We have suspicion that the edi-
tor of the Gazette was much more
anxious to have local option carry
legally than he was to prompt the
official as to the new law governing
the election. We have no idea that

may be $ mt to Washington in diff
ferent capacity and his expenses
paid by the general government.-

Mitchell who has served a term in
saltwater for crooked work in a
horse deal at Osakis is again in the
hands of the law. About the mid
die of December he mortgaged q
cutter and robe belonging to a man
in Saltwater. He skipped out with

few hundred dollars, to 60 off with
him. He took her to Wahpeton,
