Judge W. C. Crawford held court re-
Gently for Judge Winchester in Bis.
marck. The case tried was that of Nc
Lean county against the Benton Packe,
Co. This is q cast where the property
of the packet company. including theil
river boats, were assessed for taxation
by the Mclean county officials. Capt. l.
r. Baker, for the company, holds the
taxation is unjust. and it will probably
not be till late tomorrow that the cast
will be settled. Judge Crawford tool
the matter under advisement.
Mrs. C. A. Hughes. who. with he,
husband, constitute the North Dakota

have been with the company for years,
while Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes took up the
work only a little over a year ago.
Mr.. Hughes is a brother to E. j. Hughes
and makes his headquarters in Dickin-

to congratulate Mrs. Hughes on her
success as a saleswoman.
George W. Kilmer has decided to be-
come a candidate for the nomination
of county treasurer for a second term.
He came to this decision but a short
time ago as earlier in the season he had
rather expected to move to his Washing
ton farm, but this. will be put off for
another two years. that is if the voters
are willing, and it looks very much as
though they would be, regardless of
party utilization. Treasurer Kilmer
has made an efficient aud economical
official. In making up the 1911 expense
budget the county board appropriated
So. 600 TO the t%reasurer's Office, includ.
ing the ST. 800 as fixed by law for the
treasurer. MIR. Kilmer. however, found
that he could take care of the work of
his Office very nicely alone with the ex-
ception of four months. from December
to April, and this cost the county but
$500, or a total cost of So. 100 for bis
first year. This was different from
former years.
