The Aberdeen collector Of internal
revenue on the 9Th inst, under advice
of May 8th, from Washington, again
refuses to furnish County Auditor
Healy with list Of liquor licenses. He
still holds that the lists can only be
secured through states attorneys or
other peace officers. States Attorney
Wineman of Grand Forks, has had
some correspondent on this matter
which seems to be of later date AMI
the whole thing indicates that the de-

proposition and doesn't exactly agrae
with itself from day to day. Il is be-.
lieved the whole matter will be made
plain in a few days.
