County Commissioners
Held mot Guilty

out a proper Indictment being pres
ented by a grand jury. While there
is no question the county commission
ers had no right to charge for auto
mobile hire while viewing bridges ana
roads, as the law ~contenplates their
per diem will pay such expenses
it was not a proper charge against the
county, but such an allowance OF
illegal fees cannot be brought q
the chapter in question without being
indicted.
AS to the balance Of the specitica-
tons under charge two, that is for
allowing bills not properly itemized
or verified and entering into con-
tracts for bridges without advertise
ment and buying goods contrary to
the statute without advertisement, as
the court views the law this does not
come within the section Of the law
under which the defendants are pro-
secuted, as the charge is n for
charging illegal fees and falling TO
perform the duties of the office, ana
the court holds as a matter OF law
that doing and performing the duties
of the office improperly is not Wltnln
the statute a failure to perform the
duties of said office While these ir-
| Irregularities may be grave. under this
particular provision Of the law they
| cannot be held guilty, even If the
proof is satisfactory to show that
| such duties were improperly per-
formed.
There is another matter which
should be called to the attention OF
the defendants for their guidance In
the future and for the guidance OF
the county commissioners in the
future, and that is the fact Of one
commissioner inspecting roads and
bridges and charging for the same
1t is improper, unless by a resolu-
ton Of the county commissioners he
Is appointed as a committee for such
purpose. 1t leaves the road open for
various inspections when it is unneces
sary, and thereby adds to the expense
Of the county without In specific
authority for so doing. 1t is pre-
sumed that the county commissioners
as a body will determine whether OIL
not the inspection Of such work Is
necessary, and If it Is necessary tc
examine it in a body or delegate one
of the commissioners to inspect the
same under proper resolution from
the board entered of record, and with

HAZELTON CREAMERY
READY TO START

HazeIton, N. D., July 1.-THE Hazel
ton creamery is ready to start. All
machinery is in place and Butermaker
RollapsOn is on the job ready to start
the wheels just as soon as the supply
of tubs and other little necessities ar
rive. These have been delayed on &C
count Of Washouts on the railroad, b 1t
it is thought they will be here by Tho
end of the week, and If so the instilu-
ton will Immediately start buying
cream and begin production.
1t was the intention to start the
plant much earlier but at this season
Of the year it is a hard matter to get
a man to take charge, as most Of them
are hired early in the spring. This
matter delayed the local plant over a
month, but now everything is again
ready and Hazelton will again have
the distinction of operating the. only
creamery in the county.
The managers Of the plant will see
to it that farmers get a proper test or
their cream and the highest marke'
price so that there will be no need OF
shipping your cream. The creamery
needs it all and Is willing to pay tt
get it.
Every farmer owes it to himself ant
his neighbors to patronize the loca
plant, If he is not the loser thereby
land keep all the money at home. By
so doing he is increasing his own farm
valuation, reducing his taxes an
making the community a better on
in which to live.

POLICE AFTER NAN

Mott, N. D., July 7.-Charged with a
countries have begun a systematic
search for Frank Watrang, alias Wot-
erang, who is wanted in Hettinger
county.
Watrang is a young man of not
more than 27 who has lived
north of Regent for several years.
During last year he became inVolv-
ed in some trouble which resulted In
his arrest and trial before Judge
Crawford at Mott. The defendant was
placed under a heavy bond and since
his release, he is alleged to have re-
peated his heinous crime on a IA
year-old girl.
Watrang made his getaway before
the officials of the county had been
notified Of his acts and for nearly two
months the sheriff has been quietly
working on the case, with the result
that a clue is now in his possession
which may lead to his arrest at any
hour.
Leaving Hettinger county, the de-
PENDANT made his way to Montana
working north from there toward SEQ
by, where it is supposed that he cross
ed the line into Canada. He is sup
| posed to be IN the vicinity west IRON
Weyburn, Saskatchewan.
A good description of the much
wanted man has been SEN to the
mounted police of Canada and there Is
little possibility that he can escape
their clutches, as their police organic.

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles Of years
| standing by this treatment, and so sue
| cessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the eff
feet Of the medicine is sufficient to con-
vince any one of its remarkable effect

feels like a new person. Mayr's Won

The SAVIOR

Antler, N. D., July 7.-One Of the
most distressing affairs which has
ha1Ipened in his community occurred
last Friday when C. O.. Kjeseth, a
farmer living just a few miles south
west of this city, attempted to take
his life by cutting his throat with a
razor.
Mr., Kieseth has been laboring under
q religious and political delusion for
several months past and has neglected
his family and business affairs 70 no
small extent, the family suffering
great privations because of his neg
iect. but the matter was brought to a
head when Antan Kalstad, one Of his
neighbors, went out to the field where
he was wandering around, and found
him with a razor cut in his throat and
II was with considerable difficulty
that he got the instrument away from
him without injury to himself and
Kieseth as we'll. Mr.. Kalstad imme-
diately got the injured man into a rig
and brought him to town, and DR.. Per-
rim dressed the wound, which Is not
serious, although it required eight or
ten stitches to sew 1t up. kjeseth hao
started the razor just under one ear
and finished under the other, put al
no place had he cut through n OF
the vital parts.
At this time he Is being looked after
nv he authorities and will be taken
before the insanity commission, where
he will undoubtedly be adjudged in
sane and taken to the state asylum
| For some time he has posed at Jesus
Christ, and at times threatened the
| destruction Of his family. This is no
the first time he has had an attack Of
insanity.

