CUNNINGHAM IS At.
TER /: COUNTY OFFICERS
Brings Mandamus Proceedings
Against Register of Deeds
and County Treasurer

Mandamus proceedings were
brought Wednesday morning
by George Cunningham against
Register of Deeds George Han
sonSand County Treasurer C. P:
Olson asking that the district
court order the. former to record
a certain deed which he has re-
fused to place on record. Mr..
Hanson refuses to record the
deed until a seed lien is paid,
while Mr.. Cunningham holds
that lien has nothing to do with
it, and that's where the trouble
comes in.
Some two or three years ago
JoetWaleen, then residing near
Coteau, gave the First National
Bank of this city mortgage on
80 acres of land, and a short
time latter gave a second mort
gage to- Mr.. Cunningham. In
the spring of 1911 Waleen got a
quantity of seed grain from the
county and put in a crop, and to
secure the county gave a seed
lien on the land. Under the law
this lien holds against the real
estate on which the seed is putin.
On June 80 of last year the First
<National bank !. foreclosed its
mortgage and received a sherif's S
certificate. Several months la
ter Mr.. Cunningham bought this
certificate to protect himself, and
when a year expired after the
foreclosure he secured a sheriff's
deed to the place. Register of
Deeds Geo. Hanson refuses to
record the deed until the taxes
and seed lien are all paid under
instructions from States Attor-
eySAndrews, and the records
in County Treasurer Olson's Of
fee show that the lien given in
the spring of 1911 amounting to
some $500 is yet unpaid. Mn
Cunningham's attorneys believe
that as the mortgage was given
prior to the seed lien it should be
prior in right.
Arguments in the case will be

derwent an operation at the TO-

One of the largest shipments
of dry goods received in Bow

which arrived here Wednesday
morning consigned to R. T.
Blenkner. The shipment con-
tanned eleven boxes all measuring
fully five feet each way and
weighing several tons. On see
ing the boxes on the depot plat
form one would naturally think
that they contained goods for a
new store on account of the
large quantity.
Farmers desiring winter rye
and wheat seed grain can get
what they need by sending to J.
A. Englund, Kenmare, N. D.
Mr.. Fnglund harvested a mag
nificent crop on July 10Th, and
owing to the TACT that 1t is such
a clean grade of grain he has
decided to let it all out for seed.
It is free from noxious weeds
and is being sold at a very
reasonable price so that every
farmer can afford to try some.
The seed is thoroughly accli-
mated and it would be of mutual
benefit if all could be sold for
seed right in northwest North
Dakota. Farmers who sowed
winter rye and wheat last year
got immense yields this year,
and the beauty of the crop is
that it is ready for harvesting
along the latter part of July
when there is very little doing
on the farm anyway. Mr.. Eng
lund has promised to take care
of all correspondence promptly.

In the next Congress there will be 13S
southern Democrats and 154 from the
North. but the Northerners are mostly
new, so that the committees will be
headed by Southerners The leader of
Congress is from Alabama, and the
agricultural South will shape legislation.
In this work the South will have the
help of the agricultural West and both
sections think the East has been pros
porous at their expense. The general
course of coming legislation is not diff
cult to guess. At the same time the
impression is gaining ground that the
South has so much capital invested in
manufacturing that 1t will not support
as radical cuts in the tariff as 1t did
20 years ago. 1t will require enormous
revenue to support the government, and
II must be collected largely by a tax
on imports. The trouble will come in
the discrimination against New England
industries and in favor of Southern in
dustries. as was clearly shown in the
tariff bills of the last session of Con-
gress.

Many people have made inquiries in re-
gard to the divorce law passed by the
Vermont legislature at the present ses-
sion and signed by Gov. Fletcher. We
understand that it provides that If a di-
vorcee marries within three years in
some other state to avoid the prohibition
of marriage within that time in Vermont
the marriage shall be bigamous If the
divorcee returns to Vermont 1t also
provides that If a person from another
state is married in Vermont to evade the
laws of another state relating to remar-
riage after divorce, the marriage shall
be bigamous and the person who per-
forms the marriage with knowledge of
the intent to evade the law shall be sub
Jected to fine The general divorce law
provides that no divorcee may be mar
ried within the state for period of
three years after being divorced, unless
the party securing the divorce dies
within that time.

More than half a million dollars Is said
to be tied up in election bets awaiting
the result of the recount of the electoral
vote of California. So far only "a of the
50 counties in the state have been can
vassed, and as a result of the tabulation
the elector heading the Wilson ticket is
90 votes ahead of the elector heading
the Roosevelt ticket. 1t is anticipated
that the final result will be very close
probably difference of less than a hun
dred between the leaders on the two
tickets, and while it cannot have any
possible bearing on the general result
of the presidential election it will en-
phasize the value of the individual vote.
