which they are elected. He would
also make the sheriffs and deputy
sheriffs deputy game wardens.

to nearly 100000, would be distrib.
uted among the counties, in proportion
as each contributed it originally. re-
tanning only $4,000 in the state treas

ing the game protective laws.

Santa Fe officials have received no
tice. it is stated, that the steamers
plying between New York and other
Atlantic coast cities have put into ef-
feet a new freight rate, effective i'm
mediately, or in the near future
which is greatly in advance of the
old rates. These rates it is under
stood, will apply to all shipments from
cities on the Atlantic seaboard to
Galveston and other Gulf of Mexico
ports.
Heretofore merchants in this sec

saving on freight of about twelve

SUE FOR $1o,oo0,ooo.
Fifty Lawyers Present Clients Claims
Against Titanic Owners.

New York, Jan. 15-Fifty lawyers
who hope to obtain for their clients
more than $10,000,000 damages for
loss Of life and property on the
steamer Titanic were arrayed against
attorneys for the White Star line in
the United States district court to-
day.
The White Star line contends that
it's entire liability is limited under
the United States statutes to less
than 100000, the value of recov-
cred wreckage and passage money.
American claimants allege that the
line cannot claim this Limitation be-
cause it was itself responsible for
the loss of life by reason of per
sonal negligence. If their assertion
in this respect is sustained, the
t< 'mants will recover full damages.
o.. On If this claim is not upheld,
the p ton of A. L. Brougham,
represe. 200 claimants, is that
the White lines liability can
only be linn, by the provisions
of the British law, which would
compel the company to pay total
damages of about $3,O0O,0O0.

AN ALLEGED FIEND
FACES DEATH PENALTY

Salem, ILL.,, April 2S-The interest
of this entire section has been revived
in the case of Thomas Sullens and
Ernest Harrison, who a month ago
narrowly escaped lynching for their
alleged part in the attack on fourteen
year-old Dorothy Holt The case was
called in court today and it is expected
that the trial will proceed without de-
lay. The sheriff is taking extraordi-
nary precautions to prevent disorder,
as 1t has been rumored that an at
empt might be made to carry out the
postponed lynching when the two men
are brought into court for trial.

evening within a stones throw of her
home and dragged to the barn, nearly
a mile distant, from which place she
made her escape and returned home
the following morning. When the vic
tim of the attack was able to tell her
story she named Tom Sullens, a well
known character about town, as hel
assailant. Sullens was arrested and is
alleged to have confessed his guilt
pleading that he was drunk at the
time. He also declared that he hat
: kidnapped Miss Holt at the instigatior
of Ernest Harrison, who had beer
prosecuted by Judge Holt, the father
of the girl, for keeping blind tiger.
When the story became public the ex
