GOVERNOR WHITE WRITES PETI-

b, NEW COUNTY HIS VIEWS OF
THE MATTER. i $s5 n 5$s ..] ]Es 4. #s& Vi
! In answer to a. letter of, A W.. Mo
gvius, an attorney at law at Bowhells,
regarding the proposed organization
of Mountraille county, Governor White
says that he can have nothing to do
with ); the proposed organization. of
5Msonntrailre county, until the matter
,of the county boundaries east Of the
river has been settled by The supreme
court. Governor Whites letter is as
follows: .4: -. .@ =, .....r i, NJ
Replying to your favor of the oath
ult., beg to state that ! haveshad this
matter under consideration for some
days and have arrived at the follow
ing conclusions: -
:; First, that the act of 1891, organiz-
ing and defining the boundaries of
Ward and other counties in your Sec
tion Of the state, has never been ques-
toned in our supreme court and they
have never set aside the law as being
unconstitutional.
Second, the supreme court being the
only body competent to set aside a
statute, the statute not having been
set aside by them is in force and
effect. 1t may be voidable but is not
void until SO pronounced by this act.
Therefore arrive at this conclusion.
that what was once the unorganized
county of Mountraille was made a
part of Ward county by the act of 1891
and upon the face of it is now a part
of that county. The same grounds
exist for setting this statute aside. as
pertained !. in the statute organizing
Sark, Billings and other counties west
of the river, and which statute enacted
in 1896 was set aside by our supreme
court under the decision of 1890 and
a more recent decision Of 1901, not
yet published. ,.s s. !,
i cannot see where I would have any
authority to act in the matter as il
now stands. If you see the matter
differently and will kindly point ou1
the way. I would be glad to give the
matter due consideration

To secure the release of Miss Stone and

The committee was also made aware
Of the fact that the American Board
has no money with which to save Miss
