Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 19-Reports Of
the examiners who have been working
on the records of the State Auditor
KositZky's office for the past month
were used Tuesday as a basis for the
mandamus action brought before the
supreme court by Tax Commissioner
George Wallace to secure his salary
warrant. Kositzky cites in his brief
that prior to the Wallace claim there,
were $172,S75. 81 of unpaid bills and
since then there, have been $78,464.64
additional claims with no money in
the general fund to pay them.
Wallace based his suit on the
grounds that Kositzky did not have
the right to transfer funds paid by
counties for care of insane, feeble
minded or tubercular patients to the
three separate institutions. Kositzky
cited section 2572 which reads sand
the state auditor shall pass the same to
the credit of the hospital for the in
sane," and clinch his authority by cit
ing Section 1858 which in part reads
Each county shall pay the charges
for the care of patients to the state
treasurer to become fund **** for
the maintenance of the institution"

Toll the bells, toll the bells,
Solemn and slow
Let the world know
A whole nations woe.
Toll the bells toll the bells,
The knell it has sounded, -
A leader is dead;
His brave voice is silent,
His great spirit fed.
Not now shall we praise him,
Except by our grief;
The future his virtues
Will carve in relief.
Over his pail
Let our tears fall;
Profound is our sorrow,
Dark looms our tomorrow.

He spent and was spent
For Truth and for Right,
He gave of his best,
He fought the good fight.
The fight is not ended,
For traitors still throng,
Though he who defended
His country from wrong
Who bore every test
Has passed into rest
Bring garlands of flowers ''-
To cover his bier,
Let not a coward
Dare to come near.
The man of the age
Has gone from our ken.

His equal again.
