Minnie Extra Injured on
Electric Line Asks $4,000
From Company in Court.
RECORD SUIT FOR INJURY

One of the largest demands for dam
ages for personal injury ever made in
Kenosha county, is contained in suit
brought against w o. johnson as re-
ceiver of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway Company by Minnie
Extra, a ten year old Kenosha girl.
The summons and complaint in the suit
was filed in the circuit court today by
Attorney James E. Tully of Kenosha,
who with Attorney Henry R. Rathbone
of Chicago, appears for the plaintiff
Little Minnie Extra is a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph Extra, who re-
side on the west side of the city and
the little girl was crippled for life on
the evening of May 18th Of this year
when she had her foot caught in the
Salem avenue crossing of the electric
line. She demands damages in the
amount of $4,000 and her attorneys
declare that the demand is moderate
one considering the conditions under
which the little girl was injured.
In the complaint it is alleged that
the injury of the little girl was directly
due to the negligence of the agents of
the company in handling the car
which struck the child 1t declares
that the company had failed to main
tain the crossings of the line as de-
manded by law and that the cars were
being operated at a speed in excess of
the speed named in the ordinances of
the city of Kenosha and that the com
pany had provided no fender or other
safety device on the car.
The accident on which the demands
for damages are based happened just
after four clock on the afternoon of
May 18th last, The little child plain
tiff was on her way from school and
in crossing the tracks of the company
on Salem avenue it is alleged that her
left foot was caught between the rail
and a loose board in the crossing. The
little girl signalled frantically to the
man in charge Of the car but the car
ran her down and her foot was so ter
i1c1S CIuoI5u tHdt IL was H6C6SSdIy TO
amputate it at the ankle. After the
accident it was declared that the men
IN charge of the car believed that the
little girl was fooling' On days
following the accident District Attor-
ney made an effort to criminally prose
cute the motorman in charge of the car
but efforts to arrest him and bring him
to Kenosha for trial were blocked by
the officials of the company.
In order to make it possible for the
little girl to appear as a plaintiff in
court in the action against the com
pany her father, Rudolph Extra, has
been named as her guardian ad Item
IN the county court.
The attorneys for the little girl adj
nit that the company has made offers
Of liberal settlement of the claim for
damages, but they claim that the
amount offered is not sufficient to com
pensate the little girl for her injuries.
The suit is scheduled to come up for
trial at the next term of the circuit
court, but it is possible that settle
ment out of court may be reached by
that time. The case is the first to be
brought by James E. Tully, the young
est member of the Kenosha bar.

La Toilette Begins
Fight to Eliminate Cover
nor From Political Life.
HIGH TAXES UP TO GOVERNOR

Kenosha people interested in state
politics took the first real interest in
the campaign this morning when scores
of copies of the La Toilette Magazine
reached the city. These papers brought
evidence of the open break between
Senator La Toilette and Governor Nc
Govern. La Toilette has started to carry
out his threat to get the political hide
of McGovern and in an editorial on the
first page of the weekly issue Of the
senator's magazine McGovern is made
the goat for all the sins of progress
sive government during the past two
years.
It is expected that the publication
will bring open warfare between the
forces of Mr.. McGoyernr and the junior
senator and the fight is promised to be
one of the hottest ever known in a. po-
litical warfare in Wisconsin The
break has been expected for months as
at the time of the last election when
McGovern refused to act as dictated by
La Toilette it was declared that when
the time came plans would be made for
his political slaughter.
The editorial, which has started the
battle, is as follows:
The American people as a body,
whether in Wisconsin or elsewhere, do
not complain without cause. They do
not always protest, even when there is
crying need for protest,
Reason for Complaint.
There is complaint Of high taxes in
Wisconsin this year. There is reason
for it.
sThe annual appropriations for univer-
sity and normal school buildings were
excessive.
The appropriations for highways were
much beyond the amount which can be
wisely and economically expended.
These appropriations doubtless car
ried with them others which are justly
open to criticism.
Such course begets waste and loose
ness in administration.
Tt is no excuse to say that it is not
graft, that no dishonesty is charged;
that the money was appropriated for
worthy purposes.
Those who conduct government as
sumo grave responsibility. The appro-
priation and expenditure of the people IS
money is the execution of a public
trust.
The leadership of state government
in Wisconsin carries with it another
and a peculiar obligation. Like torch
in the darkness, for more than decade,
Wisconsin has lighted the way to real
government where, year
by year we are realizing higher and
higher ideals Of service and furnishing
an example which every state in the
union is seeking to emulate. To permit
even a passing cloud to fall across the
pathway of Wisconsin Is progress, to
dim her glory even for moment of
time, is a thing never to be forgiven
by the sons and daughters of that proud
state.

No Excuse, He Says.

