D|NNE AWARDED
$4,000 DAMAGES
NORMAL SCHOOL CONTRACTOR
SECURES VERDICT AGAINST
PORTLAND CEMENT co OF
CHICAGO-DEFENDANTs WILL
APPEAL.

d. A. Dinnie, Minot normal school
contractor, secured a verdict for 81
$3.50 against the Portland Cement
Co. Of Chicago. The case was tried in
federal court in this city before Judge
Amidon, beginning Tuesday of last
week. The case went to the jury Sat
urday afternoon at 8 o'clock and the
Jury returned a verdict the following
morning at II o'clock after being out
20 hours. It is reported that on the
first ballot, the jury stood 9 to 8 in ia
vor Of the contractor.
The cement company is preparing
to take an appeal to the circuit court
Of appeals.
The jury agreed that Mr.. Dinnie
ought to be reimbursed the actual
cost Of the cement. Mr.. Dinnie had
sued for $45,000, which included not
only the cost Of the cement, but the
cost of rebuilding most Of the wall
for the main building. The verdict is
rather peculiar for it would seem that
if the cement was defective, Mr.. Dim
ME should receive enough to pay him
for the total loss sustained. If the &C.
ment was shown not to be defective,
then naturally Mr.. Dinnie could expect
no damages whatsoever.
About Is witnesses including expert
cement men testified. There were wit
nesses to prove that Mr.. Dinnie did
not properly mix the cement and 9th
ers to prove that he did.
The case was exceedingly hard
fought. The Minot contractor was
represented by Atty. Francis Murphy
Of this city and Geo. Bangs of Grand
Forks. Atty. Cowan and Blood &
Adamson Of Devils Lake represented
the cement company.

Farmers are setting up a cry for
city scales run on business basis. A
set Of scales was once installed by the
city, but they did not prove satisfac-
tory. Farmers often had to wait for
long periods to get their loads weigh
ed. They now drive to the various
coal Offices, but they feel that they
are imposing on those dealers, be-
sides they cannot always get their
loads weighed just when they desire.
The city ought to install a set Of
scales and weigh master. We want
the farmers to bring in their products
and we ought to give them the proper
service.
