EAST SIDE NOTES.

| An item in this column yesterday
referring to the discontinuance Of ths
payment of wolf bounties should have
stated that the action vas taken by
the authorities Of Otter Tail county
The latter not being mentioned made
it appear that it referred to Clay
county.
The arrest OF blindpigger or boot
logger at or near Fergus Falls is OF
daily occurrence.
The weather report for December al
Fergus Falls shows that the month
was one Of the dryest on record, t:t
total precipitation in the thirty one
days being only 80 of an snch. The
month was unusually warm for De-
cember, but January is now, making up
for any deficiency in the line of cold
The highest temperature recorded was
40 above on Dec. ii and the lowest
was II below on Dec. a. The aver
age temperature for the month was
1872 above.
The supreme court has handed down
a decision sustaining the verdict of
the jury in the district court of Fer
gus Falls in the case of Mrs. VIM. Grif-
fifth VS.. the Great Northern Railway Co.
Mr.. Griffith, as will be remembered,
was for years employed as brake
man on the Pelican Rapids branch
OF the Great Northern, and was in
jured while coupling cars in this city
about two years ago, dying two weeks
later Mrs Griffith sued the company
for $4,000 and the jury returned a
verdict giving her $2,500. The COM
pany appealed on the ground that the
evidence did not show any negligence
on its part or the part of its en-
ployes.
The death is announced Of Andrew
Auflaben, at his home in Sabin yes
terday. He was IS years of age and
the father of Mrs. Louis Sitz of the
township OF Glyndon. The funeral

1t was inadvertently stated last
evening that it was the Great North
ern switch engine which ran over
the fire department hose at the Column
bia fire, last Monday. While the dam
age was done by Great Northern
engine, it was not the yard switch
engine. According to Engineer w. e.
Sears, who has charge of the switch
engine, the latter was not out at all
last Monday, so that 1t must have
been some other engine which caused
the trouble. In the item printed yes
terday, in reference to the investiga-
ton which is going to be made of the
cutting of the fire department hose,
no names were given as those Of the
engineer and fireman could not be
learned.

The TOBACCO TRUST CASES

organization, the American companies
in 1902 entered into a contract with
British company. the Imperial To-
bacco Co, whereby the American com
panies were limited in their business
to America and the British to Great
Britain, except that the latter could
buy leaf tobacco in the United States.
IT was alleged that the British-Ameri-
can Tobacco Co. was organized to take
over the export business of both the
British and the American companies.
Testimony presented to prove that
the defendants produced 20 per cent
of the smoking tobacco made in this
country; IS per cent of the cigarettes;
81 per cent of the plug and twist to-
bacco; 81 per cent Of the f1ne-cut to-
bacco; SO per cent of the little cigars;
96 per cent of the snuff; 95 per cent
of the licorice paste; rs per cent of
the tin foil and most of the tobacco
extracts, boxes and containers.
Three of the four judges on the cir
cult bench united in a decree. This
decree dismissed the petition as to
the Imperial company and the Brit
ish-American company, and the
United Cigar Stores CO., which was
claimed to he the retail branch of the
organization. This action formed one
of the grounds for appeal by the gov
eminent to the supreme court.
The decree adjudged the other de
PENDANTS to be parties to an unlawful
combination, but said nothing about
the monopolizing charges. This fail
ure furnished another ground for APP
peal by the government. The Ameri-
can Tobacco Co, the American Snuff
Co., the American Cigar CO., p Lor-
illard Co. r. Reynolds Tobacco Co,
BlackwelIs Durham Tobacco Co. and
the Conley Foil Co. were adjudged to
hold shares in a number of specified
tobacco corporations and enjoined
them from acquiring the plants or
business or voting the shares of and
exercising control over these subsid-
larry companies. The government was
dissatisfied because the holding COM
panies were not enjoined from col-
lecting dividends from the subsidiary
companies.
The defendants appealed to the
supreme court because the petition Of
the government was not dismissed
in total.

NEARLY ANOTHER HOTEL BLAZE
European Hotel Has Narrow Escape,
Gets Smoked

Moorhead just missed another hotel
fire today. A little blaze started at the
European hota3 about o'clock this
morning. 1t had it's origin in a small
anteroom at the rear of the pool room
A box of matches was heard to ignite
and IN moment those about the place
We're pretty busy drenching the table
and things which were set ablaze, but
there seemed to be reason for turning
in an alarm. However, an alarm was
turned in by party outside and the
department responded, but no services
We're required as local applications of
water had extinguished the incipient
blaze 1t is thought that the matches
were ignited by rats or mice. Small
as was the blaze 1t created a lot of
smoke which got into the upper rooms
and caused quite scare to the occu-
pants Of the rooms in the hotel de-
partment. 1t could not be learned to-
day whether there would be any claims
filed for insurance

ing the last named year, received all

EvEIGREENs FROM FOREST
Nursery Stock, Twice Transplanted
Much More Liable to Grow
Than Forest Trees.
BY PROF. N. e. HANSEN,

A Dawson county correspondent
writes: Some people here are ship
ping in young evergreens dug wild in
the forests. Are they as good as
those nursery grown?"
The amateur will not usually have
good success with evergreens dug
growing wild. Nurserymen handle
such trees by planting them in beds
where they can be given about half
shade with lath screen or brush the
first season. This is because the
change from the sheltered. shaded
condition of the forest to the full sun
light is too great and also because
they lose their tap root in transplant
ing, Evergreens twice transplanted
in the nursery are the best. If you
are prepared to give them nursery
mems care for the first year or two
before transplanting to permanent po-
sition you may get fair stand. Our!
nurserymen generally prefer to raise
evergreens from seed, but also plant
immense quantities Of the young trees
dug in the native woods.
