A COURT DECISION
IMPORTANT RULING FROM 4
RAILWAY VIEWPOINT.
Judge Decides that Commissioners
Have No Authority to Order In
Stations Unless Requests
Comply with Law.

Aberdeen.-One of the most import
ant judicial decisions, from a railroads
viewpoint, that has been handed down
for some time was handed down by
Judge Carpenter, of Lennon. The de-
dision was in the case Of the state ex
rel. George Rice, f. G. Robinson and
William Smith, constituting he state
board Of railway commissioners, VS..
the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget
Sound Railway company, which was
decided for the defendant company,
the judge holding that the railroad
commission had nc authority to order
in stations and s~idetracks unless that
request complied with the statutes
which provide a twelve-mile limit be-
tween stations.
The case started May 2, 1911 when
the railroad commission ordered the
defendant company to construct a suit
able station and sidetrack at White
Butte. Perkins county, requiring the
work to be done on or before Novem-
Der / of that year.. The company re-
fused to do this and a writ OF mandam-
us was issued by Judge Carpenter on
November 9 ordering the work to be
done or reason shown why not. An
answer was filed by the company set
ting forth that the order was uncon-
stitutional, as no public necessity ex-
listed and that the townsite of White
Butte was only four miles from Petrol,
N. D., and six miles from Haynes, N.
D., and therefore did not come under
the twelve-mile statute, which provides
that where a necessity exists stations
must be established at towns over
twelve miles from established stations.
The ease was brought to trial on
February IL, w. G. Porter, of this city,
fighting the case for the railroad. The
testimony disclosed that a townsite
had been plated and locations sold
with the understanding that a railroad
station would be established. A sa-
loon was built, and the testimony intro
duced showed that the object of the
promoters was to control the liquor
business of Petrol and Haynes, which
towns were located in prohibition
North Dakota. The testimony further
disclosed that there was no public nee
essity existing for a station to be es-
%tablished, the necessity being a person
al and private one.
The decision will be far reaching
in railroad circles.

mournfully. MY friend, If O had

the average burglar spends between
two-thirds and four-ifths Of his active

The man recoiled a step and looked
at him In establishment. Convinced
that he was on the right track, Joce-

What answer would have been re-

vealed the girl Of the sables. And, in
her indoor attire, she looked still more
bewitching than before.

tated, she hurried toward him.

wholly selfish, bartering his sisters

tremulous with anxiety for her broth

LACKS THE PROPER ENDING
Something New in Ghost Stories In
That 1t Was Not a Disembodled
Spirit.

1t sounds like a contradiction in
terms to speak of ghosts of the living,
but phantasms Of persons still in the
flesh are experienced fully as often, If
not more often, than phantasms of the
dead. Obviously, in such cases there
can be nothing objective about the ap-
partitions. Yet to those who have seen
them, phantasms of the living are
quite as wildly realistic and make
as profound a. impression as phan-
tasms Of the dead, for which they are
almost always mistaken, with conse-
quent anguish to the persons whom
they visit.
To illustrate, Miss A. Cressy, while
seated with her mother and sister in
the dining room of their English home,
happened to glance up and saw. look
ing In at them through an open win
dow, a brother who happened to be
in Australia.
"Oh, mother" she exclaimed,
here's a surprise for us! Tom has
come home!"
Tom home? Where is hep
"Out on the lawn. I'll go and let him
in"
She went to the front dor and threw
it open. No one was In sight.
Toni" she called. Where are you,
Toni"
10 answer.
Then, thinking that in testing
spirit ne had hidden among the shrub
berry:
Come in, Tom. Don't play the
fool. You know how weak poor
mothers heart 1t. Do you want to
kill hsre"
Still ailence.
By this time her father la Joined
the little group at the front door, and
all four made a rapid but thorough
search % the grounds. No one was In
them, no4. could anyone have got away
without being seer Now from mother
came tha wailing cry:
1T Wa not Tom you say. but Toms
ghost. .om is dead!"
A ear afterward Tom came bach
from Australia in the best Of health.
Oddly enough, though, 1t developed
that, at the time his ghost" appeared
to his sister, he had been seriously Ill
of fever, and in his delirium had con
stantly entreated his attendants to
place him under the great cedar that
grew on his fathers lawn.-Haz1ptao,s
Magazine.

not accept this sacrifice. No, if it is
to be SO, let my brother suffer for
what be has done. After all 1t is not
right that he should evade the justice
of the law"
yes, let me pay the penalty" re-
echoed Barrett in listless apathy.
Lord Jocelyn looked from the one
to the other in bewilderment. But
just now you were moving heaven and
earth to effect his escape" he cried.
The young woman wrung her hands
in desperation. "Oh, Will you go?"
she cried. Never mind nny inconsis-
tencies. 60, before it is too late!"
Lord Jocelyn turned toward the
door. There seemed to be 10 alterna-
tive but to comply. He could not
force this sacrifice on them IN despite
of that determination. But even as he
laid his fingers IN the handle of the
door he heard the heavy tread Of foot
steps ascending the stairway. They
reached the top stair and baked, and
others succeeded them. Then all
could hear voices of men, pitched in
low tones, without.
The girl hesitated for an instant;
then, without a word, she dafted to-
ward the door that led into yhe in
terror room. She flung 1t wide and
few through, beyond another door,
and into a passage terminating In a
stairway. Following, hastily, 3ocelyn
heard the girl hurrying dowa, and
caught sight of her, three flights be-
low, hurrying in hot haste toward the
back egress. Some impulse that he
made no effort to analyze turned his
footsteps back into the room which he
had vacated. Barrett stood there
alone in gloomy meditation. JoceJn
went up to him and held out bis
hand.
II do not know what part 1 have ros
Willingly played in this tragedy" Le
said. But l repeat my former offer
to you. Follow your sister. Though
the house is watched, I will voluntar-
lily give myself up in place of you.

want? There's nobody here!" she
cried.
my visit is, I assure you, entirely
a business one," Lord Jocelyn an
swered.
These words seemed to produce ex-
traordinary CONSERVATION In the
young woman's breast.
Her eyes dilated In terror; suddenly
she put forth her hands and clasped
Jocelyn's arm in agitation.
Don't take him, officer" she plead
ed. HE was just going to leave. By
morning he would have been over the
Canadian border. It would break my
heart and his old mothers. He did
not mean to do anything really wrong;
he hardly knew that it was a criminal
act, for he would have replaced the
money in the vaults of the bank to-
covery.
I'VE have restored the money" she
continued, dabbing at her eyes with
a handkerchief Of f1lmy lace. 81 have
pawned my sables and my diamonds.
l will send the money to the president
in your presence, If only you will go
back and say that you couldn't find
him"
You're a fool, Sis" interrupted the
young man, harshly. Here, officer,
whatll you take to give me two hours
start? There's eight or nine hundred
sisters raised upon her furs and jew
els. Let's divvy up. Give me four
hundred to start me on my way and
you shall have the rest"
mo, no, Walter" the young woman
cried. You promised me that you'd
be honest II I got the money for you.
It must go to the president. officer,
you'll spare him, won't you?"
Il tell you you're on the wrong tack,
sis," cried the young man in exaspera-
ton. You've kept me sewed up In
this empty apartment for a whole
week while they were searching for
me, and now that I've got a chance to
beat it you want to spoil everything
by your COMPOUNDED scruples."
