weeks ago Mr.. Caprlcious Gnash came
down from Canton and in company with
the gentleman first mentioned it was
arranged that the county committees OF
the three counties of this legislative dis.
trict should fix up a legislative commit

lslative convention. This was little
arrangement of Mr.. Burdock and Mr..
Gnash,-a little block house which they
sought to foist upon the district for the
reason that they had no voice on the
regular district committee-a bolt move
ment on the part of these Northern Pac-
tic strikers in the interests of their Bis
marck ally corruptionists. This little
dodge however has received its first and
final death blow. When the central
committee Of Clay county met last week
this proposition was brought before
them and they very properly sat down
upon it very hard. So Mr.. Burdock and
MIR. Gnash are beaten in their first at.

trict in manner that will not give them
much hope of bossing it further, for tax.

Captain Moreton Convinced by Railroad
Company Expert.
Capt. Il. Moreton, of LeMars, writes
the Sentinel of that town letter which
is published in the issue of the 10th,
giving q resume of the history of the
ill-fated coal exploration. The letter,
which is too long to reprint entire,
begins with the borlngs made by Col.
Strait for water; details the alleged
finds of coal in holes Nos. / and 2, and
then says:
"After this, owing to the skeptical feel.
ing of many, it was thought we'll to
employ another man. MIR. Maher, who
came very highly recommended by some
of the leading officials of the Chicago
and Northwestern railway company,
and q new and more perfect machine
for boring was brought into
use. With this two holes were put down
and at various depths, the last reaching
beyond 500 feet. Now in these two holes
Ignite coal was met with wholly of a
different quality and thickness to that
reported as found by Col. Strait
Then it was decided to sink shaft,
and after depth OF ninety feet had been
reached SO much water came in that two
engines, raising $4,000 gallons per hour,
failed to lower the water. It was
thought best then, before buying more
expensive machinery, to bore another
hole beside the No. 2 hole made by Col.
Strait, the one in which the five. feet coal
vein was reported, to confirm or contra.
dict the alleged finds of coal there. OF
the result of this drilling beside hole No.
| 2, Capt. Moreton writes:
lowing to the Importance of this test
took care to be present, so that when,
within ten or twenty feet of the supposed
seams would see for myself and be
personally satisfied. At 1S9 feet we
passed through black shale containing
streaks of Ignite, but no seam of any
thickness. At 208 feet we passed through
another thin seam Of Ignite. At 28S
feet, where Col. Strait reported to have
struck the five foot vein, no such scam
was struck. We drilled through sand
rock to 302 feet and never met 1t. and at
3O2 feet abandoned the search as hope.
less. was present all the time myself
aud at last gave it all up. T went home
cad at heart, but somewhat wiser, though
at loss to myself ST over $4,000 and
to my son of $4,000"
The concluding portion OF Capt More
toms letter is . defense against the
charge that the expert, Maher, was EN-.
ployed to write an uufavorable report
in order that he, Capt. Moreton, to buy
more land aud then develop the Goa
find-that is to say that Capt. Moretor
is trying to freeze out the other mem
bers Of the Manufacturers union who
have helped bear the cost Of sinking thu
shaft. Those who know that gentle
man will regret that charges have beer
} made calling for this defense OF him
self. The conclusion of the Who'll,
matter in the letter is that there is M
coal, aud only scattered streaks OF lig
mite. and that the captain 10 himself th,
! heaviest loser.
