for I'ee.
The common carriers and the city are at
loggerheads and the former have, xvlth one
exception, refused to pay the nnnual license
demanded by the municipality for tho prlv-
llfgo of running express wagons. The ex
pressmen declare they are driven from
post to pillar and have no abiding place
whero they can stand their wagons nnd
for this reason refuse to pay the license
of $10.
Under tho city ordinance rcgulfttlng the
common carriers they cannot stand their
xvagons on any street In front of a busi
ness house, except xvlth tho consent of tho
property owner, l'or over a year tho car
riers have been permitted to stand their
wagons on North Main street, but the
property owners finally complained and
they xvere ordered to vacate. They re
sisted for a time, but noxv that tho street
has been torn up for paving they have
been compelled to move. No place has
been assigned to them and they are scat
tered over tho downtown streets, moving
about from ono street to another ns the
property owners may object to them stand
ing in front of their places of business.
The carriers contend thut If they nre
forced to pay on annual license of $10 for
every xvagou they run they should bo given
some place xvhere they can stand tholr ve
hicles. They further Insist that they can
not do any business unless allowed to
stand on the downtown streets In the busi
ness center of tho city. Tho matter of a
location for tho expressmen xxas referred
to the committee on police and health by
tho city council several weeks ago, but
the committee so far hns been unable to
solve tho problem. At tho tlmo tho mat
ter xvas brought before the city council It
was suggested that tho carriers be allowed
to stand their xvagons in the hay market
at tho rear of tho city hall and police
headquarters, but the expressmen did not
take kindly to the location and Insisted
upon being allowed to stand on tho streets.
Tho llccnso Is supposed to be paid on
July 1. but up to tho present time only
one large concern has paid It. Chief of
Police Albro Is determined to bring the
matter to a head and yesterday caused tho
arrest nf John Dunn, James Jacoby and
Thomas Skinner for doing nn express
business without a license. They gave
bonds and will hnvo n hearing In police
court this morning. Theso arrests were
made. It is claimed, ns test cases, although
tho men arrested assert they have been
discriminated ngainst nnd point 'to the
fact that none of tho larger concerns have
boon molested, although they have not yet
paid tho license.

woman who Is thought to have drowned her
self nnd 3-ycar-old child In tho Missouri.
Mayor Stewart bays the bundle of clothing
found on tho river bank here answers the
description nf tbo clothing Mrs. Thomas had
with hrr at thn tlmo sbo left Moorehead.
Ho says thnt Thomas, xvho was addicted to
found in tho bundle here
Mayor Stexvnrt says further thnt Mrs.
Thomas Is believed by her neighbors and ac
qualntnnces In Moorehead to bo somewhat
unbalanced mentally. Thomas hud a brother
living In South Dakota and Mrs. Thomas,
after her husband had deserted her, said that
if sho could get to South Dakota sho could

there. Somo charitably Inclined women look
up a subscription and bought hor a tlcl'et.
but sho refused to accept, saying that to

According to Mayor Stewart tho people In
Moorehead xvho xvere nrqimlnted with Mrs.
Thomas do not believe she committed sui
cide. Their theory Is thnt she placed tho
bundlo of clothing near tho river bank, ex
pecting that tho supposed sulcldo xvould get

husband, xvho xvould malm Inquiries nnd

Unless muzzled by tho council Harden
says xvhen the hearing on the charges como

that will not show Alderman Huhrr In a
very enviable light. "I am loodod for

Mrs. Jennie Amy of Summit county,
L'tah, commenced suit in the district court
here yesterday ngainst Royal D. Amy and
other members of the Amy family to re
cover $9SS, a Judgment for xvhlch she has
secured against tho defendants In tho l'tah
courts. This Judgment represents the
costs of several actions In tho L'tah courts
Involving tho plaintiffs right to tho pos
session of certain property left by her
husband, Oscar A. Amy, and which was
vigorously disputed by them. Tho peti
tion, which Is accompanied by a transcript
of the different court proceedings In Utah,
forms an interesting story of Mrs. Jennie
Amy's long struggle to secure her rights.
It appears that Mrs. Jennie Amy xvas
married In 1875 to Hlllott llutterworth,
but secured a divorce from hltn In the Utah
courts In 1879. Duttorxvorth married again
one year later and In 1SS6 tho plaintiff
married Oscar A. Amy. Her husband,
Oscar A. Amy, was the son of a Mrs. La-
vlnla Smith, xvho died Intestate, leaving a
daughter by a former marriage. This
daughter died Intestate, leaving Oscar A.
Amy, her half brother, sole holr to all tho
property of their mother. On Oscar Amy's
death. Adele Young. Ccdfilla Young nnd
Dclecta Muson, maternal aunts of Amy,
brought nn action In the court In Summltt
county, L'tah, asking that the cstato be
distributed. Royal D. Amy of this city
and other members of tho Amy family,
brothers and sisters of the half-blood of
Oscar Alny, brought a similar suit. The
court found that tho maternal aunts xvere
tho solo heirs of Oscnr Amy: that Mrs.
Jcnnlo Amy xvas not tho xvlfo of Oscnr
Amy and had no claim to tho property; that
Royal D. Amy nnd tho other half-blood
brothers nnd sisters, xvcro likewise not
heirs to the property. This xvns In 1S9).
four years after Oscar Amy's death. The
case xvas taken to the stntc supremo court,
which uphold tho lower court nnd then
Mrs. Jennie Amy took It to the United
States court, xvhlch recognized hor as the
lawful xvlfo of Oscar Amy and declared
her tho laxvful heir to the property, nt
the samo tlmo giving her Judgment for
tho costs of tho several actions. It Is
this Judgment xvhlch sho now seeks to re
cover In tho courts here.
