company Feared Proseeution.

The Dowling bill, it is said, gives
Mr.. Jerome power to summon witness
es and to proceed against the Western
Union, and it is believed that the de-
termined attitude of the district attor-
ney had its moral effect on the West
ern Union directors.
After recovering from their astonish-
ment the poOlroom men began their
plans for the continuance of their bust
ness. They found that things had
been made smooth for them, and by
means Of telephone connection with
Jersey City the service which was de-
MED to them here was supplied by that
indirect route There was no delay in
the delivery OF the news of the racing
east and west, and wagers were taken
as freely as ever.
Police raided the principal racing
news distributing station of the Ma
honey Bros. big racing syndicate in
East Forty street yesterday, ar
resting eleven Western Union telegraph
operators and taking possession Of
many telegraph and telephone instru-
ments.
These telegraph instruments, on
which was engraved wv. U. Tel. Co.,
were ticking and a man was reading
from one of the telephone wires Il de-
scription of the last race at Morris
park when the police burst into the
room. It's occupants made a wild rush
in several directions to escape, but
were caught and overpowered after 3
struggle.
Because the raid was the first one of
its kind ever made in New York and
followed so quickly upon the announce
ment made by the Western Union Tele-
graph company to the effect that it had
discontinued the reports of horse races
much importance was attached to the
arrests.
District Attorney Jerome, denouncing
the action of Mr.. Clowry, president OF
the Western Union, in cutting off loca
sporting news service as not wei
meant, said he would bring actor
against the Western Union, attempting
to prove that it has aided and abettec
the commission of a crime. If he sue
ceeds the company will be liable to &
fine Of $1,000 for each offense.

Raid After President cIowry's Order In
Which Alleged Western Union oper-
ators Are caUsht-Distriot Attorney
jerome Says Order Doesn't Count.
New York, May 1S.-Managers in
this city of alleged poolrooms and sub
scribers generally to telcgraphic re-
ports from the race tracks have found
themselves cut Off from the sporting
news service Of the Western Union
Telegraph company.
The assertion has been made as a re-
proach TO the directors and executive
chiefs of the Western Union company
that in this city there are 300 pool
rooms in operation in violation of law
receiving reports from the various race
tracks Of the country over the wires
Of that company, these reports fur
nishing the basis upon which the pool
rooms were enabled TO do business.
Recently President r. c. ClOwry said
in a signed letter addressed to Police
Commissioner McAdoO that if the lat
ter would furnish him with the adj
dresses Of poolrooms he would stop the
service of racing reports to them. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome and Captain f.
| Norton Goddard, the latter the head of
society for the suppression Of gam
bling, took the ground that the West
ern Union officials were evadng the
question, and in the last few days Dis
trict Attorney jerome has made threats
Of criminal DrOspcuffOn AGAINST dirppt-
ors and officials Of the Western Union
company if the service to poolrooms
was continued.

JAMES JOHNSON.

James Johnson. States Att, ",
was one of the first settlers OF
Ward county, and his record is
spotless for all that time. A man
OF tie common people, he has
proven himself a hard worker. a
forceful lawyer, and a terror to
evil doors. He has no friends or
enemies in his official duties. All
men with him are either law abid-
inc citizens or criminals.
No better estimate ofhis ability
as q lawyer can be gained than
from the results obtained by him
IN cases he has tried. Since the
October term OF court, 1900, his
record Of cases tried and convic-
lions has been as follows:

that he necessarily uses 1876 diff
fcrent legal blanks in his official
duties.
The character and fair mind
Eedness OF Judge Murray are SO
IsWell known and generally recog-
Enized that many persons, who
would otherwise be litigants,
simply meet and state their dit
ferences to the Judge, and his de
cision is taken as right, without
question. He undoubtedly saves
to- the people more than his
salary by the number OF cases
he causes to be settled out Of
court.
With all these duties, he is a
plain man-;l Ilaam of the people
and it will probably be IL long
time before the people are willing
to dispense with his services as Il
public official

in the courtsof Ward county'now
fsr nearly a year and a half. The
position was taken, on entirely

case. and he decidetlemphatically
Ethat Miss Frost was disqualified.

question ass to the legality OF the

the 1st of January. 1908, and
the work of this office has de-

salary OF $50 a month as deputy.
1t has been necessary for Miss
DAILY to work son etimes more
than 10 hours Il Gay to keep the

year beginning Jan. -. 1903,
and ending Jan. 8, 1904, Miss
DAILY has Travelled 5.S72 miles in

districts, etc. In that PERIOD, she
has visited practically all the
schools in the county, with the

written 3,612 letters. The a.

JUDGE WILLIAM MURRAY

Judge William Murray needs
no introduction to the voters OF
Ward county. He is one Of the
most popular and best known
men in the county. His various
duties bring him in contact with
all conditions OF men, and he is
able to hold his own with any
class.
He is the man who has to su-
pervise the settlement up OF all
estates of deceased persons-it
requiring from seven to twelve
months in each instance. He de-
termines and grants DEGREES of
heirship, commits insane persons
to the asylum, obtains grave
stones from the government for
deceased old soldiers, and super
intends the erection of the same,
grants letters of guardianship,
and keeps the wills of all persons
who so desire. He has issued in
the past two years 275 marriage
licenses, and performed more
marriage ceremonies than any
other person in the county. This
list forms only a small portion
of the many duties OF this officer,
but some idea Of his varied du-
ties, and of the amount OF talent
required to perform them, may
be obtained from the statement
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1904-04-20

No States Attorney in the
State of North Dakota can show
anything like SO great a per cent
oficonvictions as this, and yet he
has had some OF the ablest attor-
neys in the state against hin, in
many of these cases.
In other counties, particularly
the larger ones, assistants have
been employed by the County
Commissioners for the States
Attorneys, but this has been I'M
necessary in Ward county. and
Mr.. johnson has not asked for,
nor has he had, any assistant
employed even in the prosecu-
ton OF men charged with murder.
His sound legal advice and
practical common sense has al
ways been OF great assistance to
the County Commissioners, and
the county has, by his assistance
and advice, been kept absolutely
out Of litigation.

