Dolin VS.. Sheridan
County Case Tried

The case Of Joseph Dolin
against Sheridan County was
tried last Monday before Judge
Conner. Attorney Ellery appear
ing for Mr.. Dolm and County
Attorney Cudhie appearing for
Sheridan County.
This is a suit brought by Mr..
Dolin to collect money for print
ing furnished Sheridan county
between January LIST, 1919 and
April 1919, which claim was in
the sum of over $1,000 and was
cut by County Auditor O'Grady
to 1889 and a few cents.
The case occupied the atten-
ton Of the court all day Mon
day and it appears from the rul-
ing of the court that Mr.. Dolin
may get enough more than the
Auditor allowed him to pay his
attorney for bringing the suit.

500 Line Trains
Hampered by Drifts
500 LINE MAIL HAILED
FROM WESLEY BY FOUR
HORSE TEAMS - TRAIN
GOT THROUGH TO RAY
MOND THURSDAY.

TIL 500 Line has not been OBJ
ened since the big blizzard of
nearly a fortnight ago. All eff
forts made SO far by that rail
road to put trains through to
Whitehall have been fruitless.
Early in the week a train
was gotten through to Westby
and the mail was taken on
along the 500 Line by a four
horse team, and Wednesday a
train was put through to Ray
mond. It is expected that in a
couple of days more the trains
on that railroad will be running
normally.
The blockade of the 500 Line
has caused a great deal of in
convenience to the travelling
public, and it seems that the
warm weather is to be thanked
for moving the snow and open
ing the track, the task SEEM
ed too big for the railroad.

Through Attorney Vollum, acting a.
attorney for Grinde, it was agreed
to obtain the services of Cashier VIM
Erickson, Of Riba Bank, to re-checl
the books. Mr.. Erickson has spen1
most OF his spare time this winter
checking these books carefully. and
at the time Of the trial had sufficiently
checked these books to refute the
charges of Grinde that post office
money had been used in the business
operation Of the store. Mr.. Erickson
was subp0enaed by the government as
a witness. Mr.. Erickson could furth-
er show that over 5000 were iuqgled
on the store accounts. The first
checking was done under the atten-
ton OF Attorney Paul of Redstone.
and he was likewise called as a wit
ness, besides VIM, Nels and Peder
Moe. 81
While Grinde was being kept in the
county Jail the federal government
took him from the state and ar

The case was tried under Federal
Judge, George M. Bourquin. The
Jury was selected Friday afternoon,
the 18th, and the evidence against
Grinde submitted by the government;
the government restd its case and
Court adjourned till Saturday morn
ing: On Saturday morning, Grinde
had changed his plea from SsNot Gull

Judge Bourquin questioned deeply
into the affairs of the defendant
questioning Grinde himself, and
weighed carefully the circumstances
before pronouncing sentence, conclud-
ing he said, "The contemplate part
OF the matter is that you were placed
IN a position of trust. The punish
ment the government puts upon you
is done SO in the hopes that it makes
better man of you, and not only
that, but that it will serve in the ca
pacity of deterring other from COM

continued the entertainments Of these
funds over So long period, when If
You had had any honest convictions in
the matter this continuance would
not have occurred, especially when
You knew you would not be able to

The growth of the World War Vet
Grams has come from the rank and
file Of the soldiers, who went to
France to fight for an ideal, the ideal
embodied in the word, Democracy"
and who not only believe in democra-
cy for the downtrodden, subjects of
European despotisms, but also for the
people Of the United States, and for
the American wage slave, the serfs of
our despotic industrial Barons, who
rule with crueller hands than anv
European despot Of this or the last
century.
These soldiers have been attracted
by the slogan of the World War Vet
Grams, "The Interpretation of the
Constitution as it is Written" or in
other words, because of the fact that
the World War Veterans stand for
the ideals of the fathers of this re-
public, those ideals which were con-
secrated by their blood, and which
ideals are examplified in the ssBill of
Rights" by which is guaranteed the
rights of Free Speech, Free Press,
and Free Assemblage and The Rights
OF Petition; and also because the
World War Veterans have never been
implicated in any mob attacks on any
body or organization, nor have any,
body been deported or lynched under
their auspices, nor have meetings
been broken up or theatres mobbed
under the cover of their name: and
further because the World War Vet
Grams does not represent any aristo-
cratic officers clique, and because it

