CHRISTMAS TRAIN HELD UP.
Holiday Celebration Is Costly for
Colfax Young Men.

Conductor Jack Wright refused to
pull out of Colfax with his passenger
train at 9:45 O'Clock Christmas night
because he had several boisterous
passengers aboard who would not
heed his advice to keep still. In re-
sponse to telephone call Deputy
Sheriff ]. B. Eastep was soon on the
job and elected four men pointed out
by the conductor. The task was a
strenuous one as the lady friends
pulled one way while the deputy pull
led the other way. AS soon as they
were on the ground two of the men
broke and ran away but one of them
was captured later.
Special Deputy James Hickman
happened to be in the vicinity and as
sisted in landing the prisoners in jail.
The next morning the three men
pleaded guilty to charge of being
drunk and disorderly in a public
place and were each fined $25 and
costs by Judge Doolittle. Fred Kel-
ley paid his S27.50 and was released
but H. D. Bennett and H. Morris
were unable to raise the money.
Bennett disclaims any connection
with the party and regrets his at
tempt to run away when elected from
the train. The party is supposed to
have been on their way to Winona to
attend a dance.

FRAUD CHARGES
ARE GROUNDLESS
RECOUNT EXONERATES ELECTION
OFFICERS In FIRST WARD.
TIFFT Is MAYOR.

The recount conducted by the city
council Tuesday night shows that DR..
J. Floyd Tiff was elected mayor by
the same majority as declared by the
ofhcers who conducted the election
aud counted the votes on December 5.
In counting the votes Tuesday night
the totals showed that Tiff received
162 and w einberg 16I votes in the
first ward but balk was made in the
count and one OF the judges believed
one vote was counted for Weinberg
that should have been counted for
Tiff. If there was an error in the
last count the vote would have beep
correct at 100 for Weinberg and 163
for rifft, exactly the same as reported
by the first official returns of the
election officers.
When the council was called to or
der Tuesday night Councilman Per-
rlne was chosen to act as chairman
Councilman Stravens moved that the
resolution, passed by the council a
week ago calling for a recount, be re-
considered. A vote was taken, Stra-
vens, Dreifus and Johnson voting to
reconsider. Perrine, Barro1l and
Kirkland wished 70 go on with the
recount. Not having a majority the
motion was lost. In proceeding with
the recount Chairman Perrine ap-
pointed Councilman Barroll and Stra-
vens as judges and Clerk Bramwell
and councilman as clerks.

DOCTOR STRANDED
in THE COUNTRY
LEFT in The MIDDLE OF NIGHT
WITH UNCONSCIOUS DRIVER
and NO TEAM.

Unconscious for nearly 80 hours,
but entirely recovered from his injur-
les two days later, is the experience
which befell Arthur Jensen, driver
for Price Cochran, owner of the cab
barn. Jensen left the barn after
dark Saturday night to drive in the
country for DR.. Palamountain. AS
they were going through a barbed
wire gate to reach house where the
doctor was to make a call, the team
became tangled in the wire and
"jacknifed" breaking the pole from
the buggy. This was at o'clock in
the evening. Another buggy was Sc
cured, the doctor made his call and
the return trip was started
Jogging along at IL o'clock they
came to a rutty piece of road about
four miles southwest of Colfax where
the axle dragged on the ground. All
at once there was bump and jerk.
The team gave lunge breaking the
double-trees and raced down the
road. Jensen was dragged over the
dashboard and struck on his stomach
but held to the reins and was drag
ged so feet before the horses left
him. He rose to his feet and walked
to the side of the road where he fell
over wire fence and hung limp and
apparent lifeless.
DR.. Palamountain laid the injured
man on lap robe and tried to bring
him to consciousness. They were far
from any house and with no team.
Luckily at that moment DR.. Skaife
came along on his way to answer a
night call in the Wilcox country. The
unconscious man was taken to the
Turner residence but no one was at
home. The doctors realizing the ur-
gency of the case pried open a win
dow and laid the patient on a bed.
There was a telephone in the house
but it was out Of order. The doctors
built fire in the kitchen stove and
turned the home into hospital DR..
Palamountain was left in charge
while DR.. Skaife went on to Wilcox
where he reused the telephone opera
tor and sent for help and another
team.
1t was noon of the next day before
DR.. Palamountain and his driver of
the night before reached Colfax.
Once on the return trip Jensen re-
gained consciousness for a moment
but Immediately went to sleep" Ar
irving in town he was taken to the
home Of Price Cochran where he re-
gained consciousness 80 hours after
he was dragged from the buggy and
received the solar plexis blow on the
frozen ground
The following day Jensen was
around with only a few sore spots to
remind him of the eventful drive in
the country

MANY CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
Colfax Citizens Break All Records
for Free Giving.

All records were broken at the To-
cal postoffice and express offices by
the Christmas business this year.
Assistant Postmaster d. Fl. Shaw
says although no exact records were
kept he believes the number of pack
ages handled this year is double the
number handled in any previous year
IN the history of the office. The num-
Der Of registered packages received
and dispatched and postoffice money
orders issued is also far ahead of
any previous holiday record
G. H. Strumel, agent for the Amer
lean Express company, has not yet
totaled the figures for the holiday
business but he believes the number
OF express packages sent out of Col
fax this year is at least % per cent
larger than ever before during a hol-
lday season. The number of pack
ages received was also larger than
ever before though the proportion of
increase was not as large as in the
number of outgoing packages.

BORN GETS so DAYS.
Pay in Advance Agent Gets Off With
Light Sentence

After waiting in the county jail
for 81 days l.. Borin has pleaded
guilty to a charge to issuing checks
on a bank in which he had no funds
and received a sentence of so days
in the county jail, deducting the time
which he has already been in the Jail
The checks were issued in Tekoa and
Borin was arrested at Rosalia. Bor-
ms chief business seems to have
been to solicit orders for clothing,
collect few dollars with each order
and fail to deliver, or even send in
orders for the clothes, although he
was a regularly appointed agent for
a large clothing house in the east.
AS side issue he drew checks to the
amount of about $50 on a Tekoa
bank in which he had no funds.
Borin had checkered career in Mon
tana before he was nabbed by the
Whitman county officials.

crowds. Barnum, Hypnotist and
Scientist, will entertain with exhi-
bitions of hypnosis and practical
psychology. 1t is claimed that he
has the greatest laughing show on
earth and critics in cities where he
has played say that all records for
laughing are broken. He hypnotises
people from the audience and has
them go through all kinds of ludic-
ious scenes and laughable situations.
The comedy produced is clean and in
no way offensive. Being one of
Americas foremost psychologists
and the best stage demonstrator of
hypnotism he is in a position to in
struct as well as entertain. People
interested in any phase of psycholo-
gy will enjoy his lectures and scien-
tific tests and those wishing to
laugh will have the opportunity.
Barnum changes his performances
each night.
