SUES RAILROAD
H. F. German Says he was Elected
From Train at Twodot Under
Humiliating Circumstances.

The trial of the suit of H. f. Cor
man against the Montana Railroad
company was started yesterday morn
ing. The case promises to be one Of
the most interesting ones on the pres
ent calender.
Mr.. German, travelling salesman for
Swift & Co., with headquarters at
present in Portland, Oregon, but
former resident of Helena, is suing to
recover 81, $50 as a result of being
elected from a train on the Montana
railroad after he had offered to pay
his transportation from Great Nor
thern interchangeable mileage book.
The alleged ejectment took place at
Twodot, Mont, one of the stations
on the above mentioned road.
The plaintiff on the witness stand
in response to questions propounded
by A. B. Haywood, the plaintiffs at
torney, stated that he boarded the
train at Harlowton, intending to go
to Martinsdale. He presented his
mileage book when the conductor
came to collect his fare. The con-
ductor informed him that he had been
instructed not to honor mileage book
transportation and that he would have
to pay cash fare. The witness re-
fused and the conductor told him he
would have to get off at the next sta
tiOn. The witness stated that when
he arrived at Twodot he took his
grips and left the train. He stated
he was "guyed," SO to speak, by some
of the passengers on the train and
suffered considerable humiliation. He
said his anger was augmented the
longer he remained at Twodot. He
stated that he took the next train out
of Twodot, presented the same trans
portation book that he had presented
to the conductor of the other train
and that it was accepted.
On cross examination the witness
stated that he had some cash in his
pockets and would have paid the cash
fare if he had so desired, and that he
| would probably have been reimbursed
by Swift and Co. had he done so.

the evidence are: Frank Lambert

Wilmore, A. f. Bucholz, S. S. Bennett

Death Sunday Morning by
His Horse.

Peter HagersLau, ranch hand
working for Frank Williams at Big
Elk, was dragged to death by his horse
while returning from Twodot Sunday
morning. Mr.. Hagerstad had been
at Twodot until about 2 O'Clock Sun

fluence of liquor when he left for the
ranch. One of the stirrups on the
saddle was broken, so Mr.. Hagerstad
tied rope to the saddle to act in the
place of stirrup. 1t is thought that
while on his way home the horse be-
came frightened and through its
rider, his foot remaining in the rope
stirup, and in such a manner it is
thought he was dragged to death. The
body of the unfortunate man was
found Sunday on bridge about six
miles from Twodot. 1t could be seen
by the road that he had been dragged
for nearly a mile, before he was torn
loose from the frightened horse.

open.

on ranch near Frank Williams, and
this is the only relative that he has
here in Montana. The funeral was

posed fire with the chemical engine.
Just as they were about to start the
chemical engine to work Ben Urner
and Joe Labrie came out of the shed
and innocently asked what was up.
1t developed later that Ben had been
fixing up his auto, causing the shed
to fill with smoke, which crept out of
the cracks in the building and made
it appear as though the building was
burning on the inside.

NEW NAMES
Hedges and Bercail, two Live Towns
on the B. & N, to Have Names
Changed.

1t is understood that the Billings
& Northern Townsite company has
taken up the matter with the Great
Northern to change the name OF
Hedges to Yale, or rather drop the
townsite name for the post office ap-
pelation. The postal department at
Washington turned down the name OF
Hedges as a post office in Montana,
because of the possible conf1iction
with an office in this state called
Hodges.
1t is also reported that the Great
Northern railroad station, Bercail
will be changed to Nihill. This is
being recommended on account of the

distress and were told by white man
who lived with the natives the cause
of all the woe and suffering.
Just a few days before. he said, a

them.
BY show of arms they drove the in

only all the furs and other valuables

storerooms of the winters supply of
provisions. They left that settlement
practically without bite to eat, and
the people were in danger of starving

The schooner had anchored too far

The visit is significant in that being

However, the visit has caused much
embarrassment at court because OF the
difficulty of placing the former Count

was recently given the title of duchess

the decision to invite no woman of

the duchess will rank next to the en-
