The Ward County independent., 1909-10-28

The Independent just received its bound
files this week from the Grand Forks Her
aid Office, which includes file Of all of the
papers from the time the first paper was
pulled from the little Army press, back in
April, 1902. The files are bound in separ-
ate volumes, one for each year, and each
successive volume is larger thap the other.
The first issue of the Independent consisted
of but two pages of home print, and two
pages Of patent The first issue was void
of column rules, and is therefore quite a
curiosity. Of late we have frequently been
compelled to print 2S pages, all home print,
and have about outgroWn our plant In
fact, at the present time, we are negotlat.
ing for larger and .. dier press.
The blind pigger in Ward county does
not sleep ona bed Of roses, and there is
many thorn in his path. Our lde-'iyake
states attorney Dudley L. NASH has gone
after this lawless element with a ven
geance, and the county is practically
clean. That is, it may be clean today, for
one can scarcely tell in these strenuous
times what the morrow will bring forth.
Notwithstanding these facts, there are
those who believe that it is the duty OF the
states attorney go around in the guise of
a detective and ferret out all of the pernic-
ious little animals known as blind pigs, ar
rest the offenders, bring them to Justice, and
procure a conviction. Mr.. Nash frequently
receives unsigned letters informing him
that blind pig is being run in such and
such place. The informer, perhaps
business man OF the town in which the law
is being violated, fears that if his name be-
comes connected with the case, he will lose
ten dollars worth of business, and for that
reason wthholds it. Others fear that the
piggers will burn their property or do them
bodily harm If there were less fantheart-
edress in the matter, the iniormer could
secure the evidence lust as we'll as not.
swear to the complaint, and conviction
would surely follow. The county has been
saved many an expensive trial bv the vlo-
lator preferrng to plead guilty, and begin
sentence at once, for his conviction would
have been an almost foregone conclusion.
and he ho,:cS that the court will be lenient
with him. The states attorney has in some
cases used the spotter TO assist him, but
this is expensive The spotter usually
draws a salary of five dollars day besides
his expenses. and as rule, in order to 90
good iob the spotter will try his utmost to
drink all the wet goods he finds III the
pig. Our states attorney is doing good
work. and it is the duty of every law abid-
ing citizen to cooperate with him.

DOLLAR LIMIT ON CHECKS.

How such a freak law could have entered

caught to make an example of if he draws

payment Of bills it has been a universal
custom to issue, them regardless Of the
amount involved
Whether the writing of check for

Business custom has sanctioned the pay

large or small, and especially in transmit
ting remittances to other cities.
The average business man would not
think of wrapping. up ninety cents in silver
and placing the amount in an envelope and
eaying excessive postal rates upon it when
he can more conveniently and safely write
out his check for the amount. 1t is true
