in the district and has been so
thoroughly appreciated, that no doubt
rests in our mind as to his reelection
in November. He is the only old
soldier on the ticket and we expect
him to get rousing majority.
For the office of county treasurer
the republican party certainly nomin-
ated as competent gentleman as
could be found within the borders of
the county in the person of
SEVAL FRISWOLD.
For years he has had charge of the
business end of John Syverson' S large
business and thoroughly competent in
every detail. In addition to that he
is man of sterling worth and integri-

Conceded by Everybody to be Made Up Of
The Best Men In the County 1t Must
Come Out Winner.
WE ARE PROUD OF OUR TICKET.

The republican party of Griggs
county got great boost in the minds
of the people last Saturday when in
convention assembled it nominated
seto county officers that are as good
a set of men as you could pick out in
the county, barring the county super
intendent of schools, and lady was
renominated for that office. 1t is
certainly a clean ticket from top to
bottom and no republican need hesi-
tate for one moment in putting X at
the head of the ticket this time.
There were total of "a votes in the
Z convention and out of that number IS
were represented, 78 being present in
person. This is great showing for
the busy season and shows that there
is lots of enthusiasm. Many faces
were visible in the convention that
had wandered away for the past few
years, but had come back where they
belonged, and they are gladly well
coined.
The convention was called to order
by David BARTLETT, chairman of the
county committee and the call read
by the secretary.
On motion made and seconded r.
II. Belden was elected chairman and
Russell Purinton secretary.
On motion chairman appointed the
fo11oxu;pr oon,p,;ttooc.
Resolutions: David Bartlett, o. P.
Fiering, Iver Udgard.
Credentials: S. j, Tande, Claus
Jackson, A. NJ. Baldwin.
After recess committee on creden-
tials reported which report was on
motion adopted.
On motion duly carried, the tempo
rary organization was made perma-
nent, and order of business taken up
as published in the call.
Committee on resol utions reported
as follows:
Resolved, That the republicans of
Griggs county are in favor of the en-
actment of primary election law
that shall secure to every elector the
right to vote on the nomination of all
state and county officers,
We are opposed to any act looking
to the resubmission of the prohibition
question. There is no room for the
saloon in a North Dakota home or on
North Dokota prairies. We pledge
the nominees of this convention to a
strict enforcement of the prohibitory
law and Griggs county's members of
the legislature to every effort to de-
feat resubmissiOn.
Third. We are glad to welcome
back to the republican party many
heretofore populists who now find
themselves without party, being un-
willing to be led into the democratic
fold and march under the banner of
free trade and the open saloons as ad-
vocated by the North Dakota demo-
cracy.
On motion the resolutions were
adoped.
Moved and carried that memberof
the central committee be elected from
each precinct. The following county
committee was elected:
SO Homme, A e Wells,
David BARTLETT, Tom O Sad,
e r Purinton, E. G. Evenson,
JH Mulroy, Esten Johnson,
H II Robinson, George Cline,
Frank J Pfeifer, A M Hemerline,
Hans o Lien, il Houghton,

commissioner districts handed in the
following nominations for county
commissioners:

DIR. Goldsmith of Eagle Grove, Ia,
who is visiting with his brother-in-law
in this city, had an experience while
in Cooperstown Tuesday that has Civ
en- them a strong prejudice against
the code of ethics practiced
among some North Dakota physicians.
DR.. Goldsmith went out to Coopers-
town to look after some land and
while at hotel there case of con-
siderable interest came under his no
tice. A Fargo lady, said to be pro-
fcssional nurse, went to that
city on business and was taken very
illat the hotel. A local physician was
summoned, who examined herand left
promising to return but failed to show
up, Meanwhile the lady suffered very
much from severe pain. Another To-
cal physician was called and he re-
fused to do anything until the first
member of the medical profession was
released. This the patient was un-
able to do and she was left to suffer
great pain. DR.. Goldsmith is said to
have had the lady taken to the train
to be removed to Fargo that she might
receive proper treatment. On the
train happened to be Senator and Mrs.
Cooper, who on learning the particu
lars of the case took the lady in
charge, stopping long enough in Far
20 to have her taken to DR.. Vidal's
Hospital, where her suffering was al
leviated.

