Railroads to Make Fight on Pension Law Prepare to Ask Injunction Against the Operation cf Law Within the Next Few Days. Suit will be filed in the next few days in the District of Columbia su preme court by attorneys represent ing 150 lines of railroads in the United States. The action will be to seek injunction to prevent the en forcing of the recent law passed by congress relative to the pensioning of the railroad employees at certain ages or term of service. The committee of general coun sel of railroads headed by R. V. Fletcher, general counsel for the As sociation of Oailway Executives, will file the action, asking the court to enjoin the beard from attempting to collect assessments against the rail roads and their employes and to de clare the law unconstitutional on three points. Say Constitution Violated. The committee Includes Jacob Aronson of the New York Central railroad, S. R. Prince of the South ern railway, E. S. Jouett of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, E. E. Mclnnis of the Atchison, Toledo & Santa Fe and the B. F. Lyons of the Northern Pacific. The statute, which provides for assessing employes of all railroads 2 per cent of their pay and railroads 4 per cent of pay rolls, will be at tacked, it was said, on the ground that it violates the commerce clause of the constitution under which con gress gets its power to regulate in terstate commerce. It also will be called violative of the Fifth amend ment of the constitution, which pro hibits taking property without due process of law. Deny Classification. The petition to be presented to the court will contend that many thou sands of employes who would be af fected by the lav are not engaged in interstate commerce. Among these, it was said, are clerical forces of the railroads, attorneys, doctors, as well as the heads of railroad labor unions and employes of the retirement board itself. The violation of the Fifth amend ment, the action is expected to argue, would come through assessing rail roads and their employes for the benefit of other carriers and work ers.

DUTIES OF OFFICE PRE VENT VISITING AROUND Sheriff Homer Sylvester, In conver sation with the Journal man a few days ago, stated that much as he would like to get about and attend the picnics and band concerts over the county, meeting the voters and campaigning for his re-nomination, he is finding it almost impossible to do so, on account of official duties claiming his attention. Homer is not one who will shirk hi3 duties, and his active campaigning has been largely limited to calling on his friends in this or that part of the county while there on business connected with his office, and trusting to their loyalty to boost for his nomination. He does want the world to know, however, that he will appreciate each and every vote given him. FUNERL OF MISS HEEL Thursday afternoon at the Sattler funeral home was held the last serv ices for Miss Anna Heil, whose pass ing on Monday brought a great deal of sorrow to the large circle of friends in this county.

Changed Street Lighting The light wires for the street light ing system in Murdock were placed in conduit and buried in underground trenches during the past week, thus doing away with danger of contact with the wires and possible death of anyone from electrocuition. A force of linemen from Omaha, together with a number of local laborers were kept busy for a week making the change. This also does away with a string of unsightly wires up and down Main street and elsewhere about the town. Injured hy Family Cow When August Reicke went to milk the family cow, which has a rough neck reputation, there was trouble.

Lee gave temporary treatment and had the patient taken to Omaha to a hospital, where the leg was set and the injuries dressed. Mr. Reicke re mained there for a few days before returning home.
