JAMESTOWN, N. D.-state's Attorney P.
M Mattson named the delegation to the state
convention IN the Eddy county republican
convention after hard fight. There have
been two factions in Eddy and q little over
year ago the Maddux faction sought to
have Mattson disbarred. The: attempt was
a failure and fight for the control of the
county resulted. Attorney Madduxt was a
candidate for attorney general Of the state,
and great efforts were made to secure the
county. The contest was one OF the most
bitter in the state this year. y
From present indications 1t is not unlikely
that the Stutsman county delegation will be
instructed for e. Y. sarles for governor.
There is strong sentiment in favor OF MIN
in Stutsman county. Il. #. -@ar

ugly mood. :, Their chief grievance. is that,
while most of the other tribes have been paid