The nominee is no stranger to the
people. He is a bright young farmer
living west of town. He is gentleman
who is highly respected by his neigh
bors and friends wherever he is known
and in addition, he has the ability
to do the work of that office. We feel
sure that he will have a majority of
the voters on his tally sheet Novem-

been m.~|,. Judge Carleton's ad-
ministration of the probate affairs Of
Griggs county have been such that
the people will undoubtedly re-elect
him to that position. 1t requires a
lawyer to fill that office and fill it
right, as many legal questions are
coming before the court constantly.

take in electing him to that important
ROBERT NJ. COwEN


is known from one end of Griggs coun-
ty to the other and probably no man
has won for himself more friends that
our old friend "Bob." He was un-
animously nominated for county
auditor and his choice seems to please
everybody. For l6 years he worked
for the Northern Pacific as agent at
Cooperstown and during that time he
extended many kindnesses to the busi-
ness men and farmers. He ought to
get a big vote and be the next county
auditor. His competency is unques-
toned and his many sterling qualities
are appreciated. Don't forget r. M.
Cowen.

HANS II. KOLOEN

was nominated for sheriff on the first
ballot. Mr.. Koloen is a farmer living
in Pilot Mound township. We be-
lieve that if the people elect him to
this office that they will have no cause
to regret it. He is conscientious
gentleman and we feel sure that he
will do his duty in every instance.
The republican party can elect him if
it sees fit, and we hope that he will
get the united support of all.

The gentleman cast his lot with us
two years ago and during this time
has won for himself many friends. He
is an able lawyer and is popular with
the people. If elected we feel sure that
he will do his duty without fear or
favor and will be a worthy servant of
the people. Mr.. Spicer will call on
the votes in the near future and we
hope the republicans win give him the
hearty support that he deserves.

A SECOND TRIAL
John |. Moore's Case is Before
the Court.
Defense Puts on No Evidence. ---0nIy
One More Jury Case for
Trial.

Difficulty was had in getting jury
for the second trial of John l. Moore,
the alleged forger. After six jurors
had been accepted yesterday afternoon
special yenire for ten was issued.
The following jury was finally secured,
G. R. Brandt, Andrew Lindall, J. J.
Nelson, Isaac Roberts, Carl Born, 81.
o. Thompson, Fl. S. Eldred, A. 81.
Beebe, VIM. Buelow, A. G. Barney,
Leo Murphy and Martin Anderson.
The taking of evidence occupied the
greater part of this forenoon. The tes-
timony did not differ from that taken
in the first case. The witnesses for the
state were W. q. Hoerr, 81. E. Swan,
Evan E. Evans, A. G. Meyer, Geo.
Atchison, John W. Roberts and Ste
phen Therne.
The defense did not put on any evil
dence, and the case was argued before
the noon recess. The charge was given
this afternoon, and the jury retired at
l 30 p. m.
The suit of Journal Printing Co. of
Minneapolis against Geo. johnson and
P. A. Gunders went to trial this after
noon, B. G. Taylor appearing for the
plaintiff, and Jay Henry Long for Mr..
Johnson. The plaintiff claims that
Johnson, who had charge of its Man
kato circulation for time, was short
in his accounts and it asks for a
judgment for the amount. Mr.. Gun
ders was Johnson's bondsman. John
son denies that he was short, and
claims that he was not of age when
the contract was. entered into.
The next..case for trial is that of G.

case to be tried.

seemingly given to some extent by the
city authorities.
Judge Cray said that the two de-
PENDANTS were not, in his belief, the
only saloon keepers of the city who
were guilty of violations of the law.

AInr TIT nIInnI An
The Joke Is On a Local Attorney and
His Son,

The joke was on local attorney the
other night. He has been missing
wood and feed of late, and during the
night his son awoke him and told
him that team was at the barn and
he thought the burglar must be at
work. Both hastily donned their
clothing, secured fire arms, and ven
tured forth. The team was at the
barn and the two awaited some time
for the thief to come out laden with
plumber, when they planned to make
him a prisoner and take him to the
city hall in the wagon, after securely
binding him. As no one appeared,
9hey made closer investigation and
found that the team was runaway
that had become tangled in wire
fence by the barn.
