Louis Ross, a colored man well known in this city, lost two fingers| on his left hand, Christmas, as a re-| sult of a fall while scuffling. | Ross has been working in the camps of Olson & Gorden near Shev-| lin, where that firm is cutting timber this winter. Yesterday, Mr. Olson took a keg of beer out tn the camps, and the | lumberjacks indulged quite freely in the “amber fluid”. They got to| scuffling and wrestling, and while | Ross was in a particularly strenuous | bout, he slipped and fell, his left hand striking on the blade of an axe and entirely severing the third ,and fourth fingers of his hand. Ross came to Bemidji and Dr. Shannon dressed the injured member for him. Ross was in the city today and it is possible that he may be a county charge until his injured hand heals sufficiently to permit his going to work.

Persians Will Insist on Shah Carrying Out Promises. Teheran, Persia, Dec. { i.—Twenty- four hours’ reflection seems to have convinced that faction of the Persian public which favors the Constitution- alists that it is better to keep their | powder dry until the shah’s promises of reform are converted into acts. The utter lack of confidence was evidenced in the bazaars, where the shops that were reopened had their shutters up again. Small armed crowds are reassem- bling in the public squares, but up to the present time there has been no aggression. One of the chief legal ad- visers of rariiament was shot at by some soldiers, but he was not hurt. DUEL FATAL TO THREE. Two Men Dead and the Third Is Dying. Charlotte, N. C, Dec. 2.—S.

Attor- neys for the Typothetae, an associa- tion of employers, claimed that a for- mal contract had been entered into be- tween that organization and the Press- men’s union for the inauguration of the eight-hour day on Jan. 1, 1909, and that any attempt to hasten that date was a ccntravention of that contract. On the other hand, attorneys for the pressmen maintained that the con- tract referred to had never been reg- ularly ratified by the convention of the vnion aud was therefore not valid. During the past four days evidence has been presented by officials and { members. of the union covering the points mentioned. Several weeks ago a temporary injunction was issued, but the arguments just conclnded covered the matter of a permanent in- junction and various points not here- tofore decided. VOTES TO BAR LIQUOR. Ohio Town Thereby Secures Gift of $200,000. Hudson, O., Dec. 2 —Because 4 gift of $200,000, conditionally made by J. W. Ellsworth, a New York million- aire, which promises to make this | town a model village provided that the sale of liguor ceases before the money is paid over, Hudson voted out saloons by a vote of 266 to 188. The town’s sentiment is overwhelmingly “wet,” but the chance to get munic- ipal light and gas plants, with a sew- age disposal plant and the remodeling of the old Western Reserve college at a cost of $100,000, overcame the sa- loon sentiment. The “drys” give all the credit to Ellsworth, who offered to permit the sale of beer. No law be- ing found to exempt beer selling from the operation of an ouster vote the amber beverage was sacrified as well. SEVENTY-FOUR IN A HEAP Mine Searchers Reach Bodies of Many Victims.

Perhaps one-third of the breweries, the largest ones, in this city do ther own malting. The smaller ones buy of the malthouses. Both brewerie and malsters for several weeks have been bidding almost to the point of wiping out the margin of profit in or- der to get the few carloads of barley that arrive in this market each day. “We are not making a dollar under the present conditions,” said Mr. Ort- seifen. “As a business man I can foresee only an increase in the price. As for the dther brewers I don’t see how they either can avoid a raise. It is a fact well known to the trade that hundreds of the smaller saloons are| not making much, if any, money and I predict that 1,000 saloons will. have closed their doors and gone out of business by May 1 next.” TO FIX RATE FOR CARS.
