Guilty and Others Being Tried.

The criminal calendar in the pres
ent term OF district court is dwind-
ling rapidly. States Attorney Mes
tog and assistant, Dorr Carroll, have

Of the criminals have saved the coun-
y expense and themselves trouble by

gro, who stabbed a fellow thresher
several times, pleaded guilty to as
sault and battery.
VIM. Gray, also Of Kenmare, who
nearly killed Jesse Woods by strik-
ing him over the head with 4 whiskey

ed guilty to the charge. The man

plead. It was understood that he
would file an affidavit of prejudice
and ask that his cases be transferred
to another county. He is charged
with pigging and with assault with a
dangerous weapon. Geo. Bissell is
the complaining witness in the latter
case, the trouble arising over an OBJ
struction that Olson placed In Mouse

name. was arrested charged with
stealing $7.S5 from another colored
gentleman by the name OF Charles

noon. States Atty. Nestos showed
that the defendant had been asso.
ciated with one Cyrus, who was con.
G. ''isging and who is doing
time. One witness swore that he
bought teer from O'Connor and it
was shown that O'Connor was in
charge Of the pig when a raid was

take the matter up by correspondence
at once with the Chicago offices, but
to date no reply has been received
from Chicago. Mr.. Brandt went into
the matter quite thoroly, stated that

not doubt but what the city would be
glad to sell it back in two years.
While the matter has not been
threshed out thoroly, 1t is believed
that a municipal plant, adequate for

about $225,O00. It is understood that
the Consumers Power Co. has invest

Present Board Of County Commission.

month and the commissioners allow.
ed the same and a warrant was
drawn. The bill amounted to about
slS4 and besides there was a small
bill for approximately $1,000. The
! commissioners didn't like the looks of
the bill, for it appeared excessive, but
as the new states attorney, Nr. Nes
tos, was exceedingly tusy, did not
want to ask him for an opinion at
the time.
Mr.. Warren, who has never been
at all pashful when asking the county
dads for money, put in bill Tuesday
for the second weeks mileage, mere
trifie--something like $135, we are
informed. The commissioners havo
not yet allowed this bill and it is pos

ess compelled. At any rate, they
have informed Mr.. Warren that the
ELI will have to wait with the other
county bills and be taken UP in it's
regular order in the February meet,
ing.
The commissioners have called the
attention OF Mr.. Nestos, the states
attorney, to the mileage charees, and
while Mr.. Nestos has not gone into
the matter as thoroly as he intends
to, he considers the mileage bills TOR
January as excessive. For instance,
on Jan. 9, if Mr.. Nestos' memory
does not fail him, Warren sent four
deputies into the upper end OF the
county. two Of them going to Baden
and two to Sauk Prairie township.
On Jan. 13, one deputy was sent to
Orlein township, while the following
day two deputies were sent to Rush.
Vile and Iota Flats township, and Mr..
Warren charged mileage for them to
those townships, by the way of Drake.
Now the question arises, If Mr.. War.
rem wanted to be saving with the tax
payers money, why could he not
have had the deputy who visited the
schools in Orlein township, Jan. IS.
remain in that vicinity and visit
the schools in Rushville and Iota
Flats on his return tc Minot?
Mr.. Warren 10 anxious to have the
commissioners turn down his bills at
once, II they are going to do so at
all, In order that the matter can be-
threshed out in the court. and be set
led before the February meeting, but
this will hardly be done.
Mr.. Nestos has looked up the law,
and he does not believe that Mr..
Warren will be able to collect exces-
sive bills While the law favors the
official to certain extent, 1t states
that only such bills as are actually
and necessarily incurred in directing
his duties. can be collected.
The Independent is not at all sur.
rrised that there is clasl, between
the commissioners and Mr.. Warren.
Our readers know full well how we
stood regarding his reelection. The
voters were made acquainted with
Mr.. Warren's methods before elec-
lion and one can hardly look for him
