LIABILITY LAW SUSTAINED
Railroad Mans Widow Given Yer
dict Under Recent Statute.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 29.-In
the first case brought under the
South Dakota employers liability
law, passed by the 1907 legislature,
the act stood the test of the federal
court and resulted in a verdict of
$4,000 for the widow of Martin
Westby, yard master for the Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad, at Mad
ison. He was run over and killed
in the Madison yards because of the
negligence of other employees Of the
company.
1t is not unlikely that this will be
made the basis of test case in the
United States supreme court to de-
termine the validity of law de-
mying the railroad companies the
right to set up the negligence of a
fellow servant as a defense against
claims for damages. The United
States supreme court has never
passed upon the act as state law,
the federal statute having been de-
clared unconstitutional because,
while passed under the interstate
commerce clause of the constitution,
it undertook to govern cases arts
ing wholly within state. The Mill
waukee & st. Paul railroad, in this
case, it is stated, will appeal to the
circuit court Of appeals and, if neces-
sary, to the highest court.

Discarded Rifles a Menace.

Washington, April 2S-The war de-
.partment is Investigating the extent
to which the sale of discarded fire.
arms by concerns dealing in war
relics and fire arms is being carried
on in large lots at auction.
The government has been in
formed that revolutionists in Central
America, South America and other
foreign countries have obtained old
rifles used in the Spanish-American
war. which have been the cause Of
no end of trouble.
The rifles discarded by European
governments are also often obtained
and sold in large quantities.
Chicago police are complaining,
too, that guns are sold indiscrimin-
ately, for little or nothing, and If
such practice is continued the COM
munity might be imperiled in times
of strikes or riots. Negroes in the
South have grabbed at these bar
gains. and rifles in perfect condition
have been sold for $1.75. For fifty
cents extra, cartridges and bayonets
were obtained.

Amer reports anthrax is spreading

ty, having been called to several
places where horses died Of the dis
ease during the last few days. This
is supposed to be continuation of
the epidemic that caused devasta-

spring, spreading from the north
part of Clay county. Last year the
disease was most prevalent among
cattle but this spring in its recur-
renee it is attacking horses exclu-
lsiyely. Unless stopped by vigorous
measures, it will soon assume threat
iening proportions, because of the
yirulence of the disease.

escape and have asked that force
Of militia be sent to the penitentiary
