spreading his $40 not vote" advice
has been a mystery to Us. To our
knowledge he had no property in
this county whatever and was here
only temporarily as we think he is
at the present time.
There were many who did not
believe in his advice but it seems
they were bluffed out with the re-
suit that in this precinct "a voted
against county division, and 264
did not vote. It would not be
amiss at this time if Nuessle would
tell us why these 1854 men were
not competent to vote on this
question.
You have read in the Leader
that we have asked him which
side of the county division propo.
sition, he was on but so far he has
failed to answer. In the only re-
ply he gave he said that he was a
fearless prosecutor. If he is fear
less why does he not answer these
questions?
There were 81 townships, left in
this county after Sheridan county
won out, which would have
made two good counties by a
peaceable agreement. Look at the
map now. If it is divided accord
ing to above lines, what is left Of
this county should be called

those precincts voted. If they had

they would have had a good ma.

We are still very anxious to
know why Nj. Nuessle gave this
advice to the voters. and would
like to have him explain. We can
find no one who asked for advice
IN the first place and why he was

The above map Of Mclean
county shows the division that
will be made if Stevenson county
wins its case.
This map was put out on
circulars and distributed before
the June primary in 1908 among
the voters by Herbert F. O'Hare
of Garrison with the following in
stYuctions:
Under the Code of the State of
North Dakota the above question
of the division of the county will
be submitted to the voters in the
following form on the ballot:
"For Stevenson County" and
against Stevenson County" it
being necessary for the voter to
put an x in the square after the
words, "For Stevenson County"
If he wishes to vote for that coun-
II, bit if he wishes to vote against
the organization of that county he
mnst put an X in the square after
the words, against Stevenson
County," put at the end of the line
for that purpose. The same rule
applies to the voting for or against
the organization of Sheridan coun.
ty, and there is nothing in the law
that prohibits a voter from voting
on any one or two or all of the
said proposed new counties sub
mitted to him at the next election.
It is necessary that a majority of
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1912-06-21

all voters casting their ballots at
such election shall be in favor Of
county division if the county is to
be divided at the coming election,
and for this reason it is not only
advisable but necessary that every
voter who is in favor of the
organization of the proposed coun:
ty of Stevenson or the proposed
organization of the county of Sher-
idan, Line 1919, should vote for
each of these on the ballot, and
not for one alone. In this manner
it is much more probable that
county division will carry than
otherwise.
w. L. Nuessle, then states at.
torney, now candidate for dist
riot judge, gave the following
advice on the same county division
proposition:
If the voters throughout Nc
Lean county would not vote in fa-
vor of any division proposition the
result thereof would be the same
as a vote cast against any such
proposition, and that it required
an affirmative vote of a majority Of
all the legal voters residing in the
county and voting at the general
election of 1908 in order that such
proposition should be carried"
To sum it up. O'Hare's instruc.
tions were to vote Yes if you
were in favor of division and mo"

maps that the four townships near
Dogden are so cut off that the peo-
pie will have to go through another
county to get to the county seat.
We believe this division was start
ed more as a joke than anything
else and that is all there would
have been to it if the people had
been left alone to. vote intelli-
gently. They have done SO on
other propositions and why not
this.
W. have heard. a good deal of
bowling from certain quarters that
we are trying to dictate but we
will state right here that we have
no candidate and have not had any
since the primary law went into
effect; we have encouraged no one
to run for office. We believe the
people are we'll enough posted to
vote for the candidate whom he
thinks will be best fitted for office.
We are great believers in the pri-
mary and think every one should
have an equal chance. Any man
who howls dictatorship is a fit SUBJ
ject for the asylum at Jam estown
and the sooner he is sent there the
better for the community.
We think it would be a good
idea for the voters to consult their
tax receipts and the above map on
election morning and we feel sure
that the result of election will be
favorable.

Ghost Stories
That Are True

Some years ago an Illinois physi.

in one of the Chicago suburbs, was
hurrying one morning to catch q train
for that city. AS he crossed a street
he saw approaching him an acquaint'

glancing at him as they met, noticed
that his clothing was torn, his face
bruised, and that there was a cut I'M.

with a "woe-begone, God-forsaken ex.

At the station DR.. Entwhistle met
his brother-in-law, and said, while the
train was drawing in:
"oh, by the way, I just saw Charlie
M, and he was a sight. He must have
been on q terrible tear"
Both men, as 1t happened, had bust.
ness at the Grand Pacific hotel and
went directly there from the train.
They were met by q mutual friend
who had a copy Of the Chicago Trtb-

a notice in the paper, stating that his
body is at the morgue. He was killed
in a saloon fight. The paper hasn't got

"But he can't be dead" said Dr..
Entwhistle aghast, "for it was only q
few minutes ago that I met him on
the street In Englewood."
Nevertheless, It turned out that
Charlie M. was dead, and that his body
had been taken to the morgue sew

him here this afternoon.
This section was recently visited by

truth of reports that large quantities of
arms and ammunition were stored in a
number of mining communities.

today that their fears had been realized
and that the governor wanted to enlist
the aid OF important persons in every
community in an effort to have the arms
and ammunition sent out of the state
Unless this can be done. it was inti-
mated, the governor would extend the
martial law country to include the dis

done in the Cabin creek and Paint creek
sections. 1t is said that with the people

The Unalga, although for service on the
