CASES AGAINST MATKIN
AND TIMMONS THROWN
OUT OF DISTRICT COURT

OUI Or DISTRICT COURT
Word has come back to Scobey that
the cases against former County Com
missiOners Jud Matkin and Jake Tim
mons for asking and receiving brides
in connection with the seed grain deal
have been thrown out Of court. On
what grounds the court based its ac-
ton we have not heard.
Sheridan county had gone to some
expense in connection with the cases
and the defendants petitioned the
court to have the case taken to an
other county, which was granted.
Of course, there certainly could
have been no graft in connection with
the seed grain deal. That was impos-
sible. The staunch nd true 100 per
centers in charge Of Sheridan county
affairs in the good old days wouldn't
even taken a. penny from a blind or
phan, no stree.
That 100000 which former Treas
urer Rex~Movius coughed back to
the county to keep from going to Jail
was not a part Of the graft, Oh, no.
That was just hard earned money thar
Mr. MOvius had earned and saved by
weary toll and frugal living.
And that $475.OO which Joe Dolir
paid this fall to Sheridan county fol
seed grain which was not mentioned
on the books was not a part of the
graft. Indeed mott Joe wouldn't accept
seed grain from the county unless he
paid spot cash for it. Ard the fact
that the county had to sue him fol
it before they could get it was just a
mere incident that Joe overlooked
while he was busy figuring claims
against the county for printing.
And when the special auditor want
ed to investigate the books of the ole
line elevators which sold seed grain
to the county and the auditor was in
formed that the books were destroyed
before a certain peculiar species Of
paper worm ate them all up, he
shouldn't have thought for a minute
that the old line companies were pro
tecting the commissioners or anything
like that. Why, no. Old line elevator.
companies wouldn't stoop to such
things.
And the fact that nearly all tn,
seed grain sold to the farmers at wal
/ prices was mostly a fair lot of screen.
ings and noxious weeds, and the com
missioners signed an agreement to eff
feet that the elevators would not b,
held liable, had nothing whatever tt
do with it and just shows how hones'
men are sometimes misunderstood.
And when warrants were drawn fOl
about Is cents more per bushel thar
the claims called for no one SHOULD
have objected. What right has +;
damphool farmer to object when hun
bred percenters know what is best fo
the deer peepul.
All these things merely prove tina
the commissioners and their bench
men are perfectly innocent of an.
violation Of the laws or any Irregular
ties in office.
It certainly is peculiar how peopl
get such outrageous ideas into thei
heads But what puzzles us is: VIII.
did they want to go all the way owe
to Malta to get thrown out of court
Judge Conner could have done tina
just as well as Judge Borton, and a
much less expense.
