CANT STILL AT
LARGE IN S. D.
STORY FROM ABERDEEN TO THE
EFFECT THAT CANT WAS
JUSTIFIED IN SHOOT
ING MAXWELL.

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 1.-The latest
reports from the murderer, Henry
Cant, who is being pursued through
northern South Dakota from Engle-
vale, N, D., when he shot Louis Max
well, are to the effect that he is still
at large. The fugitive is headed for
the Indian reservations, and posses
are watching all the crossings Of the
Missouri river in Walworth county.
in the hope of apprehending him.
Stories from Englevale indicate that
the murdered is not altogether to
blame. They state the Cant boys had
been working for Maxwell, and quit,
going to Englevale, where they pur-
chased tickets for Mobridge. They
were too late to catch a train, and
entered a pool hall, where Maxwell
later came and began abusing the
boys, finally attacking them, when
Henry drew his revolver and fired.
Maxwell also kept out SIS of the
wages due the Giants, it is stated, on
the ground that one of the boys had
insulted his wife, The story is that
If the Giants had not lost their heads
and fed, it is probable a coroner's s.
jury would have exonerated them, but
they were among strangers, and after
the shooting feared for their lives and

MAN A MERE BoTcH.
But Just Wait Until Surgeons Pry His
Face Into Shape.

Boston, Dec. Leading Boston
surgeons are working on these ideas
for improving man:
Enlarge the Jaws to make room for
the teeth and give the face chance to
develop.
Cut out six feet of the large intes-
tine, an operation which incidentally
may aid digestion.
Straighten the toes so that a man
or woman may achieve a graceful and
healthful gait.
DIR. Edward H. Nichols, one of the
most famous specialists In the country
on Intestinal operations, summed up
the present advance today by the re-
mark
Intestine Six Feet Too Long.
1T is evident enough that as much
as six feet of the large intestine may
be removed and the patient recover
To take out more than six feet is not
successful in majority of cases, but
the theory has been advanced that a
mans digestion is better when he has
a shortened intestine"
To take in the two other extremes
of the body, the toes and the teeth,
there is an equal chance OF improve
ment on nature, according to the ex-
perts. DIR. E. H. Bradford, who has
lecrured before the Harvard medical
school on the subject of orthpedic
surgery, declared that the average city
man could improve his feet, his manner
of walking and his general health by.
going barefoot a few weeks every sum
mer as preliminary to getting in shape
to wear sensible shoes.
Teeth Very uneomeIy.
But 1t is in the careful operau don on
the teeth that the most palpable i'm
provement is to be found, according
to men who have made this their life
study, since they declare by most adj
vanced methods the very shape of a
mans face may be changed, along with
his health and in some cases, his dis.
position and psychological attitude.

TRYING A HORSE CASE
NOhIs-kennsdy Action Goes to Jury
in District Court Late This
Afternoon.

Late yesterday afternoon the case of
A. F. Noble of Buford, NJ D., against
James Kenendy of this city, was start
ed in the district court The action
involves the suit for a settlement for
a car of horses. The plaintiff was Of
fered $4,000, but held out for $2,350.
There is some question as to the size
and contract price. When the horses
reached here they were several hum
dred pounds, each, under weight. The
plaintiff this morning claims that this
is accounted for by shrinkage. Judge
Engerud appears for the plaintiff and
Turner & Wright for the defendant.
A motion for a directed verdict for
the plaintiff in the sum Of $4,000 was
denied this morning. The issue will
be placed In the hands of the jury,
probably late this afternoon.

Judae sanborn,s opinion.

New York Journal of Commerce:
A careful perusa, Of the text of the
opinion of Judge Sanborn in the case
of the Standard Oil Co, concurred in
by the other three judges of the cir
cult court of appeals in the Eighth
circuit, can hardly fail to convince any
unbiased mind that the combination
effected through the organization Of
the New Jersey corporation and it's
control of subsidiary companies was
in restraint Of trade among the states
and with foreign nations, and mo-
nopoly or attempted monopoly of an
important part of that trade.

PLAN WAR ON RusTLERs.
Montana stockmen Form Organization
to Punish Horse Thieves.

