promptly shut off, but too late to
save his life. He was caught across
the heart and his left arm and en-
tire left side was almost literally
chewed off.

Minot Independent: Many years
ago Ed. Kelley. our sheriff, played
joke on Olaf A. Olsoa, and Tor
many years Mr.. Olson has been try
ing to learn who did it. 1t happened
so long ago that we don't suppose
that Ed. will have to climb q tree
if we tell it. Kelley was passing
a stream and saw a school of min
nows. Taking a willow and his
handkerchief, he scooped up a few
dozen Of them and carried them up
town. Olson was delivering milk
on north Main street and had just
left his wagon when Kelley lifted
off the lid of the milk can and
dumped the minnows in. Olson's
next delivery was to Ernie Tomp-
kin's European restaurant, and of
course he got the milk with the
fish. When a customer found a min
now III his tea, he called Ernie's at
tention 10 it. Ernie Investigated,
found the milk with the fish and
lost no time in finding Mr.. Olson.
The inilkman could not give i. sat
isfactory explanation, he was COM
PEELED to take back his milk and for
many years he was unable to ex-
plain just how the fish came to get
into his milk.

north of Montpelier Junction.
The Green Mountain express over the
Wells River road was about four hours
late The Boston e. Maine connections At

the delay. Trainmen reported the storm
much worse near White River Junction

PROVIDES FOR TAKING
OVER EXPRESS BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, Feb Ex-senator Gardner
OF Maine yesterday introduced a bill I'M
der which the government would take
over the properties OF express companies
and operate them as Il part of the post al
rervice, extending the service to the rural
districts. The cost estimate is as fol-
lows: Real property, s4.932.6o; equip
fnent, s7,3sl, 4o5; materials and supplies,
~. $50, ssS, and franchises. good will, etc,
s5,S3i.06G and franchises, good will, etc.
e1o.s77 1896, a total OF $50. 1888.
While the balance sheets OF the COM
panies show assets OF nearly $l6o.0n, 0O
Senator Gardner argues that these are
not devoted to express service and this
property might be retained by the cor
porations without impairtng its value.
Senator Gardner, in a long statement
Analysing the bin. declares that taking
tine busnefs from private corporations to
the government could take place In day
and the business continue on the NOR
row without visible change to the public
in the effectiveness OF the service. He ex-
poets to create sentiment In favor OF the
bill with the argument that rates based
upon the quantity and distance OF service
performed would work no discrimination
against any business. wherever located
Bnd that tine system provided would meet
The opposition urged against the proposed
"parcels post calling for a Nat rate
which small merchants say would work
10 the advantage Of large mail order
houses.
While the bill does not fix rates. Senator
Gardner offers figures showing that ex
press charges in this country are now Il
times freight charges, and indicating thai
under the postal system this ratio c0ult
be reduced to about five and one-half L
one. and at the same time the express
business would be extended to the entire
country.
