is only eight years old-a mere infant.
The complaint is made by John Zeib-

jolly country folks arrived they were
welcomed by the merry peals of the

and chairs filled intervening spaces
between the desks. There was not q
seat to spare, there being more than a
hundred present from near Dazev,

rounding country. The program was
opened with "Joy to the World" and
closed with a beautiful tribute to the

A bootlegger had the hardihood
toopen upfor businessin Coopers-
town. He now languisheth in
durance vile unable to give $500
blil. The prohibition law is not
ignored in Griggs county and has
so many provisions for it's en-
forcement that there is no excuse
for it's not beingenforced.-Alert.
Prohibition is enforced in the
county of Griggs fairly well, so
FAR as the States Attorney and
the Judge are concerned, What
is needed now more than anything
else is for an enactment to be
passed compelling the sheriffs in
different counties of the state to
keep blind piggers under lcck
and key after they have been
sentenced to a term in the county
Jail. We notice that in seve, al
of our exchanges that blind pig
gers are allowed to roam at their
own sweet will. If this is the
correct definition of punishment
as construed by the courts, then
we have no more to say. The
people have got enough of this
kind of farce and demand that
the courts compel their orders
to be respected.

Ifit we're possible for the editor
of the Tribune to be serious long
enough to read the columns of
the COURIER he would perceive
that it had already selected it's
candidate for governor. The
COURIER does not know-perhaps

nominated for governor, and
wants to know how these differ
ent probable candidates stand on
public questions, so that if light
ming should strike them in the

where '.they are at. ~ The CoUR-

Answer to Taxpayer.

CooPERsTowN, Dec. %, 1897.
In answer to the article in your last
weeks paper against myself l would
say this, that if anything do hate it
is a newspaper quarrel but presume
will have to answer or else acknow.
ledge the article to be true which l
certainly deny.
Now then in the first place he calls
it the rumor that Tang, blind pigger,
doing 80 days for contempt of court in
place of being in Jail was roaming the
streets at will, out driving with /his
best girl. Now say that the person
is either misinformed or else he is tell
ling a wilfull lie. The times that the
said Tang has been on the street is
when have myself taken him down
town to the barber shop and into"a
store to get a few things that he need
ed and that is not many times either.
He has had the chance to do what
work that l have had to do such as
saving and splitting wood, takingcare
of my stock. and now then comes the
drinking out of bootleggers bottles.
While said Tang was doing work in
the barn these bootleggers would not
be satisfied with selling their stuff
around the street corners but they
would come into my barn and have
said Tang buy it from them, but Tang
did not own up to it until 1 caught
them at it and took the whiskey away
from Tang and have itin my possess
siou now, and made the complaint
myself and will do so again if / get
the evidence that is needed in order to
do so, and if Mr.. Taxpayer had gone
and looked at the justice docket he
could have found out who made the
complaint, and now in regard to the
Daley boys Mr.. Taxpayer knows right
we'll that had nothing to do with that
as the sentence was suspended by the
Justice acting on the advice OF the
states attorney and the county COM

If newspaper reports are to be

have the hardest fight of his life
for reelection to the United States

1t is alleged that Gov. Bushnell

he is to receive the support of
the democrats and enough repub-
lcans opposed to Hanna to give
him the election. 1t is also al
legged that Bushnell has pledged
himself to support thefree silver

three years ago ana since tnat time the
children-two little girls aged 8 and 4,
have been with relatives in Duluth.
About two months ago the Oldest child
was sent to the father here, He was at
Cooperstown at the time and the child
was cared for by the prisoners broth
er, who conducts the Christian Mis-
sion at $40 Front street. On his return
to Fargo Baker made arrangements
with Mrs. Zeibler, who was then cook
at the Mission, to care for the little
girls. They were to rent rooms to-
gether in the Keeney block, and he was
to stand half the expense while Mr..
and Mrs. Zeibler stood the rest. This
explains the Zeibler side of the affair.
They claim to have had their suspic-
ions aroused and finally verified.
Bakers side of the story agrees
with that told by the Zeiblers up to a
certain point. He tells about the ar
rangement as to the care of the chill.
dren and the rooms, but says that
Zeiblers neglected to fulfill their part
of the contract as to half the expense.
He told them that he was getting tired
of the arrangement and would store
the furniture with which all the rooms
we're furnished and board out with his
children. He alleges that this terrible
charge is made against him purely for
spite work because of his intention to
turn them out. He protests his inno-
csnce in most empathic terms.
Baker was arraigned in Judge
G1arey's court this morning. He Sc
cured Judge Barnett to appaar in his
behalf, and the case was adjourned to
2 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon to secure
some witnesses.
Baker does not bear the best of re.
putation in some respects but no one
who knoys him ever suspected him of
the commission of such a crime. This
is the second case of the kind now
pending in the courts, and the people
feel that the court cannot be too Sc
we're in the sentences if their guilt is
proven.
The above is taken from Mondays
Fargo Forum. Baker was employed
here last fall by Gust Olson and VIM.
Stewart in their tailor shops. 1t is
hoped that he can clear himself of the
charge.