Helena, Mont, Dec. Ito rid this
country of horse thieves, stockmen Of
Canyon Creek, Little Prickly Pear, the
Big Blackfoot, Bald Butte. Ten Mile
and the valley recently organized a
secret association which will take dras-
tic measures, including hanging If need
be, to stamp out the traffic which has
cost the farmers and stockmen of this
country thousands Of dollars annually
for many years.
Detectives haveb cen hired and evil
dence is now being gathered, and when
the time is ripe 1t is the intention Of
the association to strike such a blow
that the thieves will not dare to modest
the animals on the range for years to
come.
How Chain System Works.
This much has been learned from a.
member OF the association. but it's inn
mediate future plans he refused to dis
cuss, contenting himself with the sig
niflcant statement: Wait and see."
Asked how the thieves operated, the
stockman said: Most OF the thieves
own a brand and have one or two ami
mails Of their own out on the range.
They are always looking for their
horses
when they are found they round
them up. and incidentally drive along
some other owners animals They may
be taken 1--WE or they may be taken ten
miles. Then the thief drops them and
takes his own horses to his ranch.
Another member of the gang is wait
ing. He is also out after his horses:
he picks up the band which the first
thief dropped and drives them still
farther away from the accustomed
range. Al third thief takes them and
in this way they are quickly driven
out of the country, some to Canada
and some to Dakota. This IL the so
called chain system
cattlen1en Also Organize.
Another popular method ia to steal
the colts outright and to slap their
brands on them The rancher doesn't
care to take the matter into the courts,
as litigation Is expensive, and the thief
gets away with the animal. There has
been considerable altering OF brands
also. This thing has gone on for years
until 1t has become irtoIerable. Were
now going to gle tvhese fellows q les
son they'll never forget"

they leave the branch lines.
Supt j. e. Craver. OF the Fargo di-
vision, in speaking of tha strike, said
this morning: we were fairly caught
up by the strike, and there is practi-
cally a complete tie up of freight ira

things to running in fairly good shape
and do not expect as much trouble

Fargo Without Lights?
Some anxiety has been expressed
as to the ability OF the Union Light,
Heat & Power Co. to secure coal to
keep the electric and steam plants
running. Should the coal supply be
shut off the city would not only be
cast into darkness, but the street rail-
way would be tied up and many OF
the business blocks would be without
heat.
In speaking OF this phase of the
question superintendent Craver said.
We expect to have no trouble in sup
plying the requisite amount OF coal to
keep the plant running. Coal will be
spotted here as long as we can get it."
May Cause Coal Famine.
The effect that the strike will have

that is uppermost In the minds of
most people In Fargo there is little
or no cause for worry. There are
rather large supplies OF fuel on hand
owing to tie small amount that has
been in demand because of the mild
weather.
In the small towns the conditions
might be altogether different In these
places the coal supply is not large and
should severe spell OF weather strike
the northwest there might be con-
siderable suffering.
In other lines of the retail business
little trouble Is anticipated The To-
ca, retail dealers are we'll supplied,
but the jobbers will probably suffer.
Retail stores have In practically ell Of

have a lot of shipments on the road

SICK CATTLE
USED AT HOME
FEDERAL INSPECTION LEAVES
THEM TO LOCAL CONSUMPTION
SAYS SECRETARY OF HEALTH
BOARD OF MINNESOTA, DR.. n.
M, RRAcKEN.

Concerning federal meat inspection
and its local effect, DR., H. M. Bracken,
secretary Of the Minnesota state board
or health, says, according to The Pio-
neer Press report:
The federal meat inspection was
started not with any idea of helping
the citizens of this country get better
meat, but for the sole purpose of help
ing sell our meat abroad, and instead
of benefting us it has worked against
the people in states like ours, because
It leaves the diseased cattle at home
for the smaller slaughterhouses to kill
for the local trade" declared DR.. H. M.
Bracken, secretary of the state board
of health, in a talk on Public Health
and the People, before the Mems club
Of the First Baptist church last even-
ing.
Formerly when there was no fed
eral inspection, or when it was not as
strong as now, shippers would send
the bad cattle with the bunch and take
a chance. Now rather than pay freight
on they they sell them to the smaller
slaughterhouses, which have no federal
inspection. TIE federal inspection helps
people in states that do not raise cat
tie and have to buy their meat from
other states But federal inspection
is not required except for meat shipped
from one state to another, and only a
small part Of the meat used in this
state comes from the large packing
houses that have federal inspection.
Prevents State Inspection.
Instead it has worked against us,
because 1t prevents us from getting
state inspection. AS long as the fed
eral inspection is free, state inspection
would have to be the same. and that
would cost 100000 or $500, 900, and IL
is little use talking to the legislature
about anything. like that If the fed
eral law had compelled the packers to
pay for the inspection we could have
done the same here.
Some of the slaughterhouses in
this state are an abomination. Re-
Gently we closed four Of them because
they were in an unsanitary condition.
The meat Is hung up in the slaughter
houses all day, where millions of flies
have access to 1t until evening. In
st. Paul you have a city inspector,
good man, who visits the shops and
sees that they are sanitary. But he
cannot begin to inspect all the meat"
DIR. Bracken deplored that so little
is being done for the care of tubercu-
lar patients, although he said that
great deal has been done the last few
years. But only three or four years
ago and in many places now, the au-
pay no heed to a tubercular
patient, saying that they have no funds. |
The law provides that the municipal
lty must take care of any one with a |
disease, whether 1t is |
smallpox or tuberculosis. They must |
take care of him right away and look |
for the funds afterwards. If the pa
tienu has money they can collect from
him, and IL not, the law provides who |
shall pay,
