Devine Met Burdick in Debate.
Governor J. M. !Devine met Usher l..
Burdick in debate at big farmers
picnic at Newberg, yesterday, relative
to the firht for governor. Mr.. Burdick
occupied some AZ minutes and asked
Mr.. Devine about 20 questions. The
governor had but 20 minutes in which
to reply and he answered Mr.. Burdick
in q most convincing manner. Mr.. De
vine said that he had no desire to say
anything against the candidacy d'
Mr.. Burdick and would not throw any
mud if he could, but he considered that
owing to the fact that Mr.. Hanna has
held the Office but one term, he de-
serves reelection in order to carry out
the work that he has so nicely started:
The debate was one of the best of its
kind ever held in the state. e.

OLDEST SON OF H. p. HANSEN

WAGON.

The oldest son of H. P. Hansen, of
Donnybrook was so terribly mutilat-
ed by being trampled upon by
frightened horse last Saturday, that
he died the following day. 1t seems
the boy was at Charlie Harold's for
load of water and just as he had the
barrels filled and was preparing to
leave, one Of the horses became frigh-
tened and he went to the horses head
to quiet it when it reared up and in
coming down struck the boy with its
fore feet, crushing him to the ground
and trampling upon him.
The horses then started to run,
drawing the heavily loaded wagon ov-

SUPPORTER OF JOHN J. LEE
COMES TO THE DEFENSE OF
FRIEND IN. RED-HOT CAM
\ PAIGN NOW BEING WAGED
FOR sHERIFF''s NOMINATION.
|itor of The .lndep,eandent:

Editor OF Inc INDEPENDENT:
I see my friend Pete Vandenoever
has taken it upon himself to contra
dict my statements in the Independent
in regard to the Sheriff's Salary Law.
Mr.. Vandenoever, in his article, how
ever, does not try to refute what said
in regard to that, but goes to work
and brings up something else to hurt
John j. Lees candidacy for sheriff.
Mr.. Vandenoever mentions the I. w.
WIS and tells us about the desirability
of good government. Mr.. Vandenoe-
yer certainly does not intend to create
the impression that Mr.. Lee is against
good government as he knows that
M. Lee is good citizen and is in
favor of good government and the en-
forcement of the laws. The insinua-
ton in which he tries to connect Mr..
Lee with the I. w. WIS is one of the
most ridiculous statements that I have
ever seen in print and it will not hurt
Mr.. Lee in the least where he is
known. Insinuations like that will
have tendency to create a false i'm
preston about Lee where he is not
known and that is perhaps the object
of Mr.. vandenoever's statement. It
IL very UNFAIR 1OT I'VE. VaHueNOeVeE
to attempt such a thing.
In reading over Mr.. Shaw's writings
in the Independent I find another
statement that seems to me to be
Mr.. Shaw claims that when Mr.. Lee
equally ridiculous and misleading.
was collecting delinquent personal
property taxes he was dealing with
the county as private citizen and not
as sheriff. In reading over the law in
regard to this it seems to me that the
authority Of collecting those taxes is
vested in the sherif's Office. The law
says nothing about private individuals.
Section 1859, r. c. Contract for
Collection. In any county where for
any reason personal property taxes
that have been delinquent more than
one year remain unpaid, uncancelled
or not put into personal property tax
judgment, or in any county where de-
linquent taxes have been put into tax
Judgment, the commissioners Of such
county may contract with the sheriff
Of the county to pay him percent
age Of such delinquent personal prop
erty taxes, or personal property tax
judgments, as compensation for COL
lecting the same, in lieu Of or in addi-
ton to the compensation now pro-
vided by law. And such expense Of
collection shall be borne pro rata by
the state, county, city, village, town
ship or school district in which such
tax is paid"
In reading this section Of the law
it seems that the fact that Mr.. Lee
was under contract with the county
to collect those taxes did not deprive
him of his authority and privileges as
sheriff. Section 1861 Of the Revised
Code seads: Neglect or Refusal of
Sheriff. Penalty. : and any re-
fusal or neglect on the part Of the
sheriff to perform the duties herein
provided, wherein he fails to collect
such delinquent taxes, shall be deem
ed malfeasance in Office and he shall be
liable to the county for the whole
