It would be interesting to know how many other Emmons county settlors the state s attorney has "bsckcapped" to the sneaking bunybodies known as "com- mercial agencies" that seeks to piy into the affairs of private citizens. The writer gets a number of these inquiries every year, and be.at once turns them over to the parties inquired about, for tbey'best know the condition of their own business. Yet-some people say. that a sneak and a backcapper should be elected because, forsootn, the other man is "a stranger." An Illegal Tax Levy, During Mr. Armstrong's term as audi- tor he put on the books a county general fuod tax levy for 18B3 of 8 4 mills on the dollar and for 1894 of 7.3 mills on the dollar. Tet the law stated plainly that 0 mills was the highest that could be levied for that fund. And this wholly illegal tax came out of the tax-payer. We give this item to show that while in the audi- tor's office Mr. A. did just as he pleased, regardless of tax laws. Biamarok, N. D. FRANK a ORAMBS. (Successor to Henry W.

R. L. BEST BISHABOK, GO. •s, N. D. ^ - 4jL .'Jfr M i' > The editor of the Record has for sev- eral years been antagonistic to tbe present state's attorney. He has an- tagonized him because he has known him to be dishonest and crooked in his methods. There could have been no other reason, because neither of the two men has ever sought tbe office wanted by the other. It is much more pleasant to get along in peace with every one; but' the publisher of a newspaper owes ..cer- tain "duties to the people, among sucb duties being the making public of every- thing that should be known concerning, the luitbfulneas and honesty of those who aspire to public office. Tbe people have no other means of obtaining full knowledge of such matters except through their .local newspapers. There- fore, In this article, we shall give some of the facts that have caused us to denounce Mr. H. A. Armstrong as crooked and dis- honest, knowing full well the punish- ment that the law of libel inflicts ia case we cannot prove our charges. The Cherry U nt * Ratfeeirr. * In 1884 two directors of Cherry Groye district culled an election on the quiet to vote $8,000 of bonds to build two school- houses.; The school laws were weak in a good many placea in those days. The fact that an election was, to be held was kept from tbe Record editor, although at that time bis pre-emption waa in that district, and he had a vote there. The bonds were voted, most of tbe people of that district not'knowing that an election was to take place. Then the bonds were divided between the two directors, each taking a contract to build a school-bouse. One of. them.,ran away with bis $1,500 and- the other , nut up a school-house worth $800 or (400 thai was not needed and has seldom been used. The director who engineered the bond'scheme wat a personal friend of Mr. Armatrong, visited him frequently in his office while the plan for bonds was being matured, and was-also- excused.at)d defended by him afterward, and tbe director i| his per- sonal friend and supporter to tbfa day. After tbe steal had been accomplished, one xWy' tbe' writer, in Armstrong's presence, spoke of tbe two directors as two rascals, when Mr. A. becapne Migry 'Mdr*fakh^ '"l.f yuu called me a rascal 1 would make you prove, in".- To which we replied: "The two men are unedu- cated. Tbey know, nothing of the law. They could not have arranged this bond business so as to keep witbiu the law un- less tbey bad legal advice. And 1 believe that a lawyer who v would advise and * ,teaU * blgB "' r g£' \C' ' of tbe three." The writer has never had any faith in H. A. Armstrong oiuce tb«t day. This matter may be "old.—as Mr. A. s friends claim—to some people, but it is new to a'good many'who have come here since 1884. Besides, we are not aware that the statute of limitations, in a moral way, excusea dishonesty. And the present state's attorney, although at that time priding himselt on his honesty and good moral^ and being a leading citizen— never said, and never h;is said, a word in condemnation of the Chefry drove steal that the settlers in tbat district have been paying interest on to this day. The Bribery Matter. In 1892 an attempt was made to bribe tbe voters of Selz precinct. The sum of $60 was offered for 76 votes in tbat pre- cinct for Armstroug, $60 for 76 votes fur Lock, and $60, for 76 votes for Brindle against Streeler. There