by officials Of the
department that pending an appeal
from Judge Lewis decision, which
will be expedited in the supreme
court. there will be no advantage in
bringing further criminal proceedings
on similar charges, except such as
might be necessary to avoid operation
of the statute of limitation. In cases
in which there is danger of prospec-
tive defendants securing immunity
bv reason of expiration of time, 1t is
intended to have indictments brought
within the time limits, but not to ASK
for further trials until pending ques-
lions are settled.
II is said positively that there is no
change of purpose, either in the inter
Tor. department or the department OF
Justice, to go actively into prosecutor
of land fraud cases, and 1t is stated
that arrangement has been made by
| which strict division of the work II
the cases between the two depart

the department OF Justice will under
take no preliminary investigation, ant

TWO SLIGHTLY HURT
IN FREE-FOR-AL
Red Light District Scene Of a
Lively Scuffle-Wild
Rumor Started.

Last evening a wild rumor was
started on the streets TO the effect
that two men had been killed and
another wounded in a free-for-all
shooting scrape that had occurred
in the Redlight district q the city.
The report was not founded on fact,
as the only damage done in scuffle
that took place was to a bartender in
one of the houses, who sustained two
slight knife wounds and to the man
who, started the trouble and landed in
Jail; ne received a rather thorough
trouncing.
From all the facts that could be
gathered it was learned that a man
named Edward Black, lately arrived
in the district, appeared in one of
the houses about o'clock and after
having had several drinks became en-
gagged in a dispute with the bartender,
named Burt Connors. 1t is alleged
that in the scuffle Black drew knife
from his pocket and started using it
on his opponent When some outsider
jumped in and disarmed Black, who
was then given a severe druDDing by
the bartender. 1t was reported that
Connors Knocked the man to the floor
and then kicked him in the face.
The police were called in and six
officers responded within few min
utes bringing a doctor with them. Con-
nors was found to have sustained a
slight wound in the shoulder and two
scratches on the face, while Black
was almost unrecognizable because
or the blood issuing from wound
on the back of his head, caused by
striking against a chair in falling. It
was thought for a time that he had a
fractured skull but later ii develop
ed that he had sustained no worse
injury than deep cut. Black was
arrested and placed inFJail.

No one HURT
IN WRECK OF
FREIGHT CAR
Diner Attached to Passenger
"Side- Swipes" Box Car,
Throwing Latter, Into Ditch.
Accident UnaccountabIe.

A serious wreck was narrowly avoid
ey yesterday when the afternoon train
from the east was pulling into the To-
cal depot. The engine and all of the
coaches with the exception of the cafe
parlor car passed safely over one OF
the switches. The rear truck of the
last car jumped the switch and travel
ed on the other track until it bumped
a string of freight cars. knocking one
into the outlet of the subway. No one
was hurt.
The switch which caused the trouble
is located about 100 yards down the
track from the depot, and had been
placed in proper position for the in
coming passenger. Engineer James
Baker had slowed down considerably,
and the engine was just at the plat
form when he felt jerk. He imme-
diately reversed the levers and
brought the train to a stop, probably
saving seven or eight people in the
cafe car from serious injury by doing
so.
The rear truck of the diner in some
unaccountable way went of on the
track which joins the main line at an
angle of about Is degrees, thus carry
ing the car along sideways, as the
front truck followed the remainder OF
the train. Anseuser-Busch Brewing
car No. 1869 was on the end of a train
of freight cars standing on the siding
and one corner of it was struck by the
side Of the derailed coach. 1t was
| raised off the trucks and tumbled
over into the ditch twenty feet below
and will probably be total wreck
At this instant Baker brought his train
to q stop, and outside Of the outer
! boards of the diner being ripped on
! for a distance of about five feet nc
| further damage resulted.
In the diner at the time We're Con
ductor Arthur J. ptyburgh and sever
passengers besides the cook and por
! ter No one of them suffered the
slightest injury, but had the train not
stopped when it did, they would have
/ undoubtedly been tumbled into tbs

THE most docile, retiring and
modest little preacher in the land
is worth hell full of such blatant
blasphemers as the notorious Billie
Sunday-the ex-baseball player,
who has way of hypnotizing GER
tain class of people and making
them believe that he is preaching
the gospel of Christ. Such preach
ing gets nothing but the money for
Billie Sunday, and much of the
money comes from fawning hypo-
critics who should be doing some
thing toward the support of their
home preacher.-Mesaba Ore.

Railroad to Mecca.

Announcement has lately been mace
that the railway from Damascus to
Mecca will be completed as far as
Medina on September 1, and that in
two years more the remaining 800
miles to Mecca will be ready for use.
This is one of the most remarkable
railroads in the world Some, If not
all, the money for it's construction has
been contributed by Mussulmans in
British India and in Africa, as well as
in Turkey, and it is regarded by them
as a religious enterprise. 1t Is intend
ed to make easier the pilgrimage to
the holy city. The religious motive
has not only led the faithful in various
parts of the world to contribute
money for the railroad, but, stranger
still, it has led the Turkish officials
and contractors engaged in the actual
work of construction to abstain from
their usual practices of dishonesty,
which in America are in general
way called grating" The road runs
through waterless desert for long
distances, and in these parts has not
cost, including rolling-stock, more
than $12,500 a mile The best record
made in track-laying is two and three
quarter miles in day. Arrangements
are already making in Medina to cele'
brate the entrance of the new road
into the city. While it is religious
enterprise to the Mussulmans, the rest
of the world is aware that it has
great political value to the Turkish
sultan, for it will make it easier for
him to control Arabia by sending
troops there quickly, and it will also
afford an easy route for dispatching
an army to the Egyptian frontier il
case he should think it desirable to
assist the Egyptians in any effort to
throw off British rule.
