Judge Huneke this morning sen.
fenced Edwin e. Boyd to the pen
itentiary for 10 years for forgery.
Boyd pleaded guilty yesterday.
Boyd, since his arrest three weeks
ago by Detective Enright Of the
Great Northern railroad, has shown
a desire to reach the penitentiary
as soon as possible and begin
serving time. He confesses to hun
dreds of forgeries on all parts of
the globe. The charge upon which
;he was convicted was the passing
of a worthless check for 500 on
Jimmy Durkin.

COAL SCARCE BUT THERE
IS PLENTY OF WOOD

Most of the fuel companies are
out Of coal today, but the wood sup
ply is reported satisfactory. Several
large coal dealers are dubious about
the future unless the Spokane & In
ternational line proves able to keep
this city and the other railroads
supplied.
There is a disturbing belief pre-
vailing that the railroads centering
in Spokane are absorbing all the
coal coming down from British Co
lumbia over the Corbin line. and
that private consumers will suffer
in consequence of corporation
greed.
Dealers depending on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific for
coal delivery are unable to guess at

when they can expect coal. Each
of these roads, unable to meet coal
traffic demands, is grabbing what it
can for its own use.
OF the coal coming in on the Cor
bin line five cars are going to the
railroads for one to private fuel
dealers. The Corbin line manage
ment says orders are booked as
they come in without regard to
where they come from, but the rail
roads are the heaviest purchasers
and get the bulk Of the fuel
hauled.
Five hundred cords of wood are
expected in over the S. F. & N. to.
night, and many transfers are
hauling wood to town.
