TRA|NMEN OPPOSE
 RATE LEGISLATION
Passenger Conductor Gives Reasons For Being Against
 the Bill

After having been in Phoenix for several days, where be went as rep resentatiye of the railroad conductors on the Fl Paso and Southwestern and of other organizations of railroad men on that railroad, Conductor Tom Pur- cell returned to the city this morning.
 He stated that he was appointed as 3 representative of the variDls organ izations of the railroad eu r.f yes to go to Phoenix and m iEe protest against the passage of an: measure which would have for it's pGrpose the reduction of the present passenger rates on railroads in this territory. At
 Phoenix he joined other representa- i tive railroad men from every section of the territory and from every i'm ! portant railroad line. Those who were delegated to go to Phoenix to object to the reduction of the passenger rates | being changed in the territory repre- sented 3450 men. members of the va rious organizations of railroad cm- | ployes.
 Tt is not a fear that the wages 1 paid trainmen will be reduced if the new fare bill is passed" said Mir. Purcell this morning. but 1t Is the danger of having passenger crews laid of and the passenger coaches hitched to the end of freight trains which is now the case on many of the short mining roads of the territory. We rail road men fear the danger of laying off crews much more than we fear any reduction of wages of those who will have employment.
 T know it to be fact that Nos. g and i, the trains I have been running from Douglas and Benson for several years, have not carried a sufficient number of passengers during the past year to pay the expense of operating these trains.
 "The railroad men were in Phoenix to protest against such legislation as would, in their opinion. result in loss of employment of many of the rail road men in the territory. The laying of of trains would not only effect the crews on the abandoned trains. but il would effect the men employed in the shops, who are now very short on work The proposed legislation would also effect the public in case passenger trains were abandoned ana passenger coaches were hauled by the freight crews
 Mir Purcell stated that the railroad delegation in Phoenix were courteous ly treated and that he had reason to believe that their trip had resulted in giving to members of the' legisla- ture a better understanding of the conditions which effected the passeu- ger traffic of railroads than they had before.

An acnte catarsh, that Is cold, is always the result of undue exposure to low temper stures.

FL PASO. Feb. l1.--Stating that girls from 10 to F years Of age were being held in the heart of Fl PasO for commercial purposes, the Rev. K. W. Merrill, who was appointed proba- ton officer some time ago. appeared before the county commissioners ask ing that that body take steps for the establishment of a home for children who are being brought up as criminals CT into life of shame.
 T am reliably informed said Dr. Merrill, that there are several houses in the center of the city where girls of young age are kept. and there are many instances where parents have actually sold their young girls into the underworld. want to tell you this because 1 believe that there is a broad field for action along this line for the people to dc."
 No action was taken by the com. mission on the matter. but it will doubtless be brought up again during the week. Dr. Merrill is serving as probation officer without salary. be. ing the pastor of the Highland Park Baptist eh6rch, but 1t is understood that there is a movement on foot to have salary created for the office, as the probation work Is taking . large part of the officers time.

ACT Of A MAD MAN
WILLIAM TIBBITTS KILLED TWO
GIRLS, ONE HIS DAUGHTER.
After Slaughtering the Innocents, He
Made an Unsuccessful Attempt to
Burn the Farm House; Last Act
of the Tragedy Was to Hang Him

From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Redwood Falls, Aug. 3l,-William Tib-
bits, farmer who lived near Delhi
in this county, killed two young girls,
one his own daughter, at ii a. m.
yesterday. Then, after making an UNI
successful attempt to burn his farm
house and cremate their bodies, he
hurried to his barn and hanged him.
self.
The victims of the supposed maniac
were his ten year old daughter and &C.
cile Norton, about eighteen years OF
age, daughter of his housekeeper, Mrs.
Rose Norton. More lives might have
been sacrificed but for the fact that
Mrs. Norton, who has been employed
by Tibbitts since the death of his wife
two months ago, was visiting at her
former home at ST. Paul Park, MINI.
With her were the two youngest daugh-
tiers of Tibbitts.
Were Struck From Behind.
The hapless victims of the farmer
were slain with heavy piece of iron
either an iron stake or long tooth
from some farm machine. No one so
far as known saw the killing. The
girls could have had no chance at all
for their lives. Everything indicates
that their slayer struck them from be-
hind and crushed their skulls at the
first blow. Many blows from the deadly
weapon then followed, their heads and
upper portions of their bodies being cut
and bruised in horrible manner.
Preserve Bodies From Cremation.
The girls were killed either in the
house or just outside the door. Their
bodies were found under some hay in
the house. Tibbitts had taken hay
from the barn and covered the corpses,
then setting fire to it. His little boy
saw the smoke rushing from the build
ing and summoned the neighbors, who
arrived just in time to save the build
ing and preserve the bodies of the dead
girls from cremation.
1t was when the nei9hbors were
bending their energies to eXtinguish the
flames that Tibbitts ran to the barn
and completed the days tragedies.
Tibbitts was about seventy years of
age and was well thought of in this
community The sheriff and county at
