Miss Haddorp is the daughter of Mrs. T. Lundy of Irene, S. D but hns made her homo in Fargo for the past two years with her sister, Mrs. O, I). Blair of tho IJpgan apartments.

Weokcs was charged with carrying concealed weapons nnd was held to the district court of Dakota county. .. .Booze Hound, funny name, Isn't itV But Gov. McKelvio is sure on the right track to put the boot loggers out of business and collect a nice assortment of cars of all makes nnd conditions to the exchecquer of the state, besides the fines. Tho worst part is that the state has to feed the law violators whilo they ore in jail and at present prices it will jiist about take tho fines for fodder. The fellows who hove been peddling the vile substitute for whisky in this vicinity had better take warning and quit the trado in time, and not dis grace relatives who neither approve or wish to see them get into more trouble than they caii get out of In ten years. Tho arrest of tho Nollgh men at Dakota City on Wednesday sure ought to bo wan ng that tho booze hounds mean but., uss nnd will got them sooner or Inter. Sioux City Journal, 27: The nrm of the law continues to twine itself about the person of Jim Davis, Sioux City booze runner. After a series of trials in Nebraska last week that cost him several hundreds of dollars In fines, us well us $2,000 In bonds, Davis comi' to lown this week to try his luck. It was very poor. Ho was Immediacly picked up as n fugitive from justice on information from Stanton, Neb., and was forced to put up another $1,000 in bonds to securo hja freedom. This last charge against Davis is grand larceny. Ho is alleged to have sold a stolen car to a man in Stanton. The deal took place about two weeks ago. Last week Davis was caught by Dakota City, Nob., authorities whilo trying to get through with a load of booze. He pleaded guilty to a charge of Il legal transportation and paid n fine of $100. A deputy United States marshal immediately stepped up and rearrested him on a warrant charg ing him with interstate transporta tion. Ho was taken to Winnebago f6r a hohring and was forced to so- Icuro S2.UU0ib0nus'to uain his release file"! roturnecTto Dakotn Cityr aHd was again arrested by the shcriir of Ce dar county, Neb., and taken to Ponco. There ho pleaded guilty to a chargo of bootlegging and paid another $200 fine. Detectives hinted here last night that his arrest might lead to another series of trials. o Wausa Gazette: Gazette readers will remember that when hogs and other stolen articles wero located on the Louis Miller place west of Bloom field some weeks ago, Mr. Miller gave the explanation that tho property had been brought to his placo by one Klatt, who had explained that he had bought it at different places nnd on ly asked privilego to lenvo it nt tho Miller placo for tho time being. This particular man, Klatt, had, how ever, absented himself from tho Mil ler placo and was no place to bo found.f&Authorities havo boon on tho lookout for him ever sinco and only last week ho was traced $o a farm near Homer, where it was said ho was at work. Authorities In this county notified tho village marshal at Homer and requested him to ascer tain if the man was there, Tho mar shal went out to tho farm designated and found n-fellow at work in tho field. Ho up and asked tho fellow if he was Mr. Klatt, wanted in Knox county for hog stealing. The follow laughed at the suggestion, declaring ho had never been at Uloomfield nor in Knox county. The marshal was a little perplexed and asked the fel low If ho would stay thero while ho would go bock to town and call up Knox county authorities for further information. "Sure," replied tho follow, "why should I run away? You are on tho wrong track." The mar shal went back to town, described his man to Knox county authorities nnd got instructions to hold him un til the sheriff should arrive. Then ho returned to tho field whero ho found tho team tied to tho fence, but the fellow had vamoosed. Oh, no; he was not tho right fellow- to catch n hog thief. o Sioux City Journal. 22: Quick justice was meted out in the Dako ta county, Neb., court yesterday when two booze runners wero arrested, fined nnd imnrlsoncd within a ncriod of about five hours.

The transporters were caught at tho south end or tho combination bridge early yesterday morning by State Agent A. L. Math wig, who seized 148 quortH of liquor. Their cor was confiscated. This is tho second largo seizure of whisky in Dakota county in a four-day period. Farly Sunday morning Sheriff Coin and Mathwlg raided a Jackson, Neb,, farmhouse arresting four men and seizing 430 quarts of whisky.... The sequel of a chase between a boot legger and Dixon county, Nob,, offi cers some months ago camo yester day when James Dnvis was tiiken from Dakota City to Ponca, Nob., on a chnrgo of transporting liquor. The Dixon county authorities nllego thnt DnvlB Ik tho same man who escapod from them nfter abandoning an auto mobile containing u cargo of whljky.

