A few weeks ago the St. Cloud
city council passed an ordinance
allowing saloons to remain open
until. 10 o'clock at night.
Mayor Boyd vetoed the ordinance
because the state law prohibited
their being open later than II
O'Clock. When the vetoed Or
dinance came back to the council
Monday night the veto was unani-
mously sustained. The mayor had
threatened to cancel the license Of
any saloon that remained open
later than IL clock, even if the
council should pass the 10 O'Clock
ordinance over his veto-so the
council did not have much choice
in the matter.

It is detriment to any territory
to have all it's railroad facilities
monopolized by one railroad
system, and wherever such con-
dition exists the people are dissat-
isfed. The history of California,
with it's transportation facilities
practically in the control of the
Southern Pacific, is lesson that
other states should heed. The
Northwest should use every effort
to prevent it's two great railroads
from forming a combination that
place the people and industries at
the mercy of one company.

In jamestown they have so-called
''curfew ordinance" which orders the ar.
rest of children under 'stcen years of age
who trample the grass of the village
lanes after post meridian. The Record
would suggest that, it old blue laws are
to be resuscltated, they should be made
more blanket-like in their nature. If
the Jimtown kidlets are to be conserved
at public expense, why not apply the pa
ternalistic idea still further9 Why not
amend the ordinance so as to require the
police to see that all children in charge of
the corporation are at all times provided
with chewing gum and worm.medicine
And then, too, it would be along the
same lines to require that all children ap.
pearing with earthly ears or flowing noses
should have the same washed and wiped
at public expense by the guardians of
the peace. Soap, towels and handker-
chiefs, as we'll as clubs, should form the
outfit of a policeman IN curfew-rlnging
burgs. The inspection of youthful sore
toes might also appropriately come with
in the scope Of the duties to be performed
by the minions of the law.

soldiers, but the citizen witnesses, with
the exception of two, repaid the cash
value of the certificate overpayment. If
none of the certificates had been sold,
they could have been recalled and correct
ones issued in their place. But all had
been disposed of except onc--that Of ex-
Treasurer j. d. Merrill. Mr.. Merrill
was written to by the clerk, and
promptly, in a pleasant and courteous
letter, returned the "a certificate, and
one for So was sent him. This left $26
that the clerk was responsible for. He
also wrote Ralph Patterson and U. NJ.
Surfus, two state witnesses brought up
by & A. Patterson, but up to date they
have neither returned the amount they
were ovcrpald nor replied to the clerks
letter. And they are the only two who
have not done 80.
AS soon as the clerk found that the
certificates had been sold he notified the
purchasers that he would be responsible
for their face value. lie also notified
Chairman McLain, of the county board.
and asked that the board receive the
overpaid certificates at their face value,
and deduct the total of the overpayment
from his (thc clerks s. bill to be presented
at the next meeting. The clerk prepared
an itemlzcd statement of the overpay-
ments and the names of the parties over
paid, and presented it to the board sub
tracing the total ($2G) from his bill of
clerks fees for the term. And the same
was so passed upon by the board.
So, instead of the county losing one
cent, the clerk lost 25 cents on each of
26 dollars, amounting to $3.50, and So
each overpad to Ralph Patterson and U.
NJ. Surfus--a total of $10.50.
Thus it will be seen that Corky could
easily have learned by writing to the
County Auditor, with whom the clerks
bill is on file, that the money overpaid
by the clerk was every cent made good
to the county, as it should have been, rs
the clerk alone was responsible for the
mistake.
Corky ought to know that such bare
faced falsehoods do HIM no good, and
that such acts as these only cause him to
be held in more profound contempt than
ever by the people of this county. He
can easily write to the auditor and learn
that the statements in this article are
true. Any honorable newspaper man will
correct a mistaken statement, if such
mistake is shown. But is it likely that
Patterson will come out in his paper and
admit that he has liedf

A Bad Indian.
To the Editor OF the Record.

Io the CditOr OF the record.
WINoNA, Dec. 10, 1854 few even
ings ago Deputy Marshal Livermore
came down from Bismarck, and upon
his return took from the Indian agency
an Indian known as Louie Sitting Bull,
who claims to be son of the dead chief
of that name, but who Is known to the
old agency employees as "Knc-ie-ac."
Twenty-Five years ago, when this agency
was built, there was bright, pretty boy
among the Indians who became favor.
ite with the agency employees. He ate
at the employees table and was dressed as
white boy by his white friends. Two
years later--in the spring of 1875--thcrc
was young man killed near the present
site Of this town. and few days later it
was learned that Kac ie-ac was the mur-
dercr, and had killed his victim to pro-
cure revolver. Kac-ie-ac became
alarmed and went to the hostile Indian
camp to escape arrest Nothing was
seen of him by his white acquaintance
until the surrender of Sitting Bull, whem
Kac ie-ac again put in an appearance at
Standing Rock, but under the nom dc
plume of Louie Sitting Bull He claimed
he had been adopted by the old medicine
man, and always afterwarl lived IN
Sitting Bulls camp until the old prophet
took up camping grounds in the military
cemetery just west of Fort Yates; some
five years ago. Marshal Livcrmore, in
taking his prisoner to Bismarck from
here, passed within very few feet of the
grave where lies buried Louic's victim of
twenty years ago, and he passed within
plain sight Of the very spot where Louie
left the body of poor James Llwler, so
long ago. It's understood that Louie IS
now under arrest for criminal assault
upon one of the school teachers employed
on the agency.
Respectfully, VIM. V. WADE.

Another "Tinesn Yarn.

The writer has been trying to make
something out of Corky. and has given
him some good advice. But it seems tc
be of no use, for the boy wiIl lie, and the
trouble seems 10 be constitutional with
him. His latest lie is more bare faced
and unfounded than the one he gave in
the fall of "a regarding the Record man g
non-paYment of taxes. In that instance
he was promptly shown to be liar, and
the showing will be as promptly made in
this instance.
On the third day Of the last term of
court. Flynn having been acquitted and
the states attorney having dropped
Patterson's other cases-against Slater
and Stanek--the witnesses therein were
discharged. The state witnesse were all
anxious to get home, and requested the
clerk to make out their certificates at
once. In order to do so, he took the
certificate book and official seal down to
the hotel and did the work during the
rush of the dinner hour. Now, the law
allows Jurors 50 day, while state wit
nesses receive but 81 a day. A few
certificates had been made out for mem.
bers of the jury panel who had been ex-
cused by the court, and, absent-mindedly,
the clerk kept on at the $2-a-day rate
when he began making out certificates
tor Patterson's state witnesses. Before
the fact was discovered--by the clerk 8
assistant calling his attention to it.
certificates had been issued for $28 more
than the legal fees. The over-payment
being mistake of the clerk and no one
else, he and not the county was morally
bound to stand the loss. But he at once
started in to save part of the penalty for
his mistake, if possible. To the credit
of the young soldier boys, whom Patter-
son refused to take back home, be 1t
said that they at once responded. They
and nearly all Of the other witnesses had
disposed of their certificates, in payment
for board, at rs cents on the dollar. But
they paid back to the clerk 70 cents on
the dollar of what they had been over-
paid, the clerk losing the difference be-
tween the face of the overpaid portion
of the certificates and the price of sale
between Sc and 81 in ALL Not only the

stress on the fact that two }urles have
