Sheriff w. w. Butchart has be-
gun mandamus proceedings IN Dis
trict court to compel Victor Dash |
to turn over the sheriff's residence
to him. Mr.. Butchart claims he is
lawfully entitled to occupy the |
quarters which he claims were in
tended for the use of the sheriff /
and Mr.. Dash will not give up the ;
building in view of the fact that he !
holds a lease issued by the board
of county commissioners. Judge
Dibell allowed the writ and desig-
mated Saturday, Feb. FL, at $3.50 a.
m. as the time and place for the
respondents to make their returns to
the writ and show cause why they
should not give up the possession.
The legal fight over this promises
to be interesting.
According to advices from the |
Mesaba range another movement is |
to be inaugurated looking to the |!

range citizens, among whom is May |

to have two bills introduced in the
legislature at this session, one of /
which proposes law under which |
st. Louis county may be cut in
twain, the object being to make a
separate county of the Mesaba
range. The other provides for the /
holding of district court sessions in |
some of the range towns for the |,
settlement of cases originating in
that territory. The Biwabik Iron
Ore says that the bills will be in |
PRODUCED in the senate by Senator
Hawkins of Biwabik and in the |

The legislature is indulging in
considerable horse play these DAYS
with their anti-kissing bills and |
their bill to give mother of trip

The husband of the mother of the

the act as does the legislature and
has deserted his productive better
half. +. +. Bowling is the author
OF the triplet bill and considerable
sport has been had at his expense
since.
