Hankinson, Oct. 10.
Editor of TINES:
A week or two ago we noticed
an article in the Lidgerwood
Broadaxe praising the admin
istration of A. J. Nelson as Reg
lister of Deeds. The article went
on to state that Mr.. Nelson had
saved the County thousands of
dollars by running the Office
short of clerk hire. It 10 true
he has turned over some money
to the County Treasurer over
and above the running expen-
ses of the Office. What did it
cost the tax payers and farmers
of the county to have him turn
over this money! Everyone
who has had occasion to bor-
row money on real estate will
remember the long wait before
they could get their money.
When a person desired to
make a loan on his land to pay
up the old one, he was required
to sign new mortgage and it
was sent in to the Register of
Deeds Office for record and he
-could not get the money until
the mortgage was recorded
and returned. At the same
time he was paying interest on
the old mortgage aud also on
the new loan. How much did
Mr.. Nelson's economy cost the
borrower?
How many business men
have received money that
farmers owed them, the debt
having been secured by chat
tel mortgage and to accomo-
date the farmer have sent it in
to the Register of Deeds. The
next time the farmers came to
town he would ask the bust.
ness man for his mortgage.
The business man would be
compelled to say "The Regis
ter of Deeds has not yet re
turned it tc me-" The farmer
would 90 out and meet his
neighbor and would discuss
the matter with him and, of
course, the blame would be put
on the business man. Chattel
mortgage releases have lain in
the Office of the Register of
Deeds for six weeks before the
mortgages have been released.
Mr.. Nelson tells how he and
the deputy did ALL the work
a great part of the summer.
He neglects to state that ALL
the summer work is not yet
done. He does not tell that
the tract indices, the most i'm
portant book in the Office, have
not been kept up since August
lst. That the grantee and
grantor indices have not been
written up for for some time.
If any one wants to look up the
title to lands or lots he will
have to run through several
pages on the reception book be-
fore he can be sure that he has
seen anything that is recorded,
and as the reception book is
not compared tits not a reliable
source of information.
Now, Mr.. Voter, do you wish
this condition of things to con-
tinue7 Is not a public Office

of the public and not money

La Porte, Ind, Nov. 13.-The defense
III the Lamphere murder trial in its
EFFORT to prevent certain information
going to the jury suffered its first de-
feat today, when Judge Richter ruled
that the report Of the ycoroners verdict
was admissible as primary evidence
The ruling followed exhaustive areu-
ments by the attorneys for the state
and for Lamphere.
The jurors looked fresh and alert
when they entered court today after
their first nights confinement on the
third floor of the court house. They
had enjoyed walk, breakfast at n
hotel and read morning papers from
which all reference to the trial HAD
been expunged.
The defendant looked paler than on
yesterday. He was unnerved consider
ably during the opening; statement by
Prosecutor Smith of yesterday and to!
day looked as though he had not slept

Smiths statement was very strong but
there is nothing in the claim that

morning"
Coroner Mack was the first witness
on the stand. He was quite uncertain
about his answers at times. He testi-
fed to the finding OF the bodies in the
ruins and said that one was that of an
adult female and the other three were
those of children

animation for the state,
Mr.. Mack testified that In addition
to the bodies he found a, number: of
bones in the ruins, including piece Of
human vertebrae, a part of a large

yerrebrae was the seventh vertebrae.
The bones which had been sealed in q

A piece OF, charred cloth taken from
the palm OF one of the hands was also
offered in evidence and identified by the

titled the report of the inquest which
