the domination for states attorney with
out any hitch. Next came the county
surveyorship and as it wds getting late
this was handed over to the G. .}mmittee
For coroner there was no opposition TO

MILAN and Com'r Peter Reid.
Senator Laldlaw placed in nomination
his colleague, Hon. Henry Mclean, as
his successor, the finishing touches being

to fill vacancies. So there still. remains

committee of manipulators.

the father of Cavalier county.
