1.-The above entitled action having been
brought to trial on the issue of law joined
herein, after hearing Messrs. o. T. STEM
wick, M. A. Spooner and M. j. Brown in
support of the demurrer, and Chester Nc
Kusick, attorney for the plaintiff, in
opposition, and carefully considering the
issue involved, .<<s-.:
1T is ordered, that said demurrer be
and the same is hereby sustained and
that judgment be entered for the defend
ant thereon; but with leave to the plain
tiff to amend the complaint within twenty
days.
September 18th, 1909.
&C. W. Stanton,
District judge"
Mem.
THE demurrer herein raises three
grounds of objection to the complaint
O that plaintiff has no legal capacity to
sue; (2) that there is defect of parties
plaintiff; and 60 that the facts stated do
not constitute a cause of action. am
unable to detect merit in either the first
or second ground stated, and in view of
the fact that neither was especially urged
by counsel, will pass to the considera-
ton of the contention that the facts
stated do not constitute cause of action.
1.-THE complaint presents these mater
ial allegations, which, under the demurrer,
are admitted to be true, namely: That
on or about the 18th day of November,
1902, pursuant to proceedings Heretofore
duly had, and under express statutory
authority, the Governor of the State of
Minnesota issued his proclamation de-
claring the creation of the County of
Clearwater from portion of the territory
heretofore comprised in the County of
Beltrami; that the total Indebtedness of
Beltrami county on that date was $751;
204.58, of which sum $53,204.58 was
floating Indebtedness represented by out
standing warrants, and $122,000.00 was
bonded indebtedness; that Beltrami county
then had in it's sinking fund $9,469.83;

DEMURRER I'm CLEARWATER
CASE SUSTAINED BY COURT
Contention of Judge Spooner Attorney for Clearwater
County, Sustained, in Case Instituted by Beltrami =
County.-Decision Will Be Appealed.

Judge c. w. Stanton has filed an
order sustaining the demurrer of
CT fwater county in the case of
Beltrami county VS.. Clearwater
county, wherein Beltrami county
seeks to recover approximately
$4,000 from Clearwater county,
which is claimed to be due as the
portion of the indebtedness which
Clearwater county should assume as
its share at the time the territory
which is now Clearwater county was
taken from Beltrami county and
organized as an independent county.
The demurrer was interposed by
Judge M. A. Spooner on behalf of
Clearwater county on the ground
that Beltrami county is not entitled
to maintain this kind of an action,
one of contribution, but that its
remedy should be that of mandamus
proceedings.
One point raised was that, even
conceeding that Beltrami county has
already received in value $4,000,
being the value of the county
property as appraised, and has only
advanced $65,0O0, so that Beltrami
county is not in a position to re-
claim for what it has not already
advanced.
In arguing against the demurrer,
County Attorney McKusick, for
Beltrami county, commended that
while mandamus proceedings was
the proper remedy in this case, yet
the remedy resorted to in the present
complaint is also proper.
In granting the demurrer, Judge
Stanton gave leave to the plaintiff to
amend the complaint within twenty.
days.
County Attorney McKusick stated
TODAY that he would serve notice of
appeal to the supreme court from
Judge Stanton's order sustaining the
demurrer to the complaint, so that
the matter will undoubtedly be before
the supreme court at the next term.
Judge NJ. A. Spooner of this city
prepared the brief in the case of
Clearwater county and submitted
the argument for the demurrer.

Especial to Bemidji Daily Pho
neer. "A slight change is shown
in the condition of Governor John

siderably during the night, having

an even chance for recovery.
His inability to retain anything
but water, causes some uneasiness.
The last bulletin gives the pulse
102, temperature SO, and respiration
81.
DR.. McNevin explained that the
high respiration is due to the dis
tention caused by gas. 1t is, of
course, a symptom that causes some
anxiety, but it is not necessarily
grave. ..
DR.. Charles H. Mayo called at
the governors room and after leav-
ing expressed the opinion that the
governor was somewhat better.
None of the physicians, however,
feel that Governor johnson is. yet
out of grave danger.

given); Chilgren, Wayne Knight.
The Villages of Island Lake, Solway
and Fowlds have no say in this mat
ter as they are not separate election
districts.
As possible successor to Mr..
Sibley, the names of three men have
received mention, those being w.
R. Mackenzie, the well-known sec.
rotary of the Beltrami county Agri
cultural association; w. A. easier
of Grant Valley and Charles Saxrud
of Fowlds, proprietor of the hotei
and saloon at Fowlds and who has
previously served on the county

Mr.. Danaher represented the Fifth

At l p. m. today, County Auditor
Wilmann announced that he had set
Monday, October 18th, as the date
when the meeting of the mayor of
Bemidji and the presidents of the
village councils and chairmen of
town boards will be held at the
court house to select successors to
the deposed commissioners.
Mr.. Wilmann also stated that he
was not certain if the village presi-
dents of Fowlds, Solway and Island
Lake were entitled to vote in select
ing "a commissioner to succeed Mr..
Sibley, or not; that he would serve
them with notices to appear, and the
legality of their participation in the
election could be decided at the
meeting.
Will any attempt be made to
oppose the enforcement of the order
of Governor Johnson removing from
Office A. w. Danaher, F. O. Sibley
and Yves Wright, county commits
sioners of Beltrami county? and if
there is no opposition to the order,
and the removal holds good, who
will be the successful candidates to
succeed these gentlemen?
This question is the all-absorbed
topic of discussion among those who
take an active interest in the public
affairs of this county and while the
question is much-mooted, there is
said to be those who would not be
adverse to Jump into the breach"
and taking the dilemma by the
horns" and assisting in putting the
county on a solid, substantial basis
and allaying any possible nervous
ness that might permeate the sys-
tenn of the overwhelmed taxpayers
relative to the conducting of the
affairs of the county.
The district represented by Mr..
Wright includes the City of Bemidii,
Village of Nymore and Town of
Northern. While candidates are
not very numerous for a possible
successor to Mr.. Wright, still there
are several men of ability who have
said that they would accept the
Office if it was rendered to them.
1t is the general impression that
whoever is chosen to succeed Mr..
Wright should be we'll qualified
from business standpoint to handle
the affairs of the district in an eff
Gent and economical manner.
The successor to Mr.. Wright will
be chosen by the mayor of the City
of Bemidji, J. P. Pogue; the presi-
dent of the village council of Nymore,
O. ]. Tagley, and the chairman of
the board of supervisors of the Town
of Bemidji, August Jarchow.
