KILLS MOTHER,
FEARS BEATING
DISCHARGE OF RI
FILE CAUSES TRAGEDY ON
FARM NEAR REDFIELD.

Aberdeen, April "a. Elmer
Schiermerhorne, 13-year-old son of
a farmer living about six miles from
under Doctors care here. His faith
er is i'm an Aberdee nhospital and
his mothers body is in the estab-
lishment of Redfield undertaken,
the outcome of tragedy at the
farm house late Thursday.
After doing some chores at the
barn, with the assistance of another
son, Schiermerhorne returned to the
house from which he had been alb
sent only comparatively short time
to find his wife lying on the kitchen
floor, with the blood yelling from
a wound in her body. Elmer stood
in corner with a 22 rifle and fired
at his father when thel after opened
the door, the bullet entering the
fathers jaw and passing downward
into the spinal column.
The rifle was what Is known as q
20 short" single barrel, and as his
father fled through the door, the boy
reloaded the rifle and followed him
firing another shot, which went wild
The father called his second soF
from the barn and as the two re
turned to the house, another shot
was heard, when the door was open
ed, the boy was found wounded
having shot himself in the head.
The boy was not unconscious a.
the time, and kept repeating that his
mother was shot by accident; that he
had not intended to shoot her.
The coroner and sheriff were
summoned and the body of the wo
man and the wounded man and boy
were brought to Redfield, where ths
fathers condition was found so seri
GUS that he was taken to an Aber
deem hospital. The bullet fired b.
the boy into his own head lodged
in the lower part of the brain, ant
physicians today stated that his in
| iuries are not fatal. The father
condition is more serious, and rela
tives are postponing any arrange
ments for the funeral of Mrs. Schier
merhorne until the husbands condi
tion improves.
1t is stated here that Elmer, Will
but 13 years old, weighs about 25'
pounds and is not bright mentally
having spent four years in one grad
of the public schools. The authori
ties are inclined to believe the boy
story that his mother was accident
ally shot and thing the shock of tn
accident may have caused the bo
to lose his mind and commit tn
attack upon his father and then at
tempt suicide.

DISPUTE CLAIM
MADE BY REGA|V
STATE COMMISSION ASSER II $
FREIGHT AND TANK CAR CAR
COMPANIES PAY TAX.

Pierre, April 24.--Frank S. Re-
gan, cartoonist and tax expert with
the Flying Squadron now in Sioux
Falls in his address in Pierre. and
probably the same in other places
in the state where he has spoken,
stated that South Dakota is losing
considerable tax money because the
state has not been taxing car COM
panies operating within the state;
In his Pierre address he said that
he had called the attention of South
Dakota people to this matter in a
former visit and was sorry to see
that they had not taken advantage
to his suggestion.
Mr.. Regan is in error in this mat
ter, according to the state tax COM
mission, which has produced its
books to shoy that all the freight
car and tank car companies operat-
ing within the state have been pay
ing a tax.
The books of the tax commission
show that there are seventy-four
tank car companies, fourteen refrig-
orator car companies, one stock car
company and one poultry car COM
pany which are being taxed. being
those companies that put their roll
ing stock over the railroads of the
state.
Tank car companies, the commits
sion says, have been assessed a to-
tai of $3,707.07, refrigerator car
companies pay total of $4,530.S7
for the privilege, of running their
cars over South Dakota railroads.
The largest contributor to the state
in this sort of tax is the Union Tank
Car Co.. which is alone assessed

DECIDE TO SEND
STRIKE BALLOTS
REPAIR WORK ONTRACT SYS-
TEN Is CAUSE or TROUBLE
SHOWDOWN PREDICTED.

chicago, April Z4.-GrlevanceS
.'centering about the contract system
employed by some railroads in the
handling of repair work has resulted
in vote for distribution of strike
ballots to the 100000 members of
the railway employees department of
the American Federation of Labor.
This department comprises the six
federated shop crafts and the
switchmen's union of North Amer
ica
Authorization for the strike bal
lots was voted at the sixth biennial
convention of the department which
has been in session here two weeks
and which concluded its sessions to-
day. The vote to send out ballots
was taken yesterday and officers de-
ciared that it was a counter move to
"an effort to crush our organiza-
tion completely"
'HIf there is strike and | feel
sure our men will vote solidly for
it. ii will be in protest of the action
of railways in ignoring decisions Of
the United States railway labor
board" said b. M. Jewell, president
of the railway employees department.
'If there is a strike and | feel
sure our men will vote solidly for
it. 1t will be in protest of the action
of railways in ignoring decisions of
the United States railway labor
board" said Il. M Jewell, president
OF the railway employees department.
The labor board has pending sew
eral complaints against the contract
expected a decision would be rem
dered soon after the conclusion of
the present wage hearings.
"The carriers have arbitrarily re-
! duced wages in defiance of the
board. said Mr.. Jewell. 'They have
restored the piece work system ind
resorted to the farming out system
which is meret subterfuge by
! which they dodge labor board deci-
sions.
"A year ago, our membership
was overwhelmingly in favor of war
/ in protest against the IL per cent re-
duction already then announced and
given effect last July. When the
( date came, however, we favored
! peace because of assurances given by
/ the labor board that no further wage
/ reductions would be considered for
some time.
! But this time, / am sure, the is
! sue will come to show down. So
1 far as we are concerned, 1t is a
/ fight for existence.
Mr.. Jewell said the wording of the
strike ballots was not yet determin-
ed but that the question was simple
whether to strike or not to strike
He added that the ballots would be
sent out soon and that the result Of
the vote should be known within SO
days.
Mr.. Jewell charged that the roads
"are lodging the boards rulings
by letting out shops to contractors
who are not technically within the
jurisdiction of the labor board.
"The carriers have been getting
away with it thus far" said Mr.. Jew
ell. 1--WE are going to find ou'
whether they can continue to do so
"The board, it must be remember
ed, has no real power to enforce iti
decisions. 1t must rely solely upor
the influence of public opinion.
Il There has been a strike for som'
time on the Western Maryland rail
way against the farming out OF maii
tenance of way work.
