the proceedings Of the county commits
sioners appearing in this issue, the
county has Instructed District Attorney
Campbell.to institute legal proceedings
to defeat the high-handed scheme where
by Ramsey county seeks to rob Benson
o fSthree of her finest townships Of land.
The papers have been made out, compe-
tent legal assistance has been secured,
and it is proposed to see whether this
county is forced to submit to this partic-
ular one of the numerous frauds perpe-
trated by an INSCRIPTIONS, conscience
less and trading legislature in which in
stance Ramsey is enabled to gain 50 easy
and profitable a conquest. 1t would
have been greatly to the credit of Ram
sey had she suffered the late election to
60 by default instead of endeavoring to
profit by the grace of a swindling hgisla
tive bill. 1t remains to be seen whether
her h%oggishness will stand the test of the
law and receive the sanction of the dis
trict court.-Minnewaukan Siftings.
If the, producing classes of. Benson
county-the people who pay the taxes
are not careful, some of the reckless
officials of that county will pile up a
big debt for future liquidation. The
commencement Of proceedings against
Ramsey county mean the expenditure
of a large sum Of money for attorneys
fees. The district attorney and county
commissioners are taking the step on
their own account; the tax payers do
not urge it. for they will have the bills
to pay, and MI. Campbell and the COM
missioners will get all the notoriety
there is in it.
The three towns referred to were an
nexed to Ramsey county under q law
enacted by. the last legislature. The
bill was calculated to restore to this
county certain territory wrongfully
taken from it by a similar act of the
previous session. MI. Nickeus, one Of
the sponsors of Benson county, did not
object to the annexation clause, but did
insist upon what he termed a quid pre-
quo for his county; that is, he wanted
the Indian reservation south of Devils
lake, and the bill was drawn containing
the express stipulation that in case 8
majority was in favor of annexation
then the Indian reservation should 20 tt
Benson; otherwise the reservation
should remain in Ramsey. There were
20 votes in favor of Ramsey county
we got the three towns and Benson 20
the reservation. If there was any "un
scrupulousness," Observation-Disclosures
or TRADING" MI. Nickeus was u part,
to it; but the fact is it was a square deal
in which Mr.. Nickeus got ten acres fol
his county where he agreed that Ram
sey should have one.
We cannot believe that Mr.. Nickeus
is a party to the proposed litigation; h.
cannot be 50 inconsistent. The littl,
corterie of men-county officials-wht
are agitating the subject, and al,
threatening to go to the courts, ar
simply seeking notoriety at the expense
of the tax payers of Benson county, ant
they accordingly will. be held to answe
for any expense that they may saddl,
upon the county in carrying out thei
foolish designs.

of recommendation which will make
him solid with our Benson friends.

Missing County Records,

Word comes from Dunseith that in
the still, small. hours of one of the early
nights of this week, the county safe was
opened and all the records taken.
There is a difference of opinion in regard
to the guilty person or persons. The
inference is that some one in St. John
is responsible for the theft, while others
claim that the responsibility rests near
er the scene of.the affair.

Jamestown & Southern has really fallen
into the hands of the Rock Island, will
be extended north to the eastern point
of Devils lake and thence through to
the boundary line via Devils Lake city
and through the great Freshwater and
Coulee country. President Cable is now
north on the Manitoba. There is also

that Meerschak-[which is really {

comes in here and objects and make!
the retention of Meerschak the SIM
qua non. This difference of opinion il
