rendered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission which. While not very
important 50 far rs the amount Of
tonnage Il snyolved or the resulting
revenue are concerned. has never

other railroads Of the South upon
foodsturs and other commodities
from the Ohio and Mississippi river
crossings TO points in their territory.
In the complaints. which antedate
somewhat the more important ques-
tons regarding the proposed increas-

that railroads Of the South had

taking somewhat broad grounds as

afterwards that Williams apparently

gazing straight into the dead eyes.
His gaze did not waver and he ex-
claimed:

while his hand lay on the body. Then
he added: 81 thank God | can say /

and sorry for her family, but | had

There was a clash between the po-
lice and the mob late tonight, which
was precipitated when a newspaper
automobile came dashing up and
stopped in front Of the Jail door. In
stantly the crowd jumped to the con-
clusion that Williams was to be
brought out and whisked away to q
safe place. With a yell, the crowd
surged forward, but the police were
on the alert, and with clubs swinging
they drove the rioters back and
cleared a working place for two hun.

struggle the police captured sledge.

With any other man but Fitzger-

would be meat for such parliamenta-

Men who are In line, by right of
seniority, for the most important
chairmanships, will be loath to up
set the whole order OF things by
voting for committee on commit
tees. Such a committee, selected
geographically, would pay little at
tention to precedence.
On the other hand, the Democrats
who are not in line for chairmanships
and new members Of the Democratic
majority would naturally be in favor
of such an arrangement. The new
Democrats will also have their ideas
on the course the party should pur-
sue with regard to the tariff.
Many of the Democrats in this city
at the present time are in favor OF
/ the party refusing to play politics
and simply keeping faith with their
constituents, according to President
Taft's proposal for a revision Of the
| tariff, schedule by schedule. - Presi-
dent Taft might get the credit fo1
having inaugurated this revision, but

discredit of having made hopeless
bungle of a general revision.

LOST HORSE FOUND

- Stephen Smith whose horse so my2-
teriously disappeared from the car at
Crookston last Friday, arrived home
with the horse Tuesday morning. He
found the horse at farm house four
miles from Crookston. The farmer
was unable to explain. how the horse
got to his place; all he knew about
the matter was that the horse was in
his yard when he got up. He at once
telephoned the sheriff who with MIR:
Smith took possession. Mr. Smith
was shipping the horse from Ashby
here and on arrival at Crookston he
went to supper and when returning
to the train got on the caboose with
out looking in the car and when he
looked for his horse at Warren it was
gone. 1t is probable the car doors
were Jared open in switching and
that the horse got loose and jump
ed out Of the car and wandered to the

BOR-cATcHlNG DANGEROUS

Now that the snow has come and
the merry jingle of sleigh-bells is
to be heard on every hand the boys as
we'll as some of the girls are resort
ing to the dangerous habit of watch
ing around on the streets and catch
ing rides on bobsleds.
This is not only in violation of the
city ordinance and the rules and regu-
lations of the police department but
it is very annoying to teams and
teamsters and extremely dangerous to
the children who indulge in it.
Not only are they in constant dan
ger of being thrown off and run over
by horses and sleds but by continued
talking and laughing they are drawing
in large amount of cold frosty air
thru their mouths causing bad coughs
and colds and making them more sus-
ceptible to the attacks of other dis
eases, com1tsen during the winter
months.
Aside from the physical it is ethical
ly wrong as to take anything without
permission and with no intention of
paying for it is stealing and while the
theft may be exceedingly small yet as
the child grows to manhood it fire.
Quently happens that such faults out
grow the child instead of the child
outgroWing the faults.
The police no doubt will do their
utmost to put stop to this practice
and all parents should help along as
far as possible by admonishing the
young folks to quit in self-defense.

the fact that there is cause and the
magnitude of the number of these un-

Sheriff Rock Gets Jared

Sheriff Rock Gets Jared
Sheriff Rock has been and

he doesn't own a car, but he
likes to ride in them, but his
enthusiasm was some what
shaken Tuesday night as he
was driving home from Lincoln
township where he had been to
serve some papers. Coming
down a steep hill in the dark a
bad ditch was found at the bot
tom too late to stop the car and
it was hit pretty hard, so hard
that Rock was thrown out,
alighting at the side road, not
right side up, but with the wind
knocked out of him and in a
partially unconscious condition.
When F. n. Seabury, the driver
of the car came back to see
what had become of his passen-
ger he found him right on the
edge of a canyon about twenty
feet deep. The car was unin-
jured. Observer.
