Barrett. the chairman of the commit
tee to conduct the count
The last few hours of the contest
were exciting, and some splendid
work was done by the contestants,
some of Anderson county's prettiest
and brightest young ladies'. Not only
did the candidates work for them
selves but they enlisted an army OF
co-workers, and the most vigorous
campaign for Herald subscribers was
made that has ever been made in the
history of the paper, and the results
were telling. 1t was a great contest,
and has been a perfectly fair one in
every way. The Herald is very proud
of the young ladies who took SO active
an interest in the work, and only re
grets that several Of them could not
win a first prize. As the figures be
low show, Miss Annie Broyles won
the piano, the first prize, and the
young lady gets beautiful instru-
ment, and the Herald hopes 1t will
give her as much pleasure to receive
and own it as it does the paper good
to give It. Miss Ora Scarborough was

argument was made by Judge Enge-

the appointment of Judge Burr by
Gov. John Burke was unconstitutional.
Judge Engerud was followed by At

championed the appointment for
Judge Burr, made the next argument.
and Attorney A. NJ. Christianson of
Towner, closed with arguments in
favor of ousting the judge.
The argument related to three feat.
ures of laws passed by the legislature
last winter. one creating the Ninth ju-
dicial district, another creating the
Tenth district and the constitutional
ty of paragraphs and 5 of the bill
creating the Ninth district.
The paragraphs referred to provide
that the district shall not be fact un-
til Jan l, 1909, and the Judge shall be
elected at the election in November,

North Dakota Supreme Court Hears Argument-Case In
volving License Statute Is in Three Courts.

After hearing arguments in the
cases of Judge Burr of the Ninth dis
trict in the custer proceedings brought
against him and receiving an applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus in the
case of R. c. Flaherty of McCanna, ac-
cused of violating the law in failing to
advertise and report his liquor license,
the supreme court of North Dakota adj
journed the special session held at
Grand Forks.
Flaherty was released under bond
and States Attorney Wineman. who
opposes the granting of the writ, and
Judge Engerud, who favors it, will file
briefs within ten days, so that the
matter can be disposed of before any
great length of time.
Flaherty's case was in three courts
during the day. He waived examina-
ton before Judge Church and was
held to the district court. Judge
Templeton of the district court declin-
ed to honor writ of habeas corpus
asked on the ground that the law is
uncon stitutional and application was
mad. 60 the supreme court late in the
afternoon.
The case involves the constitutional.
ity of the law requiring all dealers of
malt and intoxicating liquor of all
kinds to publish the fact that they
po;sess a government license in the
newspapers and pay fee of SO to the
city or county auditor. In the case
pending the malt interests are fighting
