jamestown Alert; The attempt on the
part of one member of the Logan county
board of commissioners, to have a re-.
of the vote which changed the
location of the county seat, from Ma
poleon to section g., township 1874, range
SO, was a failure. The other two mem
bers of the board after n long converse
ton in the classic Russia Germanic
declined to consent. Many
votes are claimed in the IS ma
jority which the removal proposition
had. The present location is on the 500,
and a colony of Russians got together
and voted to change the location to a
point nearer the geographical center of
the county and about 20 miles from
Napoleon, but distant from the railway.
All efforts so far to undo the vote have
been unavailing and the two commits
sioners notify the public that Jan. II
next the county seat will be at the new
location.
