RAILROADS WIN IN
FAMOUS RATE SUIT


Chicago. Aug, 24--The permanent
Injunction, sought by the western
railroads, against the Interstate Com
merce commission in the famous Mis-
souri, river rate case, was granted
here today by Judges Grosscup, Baker
and Kohlsaat of the United States
circuit court.
The court also granted a temporary
injunction in the Denver rate case,
which is based on similar principles
as the Missouri river cases. The Den
yer case, involving freight shipments
to Denver instead of to Missouri river
points, is still pending final decision
on a demurrer filed by the Interstate
Commerce commission to the bill Of
complaint of the railroads.

COMMITTED TO The ASYLUM
CONTINUED ILL HEALTH REsPoN-
sIBLE FOR HER PRESENT
CONDITION
ANOTHER INSANE WOMAN
MRS. EVA FIELD, WHOSE MANIA
IS RELIGION, ALSO SENT TO
HOSPITAL

That Mrs. Alice Myrtle Tolle, wife
of ]. H. Tolle, wholesale and retail
liquor dealer of this city, deliberately
attempted to kill herself early Sun
day morning by jumping from sec
ond story window of the Tolle apart
ments over the Thornhill floral and
confectionery store, came to light late
yesterday afternoon. when application
was made in the district court fol
the woman's commitment to the New
Mexico hospital for the insane.
It was at first reported. that while
i'll, Mrs. ToIle had accidentally fallen
out Of the window. but an investiga-
tion By her husband showed the fal'
lacy of this theory. as it is said he
found vial filled with several ounces
of carbolic acid under his wife's pill
low. Fearing she might do something
desperate, and not wishing to let heI
know he suspected her plans to kill
herself, Mr.. Tolle secretly extracted
the bottle of deadly poison and poured
its contents into the kitchen sink, re-
filling the bottle with water and plac-
ing it under his wife's pillow again,
where he had by chance discovered
it. But she evidently discovered the
deception and chose another method
in an attempt to accomplish her pur-
pose.
Mrs. Tolle was severely bruised
and injured internally by her fall
from the window and her condition
became so aggravated yesterday that
attending physicians ! recommended
that she be committed to the asylum,
where she might receive proper treat
ment. After an examination before
Judge w. ]. Mills, at which it was
shown the woman was suffering from
a violent and acute form of insanity,
the court ordered her committed to
the asylum, and she was taken to
that institution late yesterday artel-
noon

HIGH CLASS EQUINES
ENJOY GREATLUXURY

If the ordinary patient in a city
hospital had as good treatment as
the ordinary ailing trotter or PAGER,
the death rate would be lower than
it is now.
1t isn't generally known that for
every first class trotter and PAGER
there is special keeper. He
doesn't have to look after a whole
lot of flyers-just one-a Hamburg
Belle, a Uhlan, a Pensia Maid or
some other fast one.
This trainer is in complete
charge of the horse At night, on
the road, he rolls himself up in a
blanket and lies down to sleep be-
side the horse. The horse under
stands, and in 80 or 40 years of
track history, there has never been
an instance of a fast one, occupying
berth" in a palace car, rolling
over and turting his or her attend
ant.
The care these $4,000 and $780,
000racers get is remarkable. Each
horse has its own medicine chest;
it's own doctor, so to speak. There
is also general plan adopted for
the workout of high priced horse,
but it is flexible plan, and subject
to many alterations to suit the
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-12-03

horses moods.
In the stall Of every fast trotter
or PAGER are there suits of CLOTHES"
, and three sets of harness. 1t is
within the truth to say that horse
knows when a race is on" If the
light harness is brought out the
horse understands at once that it
means business. So, too, does he
know what it means to put on his
ordinary stable garments, his best
clothes or his cooling off rags.
The modern "parlor car" for a
horse is more comfortable than the
average sleeping Car is for a man.
There are shower baths, hot and
| cold water, separate compartments
for each horse and all that sort of
thing. | only wish that when
started on a journey l was sure of
all the comforts as is the high class
trotter or PAGER when it is sent
from one grand circuit city to an
| other.
If the horse has a chill there is
somebody to give it a dose of hot
medicine. If its eyes, ears, head or
feet are not right. there is always a
man to supply the remedy. The
way the modern trotting or pacing
horse is cared for Is the wonder of
| the world.

Manager Jones today. Football is
a game that is played just as easily
in snow as in sunshine. There Is
nothing like a little cold weather
as an appetizer for a football
player. The grandstand facilities
at Recreation park are ample to
care for the crowd SO that the
spectators need fear nothing from
