determination to Civ a private and
nonofficial person precedence at the

pectation is that the emperor, who
has given much thought to the enter
tainment of his distinguished Ameri-
can guest, is preparing surprises for
the three days in which he will give
up to the ex-president the most of his
time.

DANA,JOhNSON

Omemee, N. D., Sept. 6.-The Dana.
Johnson contest for the republican
nomination for clerk of court is now
history.
The case came up before Judge
Burr at Bottineau yesterday. Several
witnesses we're present and the ballot
boxes from precincts numbers Is and
As were brought into court. After a
few witnesses had testified in regard
to the ballot box used in precinct No.
As, the box was opened anu the ballots
counted. The count resulted In no
change in the vote returned by the
Mnvassing board. After the count
had been made, the case was dis
missed on motion of Mr.. Dana's at
torneys.
The ballot box from precinct No. Is
was opened after the dismissal OF
the case. The time having passed
for instituting contests, no harm could
result from opening the box. There
were 26 republican votes cast in this
precinct, but 20 votes were returned
for the Office of clerk of court. Dana
was given %, Dokken 3 and johnson
3. The recount showed that Dana had
received 21 votes, Dokken and john
son 8, with one ballot containing no
vote for clerk. The loss OF two votes
by Dana increased Johnson's majority
to five-his majority of two years
ago.
