MINll. SHERIFF
PAYS CLAIM
MARTIN COUNTY OFFICER SET.
TIES SUIT FOR KIDNAP.
ING FOR $4,000 E

st. Paul, Minn.-By paying the sum
Of $4,000 to settle the suit for kid
naping brought against him by Jo-
seph Gilbert, the sheriff of Martin
county, Mimi, offers another acknowl-
edgment of the illegal acts against
the Nonpartisan league farmers in
this state. III
This case, concluded in favor of the
League man by being settled before
it came to court, was based on high
handed attempt Of this heriff to take
both Mr.. Gilbert and A. c. Townley
from the jurisdiction Of the Ramsey
county court. The two League men
has been indicted in Martin county on
the trumped-up charge of circulating
seditious literature in the midst Of the
1918 primary campaign. After they
had been freed on bail by the Ramsey
county court, the Martin county sher-
iff appeared suddenly at League head
quarters with the intention of spirit
ing both men away to Martin county.
Mr.. Townley happened to be in an
other state, but Mr.. Gilbert was seized
and hurried off in an automobile be-
fore court order could be obtained.
Long before the sheriff could get a
return train to Martin county, League
lawyers had a writ of habeous corpus,
but the sheriff was unable to surren-
der Mr.. Gilbert because he had already
sent him away in charge of a deputy,
The following day Mr.. Gilbert was al
lowed to return to st. Paul.
The Minnesota statutes provide that
a man thus deprived of his liberty can
recover a penalty of $40O., and suit
was brought against Sheriff Carver to
collect this amount. Attorney Allen,
who represented him, made desper-
ate attempt to have this suit tried in
Martin county, where the populace
had been thoroughly cowed by a Sc
ries of prosecutions which kept the
Martin county jail full of farmers and
others who had incurred the enmity
of the notorious prosecutor. But Al
len lost in this attempt, the court de-
Gliding the case should be tried in
Ramsey county, where the kidnapping
occurred.
The case was due to come up for
trial when Sheriff Carver made the
offer Of settlement. He confessed that
he had acted illegally and pleaded that
. the full penalty provided by law would
be a hardship upon him. Sheriff Car.
yer said that he had no intention OF
breaking the law and would not have
done so but for the orders and advice
', of Attorney Allen.
The trumped-up case which the
Martin county attorney brought
against Mr.. Townley and Mr.. Gilbert
was thrown out with whitening com
= = ment by the supreme court OF MIN.
nesota. Another case brought o.
about the same time against q. A
Lindbergh, the farmers candidate lo'
governor, was dismissed Deeos, beng
brought to trial.

farm homes to cost not more than
$4,000, or city homes to cost not more
than $4,000, upon paying 20 per cent
Of the purchase price, completing pay
ments over long terms. Homes are
to be secured by the state on the
wholesale plan to lessen the cost.
Linked with the same building bill
is the soldiers relief bill. This pro-
vides bonus of $25 for each North
Dakota soldier or sailor for each
month spent in the war service Of the
United States or the allies the money
to be used either as first payment on
a city or farm home under the home
builders act, or on the soldiers edu-
cation. .@ a..
The legislature has also made pre-
lininary provisions for the develop
ment of the Ignite coal Of North Da-
kota, providing for. experimental
work, on a commercial scale, to dem
onstrate the possibilities Of making
briquets, with gas as by-product
from the raw Ignite, and also for sur
veying the coal deposits, SO that the
next legislature may have informa.
ton necessary to make state develop
ment on large scale possible if it
is desired.
To make the industrial program
workable the legislature also passed
laws dealing with the railroads and
other utilities. The railroad rate act,
based upon. the Minnesota rate act,
which has been upheld by the United
States supreme court, ends the dis
elimination against North Dakota
and in favor Of the Twin Cities, so
that in future shipments can be made
with the state Of North Dakota, for
similar distances, for. as advantageous
rates as prevail in Minnesota or on
interstate North Dakota Minnesota
shipments. This will enable the state
elevator system to handle grain and
-four in competition with the millers
Of the Twin Cities and will also en-
courage the building up Of industries
and jobbing business within North
Dakota. The legislature also passed
. new public utility act, allowing for
the fixing Of rates in future on the
basis Of the money actually invested
in public utility, excluding unearned
increment from the valuation.
Tax Legislation.
The whole theory Of 3 number Of
bills, amending the taxation system,
is to place the heavy. burden Of tax
ation on profiteers, both corporations
and owners Of idle land rather than
upon industry.
The reclassification bill provides for
the assessment Of all lands city build
ings used for profit, and public utili-
ties, including -four mills and eleya-
tors, at 100 per cent. City buildings
used as homes BY their onwers, and
all personal property, are assessed at
so per cent. Farm buildings and i'm
provements and 81 900 worth Of farm
equipment and machinery are exempt
" Linked with this law Is the income
tax law, which exempts $1,000 tor
single men and $1,000 for married
men and those with dependents, and
then start with ! small Tux, one
fourth of 1 per cent On earned m
comes and one-haH of 4 per cent N
unearhed incomes q comp axed with
B per cent under the federal lAsE. Thus

Assistant States Attorney Torger-:
son, Of jamestown, and Harry Rit-
gers, court stenographer, were j. the
city short time Saturday evening.
They had been up to Courtenay inves-
tigating the death of twelve year old
daughter Of man and wife (name we
did not learn) who died recently under
suspicious circumstances. The par
ents were unable to get a permit for
burial and the authorities were look
ing into the matter. It was discover
ed that the girls body was covered
with bad bruises and this leads to the
opinion that perhaps foul play has
been exercised in the case of this
death. The father skipped out when
the authorities arrived but was found
after long search. More investiga-
ton in the matter will be made.
