SLIGHT INCREASE IN HACK FARE

SLIGHT INCREASE IN HACK FARE
In all the years that the state capt.
tai has been here Bismarck has been
noted as the place where the cheap
est carriage and hack hire has pre-.
vailed. Contrary to the other cities
Of the state the hackmen have not
even charged the fares allowed by the
city ordinance, and the people have
been in good luck. 49,.
The increased expense of maintain
ing a livery stable has awakened A.
G. Hdnckley and in certain cases he
has decided to raise the fares trife.
The city ordinance allows a charge of
Is cents for a transit within ten
blocks, and SO cents beyond that dis.
lance to the city limits, and this rate
Mr.. Hinckley will hereafter charge
in this way: Single passengers to
the capitol Or from there to town,
will be charged so cents, and If there
be two in the party the charge will
be the same, SO that except that
where one goes alone the fare is not
increased. The same charge will be
made for fares after midnight to all
parts Of the city, full fare for one
or one fare for two, going practically
the same place.
In the case of persons going to balls
or other night entertainments, the
old rate of rs cents will be charged
both ways, even after midnight. There
is so little business after midnight
that this additional charge is made
necessary in order to keep up the
night service, which many times is q
great convenience to those desiring
to get home, after midnight.
The only persons effected by the
new rates are those going to the CAPT.
tol alone or using the carriage alone
after midnight, and in no case is the
rate excessive.

The armory was packed last night
by citizens to hear discussed the
commission plan Of government for
cities. A number Of ladies were pres
ent and they seemed to take as great
interest in the proceedings as the

From the start it was apparent that
&he crowd was in sympathy with the
movement as it was generous in its
cordial reception Of the Mandan COM
missioners and others from that city
upon their introduction, and at the
conclusion of their addresses, which
were listened to with the greatest
interest, an interest SO great that
it was noticed that very few persons
left the hall until the close. Of the
long meeting.
Rich and Poor Were There.
The rich man and the poor man

What did she say?"
''She said Get out of here. This is
my ROOM"
The witness said Bach had nothing
to say until asked whether he would
go to the county Jail and give him
self up or force the arrest of Mrs.
Crane and himself on a statutory
charge. He then said he would give
himself up. Crane and Bach went to
the Jail together and when Bach could
not find a bondsman Crane said he
would take a promissory note for
$4,000 signed by Bach as security for
his appearance the next morning.
| This was done.
On cross examination Crane had
difficulty in explaining some of his
statements when they were compared
with statements made during the trial
of his suit for divorce from his
wife. He testified yesterday that his
wife had always been true and faith
full until she met Bach. although he
admitted that he had secured, few
years ago, a letter which she had
written to another man. Crane was
subjected to a merciless grilling by
Mr.. Mckeever, who produced and in
troduced as evidence Cranes answer
