ATTEMPTS TO WRECK TRAIN
Wiley Stewart Confesses to Having Thrown Switches in Iron Noun.
 Yards-Implieates Others.

On Friday morning, January 20, 1911, the southbound Iron Mountain pas senger train narrowly escaped being wrecked shortly after leaving the de- pot here. Three switches between the depot and the Rock Island crossing had been thrown and left open. and had it not been for the watchfulness of the engineer a serious wreck might have been occasioned. As it was, the engineer noticed the thrown switch when his engine split it, and luckily he was able to stop his train and re- verse the switch before any damage was done.
 On the same morning, northbound extra freight was sidetracked south of the Rock Island crossing, to await the southbound passenger. After that train passed, the freight proceeded north, and it also encountered the open switch, the train being run into the house track, andsmashing it's pilot against some cars standing thereon.
 Suspicion pointed to young white boy named Wiley Stewart and some others. Special Agent Kehoe. of the $. L., l. NJ. < S, was detailed on the case, and he was aided by Marshals Davis and Dougherty, the latter gen. tleman going over 10 Whitmore on Tuesday of last week and arresting Stewart on charge of pistol carrying The boy was locked up and subjected to some close questioning by Marshal Dayis. who, after working up pretty strong case against him and confront ing him with the facts, secured a con- fession, in which he admits paving thrown the switches with the inten- tion of wrecking the freight. but de- nies having intended wreeking the passenger.
 In his confession he duplicates Frank Boyett, another white boy of about his own age, or little older, and claims that Frank gave him the switch key and told him what to do. Boyett was arrested Wednesday afternoon, and held as an accomplice. He denies any knowledge of the affair. and claims he can prove his innocence.
 Both boys are being held for a pre- liminary examination. which will probably be held early next week.

JEWISH COLONIES
TWO OFFICERS OF BIG oRGANI-
EATON ARE VISITING THE
CAPITAL CITY.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 2s.--Gabrie
Davidson of New York city, represen.
tative OF the Jewish National Agri.
cultural and Industrial Aid society
and Joseph Blanstem, the North Da-
kota representative have been in the
city couple Of days
In conversation last night at the
Grand Pacific hotel, Mr.. Davidson said
the society did not seek publicity in
its work and he disliked to talk for
publication, but the objects Of the
society are what its name implies.
The organization was formed for the
purpose Of leading the mind OF the
American Jew away from merchan-
dizing and into other pursuits. The
Jewish people are not given to till
Ing the soil as rule, and hesitate to
enter what is known as Industrial
but under the counsel and influence
Of this society there are many now en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits.
We have our people scattered al
over North Dakota" said Mr.. David
SON, "and they are in fairly prosper
GUS condition. Probably the greatest
number are in Mcintosh and Burleigh
counties, but there are some In Bow
man, Mckenzie and other couties
Our society is not a colonization or
ganization," declared Mr.. Davidson
when questioned on this point. 1--WE
are glad to locate families in the
west and assist them whenever we can
but no colonies are being established
The crowded conditions of the great
cities has shown the need OF larger
field Of endeavor for our people and
farm life in the west offers the best
solution"
While the Jewish people are inclined
to be clannish in the big cities they
show no particular desire to congre-
gate in the country and as a conse-
quence Jewish families are located
here and there according to conven-
fence and opportunity.
The National Aid society helps the
poor to reach the west when employ
neRt on the farm Is what one cares 10
make it. And after they are located
the society keeps watchful eye on
them and furnishes aid where aid IL
found to be needed. 1t is for this
purpose Of making an investigation
and studying conditions that Mr.. Dav-
idson Is making q tour OF the state
He win then report his findings tc
the national society, and that organ
ization will take such steps in the
way Of relief as Is deemed advisable

