that one ]. Mortensen had been
in the habit of periodical sprees,
in which he became very abusive
to his family. Not long since
he got on one of these sprees and
proceeded to clear the ranch.
His wife took refuge with Il

community feeling that kind of
workgone on longenough decided
totake thelaw into theirownhands
with the view of meeting out adj
equate punishment for the occa-

decided upon. A dozen or more,
of some the best citizens visited
him last Thursday night and adj
ministered fifty two lashes, with
a whip. AS result Regulators
were brought into Judge Armours

An Election Necessary

The decision Of the Supreme
court in declaring the biennial
law unconstitutional makes it
necessary to hold an election this
fall. The entire list Of county
officers, except Register OF Deeds,
Clerk of the District Court,
County Attorney and County
Assessor are to be elected.
From present indications there
will be plenty of candidates for
the several offices. Republicans
with one exception are now hold
ing these Offices and if proper
care is taken in the nomination
of their successors there is no
reason why the republican party
may not elect their ticket.
There are plenty of men in the
ranks of the republican party who
are strong and capable to fill the
several Offices with credit to them
selves and the county. 1T such
men are selected to fill these
places by the convention their
election is certain.
