WIMBLEDON Man
NEARLY LOST coin
KENTUCKY FoRGER ALMOST GOT
$1,000 OF NORTH DAkoTANs
MONEY "a.

Wimbledon, March "A few days
ago. the First National bank at this
place received a telegram over the
Western Union, signed A. Z. Darken-
wald, from Newport, KY, where he
has been spending the winter, asking
them to wire him $1,000. The bank
here, as is customary in such cases,
wired the bank to pay this amount to
A. e. Darkenwald, but did not waive
Identification. AS a precautionary
measure, Cashier H. M. Stroud also
wired to A. e. DarkenwaId confirming
the telegram to the bank, that the
money had been sent, and the mes
sages were sent I'VE the 500 Tele-
graph line, instead of the Western
Union over which line the request
came. This precaution no doubt saved
the bank at Newport, KY, the loss Of
the money and was the means Of
catching the forger, as the message
was delivered to the real A e. Dark
enwald and he Immediately notified.
h bank and a detective was put on
ethe case and soon had the tmposter,
1t seems. this party, who went by the
name of Thompson, had met MI.
Darkenwald on the train and after
wards at Newport, n as he was a
man of good appearance and intelli-
gence they. got quite we'll acquainted.
He found out from Mr.. Darkenwald
where he lived and hat he was q d.
rector in the First National bank at
Wimbledon, and Immediately set
about to i~mpersonate Mr.. D~arkenwald
and try to get sonne money On his
name.

son to compel them to pay a pro rata
share of the original amount recover
ed. Miller & Zuger took the case
Of the plaintiff bonding company in
the last mentioned case and the coun-
ty of Stark interviewed, so it appears
that Mr.. Miller is now one of the at
torneys against Stark county in cases
growing out OF cases in which Mr.. Mil
Ter was originally one of the attorneys
for Stark county. So far as your COM
mittee can find there is no evidence
Of double dealing in the matter.
Whether Mr. Miller is right Or wrong
appears to your committee to hinge
entirely upon the question as to
whether the attorney general can en-
gage in private practice From a
theoretical point of view your commit
tee believes 1t would be much better
for the state If none of it's officers
were engaged in any private business,
as the interests of the individual may
interfere with the interests of the
state. From a practical point Of view
the advisabitity is not so clear. Your
committee believes. that neither the
best business men nor the best lawyers
in the state would abandon their pri-
vate business or private practice in
toto and take an official position. FL
nancially they could not afford 1t. The
love of political honors might induce
them to accept such a position in case
they were sufficiently well off to dis
regard the thought of gain. Few men
are in such a position. So 1t appears
to your committee unwise to recon-
mend hat every state officer shall alb
solutely sever all connections with his
private business, or practice. However,
your committee believes that no state
officer should be actively engaged in
any private business or profession.
Such private work as he performs
should be only in the way Of advising
n directing and should never in any
way be allowed to interfere with his
official position. Your committee thor
oughly disapproVes of any such ar
rangement rs the firm of Miller & Zu-
ger, for in this partnership we find the
attorney general and one of his assist
ants in n ONCE. 1t Is very apparent
that IL his firm Is to do any business
whatever it must be at the expense of
the state as their work cannot be limit
ed to counseling or advising, nor can
they handle cases outside of the time
they should be devoting to their Of
fetal position. The position OF attorney
general is a very important one. He
is adviser Of all the state officials and
all the different boards and institu-
lions and he should exercise every
care to prevent any prejudice arising
in his mind by a matter of private in
terest. 1t appears to your committee
to be wrong for the attorney general
to engage as a private party in any
case in which the public is directly
interested.
In case your honorable body should
deem 1t most wise for the attorney
general to abandon--prtvate practice,
your committee would recommend
that the salary be materially tncreas-
ed as 1t appears from the evidence
presented to your committee that
lawyers of note in the state of North
Dakota earn more from their private
practice than the present salary paid

II WATTS GIVEN
CARE BY STATE

jamestown. N. D., March 4+-Juve-
nile Oficer Blake arrived with q num-
Der Of children he picked up near
Bowman. in the southwestern part Of
the state.
There is a very pitiable story in
connection with the taking Of the
children from their home, or. rather
the children are from one family,
and range in age from II months to
II a
ficer is to the effect that the mother
OF the children, Mrs. Kracher, has
left her home and gone to South Da-
kota with a man not her husband.
back to the state, the man was CIV
en- a trial and sent TO the peniten-
tiary for a period Of n year.
The children were living with their
father, and the neighbors made COM
plant that he was abusing them, and
when he was arrested he plead guilty
and paid a fine and signed a paper.
asking that the children be deliver
ed in to the care of Juvenile officer
and supplied with homes. The wo-
man is also serving a Jail sentence at
Bowman.
The other three children are from
a. family by the name of Pratt. al
Bowman. The father is dead and the
mother has been unable to arn a
living for herself and the little ones,
and asked that the authorities step
in and find a home for them, and
hat has been done. Two of the little
ones were taken by a family near
Marmarth and the third was placed
with a farmer living, in Burleigh

