Among the offenders huddled in the

"Why did you strike this man?"

'Well, your honor" said the grocer,

RAIL WAYS HAVE
LABOR RPR0DL.EMS

The only factor which will prevent
railroad building in this section from
forging rapidly ahead at this time will
be the difficulty tn secure labor. The
negro labor which the Milwaukee has
been using in its maintenance work on
the northern Montana division this
spring end summer started out we'll
enough, but it seems that most CT these
gentlemen of color are satisfied to
work until they have small amount
due them, then they cult in orier to
spend it in leisure. Nethtng can in
duce them to 60 back to work as long
as they have two coins to jingle in
their pockets.
White laborers stay on the Job bet
ter, it is true, but such labor is hard
to procure i'll the first place. Tho
manufacture of munitions in the cast
is one big cause, then having, har-
vesting, almost everything, seems to
be preferred to railroad building by
aEailable white labor, although the
railroads have offered good prices.
The war, Of course, has taken most of
the foreiEn labor. On, which the rail.
roads formerly depended.

Probably fifty persons were still
waiting for it. Orpet, who had ta.en
his evening meal, was sent for in his
cell. Judge Donnelly, a cripple, who
had been seated in a chair on the
court house lawn chatting with the
lawyers. made his way painfully up-
stairs on a crutch.
The defendant, as usual, was seated
between his mother and Mrs. Edwin

the jury filed in. Only one sound
broke the stiffness with which, for a
few seconds, the verdict was received.
1t came from woman about so
years of age. dressed in black, who
had attended every session of the
court She made an inarticulate
sound something between a sob and
a shriek. She has never explained her
interest in the case except to say

Orpet was silent through excess OF
emotion. He was barely able to re

Arrest Game Warden
For Violating Laws
Heis Hired to Enforce

{. D. Hayden Is the deputy game
warden for the state of Nebraska at
Curtis. Part of game warden's
duties is to see that disciples of Ike
Walton do not pursue the finny tribe
without first contributing to the state
treasury for a license.
But John Holmes, game warden at
Lincoln, made a visit TO Curtis the
other day and decided that all was
not as it should be. As result of a
little investigation, Holmes arrested
Hayden, Q. L. Carmichael, George
Wacholtz and Jesse Cronk on a
charge of fishing without license.
Each was fined $40 and costs. Holmes
declares complaint was made to him
at Curtis that Hayden overlooked the
license necessity if the nimrods were
generous enough to give their friends
some OF the fish they caught.

In charge of the Weeks headquarters
at the Chicago convention.
There is no question in my mind
says Mr.. Grimes. but that the repub-
leans will elect the president in 1916
and that the republicans and progress
siyes are going to work harmoni'
ously, because all are anxious for a
change in national affairs and want
the country again under republican
administration. .....

one of the main issues as well as
President Wilson's deficiency in
handling foreign affairs. am con-
fident It will be regular landslide

Asked as to prospects OF the differ

will be selected who will unite all
elements. believe the delegates will
have the best interests of the party
