He did considerable road work

UNION PACIFIC WINS
GRAND ISLAND CASE
Decision Of Nebraska Court Reversed
and Case is Sent Back for
Retrial Of Issues.
NO MIsMANAGEMEET SHOWN

ST. LOUIS, July 10.-(Special Tel
egram. THE decision of the United
States district court of Nebraska that
the Union Pacific Railroad company
acted in violation OF the Sherman
antitrust act in owning the majority
of stock In the st. Joseph & Grand
Island railway. and that It be en-
Joined from further voting the stock,
or receiving dividends on It. was re-
versed by an opinion today by Judge
Sanborn, in the United States circuit
court Of appeals.
Judge sanborns opinion was concurred
in by Judges Garland and Amidon. Judge
Amidon issued instructions TO the lower
court, that a perpetual injunction 10
prevent the st. Joseph railroad, while
dominated by the Union Pacific railroad.
from purchasing the twenty-six-mile
stretch OF road from Hastings to Glib
bon. Neb.. be deferred.
Relief on One Point.
This was the only portion Of the petition
for relief by minority stockholders In the
st. Joseph road, which was upheld by the
court. Stockholders contended the Union
Pacific organized a corporation known as
the Hastings e. Northwestern Railway
company for the express purpose of con-
structing this branch and of selling II
to the st. Joseph road when completed
and at the price OF sl,9OO,OOO.
Judge Garland did not state that the
Union Pacific had not violated the act,
but merely that the lower court was
without authority to pass on the alleged
violation.
An individual, he held. cannot raise IN
court a question Of violation OF the sher-
man act, unless he can show he has
suffered some special damage from such
violation differing from the damage Buf-
fered by the general public. This was
not done in the present case.
Alleging mismana gements Of the ST. Jo-
seph & Grand Island road as tho result
OF the control by the Union Pacific. suit
was brought in tho United State district
court Of Nebraska by Charles A. Frank
and other minority stockholders in the
st. Joseph railway The district court
sustained the contentious of Frank, in
Guiding the charge that the Union Pa
cific was violating the Sherman act by
a rival. and competing COM
mon carrier engaged In interstate com
merce.
Judge Garland In reversing the decision
of the lower court remanded the case
for retrial.
The case was heard In United States
district court in Omaha. General Attor-
ney N. II. Loomis and Edison Rich repre-
scented the Union Pacific and the minority
stockholders were represented by eastern

Bomb Placed Aboard
Minnehaha Cause of
Explosion and Fire

HALIFAX, N. g., July 10-A bomb
placed aboard the Atlantic transport liner
Minnehaha, probably while It lay at its
pier in New York. caused the explosion
and fire at sea. in the opinion OF the off,
GERS Of the steamer, which put In here
for examination today.
The explosion occurred In No hold
and was of terrific force. shaking the yes
sci from stem TO stern. Those OF the
crew who were forward at the time were
stunned by the shock and two sailors
were hurled into the air. Flames fol-
lowed and for two days and nights the
crew battled TO save the ship.
There Is no doubt in the minds OF the
officers that Erich Muenter, alias Frank
Holt. or oonfederates we're responsible for
the explosion, which occurred at 4:lb
o'clock on the afternoon of July 7, the
date upon which Muenter predicted that
some vessel, the name OF which he ap-
peared uncertain. would be destroyed
Muenter's plans were frustrated by the
fact that his weapon OF destruction was
placed with miscellaneous freight for
ward and was so separated by stout
bulkheads from an enormous cargo of
ammunition which. with other inflamma-
BILE munitions of war Intended for the
allies, filled the after holds.
While the sailors fought the fire Cap
tain claret headed for Halifax and
brought the ship safely through gale
and fog TO an anchorage here this after
noon. BY that time the flames had eaten
into No hold. but late this afternoon
It was announced that they had been ex-
tinguished.

INJURY TO S. I. CORN

tin of the Iowa weather and crop SER
vice for the week ending Oct. 4
The week was cool, cloudy and over
the northern counties showery, al.
though the rainfall was generally less
than the normal The week as a
whole was fairly favorable and .orn
made rapid progress toward maturity,
yet an average of more than 800 re-
ports shows only % per cent of the
crop safe from frost on October l..
Over the southern half of the state
probably two-thirds of the crop is safe
from injury except from hard freeze,
hut over the northern counties much
of the crop is still in the roasting ear
stage and not very far advanced in
that Many fields failed to fertilize and
nave nothing but husks and an embryo
cob.
T. Rapid progress was made during the
week in. cutting corn, filing silos. dig.
ging potatoes and blowing and much
wheat was sown. The potato crop is
not up to expectations on account of
rot and blight Grain threshed from
stack is of much better quality than
that threshed from shock.

this morning in all parts of the state,
with freezing temperatures in many
localities in central and northern coun-

Mrs. Nicols, Frank Mcfarland and
Joseph Gallagher were sitting in the
kitchen Of the Nicols home, 509h
West Seventh street, when Nicols
drew a razor from the inside pocket Of
his coat and began to push it to and
fro against his throat.
The only light in the room was that
furnished by a small lamp whose wick
was turned low. The audience of
Nicols could not see plainly what he
was doing although the razor was dis
cernible. a. a.g
I'm tired Of living, Joe," Nicols
said, as he moved the razor across his
throat again. shall finish it?'
Sure; 90 ahead" said Gallagher,
"and make good job of It,"
"All right" answered Nicols. Here
goes!" He took another slash at his
throat. His head fell to the breast.
The other three persons in the room
paid no more attention to him. They
thought that Nicols had been "kid-
ding and now that he had had his
little joke" there was no need of
further conversation.
But soon his wife, worried because
Nicols' head dropped for such a long
time, went over to his chair. Then
she screamed, for his coat and shirt
were covered with blood and stream
of it was coming from large cash in
his throat.

THINK PEOPLE ARE
GETTING SERVICE

Des Moines, Oct. 6.-The state rail-
road commission has passed on the
Algona branch line case in which pat
rons of the road have been asking for
additional train service on the North
western railroad north from Eagle
Grove and have denied the request.
Two Of the members of the board con-
cur in this opinion, Commissioners
Guiher and Wilson while Clifford
Thorne dissents from this ruling. Com
missioners Guiher and Wilson take
the position that the road is complying
with the law In giving two trains each
way per day and therefore should not
be required to put on third train.
Commissioner Thorne, however, takes
the position that another train should
be put on. He also calls attention to
the point that not only the number IS
important but the time which those
trains run is also an important one
with the patrons of the road, taking
the position that man In Kossuth
county ought to be able to reach his
county seat and return home on the
same day via this railroad If he lives
adjacent to the road.
