The fear of punishment is the prompt
ing motive in giving tips to many serv-
ants outside of dining rooms. One tips
the taxi starter at the door of a hotel
when on his way to a railway. station or
steamship dock for fear the starter will
tip the wink to the chauffeur, ard that
as a result of that wink the taxi will
break down somewhere between the hotel
and Its destination
One tips the porter In q hotel for fear
that he may come again to that same
hotel. and that his trunks will be lost"
for some hours or days on their way
from the railway station to the hotel.
One tips the barber for fear that if he
comes again to that barber shop he will
give up a goodly portion of his epidermis
and his hemoglobin before the sanguinary
blade OF the tonsorial artist
One tips the chambermad for fear that
he will emerge from bathtub to find the
towels conspicuous by their absence.
One tips the messenger boy not from
fear. but in the faint hope that he will
actually hurry on his errand.
Perhaps the one tip that cannot be re-
solved as result either Of hope or fear

or a chauffeur at the end Of Journey
Apparently this tip is prompted by habit

EXCITEMENT At 500 DEPOT.

An unusual incident happened 1t
the depot last Sunday morning az
ISL pulled in. it being little affair
between the engineer of 151 and the
Section Boss OF Kenmare. AS near
as We can learn about week ago
the same engineer blew steam all
over the Section foreman and another
man who was at the time shovel
ing snow in the yards here and when
the engineer was asked to be careful
next time he took exception to the
advise and started a fight, the sec
ton foreman slipping on the icy plat
form at the first blow struck and
fell under the cars. The engineer it
is claimed kicked him on the head
as he was down, at once going to his
engine and started to pull out, and
only for the help of parties nearby
was the mans life saved, II the
facts Of this encounter are as we
understand them the 500 Officials
should look into the matter at once.

CLYDE SPERRY
IS HELD FOR
MURDER

Aneta, N. D., Feb. 11.-Cude
sperry. aged 10. was today bound
over to the district court of Nelson
county on the charge Of granddaughter
in the first degree, Judge G. F. Tenn
pleton of the First judicial district,
sitting as a committing magistrate.
Sperry is the young man whom 1t
was, recently declared had made a
confession in which he implicated
Louis Summerfleld as being guilty OF
the murder of Kenneth Mckenzie in
this city in October, 1909. sommer-
field, under arrest at the time the
supposed confession was made public,
was afterwards dismissed, Sperry
failing to appear at the hearing with
the story Of the crime as it had sup
posedly been given out.
States Attorney Skull G. Skulason,
to whom Sperry was said to have
made the confession and whose activ-
tiles have been responsible for the
recent disclosures in the Sensational
cast, acted at the hearing held today,
being assisted by Assistant Attorney
General Alfred Zuger. Mr.. Zuger has
been working with mr.. Skulason dur
ing the last week.
Young Sperry is held to the district
court under bond of $4,000 and the
trial will take place at Lakota.
The arrest of Sperry this week fol-
lowing the sensational confession that
he is supposed to have given just a
short time ago has created new inter-
est in the big case Sommerfeld' q
dismissal a week ago was unexpecreu
after the Sperry story came out, but
the new development place an en-
tirely different light on the situation.

Lynch, N. D., Feb. II.
Editor independent:
Iwould like to see the county COM
missioners authorize bounty of three
cents apiece on gophers until June I.
A few years ago, Ward county gave a
bounty on gophers and If my memory
does not fail me, about $4,000 Was
paid in bounties. This was for Wari
county in its original form. I think
a cent tail was offered at that time
I believe that the bounty ought to be
raised, to make 1t an object for
hunters to get out and rid the coun-
try of this pect. / would tax only
farm property to pay this bounty. My
gopher tax was about 2 cents on ny
quarter of land at the time the bounty
was given some years ago. Suppose
it would amount to four or five times
as much, wouldn't we all be money
ahead? Offering three cents apiece
would prove an incentive for the boys
to get out and earn some spending
money. While our taxes mi mi be
more, We could all get into the game,
kill some gophers and make enough
to pay the increased taxes. Those
who would not take the trouble 20
xii 4 the gophers, would be benefited
to the extent OF the tax, and then
some.
I'll venture to say that gopaers in
Ward county do $4,000 damage every
year. They can easily destroy a
bushel an acre and sometimes its
five. The average man doesn't real
ize what lot of damage these pests
do every year We must get rid of
them some way, say. make the koun-
ty large enough, cary in the season.
so hat many of the Mamma and Papa
gophers will be Sent 10 their ever
lasting rest before they can populate
our farms with millions Of young,
ones.

HOLD
PROTEST MEETING

The Warren Protest meeting, held
in the city of Minot, North Dakota,
on the 18th day of February, 1911, at
p. m. at the Lyceum theatre, was
attended by between 400 and 500
people. The seating capacity OF the
building was inadequate to accom-
mediate the attendance in consequence
of which many were turned away.
After an unusually eloquent and con-
vincing address by comrade Arthur
LeSueur, president OF the Board OF
City commissioners, the following re-
solution was proposed and adopted
by the audience, namely:
Resolved, that it be the sense OF
this meeting that the action of Pres
ident Taft in only partially pardon
ing Fred D. Warren was an act OF
cowardice and the act Of q politician;
that If Fred D. Warren Is or was
guilty of any crime whatever, the pro
cedure of the president Of the United
States in ~pardoning such criminal
without solicitation or effort of any
kind on the part Of the person con-
<victed or his friends Is unprecedent-
ed; that if no crime was committed,
then Fred d. Warren is entitled to
an unqualified pardon full and CON-
plete, with no string attached; that
the language of the president of the
United States in reference to said
Fred D. Warren in granting such
pardon was uncalled for under the
circumstances, and specifically ad-
m1ts that the courts were in error in
their prosecution; that the language
used shows at least az great class
bias and prejudice on the part Of the
president of the United States, pre-
sumed to represent all classes impair
TALLY, as anything which has been
said or written by Fred D. War
rem that this particu ar instance of
executive clemency smacks decidedly
of executive timidity: and that 1t is
the sense Of this. meeting that we
extend our moral support and sympa-
thy to said Fred D. Warren as the
editor of the Appeal to Reason in his
brave crusade for and in behalf OF
general society and against the gov
eminent" as It is now constituted.
Resolved, further, that copies OF
this resolution be forwarded both to
President Taft and to Fred D. War