C. special in Sioux City Journal, 21: Secretary Boker today ruled that tho present toll charges of the Missouri River Bridge company wero not excessivo and would be ordered continued. Tho war secretary requires tho bridge company, however, t oprovldo n sink ing fund t ) rebuild the structure In event etruction or to replnco it when it i mines obsolete. Mr. Bn ker toda sent tho following ruling to ull parties to the controversy: "1 approve the recommendation of the chief of engineers in tho Missouri River Bridge company toll ense. In fixing tolls or chnrges for tho uso of any nubile utility it s neccssnry to hnve n rule which is bnsed upon a reasonable consideration of tho vnluo of the property. Clearly tho price brought by such a property at a forced sale allords no soigeuortt. it might well be too high, and thus im pose nn improper tnx upon the com munity served; or too low, and thus serve only to increase tho losses sus tained by tho owners of tho property who huvo sought to create n public service by their investment. It is not snfe to tnko tho cost ox tho prop erty, for thoicost mny well hnvo been excessive ,or , tho investment wholly Injudicldus nnd a rnto bnsed upon cost would therefore bo prohibitory. The value ,of "tho' utility, that Is to say, its physical value, if token as tho cost of tho improvement at tho time of its erection, depreciated nt the time of consideration, Js open to the objection that appears In this case, where a bridge was built for entirely different purposes, namely, railroad uses, and has become use less for thnt purpose by tho nban donment ot tho railroad project, and hail been converted to hlirhwnv-uscs. for which It .was not originally in- icnucu nnu lor wmen it is in an likelihood stronger and more expen sive than would havo been necessary wero its sole purposo the uso to which it is now devoted. jFromthcso considerations it would seem to mo thnt tho true rule is to arrlvo nt tho cost of a structure adequato to per form tho service which tho utility in question does perform, wlth,nucli allowances for depreciation as would havo occurred hod such a structuro been erected at tho tlmo this struc ture was erected In accordanco with those prudont rules of fitness nnd ndequncy which cngineora rocognize ns good prnctice. I do not seojiow it is possible to tnko cognizance in determining tho question submitted to mo of tho difficulties which hnvo grown up In tho community with re gnrd to, first, the contribution inudo by tho community to tho brldgo at tho tlmo of its original construction. This contribution was mado to on courogo tho building of tho railroad and no limitations wero Imposed by tho community at tho tlmo of its gift nnd no conditions wero attached to tho donation. This wns nn im provement vonturo by tho ocmmunl ty, hut tho reservation that tho sec retary of war should fix from tlmo to tlmo tho rntcs of toll was not in tended as a condition attached by the community to this gift, nnd au thorized tho secretory of war to throw tho cntlro burdon of tho losses. should tho venture prove unprofitable, upon tho privnto contributors for tho bonofit of the (bile. Second, tho controversy t , .ig tho Bhnreholdors und bondlvjlu i In this bridge.

Tho present, owners hnvo secured their titlo under de crees of tho courts in litigation, whero all Interested had a right to ho heard nnd to protect their interests. The fact that certain shareholders combined to purchase tho property on tonus which throw tho major part of tho loss upon n minority of share holders docs not justify tho secretary of wnr in now fixing a rnto which would transfer to tho community ns a gift tho losses of theso minority shareholders. It docs not appear from tho evidence produced thnt tho present charges aro producing nn ex cessive return upon tho fair valuo of thu structuro defined as above. I therefore confirm tho present rates, and in view of tho fact that thin utility affects tho growth nnd devel opment of tho community which it serves, it Is clonr thnt its continu- imcu ought to bo provided for and thnt tho returns from its uso ought not to bo allowed to bo absorbed nnd dissipated in distribution ot profits without providing for tho proper maintenance oi tho utility. 1 an nounce, therefore, my approval of tho prcsont rules and require that suita ble sinking funds bo established to rebuild tho structuro in tho ovont of its destruction or to replace r it when It becomes entirely obsolete. Tho order disposing of tho applica tion will muko a conditional ntflrmn- tion of tho existing rates to 'continue for u poriod of sixty days, during which timo tho owners of, tho proper ty will submit to tho secretary of wnr plnns for tho accumulation of such a sinking fund as iu herein de sired, and if said sinking funaprb visions nro approved by tho secrotury of wnr tho confirmation of existing rntcs will continue in accordanco With such approval."
