ART scoFiELD FOR SHERIFF

me PlaZa PlOneor contains the fOl-
lowing timely comment on the candi-
dacy Of Art SsoAeld for sheriff Of
Ward county:
There seems to be no doubt but
that Mr.. Art Sco1eld will be the
rcyrular favorite for sheriff. He is an
cid resident of North Dakota and has
made a friend - everyone he has
met in his long residence in the state.
He is one flthe halest, heartiest good
fellows that you will meet in a life
time. He always knows you and he
has no special election manners; he
is the same the year round. Mr.. SEQ
field was sheriff Of the county several
years ago, when the Office did MOI
pay much and when a. man took his
life in his hand when he went after
a pigger or a tough. He has repu-
.tation for getting his man. Jim john
son, who was states attorney for
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1908-06-04

twelve years, and who served part
Of his time while Mr.. Sconeld was
sheriff, said: Art Scofield made the
best sheriff Ward county ever had.
When he was sherini he got his man,
and he got the evidence to convict
him. We had practically no acquit-
tails in the pigger line. They were
convicted because Scofeld got the evil
denoe with the pigger and brought
the witnesses along. He saved Ward
county thousands Of dollars by get
ting the evidence that. was good"
Such a recomrn endation by Jim John
son is good enough for us.

1--WE Are King"

A. w. Cross is presenting three or
four plays this season that have
scored all sorts of success. He has
The Bishop" and I'VE Are King"
the latter being the bill at the Star
this week The leading part is play
ed by Edmund Carroll, who support
ed Walter Whiteside last season in
this play and who makes quite as
much of the dual part as did White
side. The Raven, mysterious man
In black, is played by Guy B. Kibbe,
Portland boy.
I'VE Are King" is one of the best
and cleanest comedies seen in Port
land for long, long time and while
having a suspiciously close resemb-
lance to "The Prisoner of Zenda,"
is yet different enough to save a
charge of plagiarism. A wandering
newspaper correspondent is found in
the grounds of tyrannical and des-
potic king of a small North German
state, and a scheme is hatched up to
exchange places with the king by
! his premier and other members OF
the court. The correspondent en-
ters into the conspiracy with great
enthusiasm and until he gets the
hang of being king makes some of
the most ludicrous mistakes imag
aginable. In the meantime the for
mer king languishes in an asylum
and as there is striking resem-
blance between the two men 1t is not
difficult for the arch conspirators 10
keep him there under the announce
ment that he has an hallucination
that he is the king, which of course
hc is.
The company is excellent, the
stage settings adequate and in one
scene elaborate and altogether I'VE
Are King" is put on and acted in
manner one expects at the high
priced theatres.
Probably. however, some of the
audience felt they were being
cheated with only a single pistol
shot during the whole performance.
