Paws 500 for Cows Cough.

EvELETH. Mimi, Jan. 12.-This is
the story OF COW that had cough
and a man who wouldn't cough up"
II took two lawyers to explain the in
tricacies OF the case to Judge Edward
Mailan and a jury in the municipal
court. Herman Larson sued George
Aho for $50 which, he alleged. was
the balance due on cow Larson sold
to the defendant Aho pleaded that
he had paid Larson $40 and that the
COW was dead; that she had bad
cold the day he bought her; that the
cold proved to be pneumonia and the
COW coughed herself to death. The
Jury split the difference and gave
Larson a verdict for $50.

AuSfrians Capture
Russian Leader

VIENNA, Jan. 12.--(via Wireless
to London)-One OF the most dar-
Ing exploits Of the war is summarized
by the Austrian war ONCE today. II
states that an Austrian patrol, opera
ting at an important position on the
front, succeeded in penetrating the
main lines of he Russians The patrol
pushed forward TO the residence 90
cupied by the Russian commandant,
broke In and took the officer and his
guard OF six men prisoners. The Aus
trians then successfully retraced
their steps to their own lines.
II is stated that the lighting yes
terday, was confined generally TO the
lower Nida, where the Russians tried
TO cross the low country bordering
on he-~river TO assault the Austrian
positions. The Austrian artillery had
the complete range OF the territory
and repulsed the Russians with heavy
losses.
Elsewhere the lighting is confined

DAMON WOULD

Its Use Costs Big Companies
Thousands OF Dollars
Yearly, He Says
ALSO HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR HUNTING ACCIDENTS
New Legislation Would Drive 1t
from WOOds-Grist of Bills
Awaits Legislature
From a star Correspondent.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 12.-Senator
John A. Damon, OF Mt. Pleaasnt, is
expected to father most OF the liquor
Legislation introduced in the upper
house during the present session.
Mr.. Damon informed The Times to-
day that he was preparing a bill pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor in lumber
camps and its transportation into
hunting camps located In dry" terri
tory. He declared that he intended
to submit the bill To Atty. Gen. Grant
Fellows before presenting 1t in the
senate, so as to be certain OF its con-
stitutionality before going ahead with
II.
The senator intimated that he had
other liquor legislation in mind but
refused to comment on IL at this
time.
Lumber companies have lost thou
sands of dollars because of the use
OF liquor In camps, according TO Mr..
Damon, while large number OF hunt
ing accidents each year may be traced
to the use of intoxicating beverages.
Members of the lower house are
saying little about liquor legislation.
but II is reasonably certain that bill
to curb the activities Of the Michigan
Bonding & Surety Co., will be intro
duced some time In the early portion
of the session.
The grange will attempt to obtain
the passage of law prohibiting the
sale OF liquor within five miles OF any
state institution but will fight any at
tempt TO make anything smaller than
the county the unit for local option.
The grange. however, has gone on
record as favoring the absolute pro-
hibition Of the manufacture and sale
OF cigarettes In the state, and II Is
understood that q bill to this effect
has been prepared
A heavy grist OF bills is expected
to be introduced when the legislature
reconvenes at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Probably the first thing taken up
will be the appointment OF q joint
committee on phraseology, as suggest
ed in Gov. Ferris message. There
will be little opposition TO this pro-
position, Il is believed.
Senator Robert Walter, OF Traverse
City, will also introduce resolution
providing for daily stenographic re-
port OF the proceedings of each house.
Senator Walter stood sponsor for a
similar resolution two years ago, and
II was passed by the senate but re-
jected by the house The resolution
would also prohibit the insertion OF
undelivered speeches I'm the record
and, II Is believed. would tend to com.
pei more careful consideration OF sub
iects by would-be orators OF either
house. ~
Senator Fred Woodwork will in.
troduce his bill defeated two years
ago, providing that railroads must

rate not less than an average OF 10

LANSING, Mich. Jan. l2.-(Spe.
cial. )-Receiver of the Pere Mar
quette railroad will this afternoon lay
before the Michigan legislature a
communication asking for the right
TO increase the rate Of passenger tariff
from two to two and one-half cents
per mile, from all the roads lines
lying within Michigan territory.
The petition, 1t rs expected. will be
followed by similar ones from other
railroads operating L. the state. IL
VIII set forth the claim that the pres
ent rate OF two cents per mile repre-
sents a loss TO the company and that
further economy along other direc-
tions will result in the serious impair
ment OF service II will point out that
the Pere Marquette serves 40 Michi.
gan counties and Is almost entirely
within Michigan territory. II will also
cite the increases in wages paid EN-
ployes since the two-cent rate went
into effect, and will advance the claim
that the number OF passengers carried
under the lower rate does not exceed
the number who used the road under
the higher fare.
Gov. Ferris, IL Is understood, favors
an increase in fare, provided the rail.
roads can make out case, and the
legislature will be asked to take
speedy action on the petition.
