CHARGES ARE AIRED
Governor Hears Arguments in
Carr Ditch Case.

Gov. S. r. Van SAINT yesterday heard
arguments on the complaint filed some
months since by ]. ]. Sutton, of Co
lumbus, Wis, a taxpayer of Marshall
county, Minnesota, charging Greeley
E. Carr, county attorney of Marshall,
with criminal conspiracy to defraud
the county in a county ditch contract.
The evidence taken by two commits
sioners was filed with the governor
two weeks ago. Sutton, appearing as
his own attorney, and Senator Ripley B.
Brewer, of st. Cloud, for the defend
ant, argued the case during almost the
entire day before the governor.
The case was taken under advise
1nent by the governor, who will have
the assistance of Attorney General w.
j. Donahower in digeSting the legal
propositions involved before rendering
a decision. 1t was said at the capitol
yesterday that to secure the removal
of Carr from his Office as county at
torney of Marshall county, conspiracy
must be proved, and that under the
Minnesota statutes this cannot be
done, as the law does not provide for
his Office having any official control
over contracts or contractors.
Bidders Bought OF.
The charges grew out of the letting
of a contract April "a, 1902, for a ditch
from the Great Northern line to Snake
river, in Marshall county, and it was
admitted that while the contract had
been awarded to Thomas Sanderson, of
Stephen, at less than the engineers es-
innate, John E. Ostrom, of Warren,
had received $500; James Kennedy, of
Fargo, had been given $500; D. Lana
han, of Thief River Falls, 5000; Thorn
as Smith, of Crookston, 5000, and Will
liam Barnard, of Crookston, $500, in
consideration of their not bidding for
the work. Sanderson had signed a
note at a Stephen bank for $4,000, and
81, zoe realized from the note had been
distributed among the several bidders.
1t is claimed that Carr, with A. c.
Reinhart had been a silent partner in
the ditch deal Carr admitted a con-
nection with the contract, but said he
had no official connection as county
attorney, with the making of the
award; that his official functions had
ceased before the making of the
award. The evidence, however, shows
that he drew the contract and the bond
of the successful contractor.
The attorney for the accused official
declared before the governor that no
where in the law is the county attorney
given official connection with ditch
contracts, and that therefore there
had been no criminal conspiracy. 1t
was admitted that such connection.
however, was against public policy.
James A. Peterson, of Mimi eapolis,
is the attorney of record for Sutton,
but his client said yesterday that Pc
terson was busy at home in the guber-
material campaign.
The parties spent the entire day on
the case.

The body Of James McKequen, who
was drowned In the Minnesota river
Monday, was recovered Wednesday.
Coroner Kramer, Of Dakota county,
held an inquest. and the verdict was
that the man came to his death by
accidental drowning. 1t has been re-
ported that the accident was due to
defects in the boat. but ii was appar-
ent to the coroner, according to the
evidence, that the accident was due
wholly to a stampede of the six horses
on the boat. A passing train fright
ened the horses and they-becanle un-
manageable. McKequen was kicked
in the stomach by one of the horses
while in the water and was unable to
save himself. The boat was Fighted a
few hours after the fatality.

The state drainage board, consisting
of Gov. Van SAINT, State Auditor liver
son and Secretary of State Hanson,
held meeting at the state capitol yes
terday and awarded four contracts for

gate cost of $4,000. There were a

Rivers ditch in Kfttsen county was let

Wilder; the Grand Marie ditch in Pope
county to John Kohler at lax cents;
the Gum lake ditch in Aitkin county
to d. N. Falfxner at 15 cents, and the
New SoluIn ditch in Marshall county to

SMITH MEETS SMITH
Mayor Declines to Invite Others
to Hear Minister.

Rev. S. G. Smith, pastor of the Peo-
pies church, yesterday spent some
time inviting city officials to attend
his church Sunday evening, when he
VIII preach on Vital Questions in City
Government" and incidentally failed to
induce Mayor Smith to issue an invi-
tatien to the other officials.
Il would like to have you come. ~
said DR.. Smith to the mayor, "and
would also be pleased if you would
send invitations to all the other city
officials. Seats will be reserved for
them"
st am very sorry" said the mayor,
''but my secretary is very busy at this
time, and it would be asking too much
to order him to write to the different
officials"
But would like to have you come, -
insisted DR.. Smith, land if say any
thing against you it will be no worse
than what 1 will say against Others -
DR.. Smith said nothing further, but
he showed that he was offended, hav-
ing evidently expected that the inVi-
tations would be issued by the mayor.
The minister stated that he proposed
to discuss the city administrations that
have existed during the past several
years.
IF he had come to me I would have
issued the invitations" said City Clerk
Redington in discussing the matter
later. ut is the practice for me to
issue such invitations from this Office
1t will be remembered that at ore
time in the campaign it was announced
from the Republican campaign com
mittee that DR.. Smith had agreed to
take the stump for the Republican
ticket, and the Republicans are very
much disturbed, believing that DR..
Smith will on Sunday evening give his
reasons for refusing to do so.
AS he left the mayors Office DR..
Smith stopped and said:
''There is one city official that I will
not invite to be present. He agreed
to give $50 towards the reconstruction
of my church and later repudiated the
agreement. A seat viii be reserved
for him, but I will not ask him to
come"

Although every American knows he
can be a postmaster and would like to
try, few patriots are sufficiently in
formed to know whether other men are
making good postmasters. Only five
candidates announced themselves the
other day when notice was published
that an examination would be held
for the choosing of posteffice inspect
ors. And when this examination was
held yesterday at the federal building
only two of the five candidates ap-
peared. Yet the salary of postoffice
inspector ranges from $1,000 to $500
a year, with an addition of 81 a day
for travelling expenses whenever the
inspector is officially on the wing.

On tomorrow the Republicans
of Tyler county will hold their
primary election. The successful
candidates will be placed upon
the ticket this fall. In that same
primary the voters OF this county
will have an opportunity of say
ing who shall represent them IN
the next Senate for four years.
Sistersville has a candidate III
the person Of Robt. l.. Gregory.
Mr.. Gregory not only has always
been an ardent and fighting Re-
publican. but has labOred for his
party and the people when others
failed to respond. He has made
the most active and impressive
campaign ever waged in the State
speaking at thirty-fve different
appointments. Last night he
closed his tour Of the county in
Union district, and addressed a
large and enthusiastic audience.
Gregory will be elected by a
large majority, and should be.
He is entitled to the honor, not
only from the people Of this city
but from the farmers. oil people
and the party. Some may ask
what Gregory has done to merit
the position. We will say now
that there are 50 many different
reasons why we should send him
