wORLEY IS A LUCKY MAN
Attempts Made to Stab and Shoot

As the result of a brawl which
took place near the Great Northern
Railway company's section house
Christmas night in which part was
taken by over a dozen Italians,
members of the two section crews
working out of this place, war
rants have been issued for Angelo

men being charged with assault
with a deadly weapon. Granata

of Peace, O'Callaghan at II O'Clock
Monday morning and Maribelli
will have his hearing tomorrow

The complaining witnesses are
Joseph H. Lateano and James La
teano, father and son respectively.
The compliments allege that the
brawl is the result of a longstand-
ing fued and that frame-up had
been made to do away with the
younger Lateano, who is a section
boss.
Christmas night the younger
Lateano informed Constable Wor-
tey that his enemies were framing
up to get him. Worry arrived at
the section house just as the fracas
broke out and saw the Lateanos
rush out of the house with Crate
ano and Maribelli at their heels.

came up to Morley the constable
turned his flashlight on him. La

Tax Commission Bin atEw

The tax commission bill will
provide that a commission shall
collect data for the proper valua-
ton of the taxable property in the
state and for the purpose OF max
ing assessments against railroads
and other public service corpora
tons and for the further purpose
of more Justly equalizing the as
sessed valuation in the several
counties of the state. Owing to the
fact that the work of the tax COM
mission would include a great
amount of the work which would
have to be done by a publict utili-
ties commission, and as both com
missions would be compelled tc
gather almost the same data, there
is a movement on foot to combine
the two commissions into one, al
least for the first four or five years
One commission could do the worl
of both, it is thought, and there
would be a saving of probably SIS,
900 year to the state in thes
two bodies.

near Spirit Lake, Ida, and all the
money she can earn is sent by her
to the six children here who live
in little two room house opposite

mother came here some three
months ago to work at the West

best of her ability, the brood of
FIVE younger children-a girl aged
nine years, girl twins aged seven
years, boy aged eight years and
a babe seven months old. For a
time, before neighbors learned OF
their condition, the family was in
great need. AT one time they
lived on a remittance of 81 sent

Amend Primary Law

One amendment is proposed to
the direct primary law. 1t is the
same provision which Governor
Hawley vetoed at the last session
of the legislature. A bill will be
introduced as an amendment to the
present primary law which will
stop the voting for the nominees
of one party by the voters of anoth-
er party. In the last two primary
elections it has been an open Sc
cret that the democrats voted the
republican ticket in an attempt to
nominate the weakest republican
candidates and that in counties
where county division was on the
republicans voted for democratic
nominees. This was the case il
Lincoln county last July, when the
republicans voted for Democrat,
Legislative nominees.
Under the new law it will b,
necessary for voter when he o

of the bill 1t is pointed out in
numerous reports by DIR. Poole
and Warden Shook and other
heads of state institutions for the

based on the deductions of the ia
nous alienists and criminologists
Of the country, who claim that the
powers of reproduction should be
taken away from those who are
morally and mentally degenerate
All Favor This Bill
In these reports it is shown thai
the tendency of these classes tC
have large families is greater by 81
per cent than normal persons. L
is further claimed that if the habit

that it would in measure stoI
