A protest against the resembling Of

OF 1000 cars of coal daily into the
northwest, has been sent by the
Grand Forks Commercial club to the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
Washington. North Dakota, South
Dakota and Minnesota now are rep,
resented at Washington by Judge j..
F. MCGEE, who was sent there by
Governor Burnquist to appear before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to protest against any such action.
The Public Utilities Commissions
Of Ohio, Michigan and Indiana have
started a campaign to have Order No.
10arescinded, it is said. They claim
that the shipment Of so much coal
into the northwest daily deprives
manufacturers Of those states Of
much-needed fuel.
The club was asked to furnish In

that there IL 1S per cent Of the nor

ard, who had stayed longer than he
had contemplated. In the meantime
Leonard had started back and when
the men were a short distance apart,
some one in the woods fired. Parts
of the scattering shot struck both
men, neither being seriously hurt.
Leonard. it appears. was struck q
glancing blow in the r of ths left
eye. He was Immediately rushed to a

ton, the shot was removed. The
