Lennon. Aug. S.-The wet" ele-
ment Of Lenmcn is busily engaged
procuring legal counsel and starting
a strenuous campaign to compel the
county commissioners of Perkins, coun-
ty to grant saloon licenses to the two
applicants chosen by popular vote of
the people after the town lad voted

The fight will be a bitter one. bat
the saloon element feels confident of
success.
When the saloon question came up
the total vote on the subject was sp-
proximately $50 of which the dry
faction received Only 20 votes. Then
the question of selecting two out of
the eight applicants was taken up by
a popular vote, the two successful
men receiving a good majority of the
votes cast. The town council granted
the licenses, but the county commits
siouers by a vote of three 10 two
turned down both applicants without
giving any satisfactory reason, and
the fight is now or to compel them to
grant licenses in Lennon as they have
in all other wet portions Of the county.

Made Against Five Members of
the Aberdeen Fire
Department

Aberdeen, Aug. S.-Five members
Of the Aberdeen FIRE department are
under arrest, charged with having
set fire to a building bel onging TO the
city. adjoining the city fire hall. Oh
June "a. William Buck, one Of the
accused men. has confessed. The men
arrested are Buck. John Prouse. Ed
Hardy, substitute fremsn, Archie
Morrison, a regular fireman, and Floyd
Richardson. a former member of the
department.
On the night Of June "a fire broke
out in the building, which was a
mers shack. When the blaze was
discovered the interior was a mass
of flames and it burned to the ground,
causing a loss of about 800. The
theory of the FIRE department at the
time WAS that some tramp had entered
the building to stay all night and &c.
cidentallv set fire to the structure.
Deputy State Fire Marshal s. K.
Grams came to Aberdeen to investigate
the affair, and as a result of his probe,
the arrests were made. All denied
their guilt. but when confronted with
a detailed story of every action OF the
night of June "a, Buck weakened and
told all. The men are charged with
arson in the fourth degree, the penal
ty for which is not more than foul
years or less than one year in the state
pcnitentiary, or not more than ont
year in the county Jail.

GOV. BYRNE
Has N ot Conspired Against
Primary Law-Let Ii Be
Tried

Pierre, Aug. S.-Governor Byrne
was shown an article in a Huron paper
charging that he had entered into a
conspiracy with certain republicans
and democrats TO prevent a full regis
tration Of the voters under the new
primary law. In response to an in
quiry as to whether he had anything
to say, he gave a statement which in
part is as follows:
Eyes, l have seen the article in the
Huronite saying hat the Johnson
Cofey democratic machine and the
Crswford-B yrne republican machine
are trying to keep the people from
registering for the primary election.
Il will say nothing as to the alleg-
ed democratic machine, as / know
nothing abont it.
THE reference to a Crawford. Byrne
machine is fiction; the intimation that
there is such a machine, or that there
is any kind of alliance. understand
ing OF combination, expressed or i'm
piled, between Senator Crawford and
me, is without the semblance Of truth.
The statement that l am doing
anything. either by myself OF in
combination with others, TO hinder
or discourage the voters from regis
tering under the primary law is a de-
Ii berate and intentional falsehood
pure and adorned.
Il have not engaged in political
activity of any kind since / assumed
the Office of governor. but / have al
different times publicly and privately
called attention TO the necessity for
registering for the next primary cleo
ton; / have pointed out that, under
the peculiar provisions Of this remark
able law, a citizen seems to be entire
ly disfranchised unless he is registered
prior to January lat, preceding the
primary, urging that because Of this
fact every effort be made to give pub.
licity to the necessity for registering.
Whether l consider the provisions
OF the new primary law as being
wise or unwise is of no consequence,
and concerns only myself as a pri
yate citizen, bat, since the day Of its
adoption at the election. / have con.
tended that having been adopted by
the people, it should be given a fair
and impartial trial. Last fall, in the
time intervening between the election
and the meeting of the legislature,
there was much discussion of the
new primary law and many alleged
Inconsistencies pointed out, and some
demand that it De either repealed Oh

the most costly artesisn well ever drill

been completed on u farm occupied by
William Rapp in the eastern pant Of
