Freight Train on Northwest

Of Cattle.
PROPERTY PR OF MIKE FOX
Probably an Action for Damages
Will be Commenced Against
Railroad Company. NJ

Twelve head of cattle belonging to
Mike Fox, one of the prosperous farm
ers residing about FIVE miles east Of
Watertown, were killed by a North
western freight train near his farm
one day last week. The cattle had
broken the fence in some manner and
were on the track when heavily load;
ed freight train bore down on them
killing most of the animals Instantly.
A snow plow was attached to the.
locomotive, otherwise it is quite pro-
bable that the whole train would have
been derailed and wrecked. For some
reason the animals were not
for several days, but permitted to re-
main beside the railroad track where
they We're killed, permitting a grue;
some sight for passengers when be-
ing whisked over the line In that sec
ton. "a {
Mr.. Fox will probably commence an
action for damage against the rail.
road company for the killing Of his
stock. It can be considered fortunate
for the. company, even though 1t
should be called upon to pay damages,
for. had the train been wrecked il is
quite probable that the damages would
have been heavy. III
5 t4 has not been learned who was
responsible for the cattle upon the
track: but in any event the loss will
be quite large. %

fyIcLA 'l' 4 ALTON Il y OF D. !. FRANCHISE r i
Openly Charged 0 H. Blake
Makes Strong Protest Setting
Forth His Complaints.

People are in most cases OF long
suffering which is becoming painful;
W apparent in Watertown when the
telephone situation is taken Into con-
|sideratfon. For many months NUT
terings Of discomfort have been heard
and the company has remained in d
|complacent mood 1t is charged that
the terms of the franchise with the
city are being openly violated, yet the
company sits back and gives the peo-
pie the laugh. But not unlike volcano
public sentiment is likely at any time
to open and assert itself, for the peo.
pie are becoming genuinely indignant.
In today's News is published an In
terview with o. H. Blake who express.
ses mis- sentiments in no uncertain.
terms. And in all probability there
are Others who will gladly voice the
sentiments expressed by that gentle
man. 3 r m
The News, In justice to the tele-
phone people, asked Manager John.
son for his side Of the question, but
that gentleman said he had nothing to
say for publication.
Black Is Indignant. ].
NJ Blake said '.I have consulted
Mases Martin regarding the matter
and he assured me that the telephone
company had no right what teyer under
its franchise with the city OF Water
town to charge any person one cent
more for telephone service tina. the
franchise calls for which is s100 for
residence, telephones and $3.50 for
business telephones. This being the
case ! intend to ascertain whether
the Dakota Central Telephone Com
pany cas- hold people up for this ex-
ira twenty-five cents if they do not
happen to pay their bill to the com
many on the 10th of each month. Il
mean business and l will fight this
proposition if have to take it into
the courts. s2
Not Living to Franchise.
The company is not living up to its
franchise in many respects. Take for
instance, the telephone directory.
The franchise plainly states that
the company must issue a new
directory every three months Has
it done this? ] should say not
It has been Just year since the
last directory was issued. Then
again the franchise plainly states
that Just as soon as the company has
100 subscribers in Watertown 1t shall
install an automatic system, Has 1t
done It? Echo answers no. The com
pany now has several hundred more
subscribers than that prescribed in
the franchise. II the company does
not want to live up to its agreement
with the city, what is the use of the
city council granting any corporation
a franchise at all. The whole sum
and substance of the matter is this
May Lose Franchise.
