Weller, Oct 26, 1892.
Editor Leader: Your correspondent c.,
in last weeks Leader, although he gave the
law in regard to the salary of county treas
urers, and male a concise statement of
facts concerning the $90.47 which Mr..
Haugeberg purloined from the county
treasury this summer, yet he did not give
all the facts in the case nor sufficiently ex-
plain the worse feature of it. The ques
ton has caused SO much talk, and there
have been SO many conflicting stories cir
culated by Mr.. Haugeberg and his friends
ostensibly for the purpose of befogging
the people and cover up the steal, that I
thought it my duty as a taxpayer and a
voter to investigate it for myself. Ac
cordingly I called at the auditors Office,
and found that the statement of your cor
respondent &C." was correct as far as he
went, but I found other evidence which
convinced me that the taking of that
$90.47 was not done by mistake nor thro'
any mlsconstruction of the law, but was
deliberate steal. found that the county
board of commissioners had fixed Mr..
also found that he had drawn his pay, rs
fixed by the board, every month, which
the county auditors warrant book shows,
and this $9O.47 was taken entirely outside
of his salary and no credit given to the
county for it. Nor does it appear that
Mr.. Haugeberg intended to credit the
county with this mount on his salary, for
as have said above he has drawn his sal
ary every month, the last warrant being
issued to him for his September payment,
while the $9047 he pocketed sometime i'll
June last. This amount may seem small
in the eyes of some men. but it doesn't
take many such items to run up into the
thousands, and the sooner we shut off the
leakage the better it will be for the county.
Hoping that my explanation will be bet
ter understood by your readers, I am,
Resptf'ly yours. A.

The republican convention in the third
district last Saturday nominated demo-
crat named Richards for commissioner by
majority of one. A majority of the
delegates chosen were for John Ecklund
but Gus johnson gotta proxy and threw
the vote the other way, thus giving one
vote more for the democrat. It is said
democratic star chamber convention had
been held somewhere and elected Richards
as the democratic candidate. He is not
likely to cut ,h of a figure in opposi-
tion to honest John Ecklund.-Bismarck

Don't deceive yourself, Bro. Moffet. A.

Coal Harhor. Oct. 2s. 1892.

COal udrDOr, OCG. 20, 1oJI.
Editor Leador: have been over the
county considerable during the past ten
days hunting stray stock, and in talking
with the farmers find that the Indepen-
dent ticket is growing more in favor every
day. While in Washburn the other day,
had talk with several farmers in regard
to the treasurership, and found that a ma
iOrity of them were pronounced in favor
of Hans Holtan for treasurer. They all
seemed inclined to the opinion that that
Office should not be held by storekeeper,
and they gave their reasons for it, and they
strike me as being very good ones. Mr..
Holtan is said to be very capable man,
and personally know he ia an honest man
and gentleman. OF course, have moth
ing personal against Mr.. Haugeberg, but
somehow or other I can't get that $50 item
through my wool. understand that Mr..
Herman Hanson, who is doing all he can
for Mr.. Haugeberg, says that the accusa
tion against Mr.. Haugeberg that he took
that money illegally is all bosh. Well, I
can't say it is bosh, and I can't see how
Herman Hanson knows so much about it.
The story have heard that Mr.. Haugeberg
has told the farmers about that matter is
not altogether satisfactory to me, and
don't think that he nor Mr.. Hanson can
explain it clear enough to make it appear
lawful to the mind of an intelligent man
who can read the law. Another thing I
wish to speak of is in regard to the story
which is being circulated by Herman Han
son and few others to the effect that Mr..
Holtan intends to withdraw from the can
vass before the election, but if elected, that
he would not attend to the Office himself.
Now, wish to say that l have had con-
versation with Mr.. Holtan, and he told me
positively that if he was elected he would
move to Washburn and attend to the Office
personally himself, and from what can
learn he is just as capable of discharging
the duties of that Office as Mr.. Haugeberg
is, or any other man in Mclean county,
and tile way things are looking now there
is no doubt but that he will be elected by
a large majority. Maybe I am trespass-
ing on your patience, but I cannot help
myself when hear such nom
sense circulated by Mr.. Hangeberg and
his friends. j. Il.

Coal Harbor, N. D., Oct. %, 1892.

Editor Leader: AS have not any news
from our corner of this great little county.
will you please publish the program of the
Columbus Day exercises OF the Coal Har-
Dor school accompanying the raising of
the school flag, an effort of our teacher,
Miss Lydia Staley, assisted by her pupils,
who had raised money enough by srlllng
flag tickets, donated by the Youths Com
panion, at ten cents apiece to buy flag
twenty feet long. Great enthusiasm ran
through the older ones as they saw the
children around the fag-the emblem of
the greatest nation now existing-and
when they raised it above their heads and
it went floating to the breeze, the thrill of
Joy that echoed from the throats of chill
dren, men and women, caused us to roalize
how dear to every ones heart that great
flag is. and how readily many man has
given his life rather than see it trailing in
the dust or being trampled upon.
The exercises were as follows:
Song-Home. Sweet Home. Everybody

Mr.. H. Bartes then made a few remarks,
telling the children the difference between
this government, that is ruled over by the
people and represented by that great flag,
and tho despotic government ruled over
by an emperor, where any one, man. wo-
man or child, who earns any wages, has to
give one dollar out of every ten for the
support of the government. Mr.. Staley
told the children how the colonel of his
regiment valued the flag rather than the
soldiers, when he was wounded at the head
of his regiment in the Chancellor vile fight.
The standard bearer was shot down at the
same time the colonel was. He said to his
men, "Take care of the fag-keep it
foating-and not care for me-" How
many instances history tells us of whore
people have sacrificed their lives to pre-
serve that great emblem, the stars and
stripes. j.
