Railroad Refuses to Pay.
IMPERIAL Complaint to the state
rai)wav commission has been made by
Representative Frel HotTmeister of
Imperial because the uurungton .rail
road declines to pay for a $15 heavy
wool sweater, a $20 hunting coat, a
compass and some small hunting
lcnivea, which Hoffmeister says were
stolen out of his son's trunk in transit
between Seattle and Imperial. .
The excuse given by the railroad
company for refusing settlement on
the claim is that the tariff rules on
baggage do not cover "hunting out--fits."
If such things are taken as
baggage, says a letter from I M.
"Whitehead, assistant general bag
jrage agent, they go at the owners
risk.
Charles Hoffmeister, who lost the
things, made a hunting trip to Alaska
last spring, and the effects disappear

The trunk itself was broken open in
transit and sent only as far as Lincoln,
o that the owner had to pav express
on it from Lincoln to Imperial.

build a $25 nest in the Wrightsmann
store'.

with the Wrightsman concern and
who also happens to be one of the
city dads, put $25 in bill at closinp

the next morning when he opene

A search revealed the fact that some
time during the night a mouse with
tha mother instinct as to home build
ing highly developed, had gained ac
cess to the register and had uso
the bills for a nest.
One night about a week ago a mouse
got into this same register and in somr
