Wants to use North Dakota Coal.

G. j.. Hyde in Dickey County Leader:
We have been trying carload of North
Dakota Ignite in the mill the past week,
and it works first rate. We cannot afford
to use any more of it, however. if we have
to pay the Milwaukee railroad company as
much on future shipments from Edgcley
as this car cost us. l suppose the scheme
is to keep out native fuel and compel us to
use Illinois coal, and that's just what we
will have to do unless cheaper freight
rates can be obtained, as this lot cost us
scents more per ton than Illinois coal, and
of course no one will pretend that it is as
good. believe it would be a'spendid fuel
for house use, as there is no smoke or SCOT,
and it can also be used nicely in the engine
after the fireman once becomes used to it.
The car contained about seventeen tons of
the Ignite, and the charge from Edgeley
to acknowledgements miles-was $2414
You can easily see a great injustice
here and the attention of the railroad COM
missionerS should be called to it.

SOMETHING of novelty in the way OF
getting facts before jury has arisen in
the case Of Glaspell VS.. the Northern Pa
cifo Railroad company, now on trial be-
fore the United States court at Fargo.
The quality of some land sold by the
company is the bone of contention, and,
as some of the testimony was very con.
ficting, the jury was taken out to Wells
county for personal inspection. The
round trip is about 300 miles and the los
ing party in the action foots the bills.
The only other case of the kind in Dako-
ia was the Menoken homicide case, tried
in Bismarck before Judge Francis some
years ago, and under his direction the
jury viewed the scene of the killing.
