became partially acknowledged, they began

ALL INTEREST in
The moody CASE
BITTER CONTEST OVER OFFICE
or SHERIFF OF HIGHLAND
COUNTY STAR ATTRAC-
TON.

Wahpeton, n, D., Jan. s.--The case
on the court calendar that will prob
ably create the most interest at the
term of the district court which con-
vened In this city today will be the
contest case brought against George
Il. Moody, sheriff-elect, by Sheriff
Heley Of this county. At the recent
election Moody, an ex-sheriff, running
independent, won out over the repub
lican candidate, Mr.. Heley by but
eleven votes. Shortly after Mr..
Heley started contest proceedings,
alleging that Moody won the office IL
legally, by fraud, etc. Both men have
developed strong following and when
the case comes up for final settlement
in the district court this week, the
proceedings will be eagerly awaited by
large numbers of people residing in
this county and in this section Of the
state.
Moody, who feels that the charges
have been unrightfully brought against
him states that he is not worrying over
the contest case, however. He feels
that the reports circulated have not
done him justice but believes that
when the contest closes he will be
indicated and allowed to take the of
flee he won at election.
The reiteration of the old charges
preferred against him are not serious
ly regarded by him or his friends.
Some OF them were sprung years ago,
when he made his first race for sheriff
and he feels and believes that the
winning vote given him at the recent
election by the people of the county,
after they had had several years OPP
portunity to satisfy themselves as to
the character Of the man for whom
they voted, proves that the old charges
and the charges brought against him
at this time are devoid of truth and
that the majority Of people believe
as he believes.
Irrespective of the serious charges
brought against him, he believes that
his long residence in this county,
makes it an easy matter for the people
of Richland county to know him well.
His friends insist that his wonderful
showing at the polls is a complete
refutation Of all the charges and an
Endorsement of which any man could
well be proud.

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. S.-Sheriff-

from McCanna yesterday stating that
a crazy man was at large.
Larry Doyle, resident of Grand
Forks county for the past thirty
years, it is stated, has been acting
quite strange of late. Yesterday he was
found standing on the depot platform

zen.
The neighbors fearing that he
might become violent at any time, or
that he might wander away and
free to death, have had him taken
in charge and he will be brought to
this city by Mr.. Benson.
Mr.. Doyle was in this city last Sat
urday and an officer stated that he
was acting very queerily while az the

company with another man who was
leading him. The officers attention

.BURKE'S pet Law
MAY GET The AXE
SOME OF MEASURES, USED FOR
MACHINE BUILDING, SEIZED.
uLED FOR REVISION.

Wahpeton, N. D., Jan. 9.--Some OF
Governor Burke's pet laws are said to
be scheduled for revision during this
session of the North Dakota legisIa-
ture. Several laws which were put
UPON the statute books during Govern
or Burke's administration have proved
to be splendid assistants in the build
ing ap Of a democratic machine and
many republican members of the leg
islatureA, have expressed themselves as
favorable\ to their appeal.
One Of these laws Is the game law.
Under this law which was passed two
years ago, almost an unlimited num-
Der of deputy game wardens may be
appointed and OF course game wardens
are mighty handy in a political cam
paign. tt has come to light since
election that over forty deputy game
wardens were appointed by Governor
Burke during the month Of October.
These drew salaries Of 500 for one
month and 1t is said their principal
occupation was the hunting of votes
for Governor Burke. Republican lead
ers are beginning to believe that this
game law was passed mainly to give
more patronage TO the governor and
they say they do not want to give
him another chance to re-elect him.
self If they can help it.
Another law that is slated for re-
vision, it is said, is the oil inspection
law. Four years, ago the legislature
passed law putting the state inspec-
tor and all his deputies on a salary.
The salary of the state inspector was
put at $4,000 per year and necessary
expenses and the salaries of deputies
were placed at not to exceed $500 per
year. Two years ago a new law was
passed, which had the support Of
Governor Burke, and under this law
the deputies are paid at the rate of
500 per month, a pretty big salary
for the amount of work involved.
There are about eight deputies all
told, most of whom receive this sal
airy. This gives the governor a chance
to handsomely reward that many of
the faithful.
Governor Burke has had more pat
ronage to distribute than any other
governor of North Dakota who pre-
ceeded him and he has used his pat
ronage well in building up a strong
democratic machine. He has had the
appointment of three judges of the
supreme court and several district
court judges, and bills will be intro
duced this session of the legislature
to provide for additional judicial dis
tricts, which If passed will give him
an opportunity to make further APP
pointments. 1t is said that republican
leaders in both houses will watch
closely all bills which provide for jobs
which may be filed by the governor.

MANY Water Pipes
WERE FROZEN UP

Wahpeton, N. D., Jan. Sunday
this section of the state was visited
by one Of the most furious blizzards
of this winter. The wind blew gale
from the northwest and the fine par
ticles of snow in the air made outdoor
travelling extremely dangerous. The
government thermometer at the wealth
or station at the State School of Sci
ence shows that the temperature drop
ped to % below zero during the day.
While no loss of life is reported as
yet it Is probable that live stock on
the prairies suffered considerably. The
snow on the ground at present is not
sufficient to drift badly. The low
temperature has caused havoc among
the water pipes Of the city and the
people generally are anxiously await
ing a general warming up.

erything seemed all right, but later In
the evening he discovered a light in
that direction and investigation proved
that the pump had insisted on more
warmth and sparks lurking in the
banking around the platform gener-
ously responded, with the result that
most of the woodwork around the wei,
including part of the stock .ank, was
burned before the flames could be
squelched.
