has been awarded pension of $24 a
month from the government. Mr.. Lee,
who has been a county charge for
several years, residing at the county
farm, has 81, 1850 back pension COM
ing within few days, which with his
monthly pension will enable him to
spend the rest of his days in independ-
ence, surrounded by all the comforts
of life. The old gentleman is alone
in the world but he will be enabled to
go where he pleases and when he
pleases, and as he is a man of frugal
habits, his pension will permit him to
purchase all of this worlds goods that
he needs.
Mr.. Vandenoever naturally feels
little elated over securing the pension
for this man for he has worked on it
for several years, spending many
hours of his time. When Mr.. Vanden-
oever became county commission
nearly five years ago, he met Mr.. Lee
and when the old gentleman applied
for aid, he inquired why Mr.. Lee had
never asked for a pension. The old
soldier replied that he had been able
to "hoe his own row. for half CEN
fury and he did not care to bother with
the red tape necessary.
Mr.. Vandenoever took the matter
up with the pension department, but
had a hard time getting action as the
war records were not very complete.
Lee did not have proof of the date of
his birth. Affidavits were filed show
ing where the man resided between
1850 and 1860, and the various bat
ties in which he took part. Mr.. Van

KENMARE POSTMASTER
WAS SUSPENDED
O. l.. TOftner Removed From Office
Temporarily Because of Alleged
Discrepancy in Accounts
Friends Believe Him
Blameless

o. L. Toftner, formerly of this city,
who has held the position of postmas
ter at Kenmare during the past year
and half, has been suspended by the
postoffice department., pending an in
vestigation of his office.
Mr. Toftner visited Minot this week
and appeared before u. S. Commits
sioner r. E. Hopkins, who placed him
under $50 bonds for his appearance
in federal court. His case will prob
ably be heard in November, unless the
department should straighten out the
irregularity in his office prior to that
time.
Mr.. Toftner has employed Halvor
L. Halvorson, well known Minot at
torney, to appear for him.
From what the Independent can
learn, Mr.. Toftner's slight shortage,
which amounted to only 1892, has been
fully made up. When Mr.. Toftner
learned that there was slight irregu-
larity in his accounts, he Immediately
furnished check on the Farmers and
Merchants Bank of kenmare for $500,
and subsequently, paid the $32. Mr..
Toftner explains that he has no idea
how the shortage came about, but his
many friends in this vicinity, who have
always known him as a man of integ-
rity, are certain that Mr.. Toftner will
be able to explain satisfactorily to the
department and that he will be again
placed in charge of the office at an
early date. Interesting developments
are looked for. 1t is said that Mr..
Toftner is not the only man in the Of
flee who had access to the records and
the cash.
Mr.. Toftner's assistant, Mr.. Holmes,
has been placed in charge of the Ken
mare office. The Kenmare postoffice
pays a salary of $1,000 year.

CUSTER LAW IS HELD
VALID BY JUDGE COLE
Fargo Jurist Contends that Governor
Has Power to Fire MinOt Mayor
Appeal Will Be Taken

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 1O.-The statute
under which Governor Frazier execut-
ed the suspension order to GUST Mayor
W. S. Shaw of Minot from office was
held constitutional in decision hand
ed down this afternoon by Judge A. T.
Cole.
The court holds that the statute, by
implication, includes the president of
the city commission and that the gov
ernor has power of suspension and
removal from public office such men
when evidence warrants. Appeal will
be taken to the supreme court. While
the case is pending, Shaw will con-
tinue to hold Office
Counsel for Shaw contended that
the statute does not apply to the pres
ident of a city commission.
The action is the outgrowth of raids
by Attorney General LANCER. Cover
nor Frazier charged that Shaw did
not use due diligence in suppressing
illicit liquor traffic in Minot.
