COUNTY DIVISION
Campaign for County Officers to
be Done Over Again for
Sheridan County

The Sheridan County petition. known IS
the Bainville petition. presented By John
Lundqu;st and others. vas considered by
the Board Of Commissioners last week.
The petition Was checked over and found
to contain the names OF the nece ssary mum.
Der Of qualified electors. and as no part Of
the proposed new county has petitioned
to be left out. and all other conditions Of
the Law having been complied with. the
Board passed favorsbiy on the petition.
and fixed Friday. Nov. IS the day to set
the date for the election.
While the date Of election has no, been
set. we are informed that il will be early
in February. 1913.
At that time the voters In the proposed
new county will vote on the question Of
county division. countv seat and a full set
Of county officers. including. we understand
one representative. one state senator and
three county commissioners.
The Law reads as follows in regard to
nominations: IAN nominations OF candi-
dates for the Offices required to be filled At
said election shall be made in the manner
provided by Law for the nomination Of can
didates for all general and state elections. .
Whether the new primary Law. which
vas voted upon Tuesday and probably
passed. will govern the nominations or the
old convention sy stem Of nominating can.
didates will be followed. we are not pre-
pared to say. but we believe the new pri-
mary law goes into effect Al once. and any
one can become a candidate for nomin-
alton in his party by filing the necessary
petition with the clerk and recorder. We
will know more abou, this next week and
will keep our readers posted
The campaign for county seat will be q
strenuouos one. According TO decisior
Of Attorney General Galen. made some
time ago. only Incorporated towns and
cities are ellig able to become candidates
This would conhne the battle for count,
seat to Culbertson aud Pleniv~ood. How
ever there are many who believe that thil
Interpretation Of the Law is unconstitution
al and that any town in the proposed n.v
county can become a candidate by com'
plying with the requirements Of the Law II
other particulars.
Al any rate we are going to have ano,he
strenuous campaign. which will probabl
begin in the near future.

ZELAYA MUST STAND TRIAL
Held Responsible for Killing

Managua, Nicaragua. May 1.-THE
Nicaraguan Congress has decided that
Jose Zelaya. former President Of the re-
public, is liable to prosecution for many
alleged political assassinations and the
killing Of Cannon and Groce. two Ameri-
cans who were illegally executed in No
vember 1909.
Zelaya IS believed 10 be in Belgium, but
under the code in force IN Nicaragua he
could be tried and sentenced in his abb
sence. though, of course. the sentence could
not be executed until he returned TO that
country.
II was reported last year that the Con-

it could not punish Zelaya- This led Senior
Castrillo, Nicaraguan Minister at Washing

and later he informed the State Department
at Washington that as soon as the National
Assembly had been declared the Legisls-

Chairman Wilcox went into con.

lie Service Commission yesterday after
noon. He did not see President Nc
Aneny personally, but talked to him
over the telephone, and the conferences

President McAneny wanted to get to-

but Chairman Wilcox said he had been
out of touch with the situation and
would have TO have some time to find
out where things stood.
Later he ISSUED long statement -

sion that II the Brooklyn Rapid Transia

Whether such promises were made by 9TH
