down 1 per cent.

which will be good news to his friends
here and at Gladstone.

low the first joint. The accident hap
pened the night of the nth and he came

near Gladstone, known the past ten or
fifteen years IS the Investors Syndicate,
the North American Coal & Mining Co.,
and the Producers & Consumers Coop
Co. property. The case was
taken under advisement. 1t seems to
be a very complicated action in which
John F. Boyer, a wealthy eastern man,
appears as %intervenor. Thos. H. Pueh
represents MI. Cooley as local attorney,
while Heffron & Baird are looking after
The interests of Mr.. Hildreth.
