PATTERSON Carnival
COMPANY IS COMING
WILL ASSIST IN ENTERTAINING
THE ELKS DURING BIG CON-
VENTION WEEk-l5OO ELKS
WILL GATHER IN THIS CITY.

There is something doing in the Mi
not Lodge of Elks, every minute these
days. The boys are going to enter
tain the Elks of the state at the an
nual meeting Of the State Association
of Elks, on the Both of June and the
LIST Of July. An expected attendance
of fifteen hundred Elks in this city on
that date, makes every member Of the
local lodge get up on his toes. There
are nine Elk lodges in North Dakota
and each of them will be represented
by numbers of from fifty to two hun
dred members with a band each, so it
can be plainly seen that there will be
quite gathering in the Magic City
on June 3Oth. The preparation for
this number of visitors to the city is
a tremendous undertaking, and the To-
cal boys have had hard work for the
past month in gathering the details
and talks in hand, but things are going
good. This is one of the most import
ant gatherings that this city has ever
entertained, and it is the duty of every
citizen to aid the Elks all in their pow
err. The Elks are not asking the citi-
zens for any financial assistance, al
though the expense is heavy, but they
do ask that the glad hand be extended.
A thing of interest in connection
with the convention during the week
Of June 10Th, including July 4th. This
is one Of the greatest carnival COM
panies Of the world and Minot is in
deed fortunate in having them visit us.
The Elks have many things planned
for the entertainment of the visitors,
but perhaps the greatest thing Of in
terest to the persons not Elks is the
parade on the second day of the con-
vention. Every Elk in attendance will
be in line, in costume and many new
features are to be introduced.
Finally the local lodge, not to be
slow, have invested in fireworks dis
| play, which they expect to use on the
Fourth for the visitors; this a good
move so let's all help.

Sheriff of Ward County in 1904, and
during his four years in office, he DEM
onstrated that he will not.
At the very threshold of his politi-
cal career, his mental processes dis
closed unequalled elasticity, a disre-
gard for penal statutes, willingness
to violate his oath Of office, desire
to ignore his prediction promises,
and disposition to repudiate his NOR
al obligations.
Section 1888 of the Penal Code Of
this state for the year 1905, the same
being the law Of the State Of North
Dakota since 1877, and relating to
crimes against the elective franchise,
provides, "OFFERS OF OFFICE,
HOW PUNISHED. Every person
who, being a candidate at any election,
offers or agrees to appoint or pro-
cure the appointment of any particu-
lar person or persons to Office, as an
inducement or consideration to any
person to vote for, or to procure or
aid in procuring the election of such
candidate, is guilty of a misdemean-
or" penal Code 1877, Sec. SO; Penal
Code 1899, Sec. 6S58; Penal Code 1905,
Sec. S588..)" s&H
The violation of the foregoing penal
statute by Mr.. Lee was in making q
contract, Mr.. Lee was q candidate for
the Office of sheriff. He offered and
agreed to appoint Mr.. Carroll deputy
sheriff and also to split sheriff's fees
with Mr.. Carroll. The contract made
by him as heretofore published in this
space was as follows:
"This agreement made and entered
into this 10Th day of May, 1904, by
and between w. J. Carroll and John
]. Lee,

sideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained that we, and
