This article is intended to outline the
position taken by those who oppose grant

near future:
Fully nine-tenths OF the Americans and
Europeans who have personal knowledge
of the Philippine problem are against in

Beaudette Claims Railway Company
Should Pay for Fire Losses of
1910-Move of Defense. .

Bemidji.-Sarah E. Orr, Beau
dette storekeeper, demands $174,000
for herself and eighteen others from
the Canadian Northern Railway COM
pany for damages alleged to have
been caused by the fire which de-
stroyed Beaudette and Spooner in Oc-
tober, 1910
All of the persons associated with
Mrs. Orr in her demand for damages
had property in Beaudette at the
time of the conflagration and it is
this that is involved in the present
proceedings.
1t is alleged by Mrs. Orr that the
railroad company was responsible for
the fire and therefore should pay for
property consumed.
The first move on the part of the
defense was to request Judge. c. w.
Stanton of the district court here to
issue an order transferring the dam
age suit to the federal court. The
request was denied The defense now
has made it's second move which is,

Left Undisturbed.

International Falls.-The petition of
R. S. Mcdonald for the vacation of
First street from Second avenue to
the river was turned down by unani-
nous vote of the council. The mo-
ton to reject was made by Alderman
Iltis.
This move unquestionably disposes
ef the petition to recall Alderman Iltis.
The petition to vacate was presented
to the council in July and was adopted.
Iltis voted in favor of it. The closing
of the street was favored by the
Backus interests, more dockage space
being needed
After the councils action the voters
of the fourth ward circulated a petit
ton for Iltis' recall on the ground that
if the street were closed, half of In
ternational Falls river frontage would
be given over to corporate interests.
The necessary number of signers was
secured, but the recall petition was
not filed with the city clerk, as it was
understood Iltis would move to re.

POSSE SHOOTS TWO MEN
Pitched Battle on Highway Follows
Alleged Attack on
Marshal.

Waconla.-A posse, summoned by
Marshal Edward Radde of this place,
fought a battle with two men two
miles east of Waconia. The encounter
was the sequel of an attempt to shoot
the officer. Both strangers were
wounded. They were taken to the
village lookup and later to the county
Jail Of Carver county at Chaska. They
gave their names as Albert and
George Johnson.
Albert Johnson was the man who
shot at Marshal Radde. The marshal,
unarmed, was running to cover be.
hind building in the village streets,
when he tripped and fell just as the
man fired shotgun, the charge, said
to have been slugs, passing harmless
ly over his body.
The Johnsons, it is said, travel in
gypsy fashion, with a wagon and
tent, pitching camp wherever they
desire. About a month ago they
stopped at Waconia and made them
selves obnoxious to the villagers. The
marshal ordered them away and told
them not to come back. At that time,
1t is said, the men made threats
against Radde. When the marshal
saw the same men in Waconia yes
terday he again ordered them from
the village.
The men went to their wagon and
each returned with a shotgun. The
marshal started for cover when one
man fired. The fall saved Radde'a
life. Louis Zeman, clerk in the Wa
coma drug store; witnessed the af-
fair. After the shot had been fired
at Radde, Zeman thought he could
seize and hold the man who fired it,
but when he started toward him he
found himself covered by a shotgun
in the hands of the other man. Few
of the residents of Waconia were III
the village because of a picnic.
The strangers made tracks for their
wagon, whipped up their horses and
drove away. Marshal Radde obtained
a posse, consisting of his brother
Fred, Frank Harvey, Peter Weinzierl
and Walter Kusserow, all of them
armed, and started after the fugitives
in an automobile.
The fleeing men were overtaken two
miles out. A dozen or fifteen shots
were exchanged and both men were
wounded.
The man styling himself George
Johnson was shot in the back and
leg. The other man was wounded in
the arm Neither is thOupht tO he
