WOMEN BECOME MILITANT
Voters in School Election Are En-.
ragged at Removal Proposition
And Fight


st. Peter, Mimi, July 23.-School
elections in this part of the state
passed off with the usual tranquility,
with perhaps one exception. In Dis
trict No. Is, LIE Sueur county, six
miles east of the village Of Ottawa,
equal suffrage precipitated melee,
protest being lodged against vote
cast by woman. Hostilities start
ed Immediately, the ballots being
seized and the chairman, William
Kruger, was knocked down and
trampled upon. When his friends
started to his assistance they met
physical resistance, E. w. Jones being
beaten over the head with chair and
Charles Halberg, candidate for clerk,
receiving several blows about the face.
A general fight followed, ending when
one side retired from the building.
Bitter feeling has prevailed over the
question of moving the school build
ing. The anti-removal forces appar-
emily have a. majority on the board,
but the defeated faction has retained
lawyers and will appeal to the courts.

SWING KILLS S. b. GIRL
Prolonged Twisting Of Swing Rope
Causes Fatal Attack Of st.
Vitus Dance

Sioux Falls, S. d., July 49, The
11-year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Baptiste st. Cloud, living in the Mis-
souri, river section Of Charles Mix
county, has met with a tragic death
while swinging with some playmates.
They amused themselves by twisting
the swing until the one that was in
the swing would become dizzy from
the rope untwisting. When it came
the st. Cloud girls turn they gave her
an extra good ride by twisting the
swing up as high as it would go. She
had wild ride down and it gave her
nervous system such shock that
when she jumped from the swing she
had an attack Of st. Vitus dance.
Physicians could give her no relief.
Her eyes and lips and head and hands
and legs twitched and jumped con-
tinuously and it finally became neces-
sary to tie her in order to keep her
on bed. She finally died Of exhaus-
ton, not having had any sleep for
over three weeks.

claimed:

Now the great lawyer was willing

he would teach him a little lesson in

way to ask a favor. Now you sit
down in my chair and I'll show you
how to do it properly"
The boy took the Office chair, and
his employer picked up his cap and
stepped outside. He then opened the
door softly, and, holding the cap in his
hand, said quietly to the small boy in
the big chair:
please sir, there is ball game at

In flash the boy responded:

TWENTY ESCAPE
DEATH AS HUGE
TANK GIVES WAY

Mankato, Mimi, July 3O-More than
twenty men narrowly escaped death,
one was buried for two hours beneath
tons of debris and the Patterson Mer-
camille company's four-story building
was damaged to the extent of $4,000
today, when steel water tank, con-
tanning $4,000 gallons, and weighing
fifty TONS fell through the building.
The tank crashed down while crew
of warehousemen was at work in the
store. 1t 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
mechanics were working.
One of the men, Ernest L. Skogg,
was trapped under fifteen feet of brick,
mortar and boxed goods. A crowd
that gathered heard his cries and
scores of men went to work to dig
him out.
A pipe first was driven through the
debris to him, and through it he told
the workers that he was alive. 1t took
two hours to reach him, after tot
tering wall that threatened to fall on
the rescuers was pushed over.
When taken out it was found that
both Skogg's legs were broken above
the knees. It is thought he will re-
cover.
The debris crushed North Western
freight car standing on the track load
ed with incoming merchandise, start
ing fire that necessitated calling out
the fire department.

try into five districts containing ap-
proximately $4,000 miles of railroad
each.
Mr.. McGinty explained to the COM
mittee that the estimated cost year
of each of these district organizations
with their groups of field squads would
be about 1884,, 300 or total year for
the five districts of nearly 100000.
In addition to this he estimated that
the accounting feature Of the work
would cost about $350,0O0 year and
that the maintenance Of a valuation
Office in Washington would cost prob
ably $4,000 year.
Although the committee was skepti-
cal Mr.. McGinty was confident that
the commission would be able to get
the field force organized through the
civil service commission by the first of
next year to take care of the first
years work. 1t was.for this purpose,
he said, that the commission needed
81 SOC, 900.
From So to SIS Mile
Mr.. McGinty mentioned cases where
it would cost from So to $75 mile
to ascertain the value of railroads.
t1n all Of these cases only the re-
production value Of the road was as
certained," he continued, whereas
we are required to ascertain the re-
production value, the deprecated value
and, in addition, to work out the his
tory of the roads and ascertain the
amount of money invested in their
original construction. The total cost
to the government probably will ex-
coed $50 a mile, or a total cost of
from $4,000, 900 to $15,000,O0O, but
of course, this is only a guess"

The Fly.
A Generous Judge,

Lord Blackburn was one OF the most
conscientious men that ever melted
out justice on the bench. Not long
after his appointment as a Judge he
was trying an action in which the
plaintiff sought to recover damages
for an injury that had caused him the
loss Of an eye.
The counsel for the plaintiff, dwell
ing on the seriousness of the injury
to his client, spoke of it as blighting
his career
Il have lost the sight of an eye,
Mr.. ," interposed Mr.. Justice
Blackburn, and IL has not blighted
my career"
The jury, not unaffected by the
judges remark, awarded the plaintiff
but trifiing damages.
Blackburn was conscience stricken.
He thought it over. and the next day
he sent the plaintiff a check for $3.50.
