The Mower County Transcript states
that man wanted to ship a car of
horses from Fort Morgan, Colo, and
place them on farm in Minnesota, a
few miles northwest of Otranto. The
railroad company charged $f4.S0 to
ship as far US Council Bluffs, which is
the eastern terminal of the Union Pa
citic. The rest of the way he was to
ship over the Great Western. The
rate the company charged on the car
to Lyle from Council Bluffs was $50. so.
but to Meltonville they were held down
by the Iowa law to SS4.20. and the
shipper naturally stopped at Melton
vile. In other words, on an inter-
state shipment where they had their
own sweet way without let or him
drance they charged $3.50 for the ex-
ira six miles. Is it any wonder that
the railroads are bending every ener-
gy 10 getting all control Of rates Ia

that his final proof has been rejected
at the land office. That other settlers
may see how Mr. Heacham case cor
responds to their own situation, We
give the following facts: Mr. Meachan
established residence on his claim on
March 9Th. 1910, was.ahsent from Sep
tember8. 1911, to January Z, 1872, and
was not absent besides tnat one four
months period. He offered final proof
March 18th, 1913. This gives him act
ual residence OF over 81 months. AS
W, understand the case, it is held that
all absence prior to June 9th, 1912. the
date the "Three year law" went into
effect, must be made up. Mr.. Rich
ards has appealed to the department.
Mr.. Meacham is undecided whether 10
do SO or not. Some applicants To make
proofs are about decided TO drop theii'
proceedings, others have written Con-
gresham Taylor 10 get his interpreta-

TO CALL ON HONAA
Question of Election Judges
to Be Taken Up.

Desiring to use it's best efforts to
give the Republicans representation
on the election boards at the approach
ing municipal election, the Progressive
leaders have decided to put up to
the attorney general of Indiana the
question as to whether a party which
was not one of the two parties polling
the highest number of votes at the
last election, can legally be entitled
to judge on the election boards. The
law, as interpreted, is generally taken
to mean that the Progressives can not
give the Republicans the recognition
desired, but the Progressive leaders
wish the question TO be put up to the
highest authority in the state. there
for will request that one member of
the city election commissioners go TO
Indianapolis tomorrow and seek the
opinion Of Attorney General Honan.
E. G. McMahan probably will go as the
clerk of the election commissioners.
The Republicans, il is said, also will

CITY CAR KNOCKS
LAU|ELL TO STREET II
Man Dragged For Seven Feet
Before Car Could Be
Stopped.

Tony Lawell was truck by south
bound city car 333 about O'Clock last
evening while crossing North Eighth
street, near the No. l fire station. He
was knocked down and dragged sew
eral feet, resolving a two-inch scalp
wound and many bruises on al parts of
his body.
Motorman Frank Whitton said he
saw Lawell step from the sidewalk as
the car left the stop at the corner of
Eighth and E streets. Lawell, he said
started across the street, looking in
the direction of the car when the
gong was sounded. When the car was
about thirty feet from him he stepped
on the west rail of the track. stepped
back and then stepped on again as if
to cross when the car was within a
few feet of him.
Whitton applied the brake, but was
unable to stop the car in time to
prevent il striking Lawell. Witnesses
standing at the FIRE station substanti-
ate the story told by Whitton. Lawell
was taken to the hospital, where ex-
animation showed that his injuries
were not serious.
Conductor Frank Williams had
charge of the car.
