SUIT ON a CONTRACT
Lac la Belle Company Sued by the Munl-
sind Railway for 5000 600

Lac la Belle Company Sued by the Munl-
sing Railway for 5000, 900.
MUNIS1NG, MICH-One Of the most
important civil cases ever tried in the
upper peninsula will come up in circuit
court for Alger county next Monday. It
is suit for 100000 brought by the Mu
nising Railway company against the Lac Ia
Belle company for alleged violation OF
contract by reason Of the latter company
selling its real estate and timber holdings
without STIMULATING that the timber should
all be transported over the Munising rail-
way to Munising bay for manufacture.
The suit grows out Of a contract made
between the Lac Ia Belle company and
E. H. Scott, whose home is in Indiana, in
1895. Mr.. Scott at that time was promot
ing the development Of Munising and the
surrounding country and had plans con-
summated for the building of the Munising
railway. One Of these plans was the con-
tract referred to. The Lac la Belle COM
pany, OF which Mr.. Scott was the heaviest
stockholder, agreed to furnish the timber
and forest products from the 1000 acres
OF land which the company owned to such
persons only as would promise the trans
portation Of the same over the Munfsing
railway. The company further agreed
that in all sales OF land or timber there
should be a stipulation that "the said
Munising railway shall have exclusive OPP
portunity and right to transport such
timber" & The Munising railway was In
corporated shortly after the contract was
entered into, IN 1895, and the contract was
assigned to It by Mr. Scott.
In November, 1901, the Lac la Belle
company contracted to sell to Joseph Fl.
Berry, trustee. of Detroit, all OF the lands
and timber owned by the company for the
sum of s2125oo. The plaintiff in the suit
now alleges that this contract failed to
