He paused and yawned Parker was

"Everything seems TO be all right.

Yes, 1t appears So"
He frowned again as he stared al the

Parker. that was either an ordinary

1t was a fellow with definite designs on

to think Just now
Was there something very important

little bundle o. papers, Parker. They
have been in the First National vaults
for year now. and I got them out
only today. Thinking that they would

He stopped short, and mis- mouth re-

An extremely odd memory was finding
it's way back to him.
When We were done looking over

Of many seconds.
Grafton ran his fingers through his
hair. After they had finished looking
over those Colson notes-that was the
point.
A few minutes back he would readily
have sworn that he locked them up in
the safe.
Now
Collins. the attorney, had left. Graf

through the documents. An instant
later Elsfords wire had arrived. That
had been an entire surprise. 1t had
meant that Grafton would have to
hurry like mad II he was to return
home and then make the train on which
Elsford arrived.
He had locked the papers in the safe,
or had he left them lying on the open
desk. For a moment or two such an
act by so methodical man seemed
utterly incredible: he could not believe
it, even of himself. But fragments OF
memory came more rapidly and still

The story in the Bison Courier
is a fine literary effort. AS such
it is deserving of some credit
but as a pipe dream it is strictly
along the line Of all its campaign
argument. People like to be
amused, and we like to laugh
with campaign speaker, even
if we vote straight againgt him.
Thus the little joke OF the Bison
ties will react against them as
sure as the puolic mind is to the
policy of misrepresentation and
bnncumbe, which has character.
lied Bison campaign through
out, and render a rebuke against
them November 5th. You cam
not win a campaign that hinges
on a simple business proposition
with funny stories.

That Bison hopes to blow the
county for big improvements, as
s Don as she has the permanent
county seat safe, is shown plain
l. in the talk some Bison pro-
moter put up recently. Leave
the comfy seat at Bison, and
1t will cost dearly. Bring it
to Lennon, where nearly all
Perkins county residents come at
one time or other during the year,
and you will have the court house
with its records and officials,

Yes, Bison sure would be glad
to have every road leading to
Lennon made impossible; GER
talnly Bison is once and for all
opposed TO the building of any
roads except such as might lead
to Bison. Presumably for people
to make use Of that railroad on
paper which is such a prominent
feature of Bison's campa gn.
The Lemmon herald. (Lemmon, Perkins County, S.D.) 1912-1917, 1912-10-25

Bison prefers to deliberately
falsify the fccts. That stairway
about which they are are piping,
in the proposed new courthouse.
without any expense to the coun-
ty whatsoever, is not four feet
wide, but five feet, and the plans
filed with the county auditor SO
snow. Bison has mighty little cam
paign material when It must re-
sort to infnitesimal subjects as a
stairway that is by a long shot
better and safer than the trap at
Bison.
The Lemmon herald. (Lemmon, Perkins County, S.D.) 1912-1917, 1912-10-25

When Bison came four years
ago with a simple promisa that it
would build a courthouse if made
temporary county seat, Lennon
took the Bisonites at their word.
The slur Bison is now casting at
the promises Lennon makes are
In decided contrast. No safer
guarantee than those that Lem
mon makes can be given. and
these guarantees are an earnest
of the proposition Lennon offers
to help the county keep down ex-
penses and save the taxpayers
money.
