ing which the Nebraska troops bad

more men would be needed.

IMPORTANT DECISION,
The Supreme Court Decides a
Morton County Election
Contest Case.

The supreme court has rendered an
important decision in the Morton coun-
ty contest cases of auditor and county
superintendent. The face Of the re-
turns showed the Independent csndi-
dates for these Offices, Messrs. Schallern
and Seitz, we're elected. The republi-
can candidates contested on the ground
that the election judges had thrown ont
oertsln ballots that did not have tho
stamp and initials OF tho inspector.
Judge Lauder held with the contest
snts-thst the stamp and initials were
not necesssry-but the supreme court
reverses him and holds that in the osn-
vsss Of the votes any ballot which 10 not
endorsed % provided in Sec. 54 Of Rev.
Codes, by the ofiicisl stamp and inltials.
shall be void and shall not be counted.
The board OF canvsssers were correct IN
throwing out suoh ballots as did not
have the initials and stamp Of an inspeo-
tor or judge, and the independent can
dldates are allowed to hold the Offices.
The decision has q bearing on several
other contest cases, and shows that the
supreme court will hold strict compll-
auce with the election law necessary,
where the provisions are not shown to
be unconstitutional.

Italian Laborer Killed While

Unfortunate Experiment.

Attorney Baker OF Detroit, Mich,
who was employed to collect the Kldder
county tax against the Northern Paclf'c,
was beaten, as the recent decision OF
the supreme court held adversely to the
county's claim In the light of past
experience in such cases, the folly Of
engaging lawyers who have no better
success than Mr.. Baker is shown. He
was to have one-fourth OF all the mon.
eys and land the county collected or
secured. His expenses, except personal
travelling, were paid by the county.
Among them was 20O.psge answer IN
the suit, printed in Detroit, Mich, by q
firm in that city, paid for by Kidder
county tax payers. The net result OF
this suit is large amount of expense
and nothing gained, while the company
has stood ready for some time to COM
promise the taxes on what it claimed
was an equitable bssls and stop litiga.
tion. Another suit on the same matter
is pending IN the United States court,
begun by the county, and If Mr.. Baker
does not have better success there than
IN the state courts, the experiment of
Kidder county employing outside legal
talent will have proved quite disastrous.
Mr.. Baker may be good attorney, and
undoubtedly 10, but an outside lawyer
has the disad taRe in lack of knowl'
edge of our state statutes and, on gen.
eral principles, it 10 bad practice to
seId away for attorneys services the
same as for other supplies that can be
as we'll, il not better, provided for with
in the state.
