Jake q Good Prisoner.

Wahpeton. May 21.-Sheriff Frank
Heley, Of Richland county, formed his
own posse early today when he jumped
into an automobile and ran down Jake
Kelley, formerly q prisoner in his Gus
tody, who he charges brought domes-
ticwoe upon him.
Kelley and Mrs. Heley went to
Wyndmere on the same train last night.
i The sheriff's automobile pursuit to
Wyndmeres at an early hour this morn
ing was rather sudden and unannounced.
Kelley was taken prisoner in the Glea-
son hotel. Mrs. Heley also was taken
to the Richland county Jail in the sher-
IFS automobile. 4. s.,
Sheriff Heley baked all efforts to
getsthe facts, other than admitting t.it
was . little familv affair, in which the
public should not be interested. = ],
Consequently it can only b surmised
what the nature of the charge siss that
the sheriff will prefer against Kelley.

Filed an Injunction.

G. M. Baker, a bridge contractor
from LaMoure, has filed an injunction
against the building of the new steel
bridge west from Oakes. MIR. Baker
wanted to bid on the bridge, but claims
that the plans were not furnished ac-
cording to law. The specifications
were on file and the other bridge build
ers were able to submit bids on them,
but what Mr.. Baker was after was
shop plans so he could send them to his
home company and work out the cost.
The commissioners furnished all for
this bridge they have furnished Tor any
bridge built so far and the injunction
can be but temporary. The county
auditor asked bond Of s., 500, but The
Times has not learned whether or not
Mr.. Baker filed the bond.

Aberdeen Jobbers.

It was about $50 Saturday evening
when the Aberdeen Jobbers special
train reached the city. It was nice
train of Pullmans pulled by two engines,
and carried about hundred of Aber-
deems foremost citizens. A long
streamer was thrown across the street
with the words "Welcome, Aberdeen's
Best" and badges appropriate for the
occasion were given each of the visit
ors.
When they reached the city about
thirty automobiles were drawn up near
the depot to receive and take them for
ride about the city, but on first get
ting off up they marched through main
street, headed by strong unit of
the South Dakota State Band. They
marched in double file to the C. M. C.
corner and back, and were then taken
in hand by the automobile men for the
ride. After spin around the city and
into the country they were allowed an
hour to visit among the merchants and
short program was then in readiness
at the opera house, but in this little
entertainment the citizens of Oakes
were disappointed, for no sooner had a
few gathered at the hall than the ex-
cuse was made by the leader of the
Aberdeen boosters that they would
have to return to Aberdeen as they
were up against the l6-hour law and
they had only time to get back. It.wai
discovered however that the sixteer
hours would not be up until two O'Clock
in the morning and the matter was just
made an excuse to get back to Aber
deem. They were all tired and sleepy

been allowed little rest.

THE COURT HOUSE
BONDING PROPOSITION
Communication from Fullerton
Commercial Club.

To the Voters Of Dickey County:
The county court house is the prop
erty of the taxpayers and citizens of
Dickey comfy, whose money built it.
If the present building is not big
enough or good enough to suit the
county officials, it is for the voters to
say:
First: Whether they think the time
has come to expend large amount of
their money for another building, or
had better worry along for awhile yet
as many of them have to do before
building new and more comfortable
houses for their own families.
Second: Whether, if the present lot
and building are to be abandoned, the
new building had better be located at
Glendale or at some point nearer to q
majority of the taxpayers.
Third: Whether the present activity
of Glendale is not Of that selfish char
acter which willingly sacrifices county
interest for local interest. If Glendale
really has any public spirit why does
she not offer, as recognition of the
benefit received, at least fsaction Of
he amount offered by Monango and
Fullerton? And why does she not show
her regard for outsiders who come to
court by driving. in some more sub
stantial way than indicated by the con-
dition of the roads near Glendale?
Fourth: Whether the time and man.
ner of bringing this question up indi-
Gates bad faith on the part Of Ellen
dale and a disposition to thwart the
real will of the people by coupling other
questions with it in such way as to
practically prevent a fair, popular. ex-
preston.
Every voter Of Dickey county who
does not want to put a mortgage on
his property for his widow or children
to pay off; or who doubts the wisdom
Of this great expense just now; or who
thinks the suburbs Of the county may
not be the most convenient for the peo-
pie of the county, or contribute the
greatest good to the greatest number;
and every voter who thinks Glendale
is trying to take 'tsnap judgment
rather than get well considered and
honest expression from the people of
the entire county-will surely. vote
against the court house building propo-
sition q the present time, no matter
how esmay vote at q later time when
the matter is broughtu in business
like and fair manner.
Acareful canvass Of the business men
and property owners Of Fullerton and
the wealthy and public spirited farmers
in the vicinity justifies us in Offer
ing first class site and $50, 900 if the
court house is located here. This, with
the proceeds Of the present building
and site, will be sufficient (if the pres
ent proposed bonds are sufficiently
without the issue Of any bonds OF
placing mortgage upon our public OF
private property or draining the public
+ treasury. 81
Add to this the fact that Fullerton is
now the nearest Incorporated village to
the geographical center Of the. county
and is also the nearest to the center OF
population, and the folly Of voting in
favor Of the present bonding scheme is
80 apparent that even the taxpayers on
the South Dakota line should oppose it.

because bills are now proposed for the
division Of other counties within the
state, Yet right here 1t may be said
and truthfully said that all the new
county schemes are having trough
sledding." People resent being called
upon to decide these disputes be-
cause they are strictly local disputes
AS a result it may be safely predict
eL that in November the voters will
show their disapproval by turning
down all the division bills that are
presented. All county division ques-
tons should wait until law is en-
acted providing for their adjustment
by the people who are directly con-
cerned.
AS for the Milton bill, as it now
stands, it is the most absurd of all
that have been sprung thus far.
Should that bill go before the people
it would he joke. 1t would stand
as rank abuse of the initiative. In
the tiew of the East Oregonian that
bill would have as much chance for
success as would a tallow dog chasing
an asbestos cat through hades.

