ASHLEY AN EASY VICTIM

The Ashley ball team came to Lin
ten last Sunday to cross bats with the
locals, and they proved easy pickings
for the home team. When the nine
innings had been played the score
stood 13 to in favor of Linton.
Joe Fairchild, Linton's twirler last
year, who sued the local management
for $125 more than he had coming
and later dismissed his case, pitched
for the visitors. He was wild and
ineffective most all the way. In ad-
dition to walking number of men
and allowing several long hits, he had
poor support at critical times. As
usual, Angel pitched steady game.
This is the tenth straight win for the
locals with Angel in the box.

was just about ruined, as cars hur-

on fire when discovered by two men
who were sleeping in q box car in
the railroad yards. It is thought
that the blaze started some where

SOMEBODY LIED"

The famous subterranean bridge
controversy remains in condition of
status quo. The bridge is there, the
grading has been done on both sides
of it. In fact, the Job is complete
except that no water can poss bly, run
under the bridge.
The Record last week reported that
crew of workmen had gone on the
land to the north Of the bridge to
dig new creek and that they stop
ped work when a warrant was sworn
out by Ben Ketchum, lessee of the
land, on charge of trespassing. The
Free Press also published a report
of the matter which contained the
statement that the owner Of the land,
one Mr.. Shields of Bismarck, had
given the county engineer permission
to go on the land and dig the creek.
Mr.. Ketchum was in Bismarck Sum
day and saw Mr.. Shields, who told
him that he had done no such thing.
Mr.. Shields told Mr.. Ketchum that he
had informed the engineer that they
should stay off that land until they
had legal authority to go on, and that
the whole thing rested in Mr.. Ketch-
um's hands.
In the meantime Mr.. Odenthal, the
contractor in charge Of the work, has
stated that he proposes to stay off the
disputed territory until he can legally
go ahead with the project.
AS the matter now stands, the
county has fine, expensive new
bridge. The Record respectfully
suggests that the commissioners hire
some one of their pets to stand out
there with a pail, and, after a rain,
when there is some water in the creek,
such person could bail the water out
of the creek and carry it across the ip-
tervening hill and under the bridge.
Some Of the county.s weed-diggers
might be thus employed when the
supply of weeds run out.
The Record has been informed that
the engineer had plans all drawn for
making new creek for bridge
near the Hal Tracy place in the Dale
|neighborhood until neighbors COM
|plained to Commissioner McConville
and he vetoed the engineers plans.

TAXPAYERS TO HIRE ATTORNEY
Movement Started to Start Investiga-
tion of County Expenditures
With View of Asking Governor IL
Remove Responsible officials

A nonfactional campaign has been
started to secure some official action
which will tend to curb the public
expenditures in this county. Money
is being contributed with which to
hire a high-class attorney to come
here and conduct sweeping investi-
cation and prepare case against
those found to be responsible for our
rapidly-mounting public expenditures.
DIR. R. R. Hogue and l.. D. Seeman,
backed by large number of the
heavier taxpayers of the county, have
been soliciting the funds and have
been having excellent success. The
demand for a thorough investigation
of conditions is almost universal.
Messrs. ,Hogue and Seeman, who are
heading the movement, have been
aligned with opposite local factions,
and have been personally unfriendly
for years. They are working together
on this matter because both are heavy
taxpayers and are suffering heavy
financial loss by the materially in
creased taxes. Old facitional lines of
all kinds are being buried in the uni
versal support the movement is receiv-
ing both morally and financially.
1t is planned to hire high-class
lawyer as the attorney to conduct the
investigation for the tax
payers. Persons who have not been
seen by the committee and who desire
to contribute some amount towards
the investigation are asked to see
either Mr.. Seeman or DR.. Hogue, or
mail check to one of them. If the
costs of the investigation should
prove to be less than the money
raised, the unexpended balance will
be pro-rated back to the donors.
