BANKS REFUSE TO

tf6catos OF deQosit that the bankers
issued to Lawrence Larsen just be-
fore he went out of Office, and which
were due July !. and while some OF
the bankers paid up like good boys,
others were probably unable to do

whether they paid the certificates
or not, they all gave Jensen lot

opinion OF "a county treasurer who
was 30 unreasonable as to take
money away from bankers who
needed it badly. ,T'ney can't see
any justice In a county treasurer

poses when the bankers need it so
badly, and did not hesitate to tell

certificates which were due or not.
Some refused to pay on account OF

they had counter claims, and 4 tn

he didn't know him. and that Men-

CROPS HERE ARE
BEST N LAND

While 1t is generally admitted
that the small grain crops on the
flats in the B0wbells and Coteau
territory look better right now than
they ever did since the country was
first settled, we And that the crops
in the hills average several inches
taller, and have slightly longer
heads. Tom Stagg has field OF
winter rye consisting OF about 40
acres Just on the edge Of the hills
southwest OF Coteau which is Just
little bit better than any We have
ever seen. It averages consider
ably over four feet high. and come
estimate that 1t will thresh over IS
bushels to the acre. There are
other rye fields that are almost as
good. and the harvesting of this
grain will take place under normal
conditions probably the latter part
OF next week. The wheat Is pretty
we'll headed out all over and with
the cool weather we have been en-
ioying during the past ten days Is
coming fine. There is plenty OF
moisture in the ground all over
Burke county. and the extremely
hot weather Of two weeks ago did
not seem to do any damage. II
this cool weather continues for an
other two weeks there will be ample
moisture right now to make good
crop OF wheat. So far there has
been no hail in Burke county this
season. and IL the cool weather con-
tinues there Is little danger from
this source. :

better and committee was ap-
pointed to set date some time In

appointed TO employ an auctioneer

will take advantage OF 1t and that
most Of the stock offered for sale

ty that is hard up, and he cannot
be arrested for that.
II the editor OF the "black flag"
sheet will only come to Bowbells
and show us where Mr.. Jensen
could have paid single warrant
more than what he has paid he will
not only be doing us a favor, but
will also be favoring the taxpayers
of the county and. Mr.. Jensen as
we'll. We know that Mr.. Jensen
would like nothing better than to
be- able to pay all warrants on pre-
sentation. He can have absolutely
no object in holding onto county
money and register warrants. II
the Columbus animal knows OF any
reason that Jensen might have for
not paying the warrants We would
like to know what 1T is.
Where are the county funds now?
Mr.. Jensen most certainly hasn't
got them in his sock, and IL he has
any friends among the bankers he
has not yet got ahold of any money
to deposit with them. The same
hungry bankers that got practically
all the county money from Law
renee Larsen last April on time
certificates OF deposit still have this
money and are using every means
of hanging onto it. They can't
see any justice In Jensen wanting
to use the county'si funds for coun-
ty purposes, and raise lot Of noise
every time a dollar is Withdrawn
from them. II Mahoney and his
banker friends will simply show US
where and how Jensen can pay the
warrants he is registering, we will
promise that the warrants will be
paid
For the first time since. early last
winter Mahoney In last weeks is
sue Of his black flag sheet denies
that he is the breed Of a free low
err that we have always accused
him OF being, and says that the
only reason he did not deny the
charge before was. that he did not
want to Involve some good families
in explaining his acts onothe dates
in question. He now admits that
he did pulIpm something that would
involve some good" families, and
that he doesn't want to expose eth
er himself or the good familieS'.
The records at the states attorneys
Office here show just what Ma
honey's personal habits have been,
the testimony on file there is sworn
to. and it will do the free lover"
no good to deny 1t now or any 9TH
er time. But while we think OF
it, why does Mahoney want to pro-
teit some good" families who have
been involved in his Tree love"
habits, and at the same time lie
like trooper about other families?
why are the families that were un-
fortunate enough to get mixed up
with this black fagger any better
than the families OF the county of
dcers? VIII Mahoney kindly ex-
plain to us why he il Justified In
refusing to publish the truth ebout

The Columbus Reporter, a black
flag sheet, for about the fifth time
announces to its readers that The
Tribune has quit arguing with the
s'free love" seditors OF the county,
and still insists that j. r. Jensen
has about $4,000 Of county money
with which he could pay county
warrants IL he was disposed to do
SO. We invited this "free lover"
to Bowbells one before. and asked
him to go to the court house with
us and ascertain for himself just
how much money there is available
for the purpose Of paying county
warrants, but instead of coming he
continues to lambast everyone con-
enected with the county. He was
satisfied in his own mind that he
was not telling the truth about the
county funds, and did not care to
be proven liar.
The records in the treasurer's Of
fee show just how much money
there is available for the purpose
of paying county warrants, and
these records are open for inspec-
tion to everyone. The state law
compels the county treasurer to
pay warrants IL he has money with
which to pay them. and II there is
*$75, ,000 available for this purpose
1t would be very easy matter to
obtain court order compelling
Mr.. Jensen to pay. that $4,000 in
a. hurry. Why aren't Mahoney's
banker friends getting such a court
order? Why aren't the townships
and school districts that need the
money badly getting such an or
der? They have all investigated
and found that Mr.. Jensen had not
only paid out all the money that
the law allows him to pay out, but
even more. His seed and feed
fund was up to the first of July
overdrawn about $4,000 and this
was replenished only within the
last few days.
81, It is true that Mr.. Jensen now
has cash and demand deposits to
the amount Of $4,000, but the
state laws will not permit him to
use 1t for any other purpose than
pay seed and feed warrants. The
county board at a meeting several
weeks ago attempted to transfer
this seed and feed fund to the gem
eral fund so Mr.. Jensen could pay
warrants with it, but the board was
advised that such an act would be
Illegal, and it was not done.
Z IT the bankers and the free low
err, are so sure there are available
funds In the general fund to pay
the warrants why don't they get
the court order? Why don't they
have Jensen arrested for failing to
perform the duties Of his Office?
II there was the least cause Tor ar
resting him you can bet your last
dollar he would have been arrested
long ago. The bankers are watch
ing him like a hawk, and the least
irreguiarity In his Office would
bring hin on the carpet. These
same hungry bankers haven't had
him arrested yet, and there ID very
little likelyhood that they ever will.
The only thing that they can find
against him ii the fart that he
doesn't dish out the county funds

The law provides that the state

One case in which the physician was

If the board should decide to take

that some physicians who have been

object to paying a fine. But they
would object strenuously to having
their licenses to practice revoked
