RUNLEY COLLECTOR
bound over
3. C. TARPLEE, WHO WAS ARREST
ED ON COMPLAINT OF NELs Sci.
FoRs, HE'D TO co. COURT.

B. c. Tarplee, a collector employed
by the Rumely Thresher Co., who was
arrested last week for malicious mis-
chief, was bound over to the county
court by Judge Murray Monday after
noon. This is the first action in which
our new States Attorney, J. J. Coyle,
appeared, and he handled the interests
of the state like an old "stager." Tar
plee's bonds were fixed at $500 which he
promptly gave.
Tarplee went to the farm Of Nels Sell
fors, north Of the city, to collect five or
six hundred dollars for a threshing
outfit. Selfors says he told him the
money was in the Union National bank
for the company. Selfors says Tarplee
threw the belt off the machine which
was running, breaking several parts of
the machine and stopping operations
two hours. The general impression is
that the collector was too hasty. Sell
fors is good, honest farmer and quite
prosperous.

SAYS FROST DID NOT
HURT SEED CORN

Major Person went out into his 20
acre field Of fine Minnesota 13 corn
Tuesday morning after the frost had
nipped the plant, to see if any damage
had been done to the seed. He was
exceedingly glad to learn that no dam
age had been done to the ears at all
and as proof Of the statement showed
US an ear that he had picked that
morning. He has some of the finest
seed corn in the country which he is
gathering this week. The stalks are
light feet high and each one has three
fine ears on it, He needs men to as
sist in gathering this corn for he will
make an effort to save it. He will
start filling his silo soon.
The cold was even more severe in
The country than in Alinot. Farmers
tell us that ice covered the tanks and
straw stacks appeared like a snow
had fallen. The ground was frozen
lightly, but no damage done to po-
tatoes.

credit in connection with the satisfac-
tory settlements reached between Ward
county and the other counties which
were originally part of the county.
The division Of the county occurred
during Mr. Nash's administration and
he scored a big victory for Ward coun-
ty when the Supreme Court held that
Mountrail conuty was indebted to Ward
county to the extent of several thous-
ands of dollars following the division.
1t was this decision that brought about
satisfactory settlements with Burke
and Renville counties. All of the cases
have been settled, bonds have been is
sued and everything in connection with
the settlements cleaned up.

county from time to time. His opinions
have been in ninety-nine out of one
hundred cases upheld by the district
and supreme courts. He has work ed
untiringly for the county and has given
the people good service His retire.
ment from the Office is distinct loss
to the county, but he leaves behind him
an enviable record.

APPOINT JOHN J.
COYLE TO FILL VACANCY-O. 3.
hERIGSTAD is NAMED AS AS
SISTANT, 3. n. BRADFORD HAV-
ING RESIGNED.

Dudley l.. Nash, States Attorney for
Ward county, handed his resignation
to the board of county commissioners at
a special meeting held Saturday, which
was accepted. The commissioners
promptly appointed John J. Coyle to
fill the vacancy for the unexpired term,
which ends Jan 1, next. Mr.. Coyle as
sumed his duties Saturday.
Upon motion Of Commissioner H. A.
Hurd, seconded by Commissioner F. L.
Sanders, the application Of Attorney
John j. Coyle to succeed Mr.. Nash was
accepted, all but Commissioner Lokens-
gard voting YES" Mr.. Coyle was re-
quested to qualify at once, and the
board adjourned until six o'clock Satur-
day evening to give Mr.. Coyle an oppor-
tunity of perfecting his bond and quail
flying. At that hour the details in
cident to Mr.. Coyle's qualification were
disposed Of and he became states at
torney
BENZ. H. Bradford, assistant states
attorney, and law partner of Mr..
Nash, also resigned and Mr.. Coyle ap-
pointed o. B. Herigstad, a member of
the law firm Of Coyle & Herigstad as
assistant.
The resignation of Mr.. Nash came as
a complete surprise to his closest
friends. Concerning his reason for
handing in his resignation Mr.. Nash
said to a representative Of the Inde-
pendent: 1T is purely a business prop
osition with me. My term would have
expired Jan. 1 anyway and as there
will be no jury term between now and
that time, concluded that could make
more money with the regular practice
Of law. The next three months will be
the busiest that the legal fraternity has
experienced in several years, and as the
duties of the States Attorneys office
would have occupied most Of the time
Of myself and Mr.. Bradford, we could
not afford to make the sacrifice. There
will be no jury term in this city until
after the first Of the year."
Mr.. Nash has been States Attorney
for nearly four years and he has made
one of the very best records of any
States Attorney in North Dakota. Less
than two per cent of the criminal cases
prosecuted during his term were lost
and only twice has he lost cases ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court.
During his incumbency DR.. Thor
Moeller was twice convicted Of murder
in the second degree; L. w. Dale was
convicted of manslaughter; D. NJ Noah
was convicted Of murder and sentenced
to life imprisonment; Gus johnson was
convicted of manslaughter and sentenc-
ed to ten years in the penitentiary and
a number of other important criminal
actions tried and won by Mr.. Nash.
