RAIL WORKERS
PROTEST. BUS
LINE PERMITS
Expansion of Bus Lines Nav
Cost Them Their Posi-
ti0ns, They Say

Fearing that continued expansion
OF bus lines in the state will prove
detrimental to railroads and thereby
threaten the stability Of their job, a
committee of railroad employees to-
day asked the state railroad board to
use extreme care in granting permits
for the operation Of bus lines.
The delegation. which consisted Of
W. J. Goldman. Mandan: V. X. Furst,
Fargo. and w. f. Williams. Valley
City. appeared before the board in
connection with the application Of
the Lakota Transportation company
for permission to operate a passenger
bus service between LanEdon and
Valley City via Lakota. The rail
road mcns arc opposing the applica-
ton on the ground that it is not ne
ccssary for public convenience
Railroads File Protests
Additional protests have been filed
by the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railways. which now serve the
territory through which the proposed
bus line would operate. and 200 citi-
zens living along the route also have
opposed the application on the
ground that bus line is unneces-
sary and would seriously damage the
roads.
The case has been set for hearing
at Lakota on the night Of February

Staying Of Constable Dinner Hockett,

whose bodies were found yesterday
in shallow grave on the land.
Officials believe moonshiners mur-
dered the two officers.
The officers, who disappeared Jan
uary 20 when they started out of Ed
wardsville on liquor raid, are be-
lieved by authorities to have been
captured by moonshiners and tor
tured for six days before they were
murdered.
Dead Since Thursday
Coroner Baer said the condition Of
the bodies indicates the men were
slain Thursday afternoon or night.
In an abandoned farm house near
the grave, federal prohibition agents
who found the bodies found vats con-
tanning nearly 100000 gallons of
whiskey mash. They also found parts
of two stills.
The house, its windows shattered
by bullets, gave evidence of gun
fight between the mOonshincrs and
the officers preceding the capture.
1t is thought the officers might
have raided the place in the absence
of the moonshiners and were cap
tured after a fight when the moon
sinners returned.
