Is Joseph e. Remington, sentenced
to term OF life imprisonment in the
North Dakota penitentiary Dec. %,
1891, an escaped convict? Here are the
facts, shown by the record in the case:
Remington was sentenced in 1891 to
life imprisonment. Dec. 2, 1911, the
state board of pardons at its regular
meeting, committed his sentence to a
term Of thirty years, contingent upon
good conduct for the ensuing time"

to deduction from the term of SEN

state cheaper than either Fargo or

largely with a discussion OF the new
interstate commerce commission ex-
press rates as applied to North Dakota
and some very interesting and rather
startling facts have developed as to
the effect of these rates upon several
North Dakota cities.
Rate Expert J. A. Little, who has
been working on these rates for some
time preparatory to the express rate
hearing to be held at Grand Forks
next Wednesday, was present and the
matter was gone into very thoroughly.
