coal trains at Nebraska City and be

of coal on the sides of the car and
as they passed the public highways
would dump the coal from the cars
and pick it up in trucks. The case
has been worked on by opecial agents

of coal in the back yards of the oper
ators, kept surveilance of the par
ties, and watched so that the last
time which was late last week that
they operated, they were bo closely
watched they could not pick up the
coal. So the company had Joe Dare

Murray Mecca for Contractors.
