Receives Certificate of Election
as Court Commissioner

Cary Diehl, on Saturday, received
from John P. Rau, auditor of Stearns
county, a certificate of election las
court commissioner. At n o time did
Mr.. Diehl worry about the outcome.
He knew he was duly elected to the
office and let it 60 at that, feeling Ger.
tain that the duly constituted author
tiles would give him square deal.
And so the st. Cloud Peeves had to
admit they were foiled again in their
attempt to hog everything in sight
The two county seat men who went
after the office polled but nine votes
apiece and were going to overturn
the constitution and several other
things. But Mr.. Diehl's certificate of
election '.puts them in bad" Mean
time Franklin county" seems to be