HOhESTEADER HAS
DISAPPEARED

Ornegard, N. D, July 7.-Ole Slowly
a homesteader living south Of Cherry,
who disappeared suddenly, as II the
earth had swallowed him up. about a
month ago, has as yet not been heard
FROM None of his neighbors can &C
count for his sudden disappearance, as
everything was we'll arranged prior to
the day he left. He had about forty
acres Of ground prepared for the seed,
and everything planned out for the
season.
He was last seen by three Of his
nearest n%eighbors, as he had planned
On going to Schafer, and had spoken
to his neighbor to feed and care for
pected to be back again the next day
about noon, but since that time moth
ing has been heard Of him.
Mr.. Slowly was a very conservative
man, and financially well fixed, having
one-half a section Of fairly good land,
o young horses and the necessary
machinery for farming. He was well
liked by his neighbors, n at the time
OF his disappearance, had q good sup
ply Of provisions in his house. A
searching party Of about forty neigh
bors was formed, who secured the
country all through. in that district

ance but found no trace of the missing
man. All the coulees and ravines
were also searched, besides some
empty wells on his claim.
Some advance the theory that he
followed up a coulee as far as Cherry
Creek, then struck across to Arnegar6
or Rawson and took the train from one
of these points but no n in this
territory had seen him, The searching
party broke into the house, n found
that a razor and small mirror was
missing, which leads some to believe
that he has committed suicide. His
sudden departure may remain {
mystery for some time, and may never
be cleared up.

BACHELOR FARMER
ENDED own LIFE

Manning, N. D., July John j.
Sampson, a bachelor farmer, committed
suicide. Coroner Smith, Sheriff Kas-
par and Undertaken Price went at once
to the Sampson home, when notified,
and found the body lying upon the
floor of the shack and a 38 caliber re-
volver near. The shot was fired
through the right temple, the bullet
passing through the brain and out
through the top Of the head at the
junction of the frontal and two pari-
etals.
He was last seen alive by members
Of the Johnson family, living nearby,
Wednesday morning, when he was at
work on his farm. About loon Mrs.
Johnson heard three shots fired at the
Sampson house and the deed is sup
posed to have been committed at that
time. Christopher Young found the
body.
Deceased was about 40 years of age
and had been drinking heavily for a
considerable length Of time. 1t seems
that several years ago he was shot in
the head and his temporary derange-
ment may have been due more or less
to this cause. In a letter left for
States Attorney earns he stated that
he had done wrong and was sorry fol

Manning, N. D., July THE county
commissioner Of Dunn county, charg-
eI with misuse of funds. were found
not guilty. The case attracted wide
attention. Following is Judge Craw-
ford's decision In full:
State of North Dakota versus Paul
liner, E. J. Pletan and w. P. Beatty.
After a careful examination of all
the authorities obtainable and In
light Of the statute will find the de-
PENDANTS not guilty for the following
reasons:
In the specifications in charge one
where the defendants admit an error
in computing the bills allowed by
them will say that it Is the duty Of
. the county commissioners to pay that
into court irrespective Of any order
and as soon as the facts are discov-
cred.
The most serious question and
where the court had considerable
doubt as to the guilt of the parties
was in the item and charge of going
to Fargo in attendance on county
business, and the court holds as a
matter Of law that proof must be
clear and satisfactory in order to find
defendants guilty under the section
of the law under which the defend
ants stand charged. While the court
cannot go into the advisability of
spending the amount they did for the
purchases made, nevertheless, the
court is not in position to correct err
rors If they are acting within their lega!
rights, and under the law they have
a right to charge their expenses and
per diem in the transaction of county
business, but there Is no question but
what at the time such trip was made
it was the intention to meet with the
county commissioners at Devils Lake
nevertheless, If they were t~ransactlne
county business and did both on the
same trip it is not sufficient grounds
for remova from office. If both trips
were combined into one n the coun"
ty charged per diem and expenses
The section Of the law specifically
exempts fees charged and paid by the
county before the services were
rendered.
Under charge two and the various
specifications hereunder, as the court
has already indicated in his oral an
nouncement at the time Of the trial
the seven specifications were no
properly triable before the court with
