R44vlNE MUST PAY
Jeffery Company Demands Damages for
the Damage Done to an Automobile

Jeffery Company Demands Damages for
the Damage Done to an Automobile
The city Of Racine will be asked to
pay the Jeffrey company of this city
1898 for damages to Rambler automo-
bile, caught and squeezed at the Main
street bridge in Racine on Tuesday
evening.
Kearney, Thompson and Myers have
been retained to collect the amount.
The claim was presented to City Clerk
Armstrong Of Racine, this morning by
Attorney Myers, and if the council re-
fuses to allow the amount, suit will be
commenced to recover.
It will be remembered that Hans
Tronvig Of Kenosha, with his brother,
was taking an automobile to MilWau-
kee, where the car had been bought.
Approaching Main street bridge, the
signal had been given for a vessel to
pass through and the chain guards were
u. at each end.
Tronvig failed to see the chain and
was against it when warned by a spec
tator. He killed the power on his ma
chine, but the front wheels were on the
bridge and rear on the approach and
the bridge swung and dragged the auto
mobile up against the iron poles to the
est, badly wrecking it.
After the machine was taken back
to Kenosha the damage was placed at
$i38, and the bill sent to the law firm
to collect. The bridge tender, Captain
Griffith, claims that he did all the law
requires, to protect people when the
bridge was about to be opened, but
Tronvig claims the accident was
through carelessness. That the city
will refuse the claim seems likely and
then there will. be a law suit.

LAND FOR SETTLERS
Uncle Sam to offer Many Farms in

The Rosebud Indian reservation lands
which under the proclamation of the
president ale to be disposed of by lots
terry on October 10, are located on the
! south side Of the state of South Dako-
ia and adjoln the lands in Gregory
lcounty winch were opened in 1904.
Fhey are said to be very desirable for
farming and stock raising purposes,
land similar lands in adjoining counties
Iare selling for good prices. Tie plan
adopted for this registration and draw
ling is similar to that used in the Gre
fgory system, but certain Objectionable
features which opposed hardships on
applicants for registration have been
eliminated. At the Gregory at former
openings applicants were required to
appear in person and stand in line, of
ten for considerable length of time,
Until officers of the government ex-
amined into and determined their quail
ihcations and registered them, while
at this opening no line will be formed
and the people Will be permitted to
send in their applications by mail, or
otherwise, to the superintendent, after
they have been sworn to in Dallas,
Chamberlain, Gregory or Presho, South
Dakota, or at O'Nein or Valentine,
Neb.
Soldiers who served for three months
during the Civil war, the Spanish
American war or the Philippine insur-
rection, will not be required to visit, the
towns mentioned for the purpose of
registering, but may register through
an agent.
Persons who are successful in the
drawing will be permitted to make en-
try Of one-quarter section or less, under
the homestead laws, at some date after
March |, 1909 and may obtain title by
making, the required residence and cul-
tiVation and the payment Of Sc an
acre for all lands entered prior to
June l, 1909, or $3.50 an acre for lands
entered under the president procla-
nation after that date. There are no
settlements on any of these lands and

suitable places and reserved for home
stead entry, before March l, 1909.

CUT MEAT PRICES
The Rival Stockyards Being Built
in Chicago Will Enter the
Markets About Oct.
OFFER NEW PLAN FOR PUBLIC

Competition-the genuine sort that
is said to mean cuts in prices of meat
is scheduled to make it's appearance
IN the beef trade about Oct. l.
An independent concern has been in
colporated under the name Of the
"Chicago Stockyards and Transit Com
pany" as a rival of the Union Stock
yards and Transit company. The indie
pendent concern has purchased twenty
acres of land at 1nlrty-ninth street and
Forty eighth avenue, and is building
great cattle pens and packing house.
Ii has a capital stock amounting to
$2,500,O00 Of which $1,5OO,OOO is to be
spent for the packing house and other
structures.
Real competition is announced to be-
gin on Oct. /, although the concern is
doing small business now, but has
no downtown distributing point Ac-
cording to H. w. Rockwell, one of the
incorporators, the benefits Of competi-
i>tion will be enjoyed by the cattle
raiser, the butcher and the consumer.
This, he said, would result from the
fact that the new company intends to
cut under the regular schedule Of
prices maintained by the Union stock
yards in every particular. Instead of
being compelled to pay IS cents day
for each head of stock kept in the
yards while awaiting a purchaser, said
he, the stock man would pay an in
itital cost Of but IL CENTS Instead of
paying uniform price of ST. a bushel
for corn used in feeding, the market
price will be charged. Instead of pay
ing $40 ton for straw used in feed
ing and bedding 81 and S. is given as
the new price to the stock raiser.
Moreover, the new concern says that
the stock man may purchase feed
elsewhere instead of being compelled
to take that offered by the packers,
as now is the case.
But another important advantage
given by Rockwell is that the con-
Germ owns it's switch track and will
be compelled to pay no track charges
such as now are charged by the Union
Stockyards company. Thee beef
trust, - according to Rockwell, charges
So a year for all trains hauled over the
Chicago Junction railway, which it is
reputed to control.
