before the driver could urge his steed
forward the wagon had been caught
between a moving train and a string
OF stationary cars.
Patrol Driver willie" Toots had
charge OF the team. In the wagon
with him was Herman Fischer recent
lN appointed as driver for the South
side wagon. Both succeeded In jump
Ing before the crash came, and Fischer
showed his nerve by sevcring the
traces and saving the horse from being
crushed to death. Both men and the
horse were unhurt.

SIGNALS LEGALLY DEFINED

The session of the California Leg
islature just ended created in addition
to the widely discussed alien land
bill, a measure completely remodel
ing the automobile laws of the state.
Under a new law which has just
been signed by Governor Johnson a
new license system is established, new
rules of the road created and a radi-
cal departure made, at least so far as
western states are concerned, by
transferring the issuing of licenses
from the secretary of state to the
state engineer.
Another notable feature of the new
law is it's provision regarding the
automobile warning signal. BY it's
enactment California becomes the
first state to legally define what con-
stitutes an adequate signal, and also
to make unlawful the use of all sig
nails "for any purpose except as warn
ings of danger
The law provides that every motor
vehicle shall be equipped with sig
mailing. devise "capable of emitting
an abrupt sound, adequate in quality

MAKING HIT OVER STATE
Clippings From Minnesota Papers
Show Way Citizens are Receiving

MANY FARMERS ARE ATTENDING

Evidence that University week is

comments of the state.
University week begins in Bemidjl
next Monday and afternoon and eve
ming programs will be held through
out the entire week.
Some of the comments of. the press
follow:
The lecture on "Greek Plays and
Theaters'' by Prof. Charles A. Savage
and college actors in "A Pair of Spec
tacles,'' on yesterdays University
week program here, were charms
which drew from the country the
largest number of farmers that ever
attended lecture or a show in his
tory of this town. Country people, in
spite of bad roads and the busy sea-
son, drove ten miles to take the con-
densed courses of the travelling uni
versity, and they stayed for both aft
ernoon and night sessions.-Jackson

in their praise of the Glee clubs en-
tertainment of last evening. The

Court House Has Been Redecorated
~ and Remodeled Throughout.
Justice Scales Replaced.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS MADE

Contractors have completed re-
decorating and remode1ing the court
house which now presents the ap-
pearance of a new building. All Of
fees have been kalsomined and re-
modelled including the corridors and
basement. A hard wood floor has
been laid in the County Surveyors
office and other extensive up-to-date
have been made.
The trimmings on the exterior of
the building have also been repaint-
ed and the dome is now Of a grey
color that can easily be seen from a
distance because of the contrast with
the ffiSin part of the building. The
scales have been restored to- the
Goddess of Justice for the first time
in many years and nothing has been
left undone to make the building as
attractive as any county house iii the
state ...-. :..-
The repair work just finished was
the first done on the building since
it was built in 1901. At the first
of the Commissioners this
spring bids we're advertised for and
were awarded to a Blackduck firm.
The space which was occupied by
the old barn has been made into a
lawn. A cement drive way has been
laid through the center of the grounds
between Sixth and Seventh streets
which prevents drivers from tear
ng the lawns up when loaded with
heavy freight.

NO PRECEDENT TO FOLLOW
Are Again Told That Their Duty is to
1ndict Railroads Where Viola
tions Have Been Made.
INDEPENDENT OF FREIGHT CASE
Says That Proposition Now Up Be-
fore United States Supreme Court
Should Not Be Considered.

Red Wing, Minn., June 6.-Good-
hue county grand jurors, ordered by
Judge Albert Johnson to investigate
violations by the railroads of the
two-cent fare law, yesterday were so
confused over the tangle of statutes
enacted and repealed that they were
forced to go before Judge Johnson for
further instructions.
The jurors admitted frankly that
they are cropping in the dark. This
is the first time since the enactment
of the law in 1907 that an investi-
cation alleging criminal violation of
the two-cent fare law has been made,
and they have no precedent to fol-
low. >~.'' T.
When the jurors appeared before
Judge Johnson and told of their pre-
dicament today he replied that he
had stated the facts fully and plainly
in his first charge. He read the
1907 law again and said 1t was the
duty of the jury to find indictments
against any railroad officials foundsta
have violated it in Goodhue county
since it's enactment five years ago.
He added the matter is independ-
ent of freight rate cases now pending
in the United States Supreme Court.
Lawyers are even more puzzled
than the jurors They refuse to be-
lieve that Judge Johnson, regarded
as an. able jurist, has failed to read
the law of 1909 repeating the pen
atty clause in the 1907 law They
cannot understand what good indiet-
ments will do. The matter is parti-
cularly puzzling inasmuch as it is
known that Judge Johnson went into
the matter very carefully and even
went to st. Paul to look up data be-
fore calling the grand jury's attention
to the alleged violations
In spite of this repeal, the feeling
is general here that some indictments
will be returned late today.
Judge Johnson has been shown
statements published regarding the
repeal of the law of 1907, but has
made no comment.
Another complication in the mat
ter arises from the fact that the in
junction which prevented former At
torney General e. T. Young from en-
forcing the law in 1907 applies to
any county attorney who might try
to enforce the law today. Attorneys
will watch with interest the action
of County Attorney Thomas Mohl if
indictments are returned.
