partment, anticipating favorable ac-
tion by congress on the proposition
to enlist 5000 additional men at high

Claim of the Road.

The railroad company claims that
it may accept from passengers not
only money but anything else at the
valuation which it sees fit to place
upon it.
Another feature of the case is that
the transportation is issued under a
yearly contract, and there is no pro
vision in the contract as to the time
when the advertising is to be inserted
in the periodical. The government
claims that this renders the standard
by which the charges are measured
absolutely indefinite and uncertain.
A Test Proceeding.
The case is a test case brought on a
statement of facts which is typical OF
arrangements which the government
believes to exist between all of the
great railroads of the country and nu-
merous publications.

was low. and the bullet struck the po-
liceman in the knee, shattering the
bone. Two other policemen rushed
to the assistance Of their fallen officer,
and one Of them succeeded in bring
ing K1dder to the floor with a bullet
But the piucky ranger, after he was
down. kept on firing, and succeeded
in killing both of the policemen.
II is charged by Kidder's friends
that after he was down and out and
could not further harm any one, 9TH
er policemen jumped on him, kicked
him. and otherwise injured him. Kid
ders dying statement was to the eff
feet that while he lay wounded on the
floor he was brutally kicked and beat
Ell and dubbed over the head with a
rife. A post-mortem examination re-
veased the fact that several of Kid
der's ribs had been broken, and that
he had several bad scalp wounds.
Arizona papers assert that kdder
was the victim of a deliberate plot:
hat he was decoyed across the inter
national line Intentionally and that
the quarrel was started to give his
enemies a chance to get him. Kid
der was one of the best known Off
GERS on the ranger force, and had
made some enemies across the line.
He was reputed to be the quickest
man with gun on the force, and at
