experienced no pronounced bad eff
fects, but presently his eyesight be-
came poor, leading him to mistrust
his organs of vision. This impaired
his efficiency, and in addition he had
several falls, indicating some trouble
with the locomotor ceuters.
Dr. John NJ. Terrell Of Conemaugh,
the Schrift family physician, early
made a diagnosis of the youths con-
dition, which was confirmed by other
physicians in consultation. Finally
the operation was decided on. The
skull fracture was about four inches
long, three-quarters Of an inch at the
widest. Dr. Kimmel Rauch, the op-
Grating physician, decided against
trephining the skull, and instead used
a fine chisel. With this he cut away
entirely the section of the fracture,
Under this the surgeons found several
pieces Of skull pressing on the deli
cate membranes covering the brain,
one of them for distance of half an
inch. These were all carefully re-
moved, and young Schrift, as result
Of the successful outcome Of the I'M
usual operation, is able to walk about
and attend to his duties as well as
ever. The skull bone is expected to
grow together, closing the vacant
space left by the incision. An oculist
is supplementing the work of repair
by fitting his eyes with compromising
glasses. The surgeons, truth to tell,
combined little bit OF belief in phre-
nology with a good deal of daring in
the operation, and are all happy over
the outcome. DR.. Rauch was assisted
by Drs. Terrell, William Rauch and
NJ. B. Schultz in his delicate task.

THE SWITCHMEN
STRIKE QUESTION
REASON ASSIGNED BY ATTORNEY
WHY THEY REFUSE TO ARBl-
TRATE UNDER THE
ERDMAN ACT.

st. Paul, Dec. S.--Mayor Daniel w.
Lawler, who has been engaged as
counsel by the switchmen, gave to the
press the following statement:
THE railroad managers committee,
fully realizing the force of public opIn-
ion and fearing it, are making q con-
certed effort through newspaper items
and editorials, to charge the switchmen
with unfairness because they have de-
clined to submit to arbitration under
the Erdman act. The Switchmen could
easily retort by saying truthfuliy that
the managers are In no position to
make this complaint for the reason
that the managers from the very COM
mencement of the controversy have re-
fused to make any advances or con-
slider any suggestion relative to an in
crease in wages. With regard, how
ever, to arbitration under the Edrman
law, anybody who reads the statute will
readily understand why the switchmen
have consistently refused to proceed
under it. 1t is a very catchy and TAX
ing proposition to claim that where two
parties have controversy they should
be willing to submit to arbitration. The
arbitration provided for under the Erd-
man law, however is hedged about with
legal provisions which would strip the
switchmen of all power to legitimately
press their claims, and it would put
them completely in the power of the
railroad companies. Admitting that
the decision were favorable TO the
switchmen, the railroad companies,
under section of the Erdman law,
could within ten days after the filing OF
the award in the clerks Office OF the
circuit court of this district, file excep-
tons and take an appeal to the circuit
court of appeals. This would delay the
final decision for a period of from one
to two years. 1t would be unlawful for
the switchmen or any member of the
switchmen's union to strike, or in any
way aid a strike. Under the first pro-
vision Of section 8 of the act, 1t is pro-
vided: THAT pending the arbitration
the status existing Immediately prior
to the dispute shall not be changed
This means that during the period Just
mentioned, the switchmen would be
compelled to work at the oil schedule
of wages and under all the conditions
of which they complain In other words,

THE FARM PROSPERITY
Accumulation of Wealth Has Mada
Farming One Of Real Solid
interests of Country.

The country has not had to await the
secretary of agriculture's annual report
to know that the farmers are prosper
Gus, says The Minneapolis Tribune. The
figures, stripped of the extravaganza
rainment with which Mr.. Wilson likes
to adorn his state papers, are confirm
alton strong as can be writ Of a won
derful agricultural progress.
The aggregate wealth has grown by
leaps and bounds In the last few years.
While this is due In great part to ihe
tremendous appreciation in farm prod
ucts, the production also shows a Eca-
eral increase. The point, however,
which emphasizes the strong financial
position OF the grower is the gain of "a
per cent in the value OF the crops over
the previous five year period. Not only
has there been this added wealth El1m
the soil but 1t has been accompanied
by great rise in the price of land.
It is this accumulation of wealth
which has made the farmer one of the
real solid interests of the country, and
which has caused a marked change I'm
the methods Of marketing the yearly
crops. He is no longer forced by press
ing interest charges or bills to sell his
grain the first two or three months o.
the season but can spread his market
ing over the entire year.
In addition to the gneral tendency of
commodity prices to seek higher level
and the narrowing OF the margin be-
tween production and consumption in
the domestic merket. the wheat raiser
has had the advantage of the short
worlds crop raised in 1908. The ex-
haustion of old reserves, the immediate
drawing upon, the new crop TO meet
current requirements and the failure OF
stocks to accumulate has forced de-
mand to press upon supply.
In 1909 the world raised a record
wheat crop. Statistics are beginning to
indicate that reserves are replenished
This has been accomplished on a high
price level which may have 10 recede
II the harvest of 1910, which now
promises TO be large. is normally MAIN
tanned. There are no indications, how
ever. that farm prices are to suffer any
collapse.