LOUIS A. LARSON

Louis a. LARSON, the County
Auditor Of Ward County. has ~
record OF wilicl he anay certainly,
be proud. 1t is hard to tell
whether he saves the county
more in the way OF clerk hire by
the amount OF work fe does HIM
self, or by the management OF
7the Office. but lac certainly does
lit in .some ways. HeMndouhted-
ly saves the County ..sany times
his OWE salary, and that OF his
Clerks. 10 give AN idea Of she
OF the increase OF business in his
Office, itneed only bestated that
while there were but seven pages
in the Collection Registerin 1907
and II pages in 1902. there We've
81 pages ia 1903 and 20 pages
in 1904. The valuation OF tax
able property in the Counts has
been as follows:
1907 81 $50 1863 90
1901 = 2lO $50 co
1s9 SO AZ 90
Land is not placed on the tax
list until it is proved up, bat
once it gets ON the list, it stays
on. Each year q great many asl-
sditional pieces of land are thus
placed on the tax list. In 1902
there were 1875 new tracts: in
1908 there were 1889 descrip-
items, and in 1904 there are
slbout 24OO new descriptions.
1t will thus be seen that
the work OF this Office has in
creased more than tive times
what is was in 1901. The ex-
penses of running this office for
each OF the years have been as
follows.
49,! s s sss s %
1903 81 u
And ia 1904 the expenses OF
this office will not exceed $500.
We do not believe that the
above record can be duplicated
in the State OF North Dakota.
In Counties in the Red River Val
ley. where there is not near SO
much work to bedone as in Ward
County, the County Auditors
have six and seven clerks each,
and these clerks work from 8 a.
m. to about 4 p. m. InMr. Lar
q, his office it is different. He
- Is two clerks ordinarily, and
three during the busy season.
IVhese receive about the same
k,alaries az those in the Valley
z Junties, but they work from 8
O'clock a. m. to six o'clock p. M,
and frequently return to their
work after supper. Go there
when you will, you will always
find the Office busy, but it is new
ertoO busy tostop togive atten-
ton to any little want that
anyone may have there, and the
information seekers have no
trouble to find out in a short
time exactly what is wantedfrom

JOHN LYNCH

John Lynch hats been Clerk Of
Court for Ward County for the
past ten years, and has done his
business faithfully and we'll. I'm
til recently, all the work OF this
Office has been attended to by
Mr.. Lynch personally: but at
present the amount Cd work re-
quired is too great for one man,
and a deputy has been employed
a part of the time. The deputy
has been paid by Mr.. l.ynch out
of his regular SALARY and costs
the county nothing. Something
of the amount of work Of this
office for the past few years may
be gained from the following
table:
Year ReRistered: liens filed:
1900 IS 81
1901 lQ4 -
3 1872 4: s 3,a
1904 (till April snly) IA. 100
- OF course the above work re-
quires practically no time, but it
indicates the increase in volume
of business in this office.
The work of this officer is not
so great in volume as that Of
some o hers, but the legal knowl-
e"ge and sound Judgment actual
lY required to till this office prob
ably exceeds that OF amy Office in
the gift of the people OF the conn-
ty. The clerk frequently has able
attorneys asking him to 90 the
opposite thing in a given case,
each insisting that this way is
the correct one. and he must 1T
his peril decide the questions
raised correctly. He also has to
prepare judgments aud eXecu-
tions frequently in complicated
cases. On the other hand, the
salary is so small that it is
doubtful ii any person would
move to Minot for it.
In many counties. judgments
and DEGREES OF the courts are
universally prepared by the dit
ierent attorneys, on account OF
the clerk S inability to do SO: but
in Ward county the bench and
bar have found a clerk in whom
they can and do trust. The fears
OF these parties that a less COM
petent person might be clerk in
case OF q change accounts for
Mr.. Lynch's long term Of service.

Comparatively few men are distln.
guished for habits OF neatness, yet none
can forgive lack OF IL In their wives.
Yet neatness Is one Of the rarest OF
feminine qualities. Early and persist
ent must be the training which carries
the girl into womanhood with her
bump of neatness" well developed.
Unless inherently fastldious during
school days she is liable to drift into
careless habits which she never out
grows. One girl may have a trick OF
leaving shoes about her room. AS a
mere tot she was permitted 10 do this,
and as she grew older the untidy Gus
tom was never abandoned, for the sim
pie reason that she herself did not no.
tice anything unusual about II, and
probably nobody else took the trouble
TO correct her. Without thinking any
thing about IL, some girls. otherwise
above reproach In their personal hab-
its, leave lunches of combings on their
dressing tables. while the combs them
selves are permitted to retain for days
at time their harvest OF dead hairs.
This Is one OF the habits which, when
carried into the matrimonial state,
send young husbands back TO their
clubs.
