furnishings. and the house itself was
taken under mortgage foreclosure.
Morse declared when liberated that he
was going to work to rehabihtate his
lost fortune just as Il there was no SEN

JURY Is DRAWN IN
BURLEIGH COUNTY
CHARGES AGAINST COUNTY COM.
MIssloNERs AND AUDITOR TO
RE INVESTIGATED.

Bismarck, N. ID. Nov. sY.--A special
grand jury was drawn by the jury COM
missioners OF the county today and will
convene on Tuesday. The jury was
drawn at the order Of Judge w. Fl
Winchester on the written request OF
the attorney general and Is composed
or the following: Milan Ward, Gabriai
Thor. n. O. Bailey, John Lash, %. A..
Hubbell William Sunderland, r. c.
Smith. Thomas Flanagan, IT, c. Nelson,
Ole Sather. ole Johnson. W. e. Auxier,
G. r. Robertson. M. Wolf. w. F. Hea-

l.. Moline, Ed. Anderson. Jacob Ensz,
Anton Bier. John Kierlan and George
McAuley. The majority OF the mem
bers come from Burleigh county, out
side of the city Of Bismarck
The grand jury il called for the spe-
cial purpose of taking action upon the
report Of the state examiners office,
ana upon its deliberations will depend
whether indictments for what are
largely technical offenses will be found
against r.. @. Patterson, w. H. Webb
and John Ecklund, county commission
ers, and l. w. Healy. auditor OF Bur-
leigh county. There are no particular
charges in the report OF the examiner
except Irregularities In the manner OF
doing business.
Gist Of Charges.
1t is charged that the auditor has
been accustomed to have county war
rants dashed without the Endorsement
Of receipt OF the drawees and to for
ward the cash to the persons in whose
favors the warrants were drawn.
The auditor says this was done at the
written or verbal request Of the draw
ees and that in every case the money
went where 1t was intended 1t should
go.
The charges against the commission
ers are for letting contracts for sup
plies without advertising, as the law
requires; for drawing mileage and per
diem without itemized bills, and, in
the case of one commissioner, for buy
ing goods from his own mercantile
establishment and auditing the bills in
payment
Second Jury In Two Years.
With the sitting of the grand Jury
there may be another round of excite
ment as there was two years ago, when
grand jury was drawn and G.. G. H.
Corliss of Grand Forks, engaged as a
special prosecutor went into the grand
jury room in disobedience Of the orders
of the district court judge.
! Corliss was arrested on technical
charge of contempt and the case went
to the supreme court on a writ to de-
termine the rights of special prosecu-
tors to enter the grand jury room. The
court held that Corliss could not go
before the grand jury and he was shut
out of the jury room.
Inasmuch as the grand jury in this
instance has been called at the request
of the attorney general, persons locally
interested arc wondering whether there
will be clash between Attorney Gen
eral Andrew Miller and the district at
torney, r. N. Stevens, as to the pres
entation of evidence and the matters
to be brought before the grand jury.

New York Nov. 27.--Two Of the
daintiest vaudeville acts OF the season
are given by Annie Laughlin and
Dazzle, the pantomime girl.
Miss Laughlln, the daintiest OF all
condolences, mas become famous as
The Toyland Prima Donna. She has
played an important part in the sue
cess Of nearly all of the recent Juvenile
comic operas, notably The Wizard Of
Or, and Babes In Toyland, and her
return to vaudeville win be well
come event.
Little Miss Laughlin is diminutive
artistic with a big lot OF talent, and
her songs include some Of those she
made popular in musical comedy.
Mile. Dazzle, the famous American
dancer, who is presenting an artistic
pantomime over a special tour this
season, holds a unique position among
the worlds greatest terpsichorean art
lists. She is perhaps the youngest
dancer, and surely. the only Ameri-
can one, to achieve brilliant degree
Of success In the classic ballet.
America has not developed many
dancers, in fact, who have added TO
the history of the dance as a serious
achievement, and for the most part
those VINO have won recognition at all
have been eccentric or acrobatic toe
dancers, such as Bessie Clayton, La
Petite Adelaide, Beth Stone, Maizee
King and some score OF others who
have never reached beyond the COM
monplace In their art.
Dazzle, alone of all the American born
dancers, mas achieved really worthy
or ambitious efforts. Her early train
ing was in the rank and file of the
most perfect and precise ballots OF the
world, in Milan and St Petersburg.
and there she began earnestly and
correctly, which no doubt accounts for
her infinite technique and exquisite
poise that distinguish faer execution
now.
1t is singular fact, however, that

velopment. This should be done, as
President Taft urged yesterday. on a
broad and general plan. Congress has
given up annual appropriations and
yearly meddling on the Panama canal,
and the next $500, 100000 will be spent
on It upon a general plan. In irriga-
ton an appropriation Of $25,000,0O0 is
to be invested in improving lands and
as fast as these are sold the money
goes again into irrigation without a
new appropriation.
The pork barrel policy in water
works must go. The advice Of trained
engineers must take the place Of the
log-rolling OF appropriation commit
tees. If President Taft, following the
policy Of his st. Louis speech, were 70
refuse his approval TO any rivers and
harbor appropriation act, except on a
national and far-seeing plan, he would
command public approval

The unfortunate mans feet have
been badly frost bitten and his phys

exposure to the elements.
Just what action will be taken by
the local authorities in regard to his
case is not known, but it is probable
that he will be sent to the Ward
county poor farm, just as soon as the
new buildings there are ready for oc-
cupancy.
