TELLS OF REMITTANCfS
II. L. HALVERSON OF BARNES
COUNTY is FIRST WITNESS.
Testimony Is Of Value to Prosecution
az Illustrating How Large Sums
Could Be Used.

Washburn, n. D., June 22.-The
testimony of II. l.. Halverson, trcasur-
ar OF Barnes county in the Bickford
case. is important to the prosecution
as 1t places in evidence a system by
which a state treasurer might have
obtained money and used it for some
time without the record OF such man.
lpulatlOns appearing n any other Of
fees than his own.
1t is the duty and custom of county
treasurerS to send into the state audi
tor at the end of each month. Il state
ment of the amount of money collected
Turing the month which belongs to the
state. Upon receipt Cf Such statement
the state auditor draws a draft upon
the county treasurer sending it in for
me amount due the STATE and turns it
over to the state treasurer for col!ec-
item.
HalverSon testified that when hi as
slmed the office over TWO years ago he
began the custom, which he followed
Tor two years, of sending Il check OF
''raft for the amOun due the state
with the statement n" sent the state
auditor. not waiting until the draft had
been drawn upon him for the mount
due. UpOn receipt of such staten. ent
and check tie auditor would turn the
check owe to the state treasure and
then in order to keep his own rec
nrds clear woul draw the draft IN the
county from which the money came,
but in order not to double up" on the
amount would instruct the treasurer
to cancel the draft and return to the
county upon which drawn, payment
having already been received. This
would leave in the hands of the state
treasurer a draft for an amount he
had already received in cash. and
which,, until the cancellation of the
draft by him would be worth its face
value.
Halverson says he followed this sys-
tenn of RENTING none because his
predecessor had done so and that he
continued ii for We years. During the
two Years HalversOr'S remittances
made in this n aggregated a sum
far in excess If sec, 600.

JUSTICE HARLAN AND "REASON-

And every one is talking of the fighting
qualities OF the seventy eight-year-
Justice.
Just now and then some one Is to be

Nj. Harlan. There isn't man in the
country who likes a laugh better, will
do more within the bounds OF dignity
to promote one, or Of whom more good
stories are told. Back in 1871 Justice
Harlan was nominated for governor by
the republicans OF kentucky. He had
been mentioned for bravery At the battle
CT MIL Springs. which effectually wrested
control Of Kentucky from the Confeder-
ates. and had served his State as at

In the campaign of 1871 the democratic
candidate for governor was ]. b. Nc

Two were warm friends one night on
their electioneering tour they found they

mountain cabin. McCreary got In first.
The next governor OF Kentucky is In
this bed tonight" said Harlan, as he
laid his great bulk on the mattress. The
bed Went to pieces. and Harlan rolled
across the floor McC'reary spoke from
the depths OF the blankets,

Harlan plays mighty tidy game OF

birthday Once he was battling with a
friend across the Chevy Chase links in

How is Mollie?' JEFF asked after he
had helped Gladys bring another bas-
ket of corn from the crib. Don't you
suppose she would like a moonlight
canter?"
81 don't know Of anything that
would suit her better" Gladys an
swered. "or her mistress either" she
added. with roguish laugh.
1t was a perfect evening. The white
drifts Of newly fallen snow glistened
in the radiant moonlight. The horses
feet made hardly a sound. and they
seemed to be almost flying through the
frosty air. 1t was like sacrilege to
break the silence of that glorious De
cember night by talking, and they rode
on without word for long time
Gladys was thinking Of that night two
years before when she and Mollie had
made that desperate squirt to catch the
tinkling sleighbells that seemed ever
just beyond their reach Jeff's
thoughts were of the two rosy cheek
ed girls who had almost frightened
him out of an apple tree once and es-
pecially of the one who could never
keep that unruly lock of hair out Of
her eyes.
At last they turned and started down
the long slope toward home. Gladys
could keep still no longer. and in the
pure Joy Of simply being alive she lift
ed her clear voice in the rollicking
measures of college song.
JEFF followed with the Minnesota
song. and then as they turned In at the
gate both joined in a lower. sadder
tone in the grand old tune Of Home,
Sweet Home"
Then they stopped by the old hitch
ing post and sat silent again. each
loath to break the spell OF tender
memories that the old song had called
up.
You must be getting cod" said
JEFF ut last, leaping to the ground and
helping Gladys to the big fat stone
that stood by the gatepost.
She looked like queen as she stood
there in the perfect beauty of her
young girlhood. with the silvery moon
light glinting through her wavy
tresses.
Jeff still held both her hands as he
said. you've always been a true
friend to me, haven't you. Gladys"
"I've always tried to be-" she an
swered. "But-but please don't say
anything to make me anything less.

Then can't-can't you be anything

his voice.
She shook her head sadly.
| For several moments they stood still
again under the spell of that great
white silence. Then Gladys gently
drew away her hands.
"Goodby. jeff" she said.
He looked back at her over his shoul-
der as he led Mollie away to the barn.
She was still standing there. her fig
ure sharply outlined against the win.
ter sky. When he came back she
was gone. but she had left a picture
in his memory that did not fade away
for many day.
