The one big issue at the meet
ing of the county commissioners
in Pine City this week and the
one which attracted large dele
cations was the proposed rcdis-
tricting Of commissioner districts
in the county. Tuesday.
Eastern Pine County won its
battle-what they have becn
fighting for the past half doaeu
years that Of getting commits

and south principally along tho
500 Line and to take in the
sparsely settled parts Of tho
county where the interests are

well represented at the hearing
which commenced about 1890 in
the forenoon and lasted till 3
o'clock in the afternoon. with .

Pine delegation numbered about
100 and loomed up strong. They
were headed by +. T. Hogan

maps drawn and other facts and
figures on hand, showing that q
concerted action had been taken
by the 500 Line people to win
this battle and in the words Of
f. T. Hogan get for eastern Pine
County and new settlers a
fighting chance.
When the meeting was opened
Chairman Nels Oakland an
nounced what arguments would
be heard from interested parties
in all Of the five districts on the
redistricting as outlined by the
committee of the commissioners
and those from district one were
first called upon. j. j. Madden
Of Pine City. expressed himself
as being opposed to any changes
in districts one and two and
said that he was also of the opin-
ion that that was largely the
sentiment of the people through
out these two districts. Frank
Drimmel, town clerk Of Cheng-
watana, expressed the same opin-
ion.
Geo. G.. Wallick said that the
town of Barry which is closely
allied with the village Of Hinck-
ley wanted to remain in the
same district as it.
Geo. II. Cunningham Of Stur-
geon Lake, and Swan Peterson.
Oscar Oswald and others from
the northwest end Of the county
expressed opinions from there as
to whether they desired to be in
districts 4 or 5.
About this time p. A. Sand

the eastern Pine delegation pre-
sentcd maps showing district 5
as proposed by the county COM
missioners' committee and also
as his people desired to have it.
A recess was then taken for
lunch during which time also all
the morning session proposals
were digested. The morning ses-
sion was rather quiet and no ex-
element was stirred up but the
afternoon session was more live
ly and almost stormy at times.
When the afternoon session
had gotten well under way it
was plainly apparent that the
whole fight was on how district
No. S should be shaped. The
commissioners had proposed that

Also all necessary household table and

then mortgaged the horse to the bank. 2.
The same man owes me service fee for
a. colt Ny time for filing a lien has ex,
pired. What are my rights in each case?
R. A. E.
1. You should have taken the hogs
and sold them yourself, as the mort
gage of the bank must be paid before
the money that is due you for the sale
of the horse. 2. Your only remedy
is to bring action against him for the
service fee, and if he has property you
can satisfy yourself out of the same.
1. My husband sued me for divorce un-
der the laws Of CALIFORNIA: ii9 l. ignored nc s,e the
to obtain divorce from him? What are
MINoT.
1. No. It is not necessary to do so,
but you should secure copy of the
decree in your husbands case in order
to make sure that you are divorced
and avoid rendering yourself liable
for bigamy. 2. A common law or in
formal marriage is valid in most
states. All that is necessary is that
the parties consent to presently live
together as husband and wife. The
fact that the statutes prescribe GER
tain formalities for the celebration of
marriage does not render such mar
riages invalid unless such statutes ex-
pressly so declare. A common law
wife has all the rights of wife mar
ried in the formal manner required by
the statute provided she can prove the
marriage. Most of the trouble with
such marriages is due to the difficulty
of proving that it was marriage in
stead of an illicit relation.

/. Will you please tell me what, the
bankruptcy law of South Dakota is? 2.
If man goes into bankruptcy do his cred
itors not have to leave him a certain
amount of property &C. M. S.
1. The bankruptcy law is federal
and not a state law. It is the same in
all states and provides method
whereby embarrassed debtors may
claim an exemption, surrender all the
rest of their property to their cred
itors and receive a discharge from all
present debts and also relieve all the
property that they afterwards acquire
from the payment of debts owed at
the time of going through bankruptcy.
The law provides that the amount the
debtor is entitled to claim as exempt
is to be determined by the state where
he resides. 2. Yes. See the answer
to H. G. T. in this issue.
WIDOWS RIGHTS
l. Does widow get the homestead in
North Dakota in case there are no debts?
2. What percentage is the inheritance tax
of North Dakota ?-B. P. s.
The widow is entitled to the home
stead during her life; after her death,
if there are no children, it goes to the
heirs of the husband. This is the
disposition made of it in the absence
of a will. The husband can by will
give the property to the wife. 2.
When the property does not exceed
$4,000 and in case the person entitled
to the property is the husband OF

ing converted back to the counties
where it came from, but for use only
on the maintenance of state or federal
aid roads. Since there is, as yet, but
little of this sort of work to be done in
the state, much Of this money has not
been spent. That accounts for the
item of $7S0,000 in the above table. We
can have the auto tax if we will raise
it and if we will give all of it, instead
of 15 per cent. TO the road board, and
we can have the item of $7S0,000, now
held by the road board, if the counties
