DISTRICT SCHOOL
AT JAMESTOWN

jamestown, N. D, Jan. 6.-The case
Of John Knauf VS.. the Northern Pa
cific railroad was heard in district
court the greater part of Thursday
and Friday. =
This case is a suit brought by
Judge Knauf for judgment growing
out Of an alleged loss Of grain from
an N. p. car, Jan. /. 1908. AT that
time, the plaintiff claims, Christopher
Christianson, with flax belonging to
himself and another party for ship
ment to Duluth. Approximately 934
bushels of flax was measured and not
weighed, was put into the car where
it was loaded according to the testi-
mony of Mr.. Christensen, and when
subsequently unloaded at Medina, only
about 4S0 bushels were found in it.
The car was stopped at Medina by
parties who declared they had claims
against the owners of the flax and this
is the reason for it's being unloaded
there instead Of being taken to its
destination at Duluth. Judge Knauf
was attorney for the Of the flax
in their suit against the railroad for
the alleged loss and it is said he paid
over a sum to his clients because he
had failed to secur what he thought
was due them and took an assignment
of their claim against the road. He
now brings suit to recover the money
in his w name that he paid out.
The railroad contends that 1t was
not responsible for the 500 bush
ais ~ flaw said m ha missing ar
guing that the conditions of the car
was such that one could ave been
lost and doubling the accuracy of the
claims to the amount put into the
car at Crystal Springs.
