inaI Charge.
IRVING In MORE TROUBLE
Batch Of Interesting News Items
from the Capitol Of Sargent
County.

A Forman grapevine dispatch
says that J. R. Craigue, local
druggist, fled to Minneapolis. Some
time ago he was arrested on a
charge Of violating the prohibition
law. He was out OH bail and his
bonds were forfeited by the court.
It is understood that he has reiml-
bursed his bondsmen and that a To-
cal bank has foreclosed mortgage
on the drug store. Craigue is a
fugitive from justice and subject
to arrest if he returns to the state.
Edward johnson was convicted
and sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary OH a charge Of crimi-
nal relations with Frank Nickerson
Of this county. The husband has
taken the woman back to his home
and forgiven her part in the of.
fense. He was the complaining
witness against johnson.
A Judgment of about 81 800 has
been virtually agreed upon against
former County Auditor Irving
now in California. Prior to his
departure he paid about $500 to
the county. Since then shortages
OH his fees have been discovered
which made the additional amount
mentioned.
The commissioners are seeking tc
collect the fees allowed for the sale
Of hunting licenses in addition t.
other fees. This has never beer
attempted before, as the county au
ditors are regarded as acting al
agents of the game and fish boarG
Of control, and are paid 10 cent.
each for the sale of resident hunt
ing licenses.
Jean Breyer, who brought al
action against his wife's parents
charging alienation, lost his case
Early in the trial the action d
gainst X. N. Myhre was dismissed
by the court. The evidence against
Mrs. Afyhre was stronger, and til,
case went to the jury, which de
cided in favor Of the defendant.

WELL SETTLES DOWN

The artesian we'll on the U. E.
Bergstrom farm near Cayuga has
settled down after being on the
rampage for five years. At times
it was practically clogged up by
sand. Later it would become un-
usually active. and could scarcely
be controlled. At other times it
would throw out quantities of sand
and be so muddy that it was unfit
for use. Recently, after an unus-
ually violent eruption, the water
cleared up and the we'll is now,
giving the best service since it was
sunk.