is only circumstan- tial evidence as to Armstrong in this case. But Mr. A. was at the same house with tbe pariy when they left to do tbe bribing. Does it seem likely that he did not know what was being done in his interest? And is it probable tbat a man who was not running for office- furnished $60 with which to buy votes for Armstrong? Even if old, these statements are just as much facts now as they were in '82, and any man' connected with the bribery is just as unworthy to bold office now as he was then. Throwing Out el Sels Precinct. When the votes came, in from Selz— from tbe people who wouldn't sell their rights as citizens -the canvassers at Wllliamsport, wbo were! all friends and supporters of Armstrong, threw out the votes of the precinct Mr. Armstrong was, in private talk and in the news- papers, a firm supporter and excuser of the men who threw out the entire vote of a precinct thai had gone against them But the district court compelled Mr. A.'i friends to count the Totes;' Olveea H«lthkar M A Sesd Sen«>Off.» „ One day Mr. Armstrong called J. L. Bouiillier into bis office and told Mm he bad an inquiry from a commercial agency as to his financial standing, and that he would give him "a good send-off." Alter Boutillier found out what was in the letter, he tackled Armstrong about it, aod in tbi county building, in the presence of several witnesses, Mr. A.-denied thai lie had urit' iot a letter *f the Hud charged. Mr. Bou- tillier, it may be stated, was an old settler, a neighbor of Armstrong, aod had always supported him in esticils and convention. Following is the "good send-off" that Armstrong gave Bouiillier: Office of H. A. Armstrong, State's At- torney Emmons County, Williamspc N, D., Dec. 28tb, *<88,—tinow. Church A Co., Minneapolis. Minn.: Dear Sirs': Tour favor of the 28d fast., asking information as to the financial condition of i. L Bou- iillier, is at hand. I know Mr. B. very well, indeed. He is, I think, honest. That is, he' is not what is known as * dead-beat. His probable resources ara S uite limited. He ia ia debt pretty hear y. Ar to his doing a good business, 1 would say tbat I do not consider, him a success aa a merchant. He is pretty fairly' well to do, but then is too mnch of. the time that he is out of Uie staple articles, such as sugar, coal oil, etc. This ia due perhaps, to the fsct that heihaa not better credit. I notice that he ia quoted rather low in the reports, 1 cannot say that he is prompt in psying his bills. At least, 1 have held cleims against bim that hs was not prompt in^ajrftg. Panonally, Mr. FernaK Wanti to See Kins Mr. O. 8. Fernald is tax-commissioner ef the Northern Pacific railroad com- pany. He ia the man whose duty it is to try to get railroad taxes cut down, or thrown off, or in any other way to get such action as will allow his company to crawl out of paying its share of the taxes necessary for running the county. What Mr. A., who was then county auditor, wrote to Mr. Fernald, the Record does not know. But one thing we do know— Mr. A. is the only county officer who has ever had a free ticket sent bim by tbe Northern Pacific railroad company with a request that he come to St. Paul to "talk over matters." Certainly the rail road officers do not treat Auditor Brad dock that way. They don't send him passes to go to St. Paul to consult with their officers. We give tbe followiug letter, which Mr. A. forgot and left with a lot of other pwpers when he went out of the auditor's office: Korthem Paciflo Railroad Company, Of fioe of Tax Commissioner, St. Paul, Minu., Jan. 28, 1888. —H. A. Armstrong, Esq., Williamsport, N. D.: Dear Sir: Yours of the 24th hut. to hand, and I herewith in- close you trip pass No. 18,989, in your fa- . from Bismarok to 8t. Paul and return, good until Feb. 28th, in order that you may be able to oome down here tbat < may con- anlt.you about the bostness'Written in your faver of the 24th. Hoping to see you soon, I am yoors, very .truly, O..S. FtUitD. Skins Ik* Treaewrer. When Mr. Merrill, a atraigbtforward honest citizen of Winona, was electet treasurer, it was understood that H. W Allen -a man against whose honesty t word hss never been said before or since —was to be .bis deputy. Mr. Alien waa to meet Mr. Merrill at WillL-imsport on a certain day and be appointed deputy treasurer, and on that day he came. But Armstrong got hold of -Mr. Merrill, end tbe result was