Four lawbreakers from Itasca county were given sentences for wrongdoing yesterday afternoon in the district court when Judge Stanton of this city imposed a sen- tence of ninety days in the county jail at Grand Rapids on each of three persons, and also sent one per- son to the reform school on an indeterminate sentence. . William Hoolihan of Grand Rap- ids, sheriff of Itasca county, and Tim Mahon, deputy, brought James Kelly, John Howard Hastings and Joseph Cherry from Grand Rapids for the purpose of pleading guilty before Judge Stanton on the charge of grand larcency in the second degree. The men had been given a hearing before the justice of peace at Deer River where they had beed bound over to the dis- trict court. They had stolen some meat at Deer River. W. A. Rossman, assistant county attorney of Itasca county, appeared before the judge and gave the re- quired information in the cases. Judge Stdnton sentenced the men to serve a term of ninety days each, in the county jail at Grand Rapids. Robert H. Phillips, charged with assualt in the second degree, was brought before the judge, who gave him a reformatory sentence.

ENTERS TERRITORY OF RIVAL Effect of Hill’s Purchase of Colorado and Southern, Chicago, Dec. 22.—The Tribune, in & news article on the acquisition of the Colorado and Southern by James J. Hill for the Burlington and the Northern Pacifie, declares it is simply another step in the long protracted contest between Harriman and Hill for supremacy in the traffic control of the West. Continuing, the article say “By securing the 2,250 miles of the Colorado and Southern system Mr. Hill has not only swelled the total of the lines controlled by him to nearly 24,000 miles, but by securing the long desired outlet to the Gulf of Mexico and completing his route from the far Northwest to Galveston he has in- vaded his rival's territory, just as Harriman has persistently strength- ened his own position by pushing out new lines into the Northwest. “The Colorado and Southern con- mects with the Burlington at Chey- enne, Wyo., and at Denver, Colo., and in order to secure a shorter and more direct route from Denver to the Northwest it would only be necessary to build the short connecting lines al- ready surveyed by the Burlington from Lyons to Cheyenne, Wyo., and from Orin Junction to Gillette or Sheridan, ‘Wyo., to a connection with the Bur- lington’s line to Billings, Mont., where it joins the Northern Pacific.” TWO THOUSAND NOW OUT New York Cab Drivers and Chauffeurs on Strike. New , York, Dec. 22.—More than 2,000 cab drivers and chauffeurs em- ployed by liveries and cab concerns are on strike, according to Edwin Gould, secretary of the Liberty Dawn association, and 1,000 more are await- ing the call of the union to join in the movement. The employers not yet affected by the strike order have been given twenty-four hours to grant the demands made by the union. Unless the action of the employers is favor- able, said Mr. Gould, the tieup of the city’s cab service will be practically complete. Foraker in Race to Stay. Columbus, O., Dec. 22.—Senator Foraker angrily denounced a story from Cleveland to the effect that he had decided to get out of the race for senator, “That is a bald misrepre- sentation,” he said, “and absolutely has no foundation in fact. The man who sent out that kind of a report knew there was no foundation in it. I am in this race to stay.” Ghe PIONEER Délivered o - your door every evening Only 40¢ per Month WANIS ONE CENT A WORD.
