COLEMAN CAUSES TALK
coIeman's Statements Criticised
Court Expenses--Superyisors
Long Session.

Many comments have been heard
in regard to the communication Of
Mr.. G. G. Coleman, Supervisor
from Beat 5. in Wednesday s Lead
er. in regard to the status Of the
county's financial affairs. What
ever may be ones impressions Of
the article it must be conceded that
the financial statement made by
Mr.. Coleman is quite indefinite and
incomplete. At the beginning and
the conclusion of the article it
seems that an effort was made to
give the people a complete resume
of the county's income and expense
accounts. Upon examination of
the auditors books at the Chancery
Clerk 'se Office it appears that the
statement in Mr.. Coleman's article
that the books are incomplete for
the years 1906 to 19l0is unfair to
the auditor and seems to be an err
roneous statement. The books
seem to be in first class shape,
showing for every year up to date
items of expense and credits in
detail. with annual fiscal recapitu-
lations following each years ac-
count.
A partial statement of the court
expenses for the several years COW
cred IN the Coleman article shows
very conclusively that the courts
brought about the great bulk of
the county expenses. Many citizens
cannot understand how it is that
the general county expenses should
SO increase from year to year; nor
can they understand how it be-
comes necessary to borrow large
amounts of money on interest
bearing bonds when the assessment
valuations in the last ten years
have increased to such a large
amount. thus making the income
from general taxes so much larger
than was the case years ago.
Inc courts seem to spend too
much money and it is also a fact
that the long sessions of the Board
call for county funds, in the trans
action of its business. Really, a
good financial account of the
Boards stewardship from year to
year would be good reading matter
to every citizen of this county.

johnson Draws a
four Year Term
WHITE SLAYER W,ho REFUSED TO
STAND TRIAL IN BARNES CoUN-
TY PLEADS GUILTY At FARGO

(From Tuesdays Daily
After a jury had been enpaneled to
try his case yesterday and after Helen
Reitan had told her story in district
court yesterday afternoon, William r.
Johnson pleaded guilty to violation
of the state white slave laws and was
sentenced to four years in the state
penitentiary by Judge Pollock. The
prisoner broke down and wept when
sentenced.
The end of the trial was expected
to prove one of the most sensational
and was dramatic. During the en-
panelling of the jury which began
when court opened Monday morning
Johnson sat with his attorneys and
held frequent conferences. The selec-
tion Of the jury was made with ex-
treme care and nearly the entire ven.
ire had been exhausted before the
jury was finally selected at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
There were persistent rumors about
the court house at the noon hour
that Johnson would plead guilty be-
cause he was not pleased with fac
ing the jury which had been chosen
so far. A conference was held with
his attorneys in the judges cham
bers but no action was taken at that
time and the case continued in the
afternoon the jury being finally
agreed upon at o'clock.
Judge Pollock then excused the re-
naming jurors and excluded all
spectators and witnesses from the
court room and the first witness for
the state, Miss Helen Reiten was call
ed. She related in detail the story
which has already been published
concerning her relations with John
son.
AS soon as the witness had finished
telling her story johnson again
conferred with his attorney and then
through counsel asked the permission
of the court to enter plea of guilty.
Judge Pollock held a conference with
the attorneys on the opposing sides
and agreed to accept the plea.
johnson stood before the court
while Judge Pollock reviewed the case
and pronounced sentence Of four years
st hard aabor in the state penitenti-
aFy.

SLEEPY LITTLE TOWN ON THE

COMMERCIAL LIFE.

Lucca is fine town, a representa-
tive of the Times Record was there
Monday for a few hours and was roy
ally entertained. Some of the most
noticeable changes in the town is the
new hardware store which has recent
ly been opened up by J. R. Love and
Illinois man. The store is beauty
and has the appearance of prosperity
The owner, Mr.. Love, is booster
that is sure to make winning of the
business and if the men of the town
will follow his lead Lucca will come
back to its place on the map and
make a town worth while yet. Mr..
Love is a man of a broad experience
and has at various times been asso-
ciated with men of prominence and is
capable of making things hum. He will
probably be confronted with the old
fossil sooner or later who has liv-
ed in Lucca for many years and thinks
everything is good enough but there
ought to be enough young blood in the
community to organize boosters
club that will really do things that
are worth while.

VINO are compelled to stop there since

ent boosters for Lucca and they admit
that one Of the principal reasons
why they like it there is because the
place is so close to Valley City where
their daughter is attending the Nor
NAL. A visit to some Of the business
places gave one the impression that
they lacked in the optimistic spirit
but that will wear off in time under
the sunny guidance of the sunny ma
lures that We met in other places and
We hope to see Lucca yet appreciated
by the inhabitants of the place.