There is no excuse or justification for
this condition. Some increase in the ex-
pense of government may be expected
with the growth of state institutions
and the higher cost of thoroughly eff
feetive administration of government.
But that added cost should always be
met out of the steadily increasing rev
enues derived from corporations.
It should never again be found neces-
sary to levy a state tax for general
state purposes in Wisconsin.
With all that may tie said in just
criticism of the high tax rate of the
present year. the great body o. con-

Governor Is Blamed.

And upon whom should fall the re-
sponsibility of this wrong to a great
cause am a great commonwealth?
The executive Office is the clearing
house on appropriations. There is. To-
cused detailed information on all 1egis-
lation pending and passed, there the ap
preparation sare listed, there the aggre-
gates are known. And there is lodged
the final power in one hand to insure
the passage of an appropriation or to
smite it with veto, that makes an end
of it. There are no associates to be
argued with or convinced There stands
the executive under the constitution, q
veritable colossus, with a strength the
equal of two-thirds of all the members
of both the assembly and the s9nate
combined. When he says, This is an
unjust tax upon the people; / can not
approve it, or The aggregate of these
appropriations will compel the levy of
state tax and is greater than war
ranted at this time; I return the bill
without executive approval for your
further consideration, then the bill is
dead as julius Caesar. The legislator
represents local interests. He may find
at least a plausible excuse for an APP
preparation in which his particular con
stituency rescues an advantage. But
the executive represents the whole
state, and for that reason he is clothed
with constitutional power over legis-
islation nearly a hundred fold greater
than that of single legislator. Hence
upon the executive rests the largest
measure of responsibility for the tax
burden of which the people of Wiscon-

fall and winter stock for the suit and

II spent plenty Of time looking
around" Mr.. Ellison said, land am
certain that I got the best selection
the Fair has ever carried.
There is no use denying the fact
that all merchandise is little high
er, whether it comes from this
country or across the water. The
American mills are taxed to the ut
most trying to meet the demands. All
stores were low in stock and with
prospects for good business, they are
buying much heavier. Besides, many
Of the better materials, such as the
finest broadcloths, come from Europe.
After these materials are disposed Of,
no more can be gotten. The finest
laces and embroideries are imported.
The price on these has advanced from
25 to SO 1-3 per cent"
Mr.. Ellison selected large stock
and believes he will be able to take
care Of the customers well during the
coming season.

Walter Bond has returned from a

Alberta. Mr.. Bond says that condi-
tions are very critical in southern Al
berta from the drouth. Thousands Of
farmers are getting out of the country
the best way they can. Some are
shipping their effects and others are
leaving with covered wagons. Most
of them are coming back to the States,
having learned very dear lesson.
They did not raise enough feed for
their stock and have gotten rid of it
at q sacrifice.
Mr.. Bond says the Canadians are
excited over the war. At Edmonton
bulletins are posted and they are al
ways favorable to the allied forces.
If German opens his mouth, half a
dozen husky Englishmen pounce upon
him, beat him, and he usually winds up
in the calaboose. Many Germans are
leaving Canada and others remaining
have learned to keep very quiet.

Miss Katherine Devereaux Blake,
one u the most prominent Woman's

Friday night.
Miss Blake, who is superintendent
Of one Of the New York city schools,
with 14OO pupils under her charge, has
been spending the summer in Montana
and this state for the suffrage cause.
In cities where speaking is allowed on
the streets, she holds outdoor meet
ings. Her arguments are most con-
vincing and she brot out some brand
new ideas to Minot.
Miss Blake is anxious for suffrage
to win in this state for upon the vic
tory in North Dakota and six other
states where the question will be vot-
ed upon this fall, will depend largely
the success Of the movement in New
York and other states.
She stated that out here in North
Dakota, it does not make SO much diff
ference whether women vote as it does

FIRMITIES OF OLD AGE.

Justin Lee Miller, Familiarity known
as John Miller, for years landlord Of

from old age and diseases resulting
from hardships and exposures which
he underwent in the service of his

meritorious conduct.

slant it was not known that man
was on the speeder. They applied the
emergency, but the long train could
not be slowed down quickly enough.
The speeder was tossed for several
rods and nearly every bone in Mr..
Sundvalls body was broken. The
right leg was cut of below the knee.
Death must have been instantaneous.
The train was brot to a stand and
the remains picked up and placed in
the express car, then carried to this
city, where they were me. BY Coroner

Mr.. Sandvall had resided in this city
for five years and was one Of the best
forestcrs in the state. He had charge
Of the big G. N. nursery during this
period. Many friends sincerely re
greet that the sad tragedy occurred.
Mr.. Sundvall left Minot just before
noon, telephoning to the foreman at
the nursery, B. B. Mouck, that he
would be out for dinner. When in q
hurry, he often placed his speeder on
the 500 track as the line runs directly
thru the nursery property and within
