SUIT IS FILED
 FOR LARGE SUM
 BY P. M0UNIER

In the clerk of courts office yes. terday suit was filed by Peter Mounier against J. E. Riley. Leroy Tozier and McGowan & Clark are ap- bearing for the plaintiff in this mat ter
 The suit Is to have a reckoning made in co-partnership of some h. nokO ground, and in certain gold and money taken out of this ground and involves some $20.0O0 in cash besides a lot of mining equipment and considerable mining ground.
 The complaint in the suit states that the plaintiff and the defendant entered into a co-partnership for the purchase and working of certain min. ing claims in the Innoko district. The co-partnership acquired a large number of valuable placer claims, machinery. supplies. equipment. wood and other materials for use in work ing the claims, and working part of the ground. extracted considerable amount of gold. The defendant in this case took a large quantity of this gold for himself, and, in addition to this, sold or attempted to sell considerable part of the property which was of value He excluded the plaintiff from the use and en- joyment of his share in this gold and in the property sale, and has prohibited the plaintiff from having access to the books of the partner ship. and from participating in any manner in the returns, and has re- fused to make an accounting all though requested to do so. He seiz- ed the books of the partnership wrongfully. and refused the plaintiff access thereto. In addition, the com plaint states that the said co-part- nership Is indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of $17.O00 for moneys invested and $3.000 for labor per formed. none of which has been paid and all of which is due and ow- ing to the plaintiff. and 1t is the plaintiffs belief that the defendant intends to sell the property and take the proceeds unless he is restrained.
 The plaintiff therefore prays the court:
 l. That the defendant be restrained from the use and enjoyment of the property and from interest in the mining operations during the trial of this case
 2. That the defendant be required to account for all accounts, moneys. gold taken out. and that receiver be appointed to look after the same.
 3. That the co-partnership be dis solved.
 1. That the cost of the case be such as the court deems just.

WORD TO vERMONTERS.
Gov. Graham Urges Use of Wood oil
Prompt Ordering of Coal.

Coal has received SO much publicity
from day to day and week to week that
the real situation may not be clearly un.
derstood In compliance with requests
to give his views of the coal situation
Governor Graham makes the following
/ statement:
| Car shortage is responsible for the Goa
| situation. There is enough coal and
there are miners enough. Miners stick
| TO the mines as farmers stick TO .he
soil. Not just since the war began, but
| for several years, there have not been
enough railroad coal ears TO give the ma
jority Of miners employment for more
than an average of four days per week.
Next TO the car shortage is the lack Of
sufficient motive power to haul the in
creased tonnage required by the war. The
coal mines are not located at tidewater.
Coal carried by water has to be hauled
by rail TO river or seaport. Then after
being hauled on and off barge, is again
shipped by rail to inland destinations.
The towage available for manufacturing
coal is greatly reduced because many
tugs and barges have been required TO
coal ships.
The cost and delay Of transporting
coal is considerably increased in winter.
All persons who Arrange to burn wood or
reduce the consumption of coal, will rem
der patriotic service BY so doing,
fewer railroad cars will be required to
haul coal. Those who absolutely have
to have coal, should get it whenever they
can and make exceptional effort to I'M
load coal cars at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
To sum up. transportation conditions
make coal scarce; use wood if you can;
if you have TO use coal, be ready to take
it when you can get it.
