WARD COUNTY
CASES DECIDED
JUDGE DAVIS AND WEATHERWAx
WIN OUT IN INTERESTING
ELECTION CON-
TEST.

Minot, N. D., Aug 25.-In a decision
handed down late yesterday afternoon
in the contest cases Of Murray VS..
Davis and Willis VS.. Weatherwax,
Judge Kneeshaw held that the supreme
court decisions of June s, amounted to
a declaration of the fact that county
division had carried as to Renville
and Burke counties and more, and that
said counties were not created and in
existence so far as having legal ex-
istence as counties until after the APP
pointment and qualification OF the
county commissioners OF said counties,
at which time and not until the said
counties had legal existence as counties
In the state.
He therefore held that the votes
cast should be counted. tina. the eIec-
tors of Burke and Renville counties
should not be disfranchised and ac-
cordingly he dismissed the two con-
tests, leaving Nehemiah Davis as the
nominee for county Judge and. L. p.
WeatherWax was nominee for county
treasurer on the republican ticket
Legal complications ar1as after the
decision of the supreme court which
prevented the county auditor from cer-
tifying the returns of the 1903 cleo
ton to the secretary OF state until
after the primary election. Conse-
quently the question Of law came up
as to whether or not the decision of
the supreme court formed the new
counties and If so, whether, after such
formation, the people of said new
county could vote as a part of Ward
county. In other words did the su-
preme court decision disfranchise the
people of Burke and RenviIle coun-
ties. They could either vote legally
or they could not at all. If they could
vote, their votes must be counted and

He made plea for the punishment

places as the only process of gradually
but permanently raising the morals Of
political and business life and said he
thought it his duty to hunt out crooks
and especially the crooks in his own

honesty is involved l recognize no
