in the ankle while hunting ducks in
the hills last Thursday morning. In

repeating his shotgun, supposing the

the gun went off, the full charge strik-
ing Mr.. Wallace in the ankle, the
small shot coming out through the

The coal operators of this section
of the state will hold a meeting at
Minot Thursday, Sept. 16, when some
action will be taken in reference to
| the recent adjustment of rates as
| fixed by the railroad commissioners.
The present rate is considered very
unfair, and an injustice has been done
the operators of this section in that
they were not duly notified as to the
meeting held at Bismarck Sept. 4. No
notice was received by them of this
meeting until the day before the hear
ing was held. The action of the board
in cutting out the joint rate is con-
sidered both unfair and unjust.