TURK NAT|QNAL|STS
BOMB BRITISH ARMY
CRv Associated Pressl

ONSTANTINOPLE, June II. -
British troops which are confronted by
Turkish nationalist forces on the Ismid
peninsula, in Asia minor, southeast OF
Constantinople are we'll intrenched and
we'll supported by the British feet in
the Gulf of Ianid and in the Bosphorus.
For this reason, no apprehension is
felt that the nationalits will attack
this city.
Nationalist airplanes are dropping
bombs on the British trenches for the
evident purpose of leading the British
into an engagement, but while the
British are sending reinforcements to
Ismid, there is apparently disposition
on their part to avoid fighting if
possible.
For the past two days, however,
there have been skirmishes along the
north shore of the Gulf of Ismid, and
British wounded are arriving here.
Guebda, near the gulf and half way
between Constantinople and Ismid. is
occupied by nationalist forces which
also hold the mountains north of the
gulf, but a short distance from Con

Motorists Throng to Make Enforced
Calls on Wenger; May Face Fine

A stranger in Richmond might reach
the conclusion these days that the
large gray stone building on North
Fifth street was the headquarters of
an automobile club from the large
number of cars now being parked in
front of the building, ranging from
WheeZy flivvers to lOrdly limousines.
Motorists have been making calls
upon Chief of Police Wenger to enter
detailed and eloquent explanations
just why they are positive the motor

to how the tail lights on their cars
happened to be out, and for any other
violation of the motor traffic law.
Chief, Sweet, Oh, So Sweet.
Chief Wenger beams sweetly upon
his callers, chides them softly but en-
phatically, and concludes each inter
view with a delicately expressed hint
that a second charge of the motor
traffic law is going to mean Good

BOOM oliver LAFUzE
FOR SPECIAL SESSION
SPEAKER OF HOUSE

With indications that Governor
Goodrich will call the Indiana legisla-
ture into special session, Monday.
June %, the question of the selection
of a speaker for the house Of repre-
sentatives is now to the fore.
Friday boom for Oliver P. Lafuze,
joint representative from Wayne and
Union counties, and a veteran mem
Der of the legislature, was launched by
a few Wayne county Republicans. Mr..
Lafuze is a farmer living in Union
county and is considered one of the
ablest members of the lower house of
the state assembly.
The speakership boom which has
been started for Mr.. Lafuze has not
yet assumed any considerable proper
tions, but his Wayne county friends
say that it is a decidedly active and
vigorous boom. Republican leaders in
Wayne county feel confident that if
Mr.. LafuZe desires to make an active
contest for the speakership he can de.
pend upon loyal support.
Don't Know of Campaign
Richmond friends of Mr. Lafuze
state that in suggesting his name for
the speakership they have not con-
suited Mr.. LafuZe. and that they do
not know whether he would care to
become an active candidate for the
office
At the January special session of
the legislature, which was quite brief
and the members served without pay,
it was possible for the former speaker,
Jesse +. Eschbach, who is now chief
examiner Of the board of accounts, to
assume the office again
The situation is different now, for
the impending specia! session will
probably continue for an indefinite
period, making it impossible for Mr.
Eschbach to accept the speakership
again unless he resigned from the
state board of accounts, which action
he might not desire to take
Senator Walter McConaha of Wayne
county approves the decision Of Gov
ernor Goodrich in calling a special
session OF the legislature. Mr. Nc
Conaha states that additional appro-
priations to meet various state needs
are imperative.

1t is probable that Chief Wenger of
the Richmond police department. and
Chief Miller of the Richmond fire de-.
partment, will consult with Senator
McConaha in the near future in re-
gard to the prospects of having an
