LATEST REGULATION RELATING
N TO FINAL PROOFS.

By a recent circular the general
land office has rescinded the order
prescribing certain schedule dates on
which final proofs shall be made be-
fore certain offices, other. than the
local land offices, at. which special
agent shall be present. in the inter-
est of the government. Hereafter
claimants may make proof before any
officer qualified to take final proofs
and on any date that may be fixed by
the local land office, regardless of
the convenience of the special agents.
Ut mas been found impractical to con-
Elnue the schedule system, because
there are not enough special agents
provided for to cover the field, and
the result has worked great delay and
inconvenience to claimants and their
witnesses.
The effect Of the recent order will
be to restore the conditions existing
Two Years ago. Claimants will not
be urged specially to make proof
before the local land officers, but
may make proof before more accessi-
Die officers nearer their homes and
at less expense. Special agents will,
however, make such reports in rela-
tion to final proofs as the circum-
stances, and their Investigation and
Information may justify and all Off
ss,Ts taking final proofs are charged
nth the greatest caution in relation
sAsreto and will be expected to OBJ
sEafn from claimants and their witness
~ss accurate, complete and comprehen-
siye Information-espec as to the
mature and value of all improvements
and the specific dates of absences, If
amy for the use of the local land
officers and the department in pass
Ing judgment on the proofs. ~
The new order will be welcomed

make final proof during the next
few years. as under the former order
there was much delay and expense

ing benefits to the government.

ASSISTANT STATES ATTORNEY
OF HIGHLAND COUNTY GOES II

TACKLES THE BOSS PIGGER, WHO,
RUNS THE TOWN, AND I
THERE'S TROUBLE. =

Nahpeton, N D., July 31-One of
lie worst towns in the state to govern
is Lidgerwood. After Governor
Eurke's term began they reported
Lidgerwood closed town until the
temperance commissioner law was
declared invalid. Then they began
with renewed vigor But change
has been made in the states attorn-
ey's office of Richland county. George
Z. Wallace was appointed assistant
states attorney and Lidgerwood was
assigned him to take care Of.
The ruling power in Lidgerwood is
one Henry Burke, who has served
time in the Richland county Jail for
violating the liquor laws. He owns
a large portion of the real proper
ty of the town and most of the peo-
pie. He is the person, who furnishes
the brains and money to deal in the
illegal traffic and who takes care of
Tie profits. ~,~-.s- .:re.t-. u.s.-4
g. ernor Burke has given his name
sake special attention and has given
Me- Wallace instructions in the case.
These two latter gentlemen are warm
friends and the former has absolute
confidence in rhe latter. His wishes
will be carried out 20 the letter.
It seems that success has not
crowned the efforts of the sheriff
yEenever sent to Liigerwood to catch
Henry Burke. There was always
something wrong. Assistant States
Attorney Wallace procured the Ser
vices of County Constable Henry Ras.
musson of Wahpeton to do his work
for him. Last Saturday he was told
to go to Lidgerwood. He went, tax.
ing with him Frank Little of Wynd-
mere and they made raid. On MAX
ing search they found liquor. slot
machines, poker chips. etc. Constable
Rasmussen left Little in charge of
the place while he went to get a dray.
On returning he found a house full
of thugs and FOUNDERS, who immed-
lately overpowered the officers and
wrecked the saloon and stole the
slot machines, intending to destroy
all evidence against the place. One
Of the police force of Lidgerwood was
there when the trouble started and
instead of assisting, he walked
away. s.>. .r,....> ->-.
Henry Burke made a trip to Wah-
peton to hire counsel and to inter-
view Wallace TO see about fixing it
up" The interview was heard by
people out in, the street in which it
is stated that Wallace got his Scotch
up and told Burke that no quarter
would be asked nor received, but it
would be fought to a finish.
1t is said in Richland county that
any man who attempted to cleans up
the places kept by Burke would be
dead duck politically.
The public will watch the contest
with interest. If Wallace succeeds
he will not be politically dead, but
| ;s'ill be in line for promotion. There
are too many good people in Rich
land county to allow such an element
