kenmare's Residents Look Up Arsu-
ments for Dividing Ward County.
Former County Treasurer ]. G.
Mitchell Of -Kenmare is at work at
the court house at Minot securing
data in the support of the contention
of the citizens of Kenmare that Ward
county should be divided.
Mr.. Mitchell is going over the books
of the county auditor and the county
treasurer in search of facts which he
believes will show that division of
the county will be in the interest of
the taxpayer.
Mr.. Mitchell said to-day that one
of the facts divulged is that the coro-
ner of Ward county last year was
obliged to travel $4,000 miles in the
performance of his duties.
The fees for making the returns in
the last primary election were some
thing over $1,000.
These and other facts, Mr.. Mitchell
says, will be tabulated and presented
to the voters of the county before the
next election.

Mrs. Belle Johnson, who is accused of
blind pigging." Mrs. johnson and her
husband were arrested few months

hearing that it was his wife and not
himself who sold the beer He claimed
to have no interest in the business.
He admitted selling malt, however, and
was relying on the guarantee of the
manufacturer for protection. The malt
was analysed and found TO contain al.

NEWS OF THE SLOPE
DECISION IN BLIND PIG CASES.
Supreme Court Says Proceedings in
Morton County Were Regular.

u
Morton County Were Regular.
The supreme court has handed
down the long and anxiously waited
for decision in the Morton county
blind pig cases, deciding for the state.
The cases attracted much interest
at the recent term of court in this
county when grand jury refused to
indict when in the opinion of the court
sufficient evidence to indict had been
produced, and another grand jury was
summoned which later brought in
nearly thirty indictments. The attor-
neys for Fred Zeinn, one of the in.
dicted men, applied to the supreme
court for writ of certcrari to prevent
the trial of his case IN the Barnes
county court to which it had been
transferred by Judge Burke upon afi-
dayit of the states attorney that fair
trial could not be had in Morton
county.
The court holds that the Judge act
ed within his power, and trial will be
held at Valley City shortly.
In the other case Zeinn's attorneys
attacked the validity of the discharge
of the first and the drawing of the
second grand jury and the means en-
ployed in summoning some and raised
other points in reference to it.
The supreme court holds there were
no grounds shown by the applicants
for the issuance of the writ of prohi-
bition, as the district court has full
Jurisdiction to discharge the grand
jury and call another when convinced
the first was violating their oath, and
sustains ell acts of Judge Burke in
the matter.
The decisions apply to all the cases.
It is understood that If defendants
are convicted an appeal will be taken
to the supreme court on other
grounds.

Minnesota Society Of Equity Discusses
Grievances,

st. Paul, Jan. 1G. - There may be
honest commission men in this state,
but the Minnesota branch of the Amer
lean Society of Equity for farmers has
not been able to find even one. At
least that is what the members said
at their special meeting in the old cap
itol yesterday, and that is why they
recommend organization among the
farmers throughout the state whereby
cooperative shipping exchanges may
be established and farming products
shipped and handled by farming inter.
ests.
1t was the sentiment of the associa.
ton that the farmers to get square
deal must have their own shipping ex-
changes.
