CASE TRANSFERRED
TO WARD COUNTY

Judge Leighton today signed an or.
der giving Public Administrator HOY.
ey letters Of administration in the
John Sjodin case. It will be remem
bered that about q year ago. John sJo.
din, a Kenmare farmer, was injured
while driving in Mountrail county to
inspect some land. He was taken to
Stanley, where after submitting to
an emergency operation by DR.. E. M.
Trainor, he died. The morning after
his death, Trainor filed a petition for
letters of administration In the case,
and this was granted by the Noun
trail county court. Judge Leighton
decides, however, that Mountrail
county has no jurisdiction in the af.
fair.
The case was brot against the ad-
ministrator, B. W. Taylor, whose at
torney was H. ]. Linde. The Sjodin
estate is worth $4,000 and the sole
heir, a son, resides in Sweden.
DR.. Trainor had been allowed bill
of $1,000 for his services, but money
had never been pail This amount
was considered excessive, and as the
notice to creditors has long since been
published, he may never be paid any
thing.

Sheldon Progress: Over $4,000 rep
resenting cold, hard cash was turned
loose On the streets of Sheldon last
Saturday morning. 1t consisted OF 1877
prime North Dakota grown porkers
raised by William Fraederich on his
farm north of Sheldon, and which
were brought in for shipmet to the
st. Paul market. They flied two
cars and were shipped out Saturday
night.
The hogs were of different sizes,
some weighing over 300 pounds and
others considerably lighter. Figuring
from the average weight, they were
worth from SIS to $1s each. the ship
ment being worth $2,5O5.
Mr.. FRA ederich raises some wheat,
but he does not depend on that crop
alone for living, and when the rust
raised hob with his wheat, he merely
smiled and thought of his excellent
corn crop and of over 300 hogs that
were waiting to be fattened on it.
The failure of the wheat crop was the
least Of his worries.
Mr. Fraederich fattened his pork
ers by turning hem loose into sixty
acres of some of the finest corn ever
grown in this state and the way they
began to fatten was wonderful. The
corn alone, after the work of harvest
ing it, would have been worth abou:
1900. and the 1877 hogs after being
fed on part Of it were worth $780,
proving that it is far more profitable
to feed grain than to sell 1t.
There are still over $50 porkers left
on the Fraedrich farm so the owner
will realize about $4,000 this fall from
the sale Of hogs alone. 1t is an Illus
tration Of how diversified farming
pays.
We have been informed a party Of
government surveyors are at work
plating the four towns laid out on
the Great Northern survey across the
Berthold reservation, but have been
unable to get definite information to
that effect. The presumption is they
started out west and are working this
way. II true. this would indicate the
government has Information Of work
to start in the spring. 1t is unlikely
any sale Of lots would be held unless
the railway had reached there or act
ual work was in progress, so the in
ference il there will be something do
ing in the spring. The proceeds OF
the sale Of lots goes to the Indian
fund Ryder Journal.
