MORE RAILROAD TALK
Rumors Afloat That The Burlington Will Build
Out From Belle Fourche Milwaukee
Also Getting Busy.

The B. lie Fourche Bee claims
to have it on good authority that
the Burlington j. j. Hill line
will build north this season from
Belle Fourche this season thru
Harding Go. and probably on up
to connect with the N. P. at
New England or some point
further west. The reason stat
ed for this move is to pull some
of the grain and cattle business
front this section to the Kansas
City and Omaha markets.
There is a great deal of rail-
road talk in the air a large per-
centage of which can be safely
discounted, but if this western
country gets even a fraction Of
the reported activity in railroad
building, there will be some
thing doing. Bowman News.
The St. Paul Dispatch of last
Friday is authority for the state
ment that the C. NJ. & St. P.
R. R. will build south this sea-
son from Marmarth through the
Cave Hills, eventually connect
ing with the line which termin-
ates at Rapid City, S. Oak. The
supposed route lies along the
Little Missouri to the Cave Hills,
thence in a slightly south western
direction thru Harding County.

MARMARTH NOW BUSY
The Citizens of The North Dakota Town Again
Out After Another Land District And
u. s. Land Office.

Petitions are being circulated
throughout this part of the
county for the establishing of a
U. S. land office at Marmarth.
This same question was talked
up last summer but the measure
met with very little success and
the petitions received very few
signers. Not satisfied with their
luck before the agitators have
again go: busy and have gone as
far this time as to get Senate bill
number 1909, for the creating
of this new district, before
congress. The territory that is
proposed to be taken from the
Miles City district is bounded
on the north by the south line Of
Dawson county on the west by
the east line of R Ange 55 and on
the east and south by the state
line, comprising about 4500
square miles in which we are
located.
In talking the matter over
Tuesday with the majority of
the residents of Ekalaka we
found not one who favored the
proposition. The service and
treatment given by the officials
of the Miles office to it's patrons
has been the best and a change,
like the one contemplated, we
believe would be of no benefit to
the people Of this part of the
county whatever. AS the way
things stand now, when we go
to Miles to attend county affairs
we can also look after our land
troubles, whereas, if the Office
was to go to Marmarth we
would be obliged to go to Miles
to attend county business and to
North Dakota to attend land
office affairs. The proposition
we believe is nothing more than
political move, and intends
only to cause little more eX-
pense to the government and add
another business enterprise tc
the North Dakota town. At a
meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce at Miles Of the 21st
instant, a resolution opposing
the bill was passed and for
Warded to Our congressman for
immediate action. At Baker the
petition received several signers
Fut outside of that place in
this county, there's nothing
doing"
1t is more than probable, that
in few years, Dawson county
will be taken from this district
a.1d if we should now decide t
change to Marmarth what would
become of the Miles district
Marmarth. Of course, is nearer
to us, but as Ekalaka has a u. S.
Commissioner who is, well cap
able of looking after our lane
business, the distance argumen'
has no bearing. This paper
for one is opposed to the creating
of the new land office, in which
respect we believe we have ;
host of supporters.

For several weeks past, we have tried in most
every business like way, to draw several OF our
subscribers attention to the fact that their sub
scription to the Eagle dope sheet had termin-
ated expired and closed on the first day of the
year We did not make this fact known by the
use Of floWery language, nor was the notice
highly embellished with figurative language but
its meaning was dealt out in plain western lingo
and ought to have brought better results.
Of course the majority of those now in
arrears on the paper are ranchers who have
been handicapped in many different ways during
the past SO days on account Of the storm and
have not had the time to notify u.s. but now that
the weather is favorable we believe 1t only fair
that you should notify us to either continue or
discontinue it as you wish.
If we were fortunate enough to be married,
we would be only too glad to accept, potatoes,
onons cabbage pumkins, cloths pins, spoons,
pie pans and baby carriges in exchange tor sub
scrptiCn. But being bachelor and boarding
with Tom Martin we have no use for them.
Two dollars a year for paper, especially
home paper is not heavy investment and can
be afforded by all. If you are among those in
arrears on your paper kindly let us know what
YOU wish to do Either refuse to accept the
same or send US renewal. We don't want you
to think that we doubt your honesty orintegrity,
but only ask you to let us know, so that we may
keep our books straight Your renewal is
wanted and if not able to get to town and

treat you right and hope that we may have the
pleasure of continuing sending you the best

stab in the United States circuit court to-
day granted writ of habeas corpus in

cused of having killed his wife, Mary Scott
Castle Charlton, in Italy. The court also
granted a writ OF certiorari for the bring
ing of the case before him on December 49,

The petition sets up that the treaty be-
tween Italy and the United States for the
mutual extradition OF persons charged with
certain crimes, under the construction
placed upon it by the Italian government,
does not extend to those persons who are
citizens Of the asylum country.
1t is also claimed that there was no legal
proof OF Porter Charlton's crime, and
Judge Blair Of the Hudson county court.
sitting as a federal examining magistrate,
refused to hear testimony that had been
offered to establish the fact that Porter
Charlton at the time he killed his wife was
insane. The argument on the granting OF
the writ of certiorari viii take place before
Judge Rellstab on December 10. Mean
while Charlton will remain in custody in

