SUIT is BROUGHT AGAINST FOR.
MER SARGENT COUNTY
OFFICIALS.
STATUTE Is not PLAIN
Newspaper Agitation Responsible for
Acknowledgements Of This
Issue Interests Every coun.
ty in State.

Wahpeton-As a result of consid-
cradle newspaper agitation, actions
have been brought in Sargent county
to recover fees collected by several
county officers of that county which
fees it is alleged have been retained
Illegally.
The. six defendants in the action
are the present county treasurer, G..
H. Hooper; the former treasurer, Ed
B. Johnson; the present auditor, R.
P. Irving; the former auditor, Chas.
Marcellus; the present register of
deeds, E. l.. Warriner, and the coun-
ty Judge, S. A. Sweetman. The am
cunts involved in the case of the
county Judge and the register of deeds
are very small but the present treas
urer is sued for 800 and the former
treasurer for $780, The present audi
tor, R. P. Irving, is asked to return
the sum of $1,000 and the former au-
ditor, Chas. Marcellus, is asked to
loosen up on $1,000.
The question of whether or not the
fees collected by the several county
officers should be turned into the
county treasury or retained by the
officer collecting the fees is one over
which there has been many discus
sion. The law in many cases is not
plain and it has been the custom of
most county officers in all counties of
the state to give themselves the bene.
fit of the doubt and retain such fees
as the law does not specifically state
are to be turned over to the county.
The determination Of this issue is
of interest to the officials of every
county in the state.

Important. to the fremen, than the

the home of Jeppe SondergaaTd, at

old alarm.
Every clue to the whereabouts OF
the stolen triangle points towards
the door of the Eagle Hose and

STANDARD OIL AN ISSUE
IN PLAlNFIELD COUNCIL

P1ainfeld. Oct, 16.-The city
council at It's aid journed meeting to-
night viii consider the question Of
amending the building code SO as to
permit the Standard Oil company to
erect large tanks here for the stor-
age of gasoline and Kerosene. Dur
ing the past two weeks considerable
opposition has developed to the plan,
for the reason that the company will
not be compelled to place the tanks
underground. This, it is believed,
would establish a bad precedent.
1t is known that many of the
councilmen think that the privilege
should be granted because the COM
pany has promised to remove it's
tanks from the center of the city,

WILL INSTALL
NEW LOCKERS
H. S. Faculty Want Them
in Cloak Rooms.

Believing that the installation OF
the newly purchased lockers for the
high school will seriously interfere
with the passing of the classes, II Is
the intention of several members OF
the faculty to start a petition which
will be signed by the several teach
ers, and present the same to the
Board OF Education at their next
meeting, asking that the lockers be
placed in the cloak rooms, raiher
than in the hallway. The teachers
say that the halls are in a most con-
gested condition now, when the
| classes pass, especially the upper
hall. which Is somewhat narrow.
| They also contend that the placing
| of the lockers In the halls, Will pre-
vent holding the class parties and
receptions there In the future, as
they believe they will be more OF p
| d-isflgurement than an ornament.
superintendent ShulI, and Chair
man Fletcher. of the Building Com

scheme, and see nothing but success
to come from it. They have inquir-
ed extensively, and have found that

more ~congested when the new lock-

everything will be simplif1ed when
the new addition is completed. and
both stairways are In use. 1t has
been planned to place about eighty
of the lockers In the upper hall, and
about forty la the lower. Lockers
for the boys and girls basketball
teams will also be placed In the base
ment, where they may keep their
athletic goods
A representative or the r. w. JEFF

have the contract for the work, was
in town a few days ago and in con-
sultation with Superintendent Shull
and members of the building com
