HAS TWO SHERIFFS.
Canvassine Board Throws Out Vote Of
Two Townships.

Wahpeton, n. d., Jan. 25.-Richland
county has the unique distinction of
having two sheriffs. Both were de-
clared to be duly elected and both have
qualified for office.
This remarkable situation was
brought about today when the canvas.
sing board of the county reconvened
and threw out the whole vOte of two
townships. thus giving Frank Heley
Il majority of forty-twO votes over
George Moody.
Moody. according to the original re-
turns of the c~anvassinS board, was
elected by eight votes. He qualified
and was sworn in, but Hclcy, who was
the former sheriff, absolutely refused
to turn the office over.
:: Moody began mandamuS proceedings
to make Healy ~relinQuish the office,
and the case is now pending in court.
IN the meantime the canVassing board
met today as was stated, and by
throwing out the vote of the two town
ships, declared that Healy was elect
ed by q majority of forty votes.
Heley at once qualified and was
sworn in. which gives the county two
legal Sheriffs and makes the tangle
Ven more complicated than it was be-

AMERICAN SNUFF CO., III Fifth Ave.. New York
STANDARD OIL COMPANY WON
FIRST ROUND IN LEGAL BAT
TIE WITH STATE.

The secretary of state is not Judge,
neither can he hold judiciary powers,
according to the decision Of the su-
preme court which has just been handed
down in the case of the Standard Oil
Co., VS.. Alfred Blaisdell, secretary Of
state of North Dakota.
In 1908 Secretary Blaisdeli brought
an action to cancel the charter Of the
Standard Oil Co., on the grounds that
is was discriminating against various
mrakets Of the state. The corporation
brought an action to restrain the sec.
rotary of state and Judge Winchester
denied the motion, brought by Ball,
Watson, Young and Lawrence of Fargo
as attorneys for the corporation.
The case was appealed on the grounds
that the action Of the secretary Of
state was unconstitutional. It gave
him judicial powers in Section Of
chapter 25S in the 1907 code. The Sec
rotary of state had held court Of his
own, heard and taken evidence and had
then started to cancel the charter Of
the Standard Oil company.
However, the secretary Of state can
now proceed to get the charter cancel
led, but not after the manner which he
did. Chapter No. $50 Of the laws of
1907 says that he can have the matter
presented to him and then turn it over
to the attorney general, who in turn
must have the case tried out in the
courts.
This case has been dragging along
for some time, having first been start
ed in 1908.

FRANK H. MILLER KILLED AT
DAYTON, OHIO, AFTER BEING
FORCED TO FLY.
GASOLINE TANK EXPLODED AT
TER MACHINE HAD RISEN IN
THE AIR-AVIATOR DIES.

Was Attempting Spiral Glide When
The Drop Came-Hesitated Before
Going Up AS He Was Well Aware
That the Machine Was Not in Good
Flying Condition at the Time-Crowd
Urged Him to Make Flight.
Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 23.-Forced into
the air by the jeers of thousands who
called him coward, Frank H. Miller,
aged 90, a Toledo, Ohio, aviator, shot
into the air at twilight last evening
and at a height of 200 feet was burn
ed to death before the eyes of the ter
rified spectators on the Miami county
fair grounds at Troy, north of here.
Miller had circled the race track and
was just starting on a spiral glide into
a neighboring cornfield when something
went wrong. He could be seen making
frantic efforts to get his machine under
control when suddenly the whirring Of
the propellers ceased. The craft then
dropped like shot for fifty feet with
tiny flame shooting from the engine
and then the gasoline tank exploded.
The machine was wrecked by the
impact and debris was hurled humid
reds of feet in all directions. What
remained of the machine and its driver
burned almost to crisp as they drop
ped rapidly to the earth.
1t was Miller's second flight Of the
day and the fifth and last Of the week.
In a short fight, shortly after noon
today, his machine acted unsteady and
he did not care to go up. The crowd
ieered him this afternoon when he said
he would not make flight and this
evening he went into the air.
"Let her go! I'll be glad when this
is over!" he shouted to his mechanic.
Miller used Strobel biplane.
