The thing that matters is that
Cunningham took Dorothy Moore,
mere child-woman, with a flower-like
face so sweetly innocent that no
man, however much of a roue he
might be, could for moment be-
ieve the girl was anything but
good girl, and that when he left her
he had branded her with his unclean
touch.
There are men who never stalk
prey unless they are positive it has
not been wounded by any other hum
ter. There are men who boast of
this decadence.
Whether this was the first good
girl Cunningham ruined is not
known. If it was he is quite mas

A STATEMENT AS

On June 9Th this paper published a
statement, as an advertisement, over
the signature of j. v. lessen, regard
ing the Stark county warrant forger-
les, the collections from bond COM
panies on account Of the same, etc.
F. A. Roquette, a member of the
board Of county commissioners and T.
F. Murtha, former states. attorney,
have called u attention to figures
contained in said statement which
they say are erroneous. The state
ment in question was not prepared
by the publisher of the PRESS. How
ever, n who is in a position to
speak from his knowledge of official
records has prepared the following
affidavit, which is published as an adj
vertisernent, at the request Of Messrs.
Murtha and Roquette:
State Of North Dakota 5.
j.. L. Hughes, being first duly
sworn, says: That he is now and at
all times since December 23rd, 1909,
has been Auditor Of Stark County,
North Dakota; that the total amount
paid out by Stark County on account
Of forged and illegal warrants and
refund orders, including all illegal
paper, issued by former Auditor J.
S. White is $30,518.76; that between
May 18th, 1911, and June 9Th, 1911,
the county recovered from the surety
companies $33,553.O4, and on Septem-
Der 10th, 1913. the further sum of
$9,589.43, making a total recovery by
the county Of $43,142.47, or $12,623.71
more than the county paid out. The
four suits upon which the $33,553.04
was recovered were commenced about
September 18th, 1910, and according
to the decision Of our Supreme Court,
in the City of Dickinson VS. White
and Northern Trust Company, 143
NV, 754, the county was entitled on
June 9th, 1911, to recover $30,518.76 ,
the actual shortage, plus interest at
7 per cent from time of bringing
suit (Sept. ~, 191O) to June 9th,
1911, a period of less than nine (9)
amount to less than $1,000, bringing
the total of what the county was en-
titled to up to about $32,120. The
first four: payments overpaid the
county, and the last collection of
$9,589.43 vas clear gain to the
county. The county recovered
enough over and above the amount it
was legally entitled to to pay all at
torney's fees and costs of collection.
The suit against the Northern
Trust Company under which the last
mentioned sum was recovered was
commenced July oath, 1912.
