Yates Station
Agent Arrested
Charged With a Violation Of the
Interstate Commerce Law---CoI-
Iected a Little for Smith!

C. H. Smith, Northern Pacific
agent at Yates. station in ex-
IRENE eastern Dawson county, is
charged with a violation Of the
interstate commerce law.
Special agent M. N. Fahey
went to Yates and arretsed Smith,
bringing him to Glendive to
await the arrival OF a U. S. mar
shall from Helena.

the company the amount due and
pocketing the difference. The
rate, for instance. from St. Paul
to Beach for certain classes of
merchandise is 50 cents per 100.
1t is alleged that Smith COL
lected G2 cents on various ship
ments.
