SHERIFF SCOFIELD IN FARGO
The Ward County Official Fleets HIc Disgrace
Keenly—Wants to Pay a Fine.
Sheriff Scofield, accompanied by a
United States deputy marshal, reach
ed the city Saturday night and was
turned over to the custody of Sheriff
Twichell and commenced his sentence
of ninety days. The sheriff prisoner
feels his disgrace very keenly and it is
understood that he will make an effort
to have his sentence modified, so that
he can pay a fine and secure his lib
erty. He was accompanied to Fargo
by Mrs. Scofield, who will remain in
the city a number of days, and if her
husband's sentence is not changed to a
fine by the court, she will perhaps
make arrangements to secure tem
porary quarters in this city so that she
can be near her husband. A brother
of the sheriff was also in the city yes
terday, and is doing what he can to
secure the officer's release on payment
of a fine. The brother states that this
is the first time»that any member of
the family has been in jail, and they
are willing to part with all their
earthly possessions to secure the sher
iff's release. The officer-prisoner is a
fine looking man, rather short and
stout, with an aldermanic stomach, evi
dencing the good liver, and a jet black
mustache sets off a jolly face of the
Irish type. Sheriff Scofield is a very
popular man in Minot, his home town,
and has received quite a number of
messages of encouragement,from the
people of that place. V
When Margaret Dinwiddie died at
Rushville, Ind., six years ago, she left
an estate valued at $8o,ooo. There was
litigation between the heirs and the
other day the last remaining fragment
of the property, worth $15,000, was
turned over by order of the court to
the lawyers engaged in the several
suits growing out of conflicting claims.

TWO SUCCESSFUL CONTESTS.
Two Farms Lost Because the Bntrymen Failed
to Comply With the Lew.
The register and the receiver of the
local landoffice have received the de
cision of the general landoffice at
Washington, affirming the Fargo office
in the case of Joseph B. Leeter vs.
Dwight F. Congdon, a contest involv
ing the southeast cuarter of section
18-138-63, a tract of land located in
Stutsman County, holding thle entry of
Congdon for cancellation. The charge
was abandonment and a failure to cul
tivate the ground.
In the contest of Charles E-. Connor
vs. Simon Barness, involving the north
east quarter of section 18-139-66, ,a
tract of land in Stutsman County, the
entry of Barness wa$ held for cancel
lation. The defendant is employed at
Oberon, Benson County, as a wheat
buyer and elevator agent, and it was
shown that he had only made occas
ional visits to his claim and had failed
to* comply with the law in the matter
of improvements. It is quite likely
that this case will be appealed to the
commissioner of the general landoffice.

Dakotan, the monthly devoted to the
furtherance of real estate interests

Johnson, has been incorporated under

elected officers: President, Fred L.
Johnson secretary-treasurer, Otto C.
Neuman. Mr. Johnson states that it is
their intention to have a printing plant
of their own in operation by Feb. 1.
SECRET
SOCIETY OFFICERS.
Mecca Chapter, Order of the Eastern
Star, was full of business at a stated
meeting held at the Masonic Temple
Saturday night. In addition to the
initiation of a class of a dozen or more
ladies and gentlemen the election of
oncers for the ensuing year and other
routine business had to be transacted.
The proceedings were preceded by a
bountiful supper, which was served in
the banquet chamber, at which there
were about 100 guests. The biting
blasts of old Boreas, which embraced
Fargo, had a great deal to do with

a most enjoyable and social time. The
