A Day Book reporter today
talked to one of the policemen,
now detailed under LAWN for the
capture of Webb. For obvious
reasons this policeman's name
cannot be used.
whats the use of our risking
our lives" this policeman asked.
whats the use of our risking
getting what poor Hart got when
the odds are that if we capture
Webb the case aaginst him will
be quietly dropped?
ct seems almost impossible
that such thing would be done,
doesn't it?
"But have you ever heard Of
the murderers of Frank Witt or
George HEIR going to trial?
"Of course you haven't, and if
they are not put on trial soon the
statute of limitations will have
run its course, and it will be i'm
possible to bring them to trial
81 tell you now that I and the
other policemen on this job don't
care to risk our lives to capture
a man who probably would be
protected after capture-a man
whom we know would as soon
kill a cop as not"
The story of Webb's life was
told today by Mrs. w. H. Lon

STATES MOTION IS DENIED
Asks That Great Western Road Be
Required to Test Reduced Pas
seneer and Freight Rates.

Judge G. A. Willard denied the re-
quest of the state officials for an or
der directing the Chicago Great West
ern railroad to put into effect the new
passenger and freight rates for test
period of ninety days, at an informal
hearing in the federal district court
at st. Paul. The court suggested
that the proper course for the states
officials to pursue is to make appli-
cation, accompanied by afidavits, for
the dissolution of the Injunction
against the road. The states attor-
neys gave notice that they will make
such a motion, and Aug. Is was set
as the time when it will be heard.
Attorney General Smith said there
were special reasons for asking for
the test period. The road had been
through a series of misfortunes when
the rates were put in before, while
now it has been established as a well
conducted road, gaining in patronage.
Therefore, If the rates were confsca-
tory when in force, they might be re-
munerative now. Also, he said, if the
higher rates are put in now and no
refunds paid public sentiment will be
created which will cause a loss OF
business for the road. Court records
were cited showing that lower rate
in some cases brought greater rev.
enue.
Judge Willard said he did not feel
justified in ordering the test period
now, but if on the showing made in
the afidavits in the hearing on the
motion for dissolution, it looks like
close case, the test period may 5e
ordered.

TANK FALLS THROUGH STORE
Mankato Man Buried Under Tons of

Mdnkato wan Buried Onoer IONS OF
Debris.
More than twenty workmen mar
rowly escaped death, one was buried
for two hours beneath tons of debris
and the Patterson Mercantile COM
pany's four-story building at Mankato
was damaged to the extent of $4,000
when a steel water tank, containing
$4,000 gallons, fell through the build
ing.
The tank tore through one corner
of the building, carrying boxes of gro
ceries and other stock with it.
The debris and one end of the tank
struck squarely on top of Conner Jones'
motorcycle store, in which two me-
chanics were working.
One of the men, Ernest L. Skoog,
was trapped under fifteen feet of brick,
mortar and boxed goods. A crowd
gathered and scores of men went to
work to dig him out.
When taken out it was found that
both Skoog's legs were fractured. 1t
is thought he will recover.
