REDUCED Freight.
Rates result Of
LATE DECISION

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 25-Ir
what are known as the Spokane-Reno.
Pacific coast cases the interstate com:
MERGE commission ordered a material
reduction in freight rates from the east
to points between Denver and the
western terminal of the great transcon-
tinental railroads.
For many years the railroads have
exacted from shippers to intermediate
points such as Spokane and Reno,
higher rates on eastern freights than
were charged for the much longer hauls
to Seattle, San Francisco and other
Pacific coast points The theory has
been that the railroads must meet 9th
er competition to the Pacific coast. The
higher rates to intermediate points, ar
bitrarily fixed, have been defended by
a comparison with the coast rates, plus
the theoretical haul back from the coast
to the inland stations along the line.
The decisions announced late today
are of far-reaching Importance. They
affect directly all freight rates be-
tween the Atlantic ocean and the Pa
ci6c coast. Particularly do they affect
the rates in the territory lying be-
tween Denver and the Pacific coast
points. Hereafter the rates paid by
shippers will be governed by a strict
Interpretation of the long and short
haul clause.
The commission holds in the So
called Reno case that traffic originat-
ing at Chicago and in Chicago terri
tory moving under commodity rates,
may have a rate of per cent higher to
intermediate points than that imposed
on freight originating in Chicago and
Chicago territory destined to the Pa
cific coast terminals. From Buffalo,
Pittsburg territory the rates may rise
above those demanded from the same
points to Pacific coast terminals to
the extent of Is per cent; while from
New York and Trunk line territory
the rates charged shall not exceed %
per cent over Pacific coast ltermina
rates.
These are the first decisions an
nounced by the commission in which
definite principle in respect of the
long-and-short-haul provision is laid
down. While the opinions fully rec
ognize the influence of water compe-
tition, to marked extent they draw
a line upon indiscriminate market
The effect of the decisions will be to
notify the carriers that they will be
allowed to meet water competition to
a reasonable extent, but that the loca-
ton of markets hereafter will be left
more to the play of commercial causes
han to the will of the traffic mana
gers of railways.
The cases involved are those of the
:lty OF Spokane against the Northern
Pacific Railway company, known popu-
arly as the Spokane Rate Case;'' the
Commercial club of Salt Lake City
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
e railway company and others; the
abroad commission of Nevada against
he Southern Pacific company and 9TH
,rs; and the Maricopa County Com
nercial club against the Santa Fe,
Prescott & Phoenix Railway company
md other carriers.

dime NOVEL AFFAIR
SAYS EYE WITNESS

MINOT, N. D., July Pit was
the frills," said E. H. Breslauer, nov
city salesman, who registered at the
West hotel today and who was on the
North Coast Limited on the N. P,
held up west of Fargo. Mr. Bresauer
is the brother of NJ. Breslauer. of the
posting company in this city, and was
on the train bound for Minneapolis
when the robbery occurred. In speak
ing of his experiences today, he said ::
Il had gone to bed about half past
ten when | was awakened by the rush
of footsteps down the aisle of the car.
Looking out | saw two men in blue
overalls with blue cotton handker-
chiefs over their faces and big re-
volvers in their hands running through
the car, Get your head in there, you
bum, said one, or III put you out
of business l took in my head. A
few seconds later I heard a shot up
i'll front and the train came to a stop.
In the meantime everybody was in
curing in whispers to know what had
happened, though it was obvious
enough that we had been held up. A
minute or two later one of the Pull
man conductors came through on the
Jump. yelling, Has anyone here got a
gum
up at the upper end of my car a
sleepy looking man stuck his head out
of the berth and said, You bet,
can fix you up and fishing around
under the seat he brought out a dress
suit case from which he unearthed a
new automatic pistol He tried to
explain its action to the conductor but
the latter was in too much of hurry
to wait and as soon as he got his
hands on the gun ran back down the
aisle and just as he turned the corner
by the smokino compartment we heard
him shoot. Then there were a lot of
yells and We heard the vestibule door
slam and then the patter of feet in
the dark outside
by that time everybody on the train
was awake comparing notes as to how
it all happened and how much the rob-
bers had gotten away with. 1t seems
that the train slowed down on the long
trestle where the Northern Poetic
crosses the 500 line just east of Valley
City, and as it did so these five masked
men climbed on, two on one side and
three on the other The conductor and
brakeman were the only ones in the
observation car and they found them
selves covered with six-shooters before
they could even get out of their chairs
The robbers then divided up, party
of three beginning at the rear in sys-
temaflc canvas of the berths while two
ran up through the train to the en-
CINE. These were the ones that awak-
ened me.

FOUND SHOES IN STACK,
Workman Finds Box Of Shoes Hidden
in Straw Stack.

Casselton Reporter: Monday night,
when a working man went to a straw
stack on the south side of August
Dittmers place. at the head of Third
avenue south, to dig out a hole to
sleep in, he ran onto box of shoes.
Fearing lest he might be found with
the goods, he came to town and mott
fled the officers, and Chief Bunker
and Deputy Ross went out and got
the plumber, which consisted of q
pair of shoes bearing the brand of
the Spokane Shoe Factory. The shoes
were brought to town and placed in
the charge of Justice Walker. where
they will remain until Identification
is made. 1t is, of course, probable
that the shoes were stolen from the
Great Northern cars here in the
freight yard and covered up until
there should be an opportunity of dis
posing of them. The railroad has
been notified and doubtless the prop
er officers will be here and take a
hand in looking up the matter

Brave Mr.. shea
CAPTURES A WOMAN
(SpeciaI to the TrIbune)

FARGO, N. D., July 2j-united
States Marshal James Shea is home
from trip to the Standing Rock
reservation where he succeeded II
rounding up two of the alleged leaders
of we'll known gang of cattle rust
lers, which has long been the terror OF
that part of the state.
The captives are young man and
woman, husband and wife, aged go and
20 years respectively. Marshal Shea
has been after the members of this
gang for some time and has had no
little trouble in capturing these two,
who are said to be leaders of the gang.
Their capture makes him hopeful of
taking the rest within few weeks, or
at least of putting a crimp in their
activities.
The woman is only 20 years old, and
it is stated that she has been engaged
in stealing the cattle from the Indians
on the reservation for about three
years.
She told Marshal Shea that for about
a year and a half she did not realize
just what she was doing, as she did
not know her husband was a member
of the gang of rustlers when she mar
ried him at the age of II. Since she
discovered the real occupation of the
band of desperadoes, it is said she was
compelled to continue IS her life had
been threatened if she withdrew or
'squealed."
For some time the Indians on the
Standing Rock reservation have been
greatly molested by the members of
this gang, who would swoop down on
their herds at repeated intervals and
take their best cattle. Complaints
were registered at the office of the
United States marshal a long while
ago, and the marshal and his depu-
ties have been on the trail of the
rustlers ever since, but without any
great results until last week when
Marshal Shea himself captured the
leader of the gang and his wife.
The woman is a clever horsewoman,
and the marshals account of her cap
ture is thrilling and quite reminiscent
of the old Dakota territorial days. 1t
is expected that other warrants will
follow in the near future
Both captives were brought to
Fargo and confined in the county jail,
where they will be cid to the grand
jury.
