BISMARCK, n. Oak March lg-There
are some raey developments here re-
Rarding the recent Doodle campaign Of
tho liquor men. 1t trlnspires that a few
of the members of the legislature tried to
work the agents OF the whisky ring and
were themselves checkmated by a sharp
dodge. Those who were paid for their
votes received checks dated one day in
advance, the day before that on which
final action was taken in the house. The
checks were not good. therefore. until
after the vote had been taken. When
the holders came to cash them they found
that they had been countcrmandcd II is
SAID that only one member got his check
cashcd. The others were highly in
dirnlut at the sharp practice of the
whisky men, but they did not dare .queal

check which it casted in advance of the
date uuon its face, and which was subse-
quently countermanded. There were no
iunds to the credit Of parties giving the
checks in the banks in which they were
drawn.

them and their claims were favorabiy con-
sidered. Since then, however, numerous
complaints against the colonists have been
made and now Mr.. Ogden has been sent
