Red Winu Mimi

Red Wing, Mimi, July 16.-Attor-
neys for the Chicago Great Western,
the st. Paul road and the Chicago and
Northwestern, which were indicted by
the Goodhue county grand jury for
failure to obey the railroad rate laws,
demurred to the indictments brought
against them when the case came up
for trial before Judge Albert Johnson.
The railroads counsel asserted that
the court had no jurisdiction, that the
facts stated did not constitute a pub
lie offense, and that there were irregu-
larities in the procedure.
The attorneys criticised the court
because special attorneys had been
named to advise the grand jury, in.
stead of leaving the matter to the
county attorney.