BOYS LEG WAS
BADLY MANGLED

Sarles Advocate: Willis King, son
Of Thomas King, a retired farmer liv-
ing at Hannah, was very seriously hurt
on the Martin Olson farm three miles
southwest of town on Tuesday morn
ing about o'clock. and 1t is thought
that he may lose one Of his legs. Will
lis was employed by Martin Olson, and
We understand that he had been work.
ing out there but a short time. If we
have the story correctly the young lad
was in the act of removing a large
stone from in front of binder when
Mr.. Olson started up the gasoline mo-
tor, not knowing that the lad was in
front Of the binder, in some manner
he came in contact with the SICKLE
which cut his legs terribly. AS soon
as the engine could be stopped he
was taken from the binder and placed
in an automobile and brought to this
place, where local doctor dressed the
wounds. He was taken to the Hannah
hospital The boy showed great grit
and held UP his spirits, which is say
ing good deal for the lad.

having disappeared.

empty WdSOAls DULIA TIC wheat dnu OdkS
having disappeared.
Owing to recent rains the wagon was
easily tracked to small shack south
of the river formerly occupied by Wal
ter Joyce where the wheat was found.
The wagon was then tracked to the
McElhardy farm where the oats had
been left.
Other evidence led to the belief that
Walter Joyce and young McElhardy
were the guilty parties and warrants
were sworn out for their arrest and
they were taken in by Sheriff Cooper.
It is said that Joyce has confessed to
the theft. but that McElhardy asserts
his Innocence, claiming that he was
hired by Joyce to haul the grain and
did not know that 1t was stolen prop
erfy.
Both young men are well known ia
this vicinity. Heretofore they have
had good regulations and this In the
first time they have been accused of
fracturing the law. Joyce formerly
rented land south of the river, but last
spring sold his horses and other per-
sonal property and has been working
for other farmers. McEIhardy lives
with his parents, south OF Anselm, who
are hard working farmers. The trial
will probably be held next week.

EXPRESS RATES
OF N. D. TOO HIGH
LAuNpRYMEN's PETITION IS DE-
MED, HOWEVER, BECAUSE
lT WOULD BE DIscRIM.
INAToRY.

Bismarck. N. d., Sept. 25.-The fol-
lowing ruling by the state railway
commission sustaining laundry express
rates Is self-explanatory:
Order.
state Of North Dakota. Board OF
Railroad Commissioners. In the mat
ter of the complaint of the North Da-
kota Launderers' association VS.. Ex-
press companies doing business in this
state.
The petition in this proceeding COM
plains, first OF the order Of this COM
mission prohibiting express companies
from carrying articles OF wearing ap-
parel, dry cleaned or intended 70 De
dry cleaned, in packages containing
soiled or Numbered articles, at laundry
rates. This order was based upon the
complaint of dry cleaners not engaged
in the laundry business, as it permitted
a discrimination against them as TO
express rates upon dry cleaned articles.
Though this order was entered ex
parte by this commission. 1t is now ad-
hered to, as II Is manifest that the dis
crepancy between the value OF dry
cleaned apparel and ordinary laundry
articles is so great as to require them
TO be placed in different classifications
for rate purposes.
The petition complains further that
rates upon Numbered articles and upon
returned soiled linen, and upon the car
rier thereof, are too high in and OF
themselves. The commission is con-
WINGED that all express rates in this
state are too high. and 1t is the aim and
intention of this commission ultimately
TO secure and enforce a substantial re-
duction of interstate rates of all class
ifications, and to this end has for a
wear past and is now earnestly engaged
in an investigation Of this subject, but
the members are unanimously or the
opinion that the facts that the express
companies get two shipments OF laund-
cred articles-coming and going-an1
that the container is not carried at
reduced rate, or free. are not sufficient
grounds for granting lower rate
thereon in discrimination against other
commodities, and that the present
classification scheme, and the rates for
the different classification, are evenly
balanced as a whole, though uniformly
too high, and that the remedy to the
petitioners should come in a horizontal
reduction of all express rates. and not
by a discriminatory reduction OF this
commodity alone.
Wherefore the petition is denied.
Dated at Bismarck, Sept IA, 1911.
