defalcation on the part of former
county auditor, together with inter-
est and expense. The bonding COM
panies paid the principal sum without
much trouble, but refused to pay the
interest and expense u auditing the
falsified books by expert accountants.
1t appears that the board Of county
commissioners were of the opinion
that they did not care to authorize adj
ditional litigation expense, and ap-
peared to be in the T.iood of dropping
the matter. About this time Mr.. Muir
tina, who was states attorney, resigned
his Office and made a proposition to
the board that he would fight the mat
ter out with the boring companies
at his own time and expense If they
would give him one-half of whatever
amount he recovered. The commits
sioners agreed TO TINS and q contact
was made. Mr.. Murtha recovered
nearly $4,000 additional from the
bonding companies, put in his bill for
half, and in due course Of time was
paid.
Several citizens OF the county OBJ
jected to this arrangement in the be-
lief that Mr., Murtha. or his successor
as states attorney, should have car
ried these suits to a final conclusion
as a duty pertaining to their Office,
without additional compensation. The
matter was carried to the supreme
court from which it was returned to
the district court for trial.

LOOKS TOO INNOCENT
TO Be REAL SHERIFF

Lisbon, N. D.. Jan. 1.--R. w. Craig
of Lisbon, a son of Rev. r. H. Craig,
formerly pastor of McCabe Memorial
Methodist Episcopal church and now
with a charge at Dickinson, is sheriff
of Ransom county, but he looks like
most anything else under the sun
than a typical sheriff.
The sheriff often finds it rather en-
barrassing not to look the part. 1t
is very common for visitors to hustle
into his office with the statement:
Il want to see the sheriff"
Very we'll" replies Mr.. Craig.
And the visitor waits, and the sher-
if waits.
Finally, the visitor says:
Really, / must see the sheriff
don't you think / can see him now?"
You are-you can-Pm it," asserts
Mr.. Craig, aud then there are ex-
plantations and apologies.
Despite his youthful appearance,
and the fact that he weighs about rs
pounds less than an average sheriff.
and is a lawyer by profession, Sheriff
Craig has succeeded in cleaning UP
Ransom county to point where law
breaking has become very uncommon.