that Mr. A.'s bfotber-in- law, Mr. S. E. Kurtz, waa appointed deputy. . The Record claimed then tbat, while filling the position of auditor, Mr. Armstrong would also run tbe treasurer's offiue. These are two offices which the law supposes are to be a check one upon thie- other, as. they have to. receipt fre qbentiy for pnpws passing (from one to the other. The Record aUo claimed that the people paid Armstrong well for doing the work of auditor, and tbat he had no right to take time which the people paid for to tun tbe treuaurer's office. He denied to dozens of persons tbat he had anything to do with the treasurer's office, ana would not get a cent for .any assis tance tbat he Alight give Mr. Kurtz. The following letter from Mr. Merrlll--also forgotten by Armstrong when he left tbe county building—shows whether or not he told the truth: Cranberry Biver, Wis., Feb. 7, Friend Armstrong: Tour letter has just reached me. * * In regard to your pay, I will say that it was my understanding at the time I saw you, previous to the ai pointment of Mr. Kurtz aH deputy, that 1 waa to work for the same amount I paid you. and that I waa to pay you to iuatruet him. But you made a contract with bim lving him three-fourtns of my salary, id not kick; but I thought tbat, if biw por tion amounted to more than (600, he should settle with you. Now, I do not know (he amount we have received from the county Mr. Kurtz has attended to the buai ness, but somewhere near $1,100. That would give him over t800. it' ibis state, ment is correct, I think he can afford to pay you. * * Jakes D. Mebbill, Iron River, Wis. After Mr. Kurtz bad been appointed deputy, and Mr. Allen had gone liomi Armstrong turned to auother couuty officer ana said: "If Mr> Allen wants anything, let bim come and see me. fine state of affairs, isn't it. when a man wanting any official position must go to the great Boss to ask for it I Refer It to the State's Attorney In a letter to the treasurer of this county, in 1898, Mr. G. S. Fernald, tbe aforesaid railroad tax commissioner, asks to be allowed to pay tbe taxes on a part of a section describe as a whole on the tax list, so tbat tbe part could* be sold and a deed given, which deed could not be recorded wbiie taxes were owing. In bis letter to the treasurer, Mr. Fernald, the same man who sent Armstrong, the audi tor, a pass on which to go to St. Paul, ssys: "1 feel quite sure that, if you would refer this matter to your county attorney^ he would advise you tbat that would be the proper course to pursue. Will vou kindly advise me if you cannot do this?" Evidently Mr. Fernald bad "faith" in the county attorney. Appear* Against at Osantr Officer. In the summer of 1897, while Judge attorney to advis>! and defend the county officers in their public capacity, and pays him for doing so. Wanl» to Blsnalse a Case. In the summer of 1807 an assault was made in tbe Williamsport postoffice by Robert Dickson and bis son on F. H Cotton. The latter was struck with a cigar-clipper and badlv bruised- There was no doubt as to the evidence. There was no question that the attack was pre- meditated, for to two men who asked tbe elder Dickson why be had raised a row in the postoffice he replied: "Be- csuse we couldn't catch bim anywhere else." The Dicksons were held to the district court, under bond. Soon after, Mr. Cotton went to Minneapolis) to re- mtiin for several months, telling Arm- strong he would be present when court met. When the case came before tbe court, tbe Dicksons' lawyer moved to dis- miss it. Tbe state'a attorney, instead of opposing tbe motion, aitreed to it, and said: *'As the prosecuting witness. Mr. Cotton, is not here, and as 1 do not think there would be evidence sufficient for conviction if be were here, I will not op- jose dismissal " But Judge Winchester tnew something of the facta in connec- tion with tbe case, and he refused to al low it to be dismissed at tbat time. Mr. Cotton saw that be could not get justice through Armstrong against the Dicksons, wbo were the lawyers political friends and supporters, so he let the esse drop. The following letters explain themselves. Tbey show that Mr. Armstrong, tbe sworn public prosecutor of this county, asked the prosecuting witness to consent to a postponement of tbe case, as be said be was very busy; that tbe witness, to ac- commodate the attorney, conaented. Fur- thermore, as an inducement to