of the 18th inst. an account was printed of
the school troubles in district No. 9,

report stated that an information had been
filed charging b. Borgensen with perjury

the trouble was a war of nations. between
the American and Norwegian settlers.
That the Norwegars We're making an
effort to limit the term of the school TO
three months and the Americans to extend
it to seven months, and that on this issue
a fiercely contested school election was
held. Your CORRESPONDENT was misin-
formed concerning many of the facts in
the matter. There was no information
filed against 3. BOrgensen, and Il. Bergen
sen did not commit perjury or election
fraud. The two Illegal voters that he is
accused of swearing in, as Judge of the
election. were two old ladies, one of whom
has lived in America siXty-.lye wears and
the other nearly fifty years. 1t was not
war of nations between the American and

was insutficiently supplied with men to
properly handle it.
