Pinney's downfall in this city is
largely attributed to wine and lewd

have been a constant admirer. He is
of a worthy and honored family. and
his shortcomings are more deplored
than ridiculed by those who knew him
best.

PURE FOOD LAW.
1t May Give Opportunity to Prohibit
the Sale Of Beverages Not Strictly


intoxicating.
The several states attorneys of the
states have had their attention called
to the new pure food law, passed at
the recent session of the legislature.
and the duties mapped out for the
states attorneys called to their atten-
ton. 1t has long been known that i'm
pure foods have been dumped into the
state from many sources. and it is ey-
pected that a vigorous campaign will
be instituted against such manufac-
turers. Another matter that will be
given attention will be impure bever-
ages. In a number of cases through
out the state efforts have been made
to bar the sale of certain beverages
through the prohibition law. but with.
out avail, and it is figured that the
pure food law will make it an easy
matter to prohibit the sale of beyer-
ages that if lot sold for intoxicants
have the desired effect in that direc-
ton.

U. S. Court Commissioner at Minot Re.
ported by the Optic to Be Several
Thousand Short.
Minot Optic: Recently a number of
commissions extended to U. s. Com
missoners in North Dakota have been
revoked by the federal authorities of
the state and an investigation into the
cause of removal of these officers, and
the names of the parties so removed,
disclosed the fact that f. B. Pinney is
one of the members who have been
relegated to the real by the powers
that control owe the appointment and
function.
Pinney has been a resident of this
city for some time and was engaged
in the practice Of land and law bust
ness. He was appointed a United
States Commissioner a year ago. or
more. through the efforts in his behalf
of numerous friends here, and he be-
gan the discharge of the duties coupled
with that Office. To the surprise of
many OF his admirers and ardent sup
porters, it has recently developed that
he abused the confidence repased in
him by his friends and the government
and pursued the wrong course as an
official vested with the rights and priv.
ileges of a u. s. Commissioner.
These rights grants the Ofhcers SO
empowered. to receive moneys for the

tice of taking money from prisoners who

comment as to the .propriety of the consul
general giving such certificate and criti-
cising the action of the Saxon government.
Mr.. Cole gave the letter because he be-
ieved DIR. OBrian was innocent, and he
did not suppose ii would be published. The
Saxon court Is so sensitive about every
thing referring to the case of the former
crown princess that an exaggerated view is
likely. to be taken of Mr.. Coles expression
