Trio Arrested for
Destruction / rees

Howard Olson, Arnold Duerr and
Otto kirsch were arrested Thursday
of this week and brought before
Judge d. j. Prindiville charged with
maliciously cutting down and de-
stroying ornamental. shade trees on
the property of A. F. Feeney of
Claire City. They waived hearing and
were bound over to the next term OF
court.
The same dav Howard Olson made
complaint before Judge d. J. Prindi-
Vile alleging that Edith Feeney at
tackled him and threatened his life,
and asking that she be arrested and
to give security to keep the
peace.
The facts leading up the the fore
going arrest as we understand them
ARE as follows:

AS though in answer to these COM
plafnts,' Thomas Dewitt Cuyler,
chairman Of the Association of Rail-
way Executives, declared that there
was no immediate prospect of gem

The roads are not yet earning the 6
per cent guaranteed them by Con-
gress, and until it is realized, Cuyler
declared, the public must bear its
burdens with as much patience as It
can command.
Cuyler expressed the belief that
the railroads have turned the cor

this year Of about per cent. The
railroad industry can not grow until

who invest their money in It." Guy

Bismarck, N. D.. August 23.-Sen-

at Gates hall, south Of here yester-
day. :

with Charles Velie. one Of Ameri-

in his address charged that I. v. A.
headquarters were not telling the
people the truth neither as to the
origin nor as to the amount of funds
they are spending in the recall cam

"Our people have been trying to
find out" said the governor, "where

Western farmers are preparing to
burn their corn for fuel this winter
instead of buying coal, they told the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
its investigation OF freight rates on
grain and hay. Freight rates on coal
are prohibitive, they said, md at the
same time they have practically de-
stroyed the agricultural industry.
Every witness that appeared be-
fore the commission pictured the
plight Of farmers and invariably laid
the blame to freight rates. Ruin is
widespread and growers are discour-
aged to the point where they will
abandon saeir farms unless relief is
given them.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
stated that freight rates have vir-
tually stopped production. and he
predicted that IL they are continued
production in the future is going to
be greatly curtailed.
It was stated that It will take Ave
years to restore to productiveness

alibi. Tom would have the people be
lieve that the recall election would
be irregular and illegal because the
legislature failed to provide an an
propriati0n for the publicity pamph.
cet and thus prevented its use in the
campaign. "If the Leaguers are de-
feated in the election they can bring
an action in court and it would un
doubtedly be held illegal" opines
Tom, or something along that line
anyway.
But. being so desperately in need
Of excuses, the I. v. A. bosses did
not stop with Halls suggestion.
Somebody else, name not given, ap-
pears to have almost convinced the
l. v. A. bosses that it would be of no
use to file any petitions and call the
election. They now declare the
Leaguers, can and will prevent even
the holding of the election.
According to announcement by
the Fargo Forum Saturday evening
this is the way this is going to be
done:
Forum Also Has Alibi
Attorney General Lemke and
Commissioner Hagan are to resign
soon and Governor Frazier will ther
fill their positions with some other
good Leaguers. Then Governor Fra
zier will resign and under the law
Lieutenant Governor Wood will be-
come governor. The League woule
thus be in full control of the indus
trial commission and the state gov
ernment but the men against whom
the recall election had been called
having gone out of Office, no such
election could be held.

females and herd bull. This makes
the second lot of Holsteins that Mr..
Lien has shipped in. Last year he
purchased some cows from near

the only way to make out on the
farming game is to get into corn,
hogs and cows. That combination
never fails. Roberts County is fast
becoming dairy center. We predict
that some day it will be a close rival
to some Of the rich dairy centers Of
Wisconsin and Minnesota. The pres

Friday morning when he came In

ployed as waitress. His sroans were
heard by DR.. Richels. who hastened
to investigate. When he reached the
where he had grasped the wire in his
child he found him unconscious
whore he had grasped the wire In his
play. He was taken to the Powell
hospital. where he regained con-
sciousness about twelve hours later.
and at the present time Is setting
elong nicely. No one had been cog
nixant Of the live wire which had
occurred IN this way. A barn. which
stood by the alley had been moved
several weeks ago, necessitatins the
cutting Of the light wires which con-
nected It with the rooms above tho

result of heart failure.
Mr.. Reeves has resided on the
Tony Nigg farm, near Browns VAL
ley for the past three years, and
Tuesday. while doing his chores
about the barn preparatory to go

serious nature that he expired We'd

result of reading only such newspa-
pers as the Minneapolis Journal and
Tribune, the st. Paul Pioneer Press
and other reactionary newspapers
which last November played up the
fact that O'Connor was leading on
the first returns but either gave lit
tie space or said nothing whatever
about the final lead Of the League
candidates.
Some one had evidently told Velie

on the train and so he must have
jumped to the conclusion that he was
talking to O'Connor. the anti
League candidate for governor.

and when they returned they found
that employers had taken on men at
