CITY ALLEGED TO.
Be STEALING
ITS SAND
Mayor Duis Gets Note From
an Attorney-Prosecution
is Threatened.

Just imagine 1.-THE city of Grand
Forks, whoever that is, committing
larceny. The alleged sinful act was
perpetrated last week, according to a
note which his honor, Mayor George
E. Duis, found lying on his desk in
the Office this morning. The note also
contained an implied threat that prose-
cution would follow in few days.
And thereby hangs tale.
The city of Grand Forks owns a
forty acre sand deposit near Ives. on
the Northern Pacific. This sand is
loaded aboard fiat cars and transported
here for use in the filter. About three
hundred car loads are hauled an
nually.
According to the dictum received by
the mayor those who have been load
ing the sand have taken it from terri
tory other than that which the city
owns.
The writer of the note-an attorney
also notified the city that 1t would be
held liable for all sand that has been
taken in this manner.
The only course of recovery would
be in civil action, unless the city
council, having determined that the
sand did In reality belong to private
parties, should conclude to pay for the
same in lawful currency.
A side track from the Great North
ern into the Ives pit, has been turned
over to the Northern Pacific and all
sand hauled for the city of Grand
Forks will hereafter come over the
Northern Pacific's line. The city,
through this courtesy of Jim Hill, will
be saved several hundred dollars an
nually on freights.
