one QUESTION
in Law SUIT

Jamestown, N. D., June 1.-THE only
question asked in the law suit of
Stutsman County VS.. Bennett, was
what is your name?, and thereafter
upon motion Of Thorp Sc Chase, at
torneys for Defendant Bennett, the
court refused to permit the introduc-
ton of any other testimony, upon the
ground that no testimony was adj
MISSILE under The allegations Of the
complaint.
The action was brought by Stuts-
mar county through the states at
torl1ey to Recover from o. H. Bennett,
register sof deeds, certain sums of
money, which 1t was alleged were
overpaid to clerks in his office. The
county commended that the amount so
paid exceeded the sum which under
the statute could be paid to employees
in the registers office. The defendant
commended that the county commission
ers were the fiscal officers of the
county, and that the provision in the
statute giving him authority to hire
and discharge clerks was for his own
protection and to enable him to dis
charge employees whose negligent and
inefficient service might make him
liable under his official bond-and that
he had no control Of the amounts to
paid by them, and that if any liza
bility existed for yer payment it was
on the part of the commissioners and
not on the register.
The ease has attracted considerable
comment and attention.

or for both first n second choice, and
that in sending out the instruction
cards provided for by section 62S of
the revised codes, the county auditors
should see that they contain proper di-
~rections to the voters on that point.
Attorney GeneEdl Mlll6T ~TGISALly gave
to the secretary Of state an opinion,
which has been quite generally cir
culated and published, holding that
every voter must mark his ballot for
both first and second choice in every
instance where the names of three or
more candidates for an office are print
ed on the ballot. and that If a voter
failed to so mark his ballot. his first
choice vote should not be counted in
canvassing the votes for that Office.
The object of the proceeding insti-
tuted by Mr.. Shaw is to have the SUI
preme court construe the law, n say
whether this direction, printed on the
official ballot: vote for both first and
second choice for this office" is nan
datory or not. The constitutionality
of the law lis not assaiIed, not is the
form of the ballot criticized. The ballot
is all right. The question is, how shall
it be used? May the voter decide for
himself whether he will vote for first
choice only, or must he vote for both
first and second choice? This is the
question which the supreme court is
asked to answer, in order that the
voters may know how to mark their
ballots. No other question is involv-
ed. John Il. Greene.

1T was also brought out that the wife
shortly after her divorce had married,
not the defendant, but a third party
and was now living happily with him
in South Dakota.
In a striking argument to the jury
Atty. Arthur Knauf for the plaintiff
roundly denounced the defendant, and
outlined how the home had been
broken up by the defendant. He dwelt
upon the terms of the letters written
by the defendant, and made a striking
Plea for damages.
Atty. Geo. w. Thorp for the defense
made one of the most telling argu-
ments ever heard in a local courtroom,
and showed the jury that even admit
ting that the defendant did make pro-
posals to the wife of plaintiff, never
theless 1t was not shown that they
had any effect on her attitude to the
plaintiff, nor influenced her in leaving
him and that defendant was not en-
titled to pay for affection which never
existed. The jury was out a short
time and brought in a verdict for the
defendant, dismissing the action.
