City Officer Makes
Early Morning Arrest
Editor Of Monitor Pulled Wednesday Morning,
Charged With Riding Bike on Sidewalk,
Ordinance to be Enforced

One OF the most important arrests
made by the Glendive Police Depart
ment in many years was that of the
editor of the Monitor, when bright and
early yesterday morning, almost be
fore anybody was on the streets
Officer Les White, who said he
was acting on orders of Chief OF
Police Carl A. Kinney, arrested the
news gatherer on his way to the Mon.
ltor Office for riding his new Pope
Motobike, recently purchased from a
Glendive merchant, John S. Larimer,
on short strip of nice concrete side
walk between the Exchange State
Bank corner and the Monitor Office.
The editor of the paper-a lazy
guy who bought the bicycle just to
avoid wearing out the soles of his
Dion Brothers Crossett Shoes-ex.
planned to the officer that his only
object in taking to the sidewalk. which
at that early hour did. not contain a
single pedestrian from Merrill Ave.
to the bridge, was first, to avoid
breaking his worthless neck on ac-
count of the rocky boulders which
cover the main street from gutter to
gutter and which made a passage
across the Divide look like stroll on
grassy lawn in comparison, and Sc
cond, to get to his office in time to
give the Monitor readers all the latest
news, baseball, agricultural, and other
wise.
These excuses did not make any
kind OF a hit with the popular guar
dian of the law, who on a previous
occasion had jokingly called the edi-
tors attention to the fact that he was
riding his own wheel on about ten
feet of his owl sidewalk, and the
man was hailed into police
court, the same as any ordinary drunk,
disturber of the peace, or other male
factor of small wealth without
friends, that the officer happen to
catch in the actual infraction of a CITY
Or county ordinance.
The editor was led to believe that
several complaints had been lodged
against him, presumably by citizens,
out after being tried and fined five

BASE BALL PREMIUMS
IN MiSkIMEN'S WINDOW

Special attention is called to the big
display window of ]. H. Miskimen's
store this week in which will be seen
almost every one of the thirty-odd
base ball premiums offered by the
progressive merchants as premiums to
the Glendive players in various de-
partments of the game. The window
display is unique in many ways-in
fact it is the first display of it's kind
ever recorded in the history of this
state, and the Monitor has alreody
arranged to have Photographer R. E.
Wing take photographs of it, for dis
tribution throughout the city and (if
the Chamber of Commerce can see the
advertising value of the scheme,) also
throughout the state. It might be
mentioned that the display was not
gotten up for anyones special bene-
fit-in fact it was planned to let any
have it that had window
large enough.

FREE SERVICE IS
BLAMED. FOR Loss
"sPoTTlNG" OF CARS FOR BIG
SHIPPERS HELD TO BE CAUSE
OF DEPLETED TREASURES.

Washington. D. c., Feb. 27-Further
inquiry was begun by the Interstate
committee today on the question of
the so-called, free service" by rail
roads, including "spotting cars for
loading and unloading on private spur
and side tracks, ferry car service and
tunnel and literage service. In the
eastern classification territory where
the proposed advance of five per cent
jim railroad freight rates is proposed to
Z be- applied, there at approximately
$4,000 spur tracks and sidings. 1t is
the desire of the commission through
the hearings resumed today, to deter
, mine two things:
First, the propriety Of a charge by
the railroads, in addition to the regu-
lar freight rate to given destination
for the spotting and ferry car service,
and second, the amount Of the charge
and the manner in which it should be
assessed
Witnesses before the commission
have asserted that free service" per.
Torrance by the railroad for certain
large shippers is SO costly that If the
practice were eliminated it would sub
stantially affect the revenues Of the
roads, and possibly make unnecessary
an increase in freight rates.
The Importance and interest in the
proceedings attracted to the hearing
room of the commission several hum
dred railroad officials and shippers.