ii the switchmen were to put their
heads into this moose they would be
compelled to accept the present sched-
ule and present conditions for a period
of from one to two years and would
surrender the right to strike during
that time. President Taft, when Judge
said in one Of his famous decisions that
the right to strike is one of the most
precious rights of manhood and of
citizenship. In view of the operation
OF the arbitrary clause of the Erdman
act, the switchmen would be untrue to
themselves and to those whom they
represent If they accepted 1t. The mo-
ment tho public understands that the
switchmen have not refused arbitra-
ton under the Erdman act and have
refused to commit suicide, the attempt
Of the managers committee to enlist

Work at Devils Lake on In Full
Swing.

Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. s.-The
Great Northern shops resumed oper-
alton this noon after an enforced
idleness of the past five days. The
entire force in the machine black
smith, boiler and carpenter shops as
well as the round house and repair
track were put back on their old jobs
again. Much dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed by the local railway men who
were laid off. owing to the fact that
at this time Of the year IL is a diff
cult matter to secure position in this
locality, and as there are quite a num-
Der of famil.- men employed at the
shops and round house, the closing
down of these two places caused much
anxiety among them.
The opening up of the shops and
round house is taken by those locally
interested In the swftchmen's strike,
as an indication that the company has
won it's first victory and is able to
handle its freight business.
Freight LIS now being accepted at
the various points along the line, and
is moving forward at fairly rapid

Supreme Court Renders Decision
in Famous Nelson Co. Pig Case

In the supreme court, state of North
Dakota, October term, 1909. State of
North Dakota, respondent, VS.. G. H.
Stevens, appellant.
Under section 1868, revised codes
1905, the states attorney of Nelson
county issued his subpoena requiring
him for the purpose of giving testi-
mony relative to my violations of the
prohibition laws. Pursuant thereto L.
appeared and gave testimony which
was reduced TO narrative form and
was subscribed and sworn to before
the states attorney. Such testimony
tended to disclose that defendant had
maintained a liquor nuisance where
upon the states attorney, pursuant to
law, filed such testimony together
With his formal information charging
the defendant with the commission of
such offense with a. police magistrate
who ISSUED a warrant for defendants
arrest. A preliminary examination
resulted in holding defendant to an
swer such charge in the district court,
In which latter court he was convicted
and sentenced accordingly. 1t is con
tended that such section 1868 at
tempts to confer judicial powers upon
venes the provisions of section IS of
the constitution Of North Dakota.
Held, For reasons more fully stated
in the opinion, that such question is
not properly before us as the witness
L. does not, and defendant cannot,
raise the same.
2-The testimony of the witness L.
was taken in the form of a deposition
and the fact that 1t was in narrative
and not by questions and answers does
not render the same ineffective.
S-The information filed with the
committing magistrate examined and
held sufficient to state an offense when
tested by the liberal rule governing
complaints before such magistrates
following state VS. Barnes, N. D., 131,
which decision is held applicable and
controlling in the case at bar.
4-The deposition of the witness l..
Is held to be a substantial compliance
with the statute, although, IL consider
ed as a complaint or information it
would be insufficient. Such deposit
ton is no part of the information and
whether it states or shows an offense
is immaterial
5-The information under which de-
PENDANT was convicted In the district
court charged in effect that continue
ously between certain designated
dates defendant kept and maintained
place particularly describing it)
where Intoxicating liquors were con-
tinuously sold, bartered and given
away and where persons were permits

ted to resort for the purpose OF drink
ing Intoxicating liquors as a beverage
ETC.
Held, That such information is suf-
ffctently specific as TO the time of the
commission of the offense, as the same
states that such nuisance was kept
and maintained continuously on each
of the intervening days between the
dates mentioned
6-The defendants motion for a
continuance was properly denied. The
affidavit upon which such motion was
based made no showing as to the prob
ability of procuring the testimony of
the absent witness in the event%uf a.
continuance; nor does it show or
state that the facts sought to be
proved by such witness were true. nor
defendants inability to establish such
facts by others.
THE states attorney made q. GER
tain remark in his argument TO the
jury wherein be referred to the de-
PENDANT as zone of the most arrogant
defiant, outspoken violators of the pro-
hibition law that believe these is in
the county of Nelson" and also con-
tanning the statement, 1--WE have
brought into this court upon this
charge the prince of blindpiggers of
Nelson county"
Held, The evidence not being before
us, that 1t cannot be said that the
trial court abused its discretion in
overruling the defendants objection to
such remarks.
S-The judgment, in addition to pro-
viding for imprisonment in the county
Jail, imposed a fine and costs amount
ing to $5S7.95 and adjudges that in de-
fault of the payment thereof that de-
PENDANT be imprisoned for the addi-
tional period of 294 days. This was
erroneous. Under section 9379 revised
codes the limit of Imprisonment for
nom payment of fines and costs is six
Notwithstanding state VS.. wisnew-
ski, ID N. ID. 81, the judgment is modi-
fed accordingly.
