Cousin of B0lun,an County
Treasurer Blanles TOtten
For Young Mans Downfall
In Open Letter Tells How socialstic Poison Seeped Into
System of Relative; Also Throws Light On Suspen-
sion of Sentence to Pen, Blaming Townley Gang.

Bowman, N. D., June lin the
following letter. published in the
Bowman County Pioneer, Leroy
,Swartwood, a cousin to T. E. Austin.
tells something of hat young mans
history. Austin was recently found
guilty of creating a shortage of $4,000
in the county ~treasurer's ONCE mere,
was sentenced to serve three years in
the p~enitentiary, but the sentence was
suspended by Judge Lembke on the
condition hat Austin pay the $4,000
in three years.
The Letter.
Swartwood, N. D.-Upon seeing my
of the "Mis-leader" three weeks in
succession, 1 feel that I shall not be
accused Of picking on" the editor if
I say a few words in reply to his last
harrangue. You are touching upon a
subject which l am glad to AVE an
opportunity to discuss. namely, that
Of T. E. Austin.
When Ted came to Bowman about
ten years ago I met him for the first
time since l, a boy of twelve, said
goodbye to a boy Of six on a depot
platform in an Iowa town, when two
sisters said farewell. both leaving for
homes in different states. The one
was my mother and the other was
Ted's.
Meet in Bowman.
AS the years rolled by we met again
in the town of Bowman and after
visiting for a while we walked up the
street into the office Of E. P; Totem.
where a crowd had gathered listening
to the Rev. Geo. A. giving his IDEAS in
general, and in particular I remember
his saying that lit is impossible for a
man to be honest and make a succes
Of life" He said hat his father had
tried to teach him to be honest
Think" said the Rev. George, what
a handicap to put upon a young mar
to start out in life with the admoni-
ton to be honest!"
Influenced BY Totem.
Ted and 1 left and going to our
rooms talked over what had been said,
marks Of His Reverence" had any
influence upon Ted. Time went on and
Ted became a follower Of the Tottenl
and then we drifted apart. We met
occasionally and talked things over
and I told him he wasionAthe wrong
track, but he CAV me to understand
that he needed no advice. Finally he
became deputy treasurer and a.pal OF
c. E. Joyce and right in line with H
B. French. And then for a few years
we parted company.
Goes to Jail.
Not long ago., being in town,
heard thai he was In jail.and. felt that
I ought to go to see~him and hear hii
side of the story. I met q different
man from the one I used to know.
met Ted Austin, graduate Of H. B
French's school. I met a man who
had been following the teachings Of
the Bowman Leader and the rest OF
the Nonparttsan papers. He told me
how he had a stand-in with the state
officers and how he and Joyce wer<

there was no danger of his going to

the "bunch." That they had every
thing In line but the county attorney
and he would be easy"
vas taken before Judge Lembke.
pleaded guilty, was sentenced to three
years. but sentence suspended, pro-
vided he paid back about $1,000 in
three years time. I should like to ask
Judge Lembke how you expect a man,
starting out without a dollar, to nave,
and above his living. $1,000 in three
years? Why did you not sentence
him to go out n rob a bank and pay
it OF? You might have sentenced him
to hold up a train and get the money
in short order. You might have adj
vised him to do as Townley has done,
go out and hold up the farmers Of
North Dakota.
How About 500?
/ want to ask you Mr.. French, how
much Of that money did you get hold
up 500 to you at m time. Did you
get any more? Don't o think it
would be a good Idea to put at least
that 800 back in the county treasury :?
When you have a crowd Of young. men
standing on the street, telling how
everybody is a crook, n 1T doesn't
pay to be honest, amt you proud of
your teachings? When you try to
degrade the churches and pull the
schools into the political miro into
which you have sunk, are not your
followers proud of you?
When you attempt to ruin the char
acter Of every honest man and woman
who stands for what is right. don't you
suppose that that dirty bunch who
are setting you on are very proud of
your teachings??
In conclusion, I'd like to say to the
readers of the Pioneer. If you think
I am writing this for honor, money or
distinction, you are mistaken. 1 am
doing what I know is right, my bit in
lighting b most heartless organiza-
Ettion within what ought to have been
lone of h best organizations OF today.
With my N~onpartisan neighbors
calling me everything imaginable and
taactually believing I am doing it for
money. whatever the future holds in
store for us I want you to remember
that you had at leasrone citizen who
was not afraid to do all he could for
the side that he knew was right.
When I think Of the young men
in this country who have practically
nothing to read but the string Of Non
partisan papers, I feel that if I can
keep one of them from following in
the steps OF I. e. Austin I shall be
we'll repaid.

The governor asserted that the in
