VETS AND DRYS IN
COURT TILT HERE
Judge FIaherty Grants Leave to
Amend Petition After Hear
ing Both Arguments

Wet and dry forces from Wilkin
county where contest has been start
ed following the victory Of the drys
in the recent county option contest
were in court before Judge Flaherty
in this city Friday morning when a
motion to strike out the county op-
tion petition in Wilkin county was
argued. After a lengthy hearing
Judge Flaherty decided against tte
vets but gave leave to amend the
petition. The saloon men regard the
decision as victory but the drys
look at it differently. Disinterested
attorneys in Morris believe the drys
lost no important ground.
Attorneys Wyvell and George Smith
of Breckenridge. appeared for the
saloon men. Senator F. H. Peterson.
of Moorhead; Ex-District Judge ".
S. Lauder, of Wahpeton. and L. A.
Jones, of Breckenridge, appeared fol-
the county option forces. Senator
Peterson is the author of the county
option bill which became a law and
under which the county option election
in Wiklin county was held.
The election in Wilkin county re.
suited in victory for the drys by 9
small majority something like 26.
Breckenridge cast heavy liquor vote
while the countryside was strong the
other way. The contest was exciting
and the liquor forces are said to hav'
spent an enormous amount Of none!

saloon men decided to. contest tn
election on the grounds of illegal vot
ing and submitted about a dozel

who cast votes: also on the ground
of a failure to close ballot box upo

at South Haven July 22

Mrs. Mary Howe Bragg, one of the
early settlers in the township Of
Darnen, passed away at the home of
her son. August Bragg, at South Ha-
ven, Wright county, Thursday after
noon last week. Mrs. Bragg left
this vicinity about three years ago
and last May went to the home of her

forces consequent upon old age.
The remains were brought heresSat-

the remains to the cemetery where
they were laid at rest beside her
husband, the late Hezekiah Bragg,
who died in 1892.
Deceased was born at Glasgow.
Scotland, July 2, 1886, and at the
age Of four years came with her par
ents to Ottawa. Canada, where she
grew to womanhood. In 1856 she
was married to Hezekiah Bragg and
four years later came with her hus-
pand to Red Wing. In 1877 Mr.. and
Mrs. Bragg arrived in Stevens county,
settling on a farm in Darnen. Many
of the old pioneers in Morris and
Darnen remember Mrs. Bragg and are
paying many respects to her memory.
Among the settlers at that time Mr..
and Mrs. Bragg were held in high
esteem and were we'll known for their
charity and kindly disposition.
Deceased was the mother of thirteen
children, eleven of whom survive her.

Peterson TO FACE
BULLS And BEARS
Popular Deputy Clerk of Court
Quits Job TO Become a Grain
Buyer at Alberta

After having served as deputy
clerk of court for period of over
nine months W. T. Peterson this week
rendered his resignation to Clerk of
Court L. P. Norby and will retire
from the Office about August Is.
Emil Gilbert is the new man select
ed by Mr. Norby and he has accept
ed. 81 am sorry to part with the
services of Mr.. Peterson" said MIR.
Norby yesterday. "He has proven
himself capable ana trustworthy
young man, and has kept the Office
in apple-pie order all of the time.
Mr.. Gilbert who succeeds him is too
we'll known in the county to need an
introduction, and l feel fortunate in
securing his services. )"
Mr.. Peterson has received a fat.
tering offer made by the Farmers
Elevator Co. at Alberta to become
manager for their grain house which
position he accepted last week. He
was manager of the elevator for q
period of five years before he re-
signed to take up the work at the
clerk of courts Office. His wrestling
matches with the bulls and bears in
the twin city and Duluth wheat pits
netted handsome dividends for the
company and the fact that he will
meet them again with the new 1915
fall crop is encouraging to the AL
berta stockholders and farmers alike.
Mr.. Peterson expects to be on hand
on or about August Is and will move
his family to Alberta as soon as he
can secure suitable residence. The
best wishes of Morris friends go with
them.

Dare Files Bond

No material change has been made
up till today in the school treasurer
ship muddle in district 18, town of
Scott. Robert Dare, present Treas
urer who claims the vote in the last
school election stood z to z, leaving
him in possession of the Office, has
fled his bond and means to continue
Office till successor is elected. Roy
Davis, who was candidate and who
claims he was elected over Dare with
vote of 8 to. 6, will probably drop
the matter. A. j. Nelson and L. C.
Dorweiller, two Chokio business men,
have signed as Mr.. Dare's bondsmen.
According to more accurate reports
from the school district Dare and
Davis are both new arrivals. Dare
came about year ago and Davis ar
Erived since that time. Old settlers
IN the district claim some difficulty
has been encountered in finding men
who would serve as school treasurer
and last year Mr.. Dare was induced to
take the job. At the last school
election Davis friends urged him to
make the run against Dare and the
contest resulted in vote of z to
according to Dare, and Davis claims it
was 8 to 6. No official recount has
been demanded. The moderator al
the meeting failed to cast his vote
which would have broken the tie il
Dare's claims are correct.

DRYS SPEND $425
IN OPTION FIGHT
Cost of Victory in Stevens was
Small and Receipts Exceeded
the Expenditures

1t cost the dry forces $425. AZ to
defeat the saloon men in Stevens
county in the recent county option
election according to the figures filed
with County Auditor Wollthan last
week by Frank Ware, treasurer of
the anti-saloon organization. The
drys won the election by majority
of 173 votes and according to the
expense account each majority vote
cost them a fraction over ST.
They say it was worth all of that.
The account shows that Mr.. Ware
received $432.69 as treasurer of the
organization. The sums contributed
to the cause ranged from 25 cents to
$25 and came from interested persons
in every part of the county. There
were several $25 contributions but the
average amount was $500. In the
disbursements the item of printing
and postage was the lar7est with
$82.22. Postage required, $63. 81 ,
and the cost of furnishing speakers at
the dfteen or twenty meetings held
during the campaign amounted to $50.
The smallest item on the expense list
is So. 90 for drayage.
The cost of the campaign to the
liquor men has not been made known
for no expense account has been filed
with the county auditor. According
to the Interpretation of the election
laws by Attorney General Smith, sc
days after election5 are allowed tt
file the account. The time expired
on July 21. Up till today no state
ment has been filed and some of th'
vets who are in position to know
say none will be filed.
