on the right of way and proceeded to
throw missiles at the freight rain and
at the trainmen as soon as they camel

the attack was made, seized a 80 caliber
rifle but was disarmed, after which a

WOMAN DlSLOCATES NECK
WHILE ABOUT HOUSEWOR

Belle Fouche. S. D., March AIRS,
Roy Taylor, wife of a well-knvwn
rancher living in this vicinity, was
the victim of a peculiar and unusual
accident. While working about the
kitchen of her ranch home she had
occasion to open the outside door and
reach out for something she wanted.
Instantly she felt a sharp pain in her
neck, close to the head. She paid lit
tie attention to the apparent injury at
first, thinking the pain would soon
cease. But instead of ceasing it kept
getting more severe, until she was
unable to straighten up her head 1t
finally became necessary to bring her
to a hospital in Belle Fourche. An
anesthetrc vas administered by the
physicians and an examination of her
neck was made. This disclosed that
her vertebrae had been d%islocated
close to the brain. The physicians
succeeded in placing the bone back in
place, but it will require several
treatments before Mrs. Taylor again
has the full use of her neck.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
SCORE BIG VICTORY
In FEDERAL COURT
South Dakota Railway Com
mission Enjoined From En-
forcing the New Rates.

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 5.-Judge
Carland's decision handed down in fed
eral court here yesterday afternoon
was a complete defeat for the railroad
commission and practically ends the at,
tempt on the part of the railroad com!
mission to fix express rates in South
Dakota.
On December Is, 1909, the railroad
commission issued what is known as
Different Tariff No. l." which was To-
go into effect January Is, 1910. Before
that time the express companies pro
cured a temporary restraining ordeS,
preventing the commission from att
tempting to put into effect Its new
schedule pending a decision from red;
eral court. The railroad commission
filed a demurrer to the complaint OK
the express companies, setting up lacE
of jurisdiction. This demurrer was ar"
gued several days 6 n this after"
noon Judge Garland handed down his
decision, the closing paragraph OF
which is as follows:
The words such schedule refer to
the rates established by the act n
the power given is only to change, mod
ify and establish a rate in such sched-
ule that has been found to be unjust or
too high or discriminatory. The legis-
lature certainly would not have gone
TO the trouble OF eStaDllSnllS legislative
rates and in the same law provided
that the railroad commission could alb
rogate them as soon as they went into
effect by making a new general sched-
ule. 1t seems clear that the Legislature
for fear it might in some case do an
injustice by making a horizontal reduc-
ton in rates by sections 5 and 6 of
chapter number 159, intended to pro-
vide a remedy to the express companies
or n person interested to complain
in particular instances of the injustice
of the rate which would be created by
the provisions of section a. AS the
court is of the opinion for the reasons
herein stated that the board of railroad
make a schedule for the rates COM
planned of, it is not necessary to deter
mine whether chapter 159 is valid or
not. The demurrer will be overruled,
and it is SO ordered"

immense quantities of building mate,
rial has been sent to Onida for distri-.
button along the new extension. In adj
dition to this work the company has
constructed 80 or more concrete bridges
and culverts, nearly all of them along
lines in this part of the state. This
work will also be resumed in the early
spring, and will be carried on until
the wooden bridges and culverts are
replaced with reinforced concrete
structures. The n spanning Medicine
Creek, between Canning and Rosseau,i
is IS feet long and is the largest of
the number yet constructed. AT the
same place a canal 1900 feet long was
constructed to s%traighten the course of
Medicine Creek, which is known as a
treachcrous stream during the spring
floods. With these new culverts and
bridges the road has been greatly i'm
proved and strengthened against spring
floods. The company is planning to
employ a S number of men in the
construction Of the railroad during the

Besides the question of navigation
other matters closely connected with

these is the proper handling of the

a new principle of navigation of the
quiet inland waters of the country, has
been invited to be here at the meet

attempted to develop is that of a Q

the boat through the water.

OUT WEAKER MEN

Huron, S. D., March 7.-R. O.
Richards, chairman of h republican

suggestion, in an official statement to-

candidates, who have not already an
nounced themselves, for state and fed
eral offices, should, in justice to the
progressive republican organization,
make their announcement at once in
order for the organization to treat eV-
erybody fairly"
Then after the tentative
ments all progressive candidates and
the state and executive committees
will be invited to meet at Huron to de-
eide by majority vote who shall receive
the support of the regular progressive
organization. The stalwarts having
suppressed all but one candidate for
arrive at an amicable arrangement be-
tween the candidates, If possible,
whereby only one candidate will file for
each office.
Majority rule being the principle I'M
DERIVING our form of government, the
plan suggested would seem the only
fair way to give each progressive can
didate an equal show to have his appeal
for support fairly considered by tho
regular progressive organization and
to have the fina result mutually agreed
to by the progressive candidates in or
der to present a solid front with only
n candidate for each place. This for
the purpose that no ones ambition
should be foreclosed upon even by the
majority, without a hearing.
Mr.. Richards also suggests that the
county organizations the
strongest candidates and pursue tho
same course, as far as possible, in re-
gard to county and legislative candi-
dates, and asks that the candidates for
the legislature be pledged to the pro-
gressive platform adopted at Huron
February "a, 1910.
Thursday, March 10, is the day set
for the candidates and the state COM
mittee to meet at Huron.
