i The effect OF the action last night
is variously regarded Adicers OF the
railroad promoters contend that the
effect will be to hold the matter In
allegiance till the next meeting OF the
council, on February 10, when the
motion to reconsider the vote by
which tho ordinances were passed
|may be voted on, Others contend
that the ordinances arc now dead;
that the rules in tho ret CT Incorpora-
ton prescribe that the veto message
shall be submitted "at the next regu.
lar meeting of the city council" fol.
lowing the passage OF the ordinance,
and the words: Upon the return of
any ordnance by the mayor the vot
by which the samo was passed shallI
be reconsidered by the council" mean
that this must be dcne at once. Tie
words, Upon the return" are inter
! reted as admitting of no delay. Against
this 1t is claimed that motion to |
adjourn is always In order and an |
adjourned meeting is but continue
ton OF the same meeting, and if tnr |
motion to reconsider Is made and |
voted upon Immediately upon the con-
vening of the council in adjourned |
1t will be compliance with
tho rules.

The mayors two messages are un
lquestionably strong documents. Thel
challenge the approval of thinking
lcitizens generally. as presenting oh
jections to the ordinances, which fully
justified his action. That his objec.
items were not unreasonable is fully
attested by the ready consent given
even by Mr.. Fischer. of the Mckinley
Company, to the amendments offered
by His Honor. With SO ittle--in fact.
with nothing at ALTO differ about in
what the ordinances should provide
for, there seems to be nothing In the
way of agreement, except a iittlo dis
trust between two parties CT citizens
who are all deeply interested in the

ably be allayed in very llttlo while.

that the matter will be Satisfactorily

when the following subject was
discussed: Resolved That Circum-

The debators on the negative side
of the question won out in the
contest by an almost unanimous
vote.
The entire audience was made the
judges, and the affirmative received
but one vote. Rev. Peart of this
city discussed the negative side of
the question that man is the archi-

success depends upon his own efforts.

Conductor John Hurley stepped
to the side of the caboose, lust in
time to note the body of a man
lying almost against the wheels, and
he Immediately gave signel to

train, but not in timeto save Coch-
rane from being terribly injured.
Several passengers who got off the
Bemidji train were standing neal, and
willing hands soon had the unfortun-
ate man from under the trucks onto
the platform.
The wheels of the car had pas ed
over his legs, and both limbs were
almost entirely severed above the
knee, and blood was flowing in
stream from the wounds.
When Cochrane was picked up,
he was unconscious, and his eyes
already had the CLASSY stare of
death, and from the amount of
blood that was issuing from his
wounds it was plain that he could
not survive.
Z Cochrane was placed in the
caboose,. and the train hurriedly
taken to Blackduck, seven miles
distant, where there was hospital;
but when the train reached that
place, Cochrane was practically
dead. He gave but slight tremor
when being taken from the car at
Blackduck, and his death was
certain when the body arrived at
the hospital. .-- 49,
John Cochrane has had a varied
career. .. ~. . -.... -
Born of well-to-do parents, he
received an excellent education and
in his early manhood held several
fine positions. 1t is said that his
fondness for strong drink drove him
to accept the life of lumberjack,
and it was while enroute to the
woods that he met his death.
He is quite well known in Mime
apolis and St. Paul, but has worked
in northern Minnesota for the last
five years. ~

the knees, and death ensuing at
Blackduck, half an hour afterward,

to Kelliher to begin work in the
woods. 49,"
Cochrane was under the influence
of liquor, and while he was on the
train followed A. G.. Rutledge of
Bemidji out of one car onto the
platform of the adjoining car. AS
Cochrane passed out of the car Mr..
Rutledge happened to glance behind
and saw that CoChrane was about to
pitch headforemost from the plat
form. Mr.. Rutledge grabbed Coch-
rane and pulled him inside the car,
telling him that as the latter was in
toxicated he had better keep his
seat until the train reached Funkley,
where change is made to another
for Kelliher. .- Il
Cochrane stepped from the Be.
midi train onto the Funkley plat
form, and later walked to where
the Fankley tram was standing
on the sidetrack nearby.
AS Cochrane attempted to step to
the platform of the caboose on the
Kelliher train, he fell under the
front end of the car, immediately
on the track, close to the wheels.
