building, until some wise person, seeing
that he was being gradually Worn

inside the edi1ice.
The S]outhwold jack-in-armor is a
curious looking parsonage. He stands
about three feet high, and at the pres

ISSUED MANDAMUS
AGAINST TRUST
Supreme Court Is disposed to
Help Independent Grair
Dealer.
RAILROAD ALSO OPPOSED
Mr.. McComb, the Shipper Complained
Of, Being Crowded Out by an
Elevator Trust and Merci-
less Railroad.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 24.-Th issue
drawn between the farmers and indie
pendent grain shippers of Nebraska on
the one hand, and the allied railroads
and elevator trust on the other, has at
length found it's way into the supreme
court. Unde the terms of a writ OF
manGamus issued by Chief Justice Sui
Ivan against the Burlington railroad,
relief from the eXactions of a merclleSs
combine appears to be on the way.
The mandamus is issued on the
prayer and showing of c. w. McComb,
an independent grain shipper doing
business at Wilsonville, Furnas county.
Mr.. McComb has had to do business
under the same insufferable conditions
that confront practically all other in
dependent shippers in Nebraska. He
And ne has also opposed to him a rail-
road company that is working hand IN
glove with the elevator company. me
consequence is hat he has been praC-
tically excluded from the right to buy
and ship grain.
For the proper transaction of his
business Mr.. McComb needs an average
of two grain cars a day. But during
| the past two weeks he has been fur
nished, by the railroad company, with
but three ears during all that time.
During the same time the trust elevator
has been supplied With twenty-five cars
for the shipment of its grain.
When Mr.. McComb complained to the
local agent of the roa he was Informed
that he could nave but one car a week
hereafter and that the elevator would
have all it needed; that the elevator
would be taken care of. Tuesday OF
this week he asked for a car, but was
| refused, ali the available cars going tc
| the elevator. Having exhausted every
means of protecting his rights outside
| Of litigation. he has applied to the SUI
! preme court to compel the railroad
company to deal equitably with him
to treat him without discrimination.
