our cooperative railroad scheme, as
outlined in the MADISONIAN several
weeks ago. At least one man in the

write concerning it. 1t is as follows:

am of the opinion that SO. GEO could be
raised further down the line, in work

the line to Gaylord. That would be an
excellent starter. Then Il railroad

COAL COMES FROM CHINA.

Sample Cargo from Tonquin-Cheap and
of Fine Quality.
China has thrown down the gauntlet
to the big coal miners Of the United
States. The American bark Colorado,
which has just arrived at San Francisco,
brought mixed sample cargo of an
thracite and manufactured coal, mined
and made in the Tonqrin district. 1t
was consigned to coal dealing firm Of
San Francisco which promises to push
the Chinese fuel on the coast market at
prices greatly below those which Penn
sylvania and Welsh coal of the same
character is now bringing. Examining
experts have pronounced the Tonquin
coal beds almost inexhaustible. The
Chinese article is in the market to stay,
it is said, at least as long as the present
tariff conditions exist.
Tonquin, since the Tonquin war, has
been under the control of the French,
and it is French capital that is now de-
veloping the mines, but the land is still
populated by Chinese as before and it is
the cheap Chinese labor that is EN-.
ployed in the mines; hence the ex-
tremely low cost of production which
enables the French owners of the Ton
quin mines to undersell the coal pro.
ducers of other countries where labor
Iis better paid. The coal from the orient
is said to be of the finest quality, fully
equal to the best Pennsylvania or Welsh
coal,

HE MAY LIVE
But Myron 3. Kent Must End His
Days in Prison.
GOV. ALLEN COMMITTEES HIS SENTENCE
Thrice Condemned to Die for Alleged
Completely in the Murder of His
Wife, He Is Sent to Prison
for Life.

Bismarck, N. d., NOV. 1S.-After prob
ably the most remarkable legal fight in
the annals of the northwest or even the
whole country, the life of NIyron Il.
Kent, thrice ordered taken for the muir
der of his wife at Mandan in March,
1894, has been spared and he will pass
the remainder of his days in the peni-
Tertiary in this city,where is also lodged
Tom Swidensky, the ignorant Bohemian
who pleaded guilty to the murder, and
accused Kent of being the promoter and
instigator of the crime. This decision
was reached by Gov. Allen Tuesday
night, after two days of exhaustive ar
eument, in which Judge w. B. McCon-
hell, M. A. Hildreth, Attorney for Kent,
and Fl. G. Voss, attorney for Morton
county, where the crime was commit
ted, participated, and to Mcconnell,
who, as trial judge in the case, appeared
before the governor and made a special
plea for the condemned man, Kent owes
the fact that he will not have to walk to
the gallows on Thursday morning.
When seen at the Jail in this city
Kent did not express surprise, but sim
ply said that truth and justice had pre-
vailed. The gallows for the hanging
had been built, and the hanging has
been the talk of the state for months.
History of the Case.
Kent was charged with numbering his
wife November 49, 1894. The history Of the
crime has no parallel in the history of
crimes in this country, and planned as the
details We're by man Of education and
ability, the country has been startled by
Its righteousness. The crime was com
mitted at Mandan, in this state, and one
Thomas Swedensky was entrapped into
the plot, and was paid large sum for
doing the act of killing. On the evening
of March II, 1894, Kent left home, telling
his wife he was going to Bismarck He
did not return, and on the night of the 18th
Swedensky, who was the hired man,
aroused Mrs. Kent in the night and told
her that he saw burglars about the house
She arose, and when standing in her own
parlor her head was severed from her
body by shotgun. After the crime the
hired man confessed, and the story told
by him is that Kent offered him $50
If he would commit the deed. During the
preliminary hearing Of Swedensky no one
had suspected Kent, and he made good
his escape. Six months after the commit
ting Of the crime Kent was captured al
Arlington, Col, and brought back to Man
dan. He was tried before Judge Winches.
ter and found guilty by a jury and SEN
fenced to death. The supreme court grant
ed new trial on the ground that the judge
refused to grant change of venue. The
case came to Cass county, and again the
jury found the man guilty, and Judge Nc.
Cornell sentenced him to hang on Novem.
