Last week, at Montevideo, Mimi,
young, good looking stenographer
was acquitted of murder for killing
fellow employee where she worked.
The testimony showed that she. had
fired three bullets into the body Of
the young man with whom she had
been keeping company, and that be
died therefrom shortly thereafter.
The defense was that the shooting
was purely accidental, the defendant
claiming that the first shot followed
her effort to pull back the barrel Of
the gun, and that her mind was q
blank while the other shots were fired.
After the shooting she opened the
door Of the room they were in and
then sat silently in chair while the
victim Of the shooting lay upon the
floor Of the room.
We didn't hear the evidence In the
trial, but It would seem that the jury
were 'from Missouri" =. alright.

There is a considerable amount Of
discussion going on in Linton right
now over the quality Of work being
done on the new school house. We
are told by some that the work will
not stand up, that building in the
winter time is bad, etc., etc. Others
tell us that a good job is being done,
and that most of the complaints heard
come from local contractors, or their
associates. The Record freely adj
mits that so far it has been impos-
sible to know definitely which side is
right. A former employee Of the
local bridge company is voicing the
suggestion that the Record ought to
be going after the school contractor
as it did the bridge company. If the
gentleman, or any Of his hackers, will
give US something tangible to go on
we'll print it, never fear. But we
don't intend to open mp on any suct
proposition until we know where w
are at. In the meantime, our col
umns are open to any Of the loca
contractors who, as taxpayers ant
citizens, should make public any in
formation they have which would b'

ally, the school board is a mixed af-
fair, and the position Of the various
members Of the board is not along
factional lines. Personally, the Rec
ord believes that all Of them are hon
estly endeavoring to do the best they
can for the district. The contractor
is bonded, and we are told that he
has handled other large jobs. When
the job is done, if it isn't right, the
contractor can be called to account.
But, in the meantime, the columns Of
the Record are open to any discussion
of the matter desired.

ceased to be the least bit interested
in what the other bunch planned on
doing. We made the guess that
they would suspend publication be-
cause we thought there was enough
brains in the bunch to know better
than to sink a few thousand more
during the next two years in a bum
proposition. If they haven't got
enough yet, or think they are stuck
SO badly that they can't let go, we
should worry.
It is also true that the Record said
before election that one or the other
papers would have to quit. That
statement was made on the assump-
ton that. to run the business would
have to pay its way. For a long
time the other outfit hasn't been pay
ing it's bills. Even small labor checks
have been turned down. They are
head over heels in debt, in spite Of
the fact that alleged editor seems
content to work for barely enough to
pay his board.
The boys seem nightly worried
over the Records interest in their
affairs. To calm their fears, it be
ing near New Years, we will make a
resolution, and that is, so far as the
I- =-
Record is concerned, to forget that
It's competitor is on earth at all.

The grain grading law recently in
itiated is being attacked in the Fed
eral courts. The Courier News at
once attacked the attorney general
with being in "cahoots" with the enc
mics of the act. Mr.. johnson at
once appointed Seth Richardson,
league candidate for the Supreme
court in the recent campaign, to rep
resent the state. Now, the c. N.
says Johnson retained Richardson be-
cause he wasn't capable of handling
the case himself. Guess that's get

result will make further law in the

The Bismarck Tribune was defeated
by a small plurality in the three
cornered race fol. official newspaper Of
Burleigh county. Now, the Tribune
is contesting the election on several
grounds. One Of their main points
is that stockholders and persons
financially interested in one Of the can
didates for the place acted as election
officials in many Of the precincts. I'm
der the Law, no candidate for Office,
nor his son, brother, father, son-in-
law, brother n;law or father-in- law,
can act as Judge or Inspector. Two
years ago, large number Of the
Judges and inspectors Of election in
this county were financially interested
in one of the newspapers seeking to
be chosen as official newspaper. The
condition might arise again. There
fore we are watching with consider
able interest the position the courts
will take in the question raised by
the Tribune.

COMPROMISE NEAR
 IN TARIFF DISPUTE
By Associated Press

Washington, February 21.--After a two days row over American valua- ton, republican tariff framers of the House and Senate got down today to the basis of a possible compromise. Two plans were said to have been proposed with the understanding that when the senators had decided on one, the House members would be called in again.
 Under one of the plans as explained by Chairman Fordney, of the House ways and means committee, ad va lorem duties on imported merchandise comparable with American made goods would be assessed on the basis of the value of the domestic produced article. Imported goods not com parable with the American products would pay duty on the basis of the wholesale selling price of those goods in American markets.
 The other plan. Mir. Tordney said, was to assess all ad valorem duties on the basis of the wholesale selling price of the imported articles in the markets of the United States.

COURT APPROVES REORGANIZATION
 AMERICAN CITIES
Plan to Be Carried Out Immediately by Committee of Bondholders, Is
 Statement
By Associated Press

New Orleans, February 21.-Judge Porter Parker in civil district court here late today denied the request of group of New Orleans preferred stockholders in the American Cities company to prevent the sale of cer- tain securities of the company and the proposed reorganization plan of bondhelders of the company.
 The court held that the plan of reorganization was in good faith with the unanimous approval of the bondholders and was not in violation of the spirit of the trust deed entered into by the Whitney Central Bank. of New orleans. and the American Cities company in 1911.
 The sale of tife securities held by the bank as collateral for defaulted bonds in 1919 by the American Cities is scheduled to be held in New York Thursday, and the reorganization plan evolved by a committee of bond holders of the company will be car ried out immediately, it was said.
 Judge Parkers decision followed the argument of counsel representing both sides covering the entire court SesSions oi yesteruay anu t0udy {. Charges of attempts to freeze out the preferred stockholders was de- nied by the bond holders committee who declared they represented more than 75 per cent of the company bond holders. They also declared that by terms of the agreement en- tered into by the Whitney Central bank and the American Cities com pany in 1911 they were given prior claim over preferred stockholders.

 Borden Burr of Birmingham arous- ed much enthusiasm at the banquet by his hearty indorscment of the Au- burn drive and the additional state ment that no other educational in- stitution in the state should inter- fere with the enthusiastic drive for Auburn.
 In view of the fact that Mir. Burr is a Graduate of the state university, his remarks aroused great deal of enthusiasm and were taken to indi- cate that the state university would hold off an active campaign.
 MT. DeBardeleben declared that the people of the state should see to if that the next legislature looks out for Auburn, declaring that the great educational institution had been neg lected by the legislatures of the past
