AGAINST DR.. j. J. REILLY
OF MILTON.

Langdon, N. D., Feb. 24.-The sud-
den and unexpected death of Mrs, Will
liam Drury, which occurred at Milton
on Monday evening of this week. came
as great shock to her many friends
and relatives in Langdon, 1t not being
known here until the day of her death
that her condition was at all precari-
Gus. She went to Milton for medical
treatment week ago last Thursday
and seemed to be getting along very
we'll until last Saturday when serious
symptoms began to develop and on the
following day her husband was sent
for. When Mr.. Drury arrived at her
bedside, having made the trim from
here by team, he found her then un-
conscious and she sank rapidly from
that time until her death.
1t had been planned to have the re-
mains taken to Langdon the following
morning for burial, but there being
certain circumstances connected with
her death that seemed to warrant an
investigation, Coroner Gibson was sent
for, arriving in Milton Tuesday
evening
Ine same evening post norton ex-
animation was held before q coroner,s
jury, which had been summoned Dr
Gibson being assisted at the autonsv
by DIR. Gustuson of Milton. After a
thorough examination of the remains
by the physicians and the Jury and tha
nearing Of the testimony on the fol-
lowing day of many witnesses. who
were more or less familiar with the
case, the jury returned a verdict sub
stantially to the effect that the de-
ceased came to her death as the re.
suit Of an operation performed on her
by DR.. J. j. Reilly of Milton for the
purpose of bringing about an abor-
ton.
1t is not known at this time what
action the states attorney will take
as Mr. Crimson is away, but the re-
suit Of the inquest has been wired to
him and he is expected home tomor-
row, when he will no doubt take the
proper steps in the matter.

GAIN OF SIXTEEN VOTES.
City Vote This Year Only Sixteen
Greater Than Two Years Ago.

City Vote This Year Only Sixteen
Greater Than Two Years Ago.
The vote at the city election last
Tuesday was canvassed last night by
the city council and the returns were
found to be practically the same as
the unofficial reports already printed.
Certificates were ordered issued after
the several candidates had complied
with the law in the matter of filing
expense accounts.
Compared with the vote of two years
ago the election records in the office
Of the city clerk shows that there was
gain of sixteen votes this year in
the entire city. Since election day so.
much has been said about the alleged
Importation of voters into the First
ward that the figures for the city cleo
tion two years ago and this year are
given for comparison as follows:
Vote in 19O9-First ward, 205; Sec
ond, 249; Third, 1917; Fourth, 500.
Vote in 1911-First ward, 203; Sec
ond, 264 Third, 202; Fourth, 800; thus
the fact that there were less
votes in the wicked First this year
than last. The records for general fall
elections show that less votes are
polled then than at city elections. Last
fall the total city vote was $50, whereas
last Tuesday the total vote was sS9.

BINFORD FARMER
STUNG FOR Sis

Binford Times: VIM. Hess, living a
short distance south of town, is a
whole lot wiser, though he is the loser
OF considerable sum of money, by a
nice little transaction that was pulled
of here last week by smooth gent"
from Tolna.
The said gent" c. o. Dayton, by
name, was here couple of weeks ago
and offered for sale a team of horses.
The team was a pretty good one and
worth the price asked, which was SITS.
Mr. Hess purchased the team and
thought no more Of the matter At the
time, Dayton appeared to be acting in
good faith, and though some precau-
ton was taken to see If everything
was all right before the deal was clos
ed, 1t seems that by further deyelop-
ments in the case that a little more
care should have been taken.
Last Friday, p. #. Mark of Neville.
who held the team as collateral on a
mortgage given, came down, and with
Constable Amundson, went out to Mr..
Hess and served on him a writ of re-
plevin for the two horses. Mr.. Hess
took his medicine philosophically, and
said that that man Dayton was a
smooth one.
Dayton had also made contract to
rent Q. G. Arneson's farm the coming
summer, and that with the good bluff
that he put up In saying that the
horses We're free from any incunber-
ance. and the way he said it, is what
tempted MIR. Hess to buy the horses.
Dayton took the train from here and
has not been seen or heard Of since
and It is probable that he win not be.
It Is also said that his wife has in
stituted divorce proceedings against
him, which makes 1t all the more prob
able that he will avoid this part III
the country.
