BAD MIX-UP
At jamestown

jamestown, N. D., Nov. 16.-The fur
Their Investigations are carried the
greater is the likelihood that compIi-
cations will arise in the recount OF
the vote cast for fourth member OF
the legislature from this county. 1T
is asserted by some that neither Kar-
pen nor Walters would be elected but
that Atwood of Courtenay would be
the man. 1t is claimed that recount
might show change Of several hum
bred votes.
Four members of the legislature
were to be voted for and in instances
where one, two or three i'm the DEM
ocrat column were voted for in many
instances the election boards gave
the remainder of the vote to repub-
lican candidates whose names were
not opposite to the democrat nom
inees voted for. 1t is claimed that
this was an entire violation IF the
law and contradictory to the evident
will OF the voter who apparently vot
ed for only those nominees after
whose names he placed a cross or
mark.
The county canvassing board, it Is
said, does not have the power to cam
vass the votes, its duties being mere
ly to make an abstract of the votes
from the certified statements prepar-
ed by the different inspectors Of cleo
ton In the various precincts and
certify thereto.

DIVIDEND FROM
BEFIIAGF BANK
JUDGE TEMPLEToN AUTHORIZES
10 PER CENT DIVIDENn FOR
LAKoTA DEPosIToRs.

Grand Forks, N. D.. Nov. I6-Judge
@. F. Templeton yesterday issued an
order in the case of the Peoples State
bank of Lakota authorizing Receiver
George A. Kellogg TO. pay a dividend
or 40 per cent to the depositOrs of the
defunct institution. The judges order
was made in answer to a petition pre-
scented by Mr. kellogg through his at
torney, George A. Bangs of this city.
IN which a report of the present state
or the banks affairs was outlined ana
the receiver asked that an order he
given allowing him to declare a divi-
dend of 10 per cent. The reason for
this action, as set forth lin the petition
IS mat the crop conditions in the vi
entity of Lakota were especially had
this Year. the result being that there
IS money shortage and oven such a.
dividend would be received by the for
mer depositors of the detunct institu-
ton more gladly at this time than later
when the whole matter Is closed. Inst
now big an additional dividend will he
declared when the whole matter is
settled up is hard to say. There are
number Of suits pending on the part
OF those who claim to be preferred
creditors. The chief claim of this
kind is that Of Nelson county for ap-
rroximately $4,000.
The sum of $4,000 viii be used in
paying the 10 per cent dividend. This
leaves some $4,000 in the hands Of
the receiver tomeet the preferred cred
itors. IL they are declared to be such
by the courts. It is an interesting fact
TO note that of the money gotten to-
g 9tai py Receiver Kellogg. about 49,
ouo was taken out of the Beck &
Faoren Automobile Co. The total liza
Diiities OF the bank are $129,55LOs
