Little Falls justice determined that
John Begordis should go before a Nor
rison county grand jury and find out
if he 10 fit subject for indictment. 1t is
thought that NJ. w. Begordis and Ed
win also, will meet the G. j. and fnd out
whether they too, were guilty OF OBJ
structing highway. 1t is almost year
since the trouble to the public begun on
the road in dispute, and the town board
tolerated It, hoping all the time that
John would let up, but not 60, and mas
much as older heads than Johnny's were
at the bottom OF the trouble they (the
older heads) should not escape.
In May, 1900, q. r. Shell took a Job
to carry mail from Ramey to Buckmau.
Cowles & Murtaugh, the government
contractors, let the job, NJ. Smell gave
c. Cheeley and F. d. Lapping as bonds
men. Cowles & Murtaugh knew that
the postmaster at Ramey was C. Chez
ley's daughter, and that the Office was
kept in his house. When the bond went
| to Washington the postal department
asked what kin the Ramey postmaster
was to Cheeley, and whether the office
was kept in Chi eley's house, and was
told the truth. Shell quit the job Feb.
End, 1901. Cowles the con tractol, cor
responded with the bondsmen, sending
contract for Lapping's signature as sub
contractor and Cheeley's as bondsman,
telling them each could carry the mail,
Cheeley half the time and Lapping half.
Tapping refused, but Cheeley carried
mail till June 26th, when the contractors
came up and relieved him by letting a
new Contract to Henry Martin as car
rier, with Cheeley and Lapping as sure

reason for giving synopsis OF this case
is that by it's publication, in the future
some honest man may not be caught by
the men OF the pull. The ordinary man
is not supposed to know, the intricate
! details of postal laws and rules. No one
| is allowed to carry mail who lives under
the roof OF the postohice, and these men
with the pull let Cheeley carry the mail
for four months, for which he canreceive
no pay. Was this right between man
and man? We think and trust that hell
is teemiug with such schemers as these
men with the pull. Gardner Cowles of
Algona, lis the politicalmanager of re-
publican orator Dolliver, and of course
such men must be looked after.
