MORE TANCLES IN

Fees Collected Not Recorded
Bookkeeping System Lax
Will Explain.

That the method of keeping &C.
counts of the receipts Of the munich
pal government Of Duluth are lax is
evidenced by the findings OF the ac-
countants within the past few weeks.
The latest discrepancies are in. the
receipts of the municipal court,
which win all be explained at1zfac-
toily, it is believed, by the deputy
clerk.
It was dep1orab4e that undue motor
iety was given the deputy clerk, who
was appointed by Judge Window,
thereby casting reflections upon his
character, before he was given an
opportunity to defend himself. The
fault is not with any individual but
largely because of a faulty system of
bookkeeping.
While, without a doubt, there were
openings for graft" in the methods
employed, insinuations of such are

Joe 'Merenda Goes to Jail In

~ To go to Jail at the request Of his
attorney In order to bring city or
dinances up Tor hearing under habeas
corpus proceedings was the, experi-
ence Of Joe Merenda, Jttney driver,
last Tuesday. Merenda was one of:
seven jitney men arrested for failure
to, conform: to the requirements Of
the Sifberstein ordinance in regards
to the fling OF surety bonds covering
indemnity insurance, by jttneurs. f.:
f. Judge Cant in district court Tues
day morning issued a process against
Sheriff Meining directing him to pro-
duce Merenda in court and show
cause why he should not be released
from the county jail Merenda,
through his attorney, A. e. McManus,
asserted that his arrest and detention
at the county Jail on charge Of vio-
lating the ordinance are unlawful and
the burden now rests upon, the city
prosecutor to show the tact to be 9TH

t In his petition for a writ of habeas

Jurisdiction OF the municipal court In
committing him to Jail in accordance
with its terms In passing upon the
question Of whether Merenda's de-
tention by. the Jail authorities is law
full or not, the district court will rem
der decision on the validity Of the
Silberstein measure.
Claim Ordinance Is Void.
The point which Merenda urges is
that the ordinance Is void and inef-
fective because OF the failure of the

A large number of visitors were in
attendance from nearby locals. Twen-
ty-five machinists from Superior and
several from Two Harbors took part
in the festivities and all went home
convinced that they had a "big time"
The "blow-out" was a semi-climax
1or rather a post-celebration of the
1oint picnic held at Fairmont park
earlier in the month and was the
means of the participating members
wearing off the immense amount of
enthusiasm that was worked up at
the real doings.
Several short talks of interest to
the machinists were given. Otto F.

Superior was among the speakers.

Those in charge at the city hall
say it is ridiculous to impugn wrong
motives to the deputy and point out
that it is hardly possible to hide any
discrepancies that may occur. No
charges were made by the examiners
who feel somewhat chagrined over
the undue publicity given the matter.
Undoubtedly the city council will
take the matter up within short
time and have a better bookkeeping
and record system installed so that
the auditor will be able to make a

MCINTOSH HOTEL is
BURNED AT NIGHT

Mcintosh, s. D.-The Standing
Rock hotel. one of the largest hotels
between Aberdeen and Miles City.
was destroyed by a fire which broke
out early in the morning. The value
of the building. with furnishings, is
estimated at $4,000, the structure
itself having cost $4,000. The fire
broke out about 2:15 O'Clock in the
morning. the night Waterman first
discovering the flames. The land
lord and his family. the employees of
the hotel and all the guests escaped
safely. but the flames spread 50 rap
idly that many Of them escapsd with
nothing but their night clothes. and
many had their eyebrows and hair
singed, so close We're the flames. The
fire is supposed to have been start
ed by the furnace. The general
store of Waffle 6 Borah, but three
feet from the walls of the hotel. was
saved with difficulty. The less is
partly covered by insurance.
