| county $4,000. Robert Lloyd was ar
rested and tried and convicted and the
county got judgment against him
and he was let go. What the good of
the judgment is we are unable to IN
derstand unless Lloyd Is worth it. The
case cost the county $18.55.
Now comes the second act in the
great melodrama of "Siver the Great,
William Riley detective worked hard
on the Mary Haight case, in fact, he
had hell of time" with the coun-
tvs money. He purchased all kinds
of beer and whiskey as he says, and
boarded at the. best hotel and was
good fellow. Silver and the county
taxpayers were back of him and he
acted the part of a regular spendthrift
for few days and it cost the county
only the small sum of $65.4O. Then
Silver helped his friend Prof. Babcock
! out by sending him several specimens
of malt and other beverages and it
cost the county $1,000 to have them
analysed. About this time the salary
of the States Attorney was raised to
$125.0O month and a few more priv
i eleges went with it. Then a warrant
! was sworn out for D. E. Darlington
on the charge of obtaining money un-
der false pretense. Where was the de-
, tective. Why didn't he find the same
harrington. Mr.. Riley was probably
at the hotel supping from a bottle of
malt and the county paying him for
doing so while the sheriff was out look
ing for Darlington. Well they didn't
find Darlington and it cost the county
$48.65. Then Hugh Mcmillan was ar
rested on the charge of Grand Larceny
and he was discharged on account of
not sufficient evidence to convist him.
| This cost the county $17.15. Then
Mary Rustom had Edwin Elk arrested
on the charge of grand Larceny and he
| was discharged, because there was no
| evidence. This was $31 go more added
| to the expense of the county. About
| here Mr.. Riley the detective was get
ting in his work again and some more
expense was added to the county. An
other warrant for the arrest of John
Joyce ct al on the charge of grand lar
ceny was issued and the defendants
! were not found but just the same
bill was added to the large number
| already paid by the county. Where
! was your Sherlock Holmes Silver?
Joseph Jilik had Martin Foyer arrest
ed on the charge of threatening to kill
, The case was dismissed and it cost
the county $3.50. Mathew Wiener was
up before the court on the charge of
malicious mischief and he was dis
charged and it cost the county $500.
Then he had some more trouble for
using obscene language and he was dis
charged on the charge also and it only
cost the county $3.50 Then Mr. Riley
lie detective whom the county paid an
enormous salary hung around and
brought in all kinds of complaints
and the bills were rolling into the
county but Silver still determined to do
something desperate kept Mr.. Riley
at he good CD work that he was do
ing and kept the county paying him
for work that the sheriff of the county
is paid salary for doing.
Then Charley Martin was in the
tolls for burgelry and he was dismiss
ed on the motion of the states attor-
ney when he saw that it was impos-
sible to prosecute him. 1t cost the
county $22.15. Then Silver made an.
Devils Lake inter-ocean and Devils Lake free press. (Devils Lake, Ramsey County, N.D.) 1905-1909, 1908-10-23

other one of his pleasure trips to Ed
more, Brocket and other places on in
$32. 40 was turned in and we are unable
to find where anything happened after
this investigation. Some hot air and
hell of time" On the order of
States attorney $3.50 was paid out to
F. w. Stutz for detective work and
making investigation at Churchs Fer
ry, Bartlett, Doyon and Crary. Silver
again acted the part of good fellow
and advanced $500 to the detective
and he had a good time. Another one
of these sleuths was making investi
cations at Brocket and Crazy and he
put in bill of $25:00 to the county
1t seems that Silver has liking for
these detectives and kept a. number
of them busy at the expense of the
county. Then $120.10 was paid to the
McNulty detective agency for work
done by Francis H. Dillon on the AL
bert Johnson, and Oswold Goldner
cases and by the way Goldner was dis
charged. Silver again came to the
rescue and advanced $500 to start
the boys out right and encourage
them. Then Prof. Babcock at Grand
Forks got his hook in for $14.30 for
expert testimony. Some more expense
for the county.
1t cost the county $1345 to try to
prosecute John Michael on the charge
of assault and battery. He was dis
charged an attorney with a good keen
judgment cound have seen this and
saved this expense to the county by
considering the case before a war
rant was issued. Robert Oliver had
a grievence and went to the states at
torney to have Leslie Thompson and
others arrested for malicious mischief
and the warrant book was quickly
brought into play and Thompson was
arrested and had a trial. "HE WAS
DISCHARGED" But it cost the county
$23.S5. Now Mr.. taxpayer are you 60
ing to vote for man who wastes your
money in such a manner? w. A. Par
ker had Harley Wallace arrested on
the charge of threatening to COM
NIT crime and Wallace was discharg-
ed. Some more fish law. 1t was
$43.05 more added to the county for
nothing.
Along comes another case for Prof
Babcock for examining specimens of
malt $1,000 During the past July Mr.
| Cady another detective had a good
time on the expense Of the county.
For six full days he stood up. to the
bar or soda fountain, spent money
lavishly on malt, beer, whiskey, Gig
arettes and in fact the entire six days
that he was engaged for he treated
every body that he saw and put a little
bill of S62.90 into the county. Silver
again played the part of the good Sa-
Iudl lLdu duu Hclp Out Will %lo.VV.
Edward Murphy was up for attempt
ing to shoot Anthony Maher and it
cost the county $3.50 and Murphy
was discharged. Then came another
case which was a hummer as far as
expenses is concerned. B. J. Ness
was arrested for Illegally shooting
ducks. He was discharged. It cost
the county $4,000 in all and Mr.. Ness
| only got two ducks in the bargain
but he shot from the water and
was not standing in the boat y
| Now Mr.. Taxpayer have you ever
given it a thought as to where the
vast amount of money that is spent
each year is going to. Mr.. Serum.
gard spent his share of it and if elect.
ed will probably take more liberties
than he has in the past.