THE KING.

They have not named him yet but
he
Is king of mirth and Jollity.
They have not set his throne on high.
But in sweet linen he does lie,
And subjects come to bow them down
Before the new king comes to town.
He is not old enough to wear
The robes loved hands have woven
there
OF homespun on the looms of joy
To clothe the golden king of boy
The sovereign at whose will they bend
In loves sweet service without end.
So far, his realm is only there
Beside the sickroom rocking chair:
But subjects of his sway from far
Steal in to see this youngster star,
And coddle him, and cry "How sweet
The king is, from his head to feet"
They have not named him yet. but
will,
The fairies of the twilight bring
Their magic dew on elfin wing
And on his little head that lies
Pour oil of roses FOR dream kissed
eyes.

IGNOBLE USE OF NAME.
(Harney County News.)

The News does not care a rap
whether Nesmith county is formed
from Lane and Douglas or not and
does not propose to give the boosters
Of the scheme any more free adver-
tising. It is local matter and should
either side feel a sufficient financial
interest in the proposition. let them
pay for space.
One feature of the contest has al
ready disguested us and that is the eff
fort TO obtain the benefit of a great
mans name to boost the financial
and political schemes of the Cottage
Grove fellows, Those people care
no more for Senator Nesmlth or his
memory than for last years birds
nest, but they know he is well be-
loved in Oregon generally and they
are exploiting his history in order to
make popular the proposed county,
which would bear his name.
Such efforts may attract tempo
rary attention, but the General Ar
thur cigar" and all other things that
take a popular name for their intro
duction must ultimately stand or fall
by their own inherent merits in the
practical battle Of life. Colonel Nes-
mith's name, fame and popularity
should not save the new county
scheme IL it be otherwise unworthy.

A RANK ABSURDITY.

If the bill for county division goes
before the people of the state as 1t
now reads it will class as one of the
most ridiculous measures ever foisted
upon the attention of the voters since
the initiative was adopted. This be-
cause of the absurd boundaries Sc
lected for the proposed new county.
Under the boundaries proposed by
the Miltonites the greater portion of
the new county would be made up of
territory that is plainly aFerse to be-
ing so included. It is territory which
Tor geographical, commercial edu-
cational and other reasons is allied
with Pendleton and the Pendleton
country. 1t is country that has moth
ing in common with Milton.
The proposed new county would in
clude Weston and Athena. Already
leading men Of those two towns have
declared themselves as unanimously
opposed to the move. They have every
reason in the world to be opposed.
The new county would also include
big portion of the country along the
Northern Pacific branch line. 1t
would include much of the Helix
country; it would take in most of the
Adams country and even a slice of the
reservation. Now all this country is
naturally allied with Pendleton. 1t is
adjacent to Pendleton. This is their
business point and here is where they
come to secure educational advant-
ages. It would be rankly unjust to
those people as well as TO Pendleton
to place that territory in the new
county. The new county would also
take in Wenaha springs, which is
pre-eminently a Pendleton resort.
1t is evident at a glance that the
work Of drafting the plan for the new
county was either hastily done or else
performed by some one utterly ignor-
ant of the geographical and business
conditions within this county. The
chief promoter of the proposed new
county is a young lawyer from the
east who has scarcely been in the
state long enough to entitle him to a
vote His handiwork is apparent,
Doubtless he is an estimable and am
bilious young man but he is too new
In the country to undertake the re-
districting Of this state.
1t is doubtful if any considerable
number of people even in the Milton
Freewater country desire new coun-
ty created. The enthusiasts are con-
fined to business men in Milton and
Freewater. Their motives are plain
Certainly the farmers up there will
not care for a new county since it will
only mean increased taxation fol
them.
But if the Milton-Freewater country
is actually dissatisfied with the pres.
ent situation then a county should be
formed comprising the country NORTH
OF Dry creek. The divisionists should
not try to kidnap the country south
OF that big canyon for the country
south of Dry creek is averse to such
a proceeding.
Plainly the men who are booming
the new county have become excited

DODGED THE ISSUE.

Alderman Bauler of Chicago was
discussing his famous anti-hatpin res
Olution.
Some women" he said, smiling,
"object to my resolution. They want
to carry hatpins as a defense when
they come home late at night from
the office or the theater. But that
plea, if these women will forgive me,
dodges the real issue.
Eyes, it lodges the real issue as
Schermerhorn lodged it. Schermer-
horn, who was a notorious miser. got
dyspepsia, and suffered for seven
years, though he tried every remedy
under the sun.
Finally he was advised to visit DR..