AND CAUGHT MAN AND
WOMAN At MANpAN

Jamestown, N. D., March 4.-State
Juvenile oficer Blake spent Sunday
evening in Mandan after a couple
charged with white slavery, a James
town girl being the victim. VIM.
Blake suspicioned the couple last
week when he saw them at Bismarck
and in a single handed chase after
them, when bringing q bunch of chill
dren here, they eluded him and seCur-
ing a hack at Bismarck returned to
Mandan where later he secured their
arrest and they we're held pending
his arrival to prosecute them.
The story the girl tells is to the eff
feet that a man living in Mandan, and
going under the name of Harry Har-
rison at some times, and az Harry
CARLY in jamestown, and claiming to
be a railroad detective, has been liv-
ing from the money she has been able
to make for them. She states that
the woman In the case took her from
jamestown and made her live an i'm
moral life.
She says that at last she rebelled
at the treatment she had received and
went to Bismarck and that the couple
went with her II when they could
not induce her to return they tool a
hack for Mandan again. Harrison
and the woman, Mrs. Edna Healey,
were arrested on their arrival.
Officer Blake returned with the
woman Monday morning and she ap-
pearcd before States Attorney Chase
n expressed a Willingness to plead
guilty. The man was held as a wit
ness in the case.
Mrs. Healey says she will plead
guilty and she will be taken to Car
rington Tuesday to appear before
Judge Coffey to plead to the charge
Of white slavery.

he shaH-see fit. Mr.. Heffrun draws no
salary. His expenses are paid by the
tate.
FOUR committee finds that Miss
Fauske. one of the stenographers in
the attorney generals office, has don
work for Mr.. Miller in his private Of
flee. Just how much work she has
done for Mr.. Miller in hat capacity
your committee cannot say. Miss
F'auske did work in Mr.. MiIler's pri-
Tate Office both for the state and for
Mr.. Miller as a private individual. The
evidence does not how the amount of
work performed for Mr.. Miller as a
private individual to have been any
considerable amount. but 1t does show
that 1t was more than to take an oC-
casional letter, such as n state offic-
ial might dictate to his s~tenographer.
Your committee severely condemns
the practice of such use of the states
employees in any private office as such
practice may lead to gross abuses.
Your committee finds further that
the attorney general and each Of his
assistants are engaged in private praC-
tice, that two are in the firm of Miller
& Zuger and that Mr.. Young is a

n his assistants all state that under
the laws of the state of North Dakota
they are allowed to engage in private
practice. Your committee has consult
ed other eminent attorneys who hold
the same view and others who hold
a contrary view. None, however, hold
the view that engaging in such prl-
Nate practice is contrary to any sta
tute and your committee shall not at
tempt to determine the question as
TO whether it is contrary to law, as q
matter of public policy. Several cases
were brought to your committees at
tention which have been handled by
Mr.. Miller and his assistants. Few
of these cases ever came into court
for trial, most of them being settled.
The only cases that attracted the at
tention Of your committee were those
known as the Stark county cases One
of these was the case OF Stark county
against various bonding companies to
recover on bonds Of county officials.
This case was handled by the firm of
torney of Stark county had counseled
with the attorney generals office with
regard to this matter and had been adj
yised by the attorney general. AT
this point Mr.. Miller claims that his
duty as attorney general ended. The
county commissioners engaged Miller
& Costello to handle the cases
against the bonding companies. The
bonding companies settled the cases
entirely to the satisfaction of Stark
county. Later on IL was discovered
that defaults had occurred in another
county Office. and the bonding compan-
les, which had settled their cases

DENTIST FOR
STATE BEAVERS.

Minot, n. D., March 4.--Does
anyone want a job, extracting the
teeth of a beaver colony?
Door H. Carroll, assistant states
attorney received today a message
from w. r. Bond, state senator
from Minot, saying that he had in
troduced an amendment into the
proposed game and fish bill now
before the legislature by which the
teeth of destructive colonies are to
be removed. "
Mr.. Carroll has a number Of
beavers on one OF his farms. His
own idea had been to remove them
entirely, but II Mr.. Bonds amend
ment to the proposed bill is passed,
he will have to be content to e
move their teeth.
So If anyone feels that he is
qualified to act as a beaver dentist,
a lucrative position is open to him.
