Inspection Fraud

fragrant cases reported, the first was
J. J. Sweeney, of Ardoch, N. D.,
who's stock was inspected at both
Grand Forks and Williston, and Ed
Egan's car from Oseco, Mimi, in
spected at ST. Paul, by A. Bolton and
at Williston by R. E. Kreger. and
total sum Of $1,000 for inspection
charged and collected through the
railroad. Both of these men can stand
being robbed better than the average
emigrant, but it does not lessen the
crime Of the human buzzard at Willis
ton that boards the emigrant car and
charges double price for second inspec-
tion, and makes the railroad collect
