HAVE No INTENTION TO
CORNER THIS OFFICE.

Neither Harlan D. Heist nor N.
10. Aubolee who are law partners
and the opposing candidates for
the office Of County Attorney, viii
exert himself enough to become red
in The face in quest after votes.
One Of them IS a staunch Demo
crat and the other a stalwart Re-
publican, each being the sole can
didate for his party for this par
ticular office, and each therefore
sure Of d nomination. While the
party wall between them Is strong
shere are roses growing On top Of
il. 1t has been intimated in a joe
ular way that in criminal cases,
while the one Of these partners
selected had the prosecution. the
other would be sure to get a re-
tanner for the defense. but this
Iaust not be taken seriously, for
II W ould be against both pro-
fessional ethics and the law of the
land.
It is said that the nomination Of
both these partners was brought
about by a misunderstanding by
their party friends. The situation
Is somewhat embarrassing to both
os them and it is understood that
a way out is to be devised either by
a dissolution Of the partnership or
by the resignation from the ticket
Of one of the nominees.
It is unnecessary to say that .
here has been no eolluSion between \
hese partners.

Burglars had actually locked the
safe and the owner. never locking
it himself had forgotten the com

against him. Nothing was missed
from the office.
Mr. Doty had hardly recovered
from this surprise when he found
over at the Iowa office,
where there had been a nOcturn-
al visit also. The office safe here
had been left swung wide open,
only the inner doors being closed,
but these were smashed in as #
in utter disgust the robbers had
determined to cause some loss if
they did not gain anything in their
enterprise.
Entrance was effected in both
eases by the use Of q piece Of
