moor on the delayed Milwaukee pas

Mr.. Zangle stated that there was a
fairly good attendance of auditors
at the meeting, and that a great deal
of interest was displayed by the
members in going over the details of
what the assessment should be.
There 70 changes made in the
real estate of the state nor on per-
sonal property. The only change
that was made, as expressed by Mr..
Zangle, vas the decrease in bank
stock. Heretofore this has been as
sessed at 40 per cent Of it's value and
it was reduced to SO 1-2 per cent as
the basis of assessment.
One Of the special features of the
gathering of the auditors was the
general discussion of the work in that

Pierre, S. DIT appears that an
attempt has been made to turn the
meeting =. the county auditors at
this city into an endorsement of
George w. Egan for governor. In
that line, County Auditor MOVIE, of
Minnehaha county sent to the differ
ent auditors over the state, the fol-
lowing letter:
"In looking over the list of county
auditors of this state, whom l expect
to meet and have the pleasure of be-
coming acquainted with at Pierre,
the twenty-ninth of March, 1 find
your name among them.
II am anxious to meet and become
acquainted with you, because 1 have
been advised of your strength and
influence in your county. 1 have a
request to make of you and feel at
liberty to make it, because l know
that when you understand the situa-
ton as l do, you will be with us.
II, with hosts of others in this part
of the state, aam anxious to make
George w. Egan, of Sioux Falls, gov
ernor of this state.
You doubtless know something,
from the last returns in the primary
of the popularity and strength of
this man, where he is known. To
know George w. Egan is to be for
him. ! know him we'll and know his
principles and record. He is right.
and his heart and soul are in the
cause of the people.
II want you to do me the honor
to look me up at Pierre. 1 want to
go over the situation with you. I
will try to find you. If you can
spare the time, please drop me a note
before We go to Pierre.
Sincerely, /,

This letter has received more or
less discussion since the coming to-
of the auditors, and Mr.. Howe
has been attempting to get the
of the association together
in a meeting to work up sentiment
before the members leave this city.

ITALIAN FROM BARD
ACCUSER OF JOHNSON
CLAIMS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AID.
vIsED HIM WRONGLY CON-

HORSE THIEVES ALSO
COMPLAIN.

Pierre, S. D.-The surprise of the
day here was the announcement in
the supreme court that an affidavit
of disbarrment has bee. i.e! A1,A.zi,
Royal c. Johnson, attorney general
of the state. One j. NJ. Prostrollo,
an Italian of Bard, is the camplain-
ant, and the affidavit contains two
charges from which it appears that
in 1910, Prostrollo was complained
against by j. M. Ringer, a resident
of Hyde county, for forging a relin-
quishment to land in Hughes county.
johnson as states attorney of
Hyde county subpoenaed Prostrollo
before a magistrate and after an ex-
animation, decided that while he was
probably guilty, the evidence was not
satisfactory, and the complaint was
dismissed. A civil suit was after
wards brought by Attorney T. t.
A%uldredge sand tried by him with
the assistance of A. B. Fairbank, of
Huron, In which ProstrolIo was as
sessed 1914 by the jury for having
sold a bogus REIMBURSEMENT to Ring
err for government land that had new
been filed upon.
AS Mr.. Johnson had made the first
investigation on Ringers complaint,
the whole trouble is laid at his door
and from the record it appears that
the charges against him are based
upon Prostrollo's having been COM
PEELED to repay the money obtained
in the transaction.
The charges are founded on Sec.
938 Of the Political Code, which pro-
hibits a states attorney from prose-
cutting a civil action based on the
same facts upon which a criminal
action Is then pending, but from the
complaint it appearls that no crimi.
nal action ever was pending. The
record shows that the civil case was
prosecuted by Attorneys Fairbank
and Auldredge and that johnson
