Mining of
Ignite Coal
A Movement Has Been Started Among
Nd. Commercial Clubs Far
Greater Mining Of Lignite

Owing to the fact that In the
opinion of many business men
of the state the Ignite coal fields
of the state have not been dev-
eloped as rapidly as conditions
appear to warrant, a movement
has begun among commercial
clubs of the state having for it's
object the interesting of the rail
roads in furnishing more cars
for the transportation of North
Dakota coal and also to grant
rates which will encourage a
more rapid growth of the Ignite
mining industry. A large por-
ton of the Ignite coal fields of
the state belong to the govern
ment and much of this is said to
have been withdrawn from entry
for the present, but there are
enough mines owned by private
parties and corporations, if
properly developed, to make the
industry a more important one
in the state. 1t is generally rec
ognized that Ignite coal is
cheaper for fuel that any other
coal used in the northwest.
Some of the Ignite mine owners
complain that the railroads dis
criminate in favor of the eastern
coal owners, but the rail-
roads reply that most of
the freight traffic of the north
west is eastward and conse-
quently there are numerous
empties enroute west. It is an
easy matter to give the eastern
coal preference, because the
transportation facilities are bet
ter on account of traffic condi-
tions.

Two Fires Started

An attempt was made Friday
evening to burn the home OF
Mayor Wegley and also the
home of Night Policeman, Chas.
Hanley. The shed on the Han
lev house was well under way
when Mr.. Handley happened to
go home and discover the fire.
Help was summoned and the fire
was soon put out. The same
night a FIRE was started in the
new house being built by Mayor
Wegley. Owing to the tact that
the building was new and all
the wood green the fire failed to
get a good start. In the morn
ing when the workman arrived
the fire was still smouldering.
It is stated that kerosene had
been used on the Wegley house.
The authorities have been dill
gently hunting for evidence as
to the origin of the fire but so
far have discovered nothing.

A Big Horse Deal

M. S. Williams of Minot was
in the city for several days last
week and closed a deal with J..
w. Jackson and Chas. Baldwin
for their entire bunch of horses,
some three hundred. Their
horses were on their ranch near
Nesson. Mr.. Jackson and Mr..
Williams left here Monday for
the ranch to get started at the
work Of rounding up the horses
scattered over the range.
Among the horses which Mr..
Williams purchased were a num-
ber from the famous Marcus
Daily Bitter Root Ranch in Mon
tana, one of the largest in the
world. Mr.. DAILY took great
pride in his horses and raised
principally Coal Black German
Coach horses. A number of
these horses were owned by
Jackson and Baldwin and are
among those purchased by Mr..
Williams.

Criminals.
Break Jail
Five Prisoners Held On Serious Charge
Break Jail Saturday night-No
Trace Of Missing Men

Some time during Saturday
night five Of the prisoners held
in the county Jail on serious
charges, succeeded in saving
through several of the iron bars
on one Of the windows of the
Jail and made their escape.
Their escape was not known
for some time but when discov-
cred diligent search was made.
It was without success however
and up to the present time none
of the missing men have been To-
Gated. The FIVE men who es-
capped were, Harry Spaulding.
held on charge of criminal as
sault; Joe Kallin, charged with
forgery; Albert Hobby. L. Brak-
en-, and A. A. Morton, held tor
highway robbery. The last
three men were the ones,
who with Arthur Brown, held
up the colored man near Avoca
and robbed, him. All five are
supposed to be pretty tough
characters and Sheriff Lampman
is making every effort possible
to locate the men.
It would appear from the way
these men escaped that Williams
county needs another Jail, one
better suited to the holding of
such men. Sheriff Lampman
states that it is almost impossi-
bic to hold men of this class in
this jail. The windows are al
most level with the ground and
the prisoners can get right up to
the window, there being no cor
ridor. In this way they can be
helped from the outside without
any trouble as it is an easy mat
ter to force away the wire net
ting outside the windows. When
this is pulled away saws or bars
can be handed into the prisoners
without any trouble.