Cotton to have it postponed, tbe attorney wrote tbat one of defendant's witnesses would be out of tbe county if the case was put over to tbe spring term of 1898. Then be allows the case tol>e dismissed because the prosecuting witness is not present. The letters of Mr. Cotton show that be was ready to come at once if be was needed. Following are the letters. The italics are our own:. Minneapolis, Minn., No'V. l&0t._ . R. Streeter, Williamsport, N. D.: Dear Sir: I see by the Record that Mr. Armstrong moved the discharge of the Dicksons be- cauoe I waa not tnere. This was quite a surprise to me, as Mr. A. wrote me that he would rather not try the oaae tbia.faH. I send you his letter, that you may see now he acted in the matter. I should have been there but for his letter, as I was ready to go, and I wrote him that 1 would go if he need- ed me. It rather looks to a ban up a tree Out he was in league with the Dioksons to Sauter was here. Mr. Armstrong appeared before bim in a tax matter in the interest of a non-resident land-owner and against a opunty officer. Mr. Armstrong asked Auditor Braddock to certify in tbe case named tbat all taxes bad been paid, on the ground that' certain taxes on the books were not legal. Tbe auditor re fused, and made a certificate only as to the facts, ciaimiug that he had no right .to aettle a point of law. Armstrong sip- plied for. a writ of muudsmus to compel the auditor to certify that the taxes were paid. He did not serve notice on Mr. Braddock until a abort time before tbe hearing of the case. The commissioners war* in session and tbe auditor was rushed with work. But the commission ers let him off and he prepsred his answer. When the case wss called Mr. Braddock came forward and said to tbe count "As there is no state's attorney to appear, for me, 1 will appear M m •elf." And Braddock won bU case. Ti 1 tbe law makes it the duty ioTthe state °? e ft. nlk* upon for testimony—will no doubt be out of the cenntrf.

If it is put off, one of his witnesses— Vlllifiu Jslc* Winchester. Two veers ago Attorney ^NevtQli, of Bismarck, a prominent prohibithraut, was a candidate against Judge Winchester, and wss defeated by a vote of nearly two to one in the district. Armstrong op- B osed Judge Winchester and supported Ir, Newton, which waa all right if he wanted to. But ho had no call to offer public insult to tbe presiding judge nt tbe court of which tbe state's attorney ia himself an officer. In a crowd 1n Bis- marck, in the fall of '99, Mr. Armstrong 'used exactly this language: "The gang is rotten from tbe court down." And yet Judge Winchester has slwsys treated Mr. Armstrong and every one else at court in a kind and considerate manned and be does everything thst he can con' sistenily do to shorten court terms and cut down expenses. He deserved no such attack on the part of Mr. Armstrong, Tries to Rata a Rival Lawyah Several years ago Attorney Lynn and one iiit his ' neighbors got into a dispute over some buy. It was a matter that could easily have been compromised on * money bans or settled by a civil suit. But Armstrong saw there was a chance to crush a competing lawyer. Mr. A. was state'a attorney, and could pursue Lynn at the expense of the taxpayers. A crim- inal case was at once made.of it. Mr. Ab - sent to Bismarck and bronght down the' attorney general of the state to assist him. The «ain wss tried twicer at an ex- pense to the County, of much money. Lynn wss acquitted. The state's sttor* ney wss not so anxious to dismiss tbtt esse as he wss thst of the Dicksons. The lailkawiak Case. Some montha ago two citizena of the Williamsport country had a dispute, and •me, Frank JaiSkowlak, was alleged to hitVe ItVuck tbe other. No warrant of arreat ean be isaned without- the state's attorney's Indorsement. A warrant was issued, Tbe coustable( if a state's attor- ney indorses a warrant, must go at once for a defendant. Mr. Jaiskowiak, who resides here, was 46 miles distant, at work. . He would be home in a few day*. But the constable'a duty, sfletArmstrong indorsed the warrant, was to get the de- fendant, and nothing about delay was SHld to him by the state's attorney, ,?he case was tried by a Jury, which C " standing 8 to * for acquittal. ^1 m, i ?! t- 1 •3 a Jury, which disagreed.

The reader should remember, however, that when tbe Dickson case was dismissed Mr. Armstrong said noth- ing about defendant paying costs.
