Justice Grace dissented. Tho majority opinion was written by Judge Bronson, The suit was begun by Carl Semm- ler and Susanna ‘Semmler in district court to quiet title to the coa} lands, and judgment rendered in district court by Judge Pugh for the plaintiff. The defendants appealed. The coal land comprises about 80 acres adjacent to the townsite of Beu- lah, underlaid for some 45 acres with lignite coal, according to the opinion which detai}s the facts of the. case. On June 22, 1915, the owner, one Jeze- Jer, executed a contract deed to Carl Semmler, selling the land for $2,450, of which $105 was paid at the time of execution, the ‘valance to be paid in annual installments covering period of eight years. ‘ Semmler entered into possession, sunk a shaft and, he says, put $8,000 in improvements in mining machinery and mine buildings. On Nov. 16, 1915, he assigned the contract to the First - State-Bank of ‘Beula. In .1916 the bank assigned the contract and in- debtedness against Semmler to P. P. Mounts. On Feb. 7, 1917, Jezeler quit- claimed to one Kenyon, now deceased, then cashier of the First State bank. He obtained through the court an or- der of cancellation of the Semmier contract. Kenyon quit-claimed the coal land to the coal company. The Beulah Coal Mining company, | 889 in total value of farm products in 1919. Dividing this-into its different elements the total value of fanm crops was placed at $31,782,935. Live stock products represented $30,777,931 and animals sold and‘slaughtered were placed at $34,960,000. Forest products were represented by $206/316 and @nursery and greenhouse products at $186,705, In the total. value of crops, North Dakota is not far below New York, Pennsylvania and ‘Michigan and is far iin advance of Virg'nia with 292 mil- lions, and even with Kentucky, Ala- bama and /Mississippi, the vatues of ‘the litter two states being held down by the ‘ow prices of cotton at that |time, just following the close of the war. The crop value o! rth Dakota was twice that. of Louisiana, Wash- ington and Oregon, \Louisions also suffering from the cotton prices but being aided by the sugar prices, In live stock -products, the state does not show as well, the thirty mil- lions here being compared to Virginia with 50 millions, Arkansas w'th 30 millions and Oregon with 38 millions. | In livestock sold and slaughtered, al- |so the state does not compara as well as it does in value of :rops, most of the state. being .so far in advance ithat the 35 millions of North Dakota can be compared with 34 millions for West Virginia, 46 millions for Mon- tana, 30 millions. for Idaho and 36 millions for Oregon. Most of the wth- er states, even the. states not con- sidered a8 grazing states are far in excess of thes totale, Iowa with her mammoth production of hogs leading with 420 millions. f ' In the amount of forest products, North Dakota has its place ‘with the {other states of the treeless prairies of \the central west, South Dakota and Nebraska having about the same f ures. The other states with low fiz- ures are Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and Nevada. Kansas makes a surprising showing for a prairie state with a mil- lion and a half of forest products. \ |FELSCH’S CASE f IS PUT OVER Milwaukee, May 13 (By the A.