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-(special telegram
The hog market at the Unicn Stock yards
jumped almost out OF sight today and Il
Is declared that pork will go to a higher
figure. The market opened up 80 cents
higher than It closed Friday and the big
packers were buying frantcally
The jump today means that hogs are now
81 a hundred higher than they were two
weeks ago, and that unless more hogs be-
gin coming into the big packing centers Of
the country in short time the market
will go much higher. Wise buyers at the
yards declared today that hogs might go
to 50.
II Is said that the packers and buyers
have just awakened to the fact that the
country is not fun Of hogs as has been
confidently supposed, and that there Is
nowhere near the supply that there
should be.
Armour and Swift were the heavy buyers
today and they did not seem TO care how
much they had to pay for hogs, Just so as
they got hold Of enough of them to keep
their killing departments busy. Most of
them they bought in the cars and rushed to
the killing pens as fast as possible. Mean
time pork on the butchers block was NOV
ing up right along with the hog market,
and butchers were predicting that pork
would be as expensive as beefsteak, unless
something happened to change the hi h
prices.

was an entire loss together with 1,100

it, and could not get the fire under con-

elevator site, both claim that 1t was
struck by a meteor They were looking
in the direction of the building a moment
before the fire, when a luminous ball
shot down out of the sky, striking the
cupola, and instantly the elevator burst
into flames seemingly from the top to
the bottom.
AS soon as the ruins have cooled a
search will be made for the heavenly
wanderer.

HIGH PRICE FROM HIGH LIVING
Adam Bede Says There Are More
Chauffeurs Than Sherman Had Men.
WORDS OF PRAISE FOR TAFT
Says He is the wisest Man to sit in
the Presidenps Chair in Many
Years-TOO Few People

president Taft is one Of the wisest men
who have been in office In this country for
years" said J. Adam Bede, ex-congress-
man from Minnesota, and well known as
one OF the readiest speakers and quickest
witted men OF the session in which he took
part.
Mr. Bede was in Omaha between trains.
He is enjoying a lecture tour and Is going
from here through Iowa, and then down
to Washington to "see some OF the boys
in the government"
D" My upholstered friend as 1 call the
president, accomplished more in the way
of legislation in the first few months of
his tour than many presidents have done
in all their service. He is not a politician
He wouldn't go across the street and kick
yellow dog TO be reelected and he makes
no effort TO keep himself advertised. AS
far as advertisement is concerned, you
know, very few papers print the whole
truth from Washington; they confine them
selves to what is in keeping with their own
business interests. The Bee is one Of the
papers that prints the truth without re-
gard to policy. Some papers are big enough
to do that.
Taft Works Quietly.
but Mr. Taft doesn't call in a bunch OF
newspaper men ana get them WorkC1 into
a fury before he wants to do something
He goes about II quietly, and consequently,
he gets little notice for IT.
"The present high prices. that have caused
the present political situation, are the very
natural result OF high living. There are

Witness Says She Fears Documents
Would Be Exposed"
ALLEGES PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Mrs. Aileen Christopher Tells of Her
self Receiving Information.
INQUIRY IS ORDERED AT ONCE
Head of bureau of Investigation of
Department of Justice Accused
of Giving Information to
Brick Trust.

CHICAGO. Dec 1O-Charges that secrets
Of the federal grand jury room were being
tipped Off to interested parties, made
before Judge Kenesaw NJ, lands of the
United States district court, caused him to
suspend a case he was hearing and de-
mand that the charges be sustained at
once. The man accused Of being the tip
ster.' Is Charles f. DeWoody, division su-
perintendant of the bureau OF Investigation
Of the Department OF Justice.
The accusation was made by John f.
Brown, counsel of Mrs Aiieen Christopher,
a witness against the alleged brick trust
She was in court to show why she had
refused to bring certain evidence and docu-
ments before the grand jury as required
by the United States district attorney. Her
answer, by her attorney, was that she
feared the evidence wousd be exposed to the
persons interested, and DeWoody was the
man she accused.
Mrs. Christopher testified that Dewoody
came to her at Portage, Wis, to get GER
tain information and, while there told
her of the secret information the grand
jury had obtained, which later resulted in
the Indictment of former Cashier Fitzgerald
of the federal sub-treasury on charges OF
the theft of $4,000.
Judge Lands directed that this be
stricken from the record.
Attorney Brown said;
"The reason we feared to give the
grand jury this information was that
other testimony before the grand jury
had been tipped off to the Brick trust by
the head of the department making the
investigation"
United States District Attorney Edwin
Sims asked IL he was the department head
refereed to. Mr.. Brown assured him he
was not and amplified his first statement
by saying:
De Woody Demands Inquiry.
'It is not your department, Mr.. Sims;
II is the investigating department whose
head referred to-"
Dewoody s.,rang to his feet and de-
clared:
'I am the head of the investigating de-
partment. seemingly referred to. your
honor. and wish to say court the fullest
Investigation of the charges"
Yes" continued Attorney Brown. Mr..
DeWoody is the department head re-
ferred to. will show the court he not
only exposed the secrets 1 have referred
to- but other secrets of the grand jury
room, those pertaining to the Fitzgerald
case and other matters"
Attorney Brown also announced he had
| letter from Attorney General Wicker
sham, advising him not to give the evil
dence to the grand jury, but Judge Lands
/ said such instructions had no weight in
his court.
] Charles DeWoody has been in charge
| of the Chicago division Of the bureau OF
Investigation Of the Department Of Justice
| about five weeks.
