Minot, N. d., May 25.-The
democrats of the county who are
in the field for the various county
Offices commenced mandamus pro-
ceedings this morning to compel
the county auditor to receive and
file their petitions and place their
names on the official ballot with
out the payment of fee, claim
ing that the law requiring a fee is
unconstitutional. The case was
heard before Judge Goss this af-
ternoon and the court held that
the law is unconstitutional and or
dered the auditor to receive the
petitions. Nearly all of the can
didates who have filed petitions
have paid the fee required under
protest, and all of the fees collect
ed by the auditor will be refunded.

The implement men as we'll as
the farmers of the state, are de-
lighted over the rains which have
been falling for the past few
days, and they say that it is very

conditions were very good before
the rain they have now been made
much better and there is every in
dication of a bumper crop to be
harvested this coming fall.
Reports from over the state in

eral and in many places was heav-
ier than it was here.
About all the implement men

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
MAKES RULES REGARDING PASSES

Notice of a ruling by the inter-
state commerce commission which
is of interest to railroad employees
all over the country has been re-
ceived at the local railroad offices.
For some time it has been a ques-
ton whether or not railroad en-
ployes who we're on a leave of alb
sence and not drawing salaries
from the railroads at the time
could legally be given passes.
The question was brought be-
fore the commission, which has
promulgated the following ruling:
ANY employe who has not
been suspended or dismissed from
the service, but who is on leave of
absence for sixty days and is still
carried on the roll Of employees of
the carrier as an employe, and
as such may lawfully be given
transportation"
The new ruling will enable rail
road employees and their families
to enjoy vacations of considerable
length and still travel free.
The commission has also ruled
that the ''hours of service law"
applies to electric transit compan-
les during an interstate business,
as we'll as to regular railroads.

effects of the good prospects can
be felt in the city and many or
ders are being filled on the strength
of these prospects. Much of the
wheat is we'll up now. Tray
cling statesmen who cover the
state say that in sections the
wheat is three inches high and
looking fine. There is a good
even stand and it is very clean as
a usual thing.

Thousands Go Out of Town
to Enjoy Themselves
Elsewhere.
RAIN MARS LOCAL FESTIVITIES
Day In General Was Celebrated With
Much Enjoyment Despite
Threatening Weather.

Hmmond celebrated the Fourth Of
July last Saturday with its customary
zeal and enterprise. The weather man
started to block the celebration earlier
in the day and he did succeed in put
ting a few nasty and uncalled for
crimps in it. 1t looked bad in the af-
ternoon. shortly before l o'clock. The
W R c. had decked out Harrison Park
in gala attire and people had begun
to arrive in large numbers after the
parade for the afternoon festivities at
the park. The green sward was dotted
with white dresses and save for a
few refreshment stands there was abso-
lutely no shelter for the crowds that as
sembled With but little warning big
black clouds began to scurry up out of
the west and a few drops fell. The
crowd began to scatter for the adjoin-
ing porches and trees and then the
rain came down in torrents for about
five minutes. The decorations were
spoiled and many of the women in
white were soaked Fortunately the
sun same out and dried things up in
a hurry Then the exercises and pro-
gram of amusements were carried on.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon there
were 1000 people in the park and they
were variously entertained.
Lots Go Out of Town.
Thousands of people went out of
town to be entertained. The morning
trains that went through the city east
and west. We're so crowded that 1t was
impossible to get seats on them. The
Kankakee River, Dyer, Cedar Lake,
st. John, Crown Point Kouts. Lowell,
Miller station. Indiana Harbor. Gary,
and Chicago claimed hundreds of Ham
mond people on Saturday.
In the evening many took advantage
Of the beautiful evening and went to
Lake Front park and the Chicago
amusement parks A big crowd of
baseball fans went up in the after
noon TO see the ball games. Hundreds
of householders in the city had private
display of fireworks at their homes
and some of the exhibitions in Home
wood were particularly fine. There
was a picnic dance in Harrison Park
in the evening which was a source OF
amusement for many.

MACHINE IS WRECKED
Hammond Doctors Auto
Meets With Bad Luck
Near Dyer Yesterday.

PUZZLE-Why did DR.. II. c. Groman
jump from his automobile yesterday
leaving it to upset thus causing n wheel
TO be torn off and causing other internal
injuries TO the machine. The question
Is but natural when the circumstances
are learned.
Dr. Groman and his bride of two
weeks were stalled yesterday forenoon
in their machine between Chicago
Heights and Dyer. The physician hav-
ing applied all the medical aid that he
knew telephoned to the hospital, the
Hammond garage and summoned an
other machine with instructions that
the driver bring a rope along. The rope
was intended to tote in DIR. Gromans s
machine to Hammond. To tighten the
burden in the injured machine Jos
Worland, the driver for the auto from
the garage, suggested that Mrs. Groman
sit in the rear seat of the garage ma
chine and thus leave her husband to
steer the machine in tow After a few
minor objections to his lonesome posi-
ton the doctor consented to this ar
rangement. Everything went well until
the party was near Lansing when the
physician lost control of his machine
which followed a the rate of twelve
miles an hour. Suddenly the occupant
let go of the steering wheel and hoped
out of the machine, picking himself up
by the roadside. Driverless the ma
chine steered for itself and finally
overturned breaking off one of the rear
wheels.
With the exception of his feelings
DR.. Groman was uninjured The
wrecked machine was let out in the
country and a wagon was sent for
it from Hammond the party having
finished the balance of the trip in the
auto from the garage.
Dir. Groman's machine is nearly
ruined

.L|GON JUB|LANT
IN HIS HAPPINESS
Witnesses Testify At Terre Haute
Trial That Hammond Lad Was
Shot While His Back Was Turned
to Revival Convert Who Then Shot
Him Dead

Roy Ligon, the 13-year-O1d murderer.
Mt Terre Haute, and the youth who
shot and killed Fred Koch, son of Ber-
nard Koch, of Hammond in n cOwardIy
manner, was placed on trial last Satur-
day for murder in the criminal court at
Terre Haute, and the preliminary hear
ing was productive of the most sensa-
tionaI results.
MAKE MARKS OF THEMSELVES.
The women and girl members of the
United Brethren church, during whose
revival Lyon was recently converted,
simply packed the court room. They
brought flowers to the young murderer
and they had all contributed toward
buying him a handsome bible. The
court room fairy swarmed with the
feminine sex and they gave Ligon
every attention they possibly could.
WITNESSES BLAME LIGON.
The testimony introduced showed
that Ligon had shot the Hammond boy
in most cowardly and un-called for
manner. Ligon got on the witness
stand and said that the Hammond boy
had taunted him because he had joined
the church, and that he had struck
Ligon first. Il did not shoot at him un-
til he struck at me. said the murderer
In this he was not substantiated. Wit
nesses however, took the stand and de-
clared that Koch was moving away and
had his back turned to Ligon when the
later drew his revolver and fired at
Koch The Hammond boy fell in his
tracks and died soon after.
WOMEN KISS LIGON.
Ligon declared that the only regret
he had was that Koch, not being
Christian. had gone to hell" The muir
derer was bound over to the yermillion
county court for trial AS soon as the
hearing was over, women and girls, de-
spite the efforts of the officers of the
court to prevent, crowded around Lyon
and kissed and carressed him. The
dastardly murderer was made a hero
of. He was almost jubilant with hap
piness and the fanatical women who
stood at his side, gave him the impress
sion that he had done just right.
