In the estimation of great manv
persons the most important legislation
affecting railroads passed during the
session was the Allen bill to virtually
take the place of any demurrage legis-
lation. After the demurrage fight of two
years ago Senator Allen Of Pocahontas
conceived the idea that if the qualify
ing phrases could be taken out of the
code where it refers to the duty of a
railroad to furnish cars thus putting
the responsibility for failure to fur
nish cars on the company, all need of
dernurrage laws would be obviated. His
bill was at that time strongly de-
nounced by the railroads. He intro
duced it against the beginning of the
session and Saturday the house passed
it without debate, about AN that was
said in its favor being that "Joe" Allen
was its author. All the railroads can
do now is to fall back on common law
.precedents as to the difficulty of fol-
lOWlllS IL ldIu ctuus last uiC DIS " LUZ
nishing cars, while heretofore the code
itself furnished them all the excuse
they could ever desire.
The appropriation bill for the state
historical society at Iowa City, as 1T
has passed the house, increases the an
nual allowance of the department by
$1,000 which gives it annually $4,000.
No restrictions are placed on its use.
There was some talk of limiting the
use of the funds, because of the fact
that under present arrangements the
state has been spending money for
travels and study in Europe, but the
house did not care to do this. The bill
for the Iowa historical department has
not yet been acted upon. 1t fixes the
salaries and defines what shall be done
with each item of expenditure.

HOT MASON CITY CAMPAIGN.
Largest Number Notes Ever Cas-
There Expected to Ee PolIed.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, March 29.-According
to the number Of those registered, and
Judging from the vote polled at noon
today, the largest number of votes
ever cast in Mason City, will be
counted tonight. A hot campaign has
just been closed. Sunday morning a
special edition was published by the
weekly Republican, under head. Equal
Taxation Bulletin" This was the last
shot Of the Cummings forces. Satur-
day and Sunday the campaign lie
flew thick and fast, the supporters of
each candidate entering into the con-
test eagerly.
That the interest in the campaign is
intense, has been evidenced by the
fact that members of women's lodges
and even the school children, have in
dulged in straw votes. Four candi-
dates seem to have good chance of
success. OF these, two, Shots and
Cummings are generally conceded to
be the favorites. kirschmand and
Nutting, the other two, both have
large followings. Supporters of temper
ance are generally following Shots, in
spite of talk on the part of the Cum
mings forces, to prove that the former
is in favor of saloons.

reached here at noon.
There was no demonstration against
the man, however, and the trip to the
police station, two blocks away, was
without event except for the crowd
following. After leaving Mercer Boyle
became very nervous and repeatedly
asked the sheriff If he expected any
trouble here. Altho assured there
would be none, Boyle was not satisfied.
AS the train pulled into the Sharon
station the prisoner, thru a window,
saw the crowd and collapsed. Accord
ing to the sheriff Boyle is now highly
unstrung, and apparently his entire
nervous system is shattered. Boyle was
locked in a cell until the hearing at
this afternoon.
On the instructions Of ex-Judge Mil
ler, his attorney, Boyle waived hearing
on the abduction charge before Justice
Gilbert this afternoon. AS Boyle left the
Justices office the crowd made a rash
towards him, and for a moment he
paled, but it was soon apparent the
crowd desired only to gea a. good LOOK
at the man. Arrangements We're i'm
mediately made to take him back to
Jail at Mercer on the afternoon train.

DEFEAT FOR BRIERBAcH.
Decision Goes Against Only Saloon
Man in Harrison County.

Special to Times Republican.
Logan, March 29.-The people of
Harrison county are happy over the
verdicts returned Saturday afternoon
against August Brierbach, the saloon
keeper of Missouri Valley. County At
torney Smith has been after Mr.. Brier-
bach with hammer and anvil, and has
hung to him with a determination
worthy of the cause AS Mr.! Brierbach
was running the only saloons in the
county, and as he has been turned
down in the six cases which have
come up for hearing, the verdict
means the destruction of the five wag-
onloads of liquor captured at Missouri
Valley, unless Mr.. Brierbach appeals.
and his appeal is thought to be very
improbable, because of the nature o3
the evidence against him.

! Oklahoma City, Okla, March %
One hundred Creek Indians, halfbreeds
and negroes, under personal command
of Chief Crazy Snake, were early today
Iretreating before five companies of de-
termined Oklahoma militiamen, in an
effort to reach a stronghold in the Ii
ger mountains and make final stand
against the troops.
The mlitiamen were ordered out yes
terday by Governor Haskell as a result
of an uprising that came after a CLASH
at the home of Crazy Snake, in which
Marshal Baum and Deputy Sheriff
Odom were killed.
Hickory Hills camp, which had been
hastily evacuated by Crazy Snake at
their approach. AT break of day they
moved forward to give battle to. the
redskins.
Refuses to Fight in Open.
Meanwhile the chief, thru the agency
of his sleepless scouts, had led his
forces away, apparently not daring to
fight their white foes in the open The
militiamen at this juncture pushed for
ward at double quick. The indians
were ten miles away from them, but
they were determined the redskins
should not be allowed to- choose the
battle ground and thus gain an enor-
nous advantage. The troops outnunl-
bered the Indians three to one, and the
officers knew that could the opposing
forces meet in the open there could be
only one outcome. The Indians would
have to surrender or be killed. Once
hills. tho, the result would not be sure.
At the rate Of progress they are maxi
ing the troops were in fair way TO
overhaul the Indians shortly after noon
and force them to fight under condi
tions unfavorable to the arms of Crazy
Snake.
Like Old Times.
Night passed without any undue
alarms after the soldiers had bivouack-
ed at the Indians forsaken camping
grounds. Firing was heard here and
there. but this was due to restless row.

The Indians themselves kept closely

Frontiersmen acting as scouts for tha
state troops passed most of the night
in or near the Indians camp. These re-
turned shortly after daybreak with
news that the old chieftain's forces
were showing signs of disintegration.
The halfbreeds and negroes, overawed
at the unusually active measures of the
whites and the certainty of crushing
defeat should a clash come, were coun-
selling either abject flight or complete
surrender. To these propositions Crazy
Snake made a contemptuous refusal.
Indians Are Bold.
He said all those who feared might
go at once, but that all who had real
hearts would stay by him and help his
force fully to redress the wrongs un-
der which his people writhed To a
man the creeks expressed their inten-
ton of staying by the undertaking and
of the fighting the states soldiers to the
death. So enthusiastic did they be-
come after Crazy Snakes appeal that a
war dance was started and the camp
was in an uproar for the balance of
the night.
