Noesen, being first duly sworn deposes and says, that I have been (and am employed at the pres- ent time) by the Bemidji Abstract Company, from December 15, 1913, the date when said Company first be- gan its abstract work, after having bought out the Beltrami County Ab- stract Company. First I wish to say, that this state- ment is made voluntarily for the pur- pose of giving the people, in Bemidji at least, an opportunity of getting the truth about existing conditions of the Abstract Company in the Register of Deeds office, and which will be of no benefit to the party making this statement, but, perhaps, a material loss; the true and only reason being a love for truth, and the strength to stand for what IS true at whatever cost, and it is made unknown to any parties having any interest or par- ticipating in any political warfare. 1. In the early part of the year 1914, and for about two months thereafter, my work as abstracter for the Bemidji Abstract Company was almost entirely done in the of- fice room of the said company being in the basement of the Court House. I was then gradually led to do the work in the Register’s office, until about June whenthe work of writ- ing up abstracts was done entirely, with an occasional exception in the Register’s office, many abstracts never reaching or passing through the office room of the Abstract Com- pany. From June until the present time I have not compiled a half dozen abstracts in the office room of the Abstract Company, and have not completed a SINGLE abstract there. The other party doing abstract work for said company is the DE- PUTY REGISTER OF DEEDS, who has not made ONE abstract in the office room of the said company, to my knowledge. The manager, who at times compiles an abstract, does his work in the Register’s office, ex- "ADDITIONAL WANTS T00 LATE TG CLASSIFY T P U S PSP FOR SALE—Base burner coal stove.

All ab- stracts are signed and sealed in the Register’s office, the corporate seal of said Company being kept there, all orders taken and all abstracts paid for in said Register's office, with, perhaps, two or three orders monthly which may be taken and paid for in the Company’s office. by chance. The manager of the Com- pany has access at all times to the Register’s office, having a key to same. - 2. At the beginning of the year, 1914, T demanded a raise in salary or leave the employment of the Abstract Company. The Company did not wish me to leave, nor did it wish to raise my salary, consequently the managers, or certain of the incor- porators, tried a compromise, offer- ing to make me a member of said concern and stating that they would LET ME HAVE SHARES ON THE SAME BASIS AS THE REGISTER OF DEEDS HAD at that time, and explaining, in detail, how. much stock he had, the conditions, etc. The amount of shares held by the Reg- ister was not told to me in confidence, nor did it seem to be a matter for secrecy, 8o, naturally, I did not make a secret of the offer. As I preferred having an increase in salary to a share in the corporation, I did not accept the offer, although the reg- ister of deeds was at that time a shareholder, according to statements of different members of the incor- porators at said time. EMMA E. NOESEN. Subscribed and sworn to before me this '2nd day of November, 1914. (Seal) F. W. RHODA, Clerk of the District Court, Beltrami County, Minn. (Advertisement) 1t 112 MOON DEFENDS HIMSELF. To the Voters of Beltrami County: This communication is not written “at the request of many friends and voters,” but in self defense. Mr. Harris says I was not elected to the office of Register of Deeds. The VOTERS said I WAS.. The DIS- TRICT COURT said 1 WAS, and the SUPREME COURT said 1 WAS. Which do you believe? Mr. Harris says I claim he collect- ed fees that rightfully belonged to me. In the light of the foregoing facts, I still make that claim and leave it to the people to judge. Mr. Harris says I deny having any interest in the Bémidji Abstract Com- pany, and insists that my deputy, Mr. Conger, and I are financially inter- ested in it. I reaffairm my denial in regard to myself. As to Mr. Conger, |]1is connection with the abstract com- {pany is his own private affair, but i1 have understood that he has-an in- terest in it. Mr. Harris tries hard to disconnect himself from the Beltrami = County _| Abstract Company, dnd says that cor- poration no longer exists. Mr. Schmahl, the secretary of state, on October. 28, 1914, advised me that] that corporation actually existed on' that date, and on July 9th, of this year, an instrument was filed. in the Register of Deeds office in which Mr. Harris swore that he was president of the company-as late as July-7, 1914, the date of the instrument. This in- strument is a public record and can be found recorded in Book 22 of Mortgages, on page 430. It will thus been seen, from record evidence, that Mr. Harris was not only “affiliated” ‘with a corporation but held the high- est office in that corporation on. the date named; and, further that Mr. Harris’ corporation was not only in existence, but was doing business, though unfortunately for Mr. Harris, it was not ¢doing business at the old stand.” Mr. Harris still insists that the Bemidji Abstract €Company has its office in the Register of Deeds office. | You can easily establish the truth or untruth of this assertion by inquiring | at the county auditor’s office as to what room that company pays rent for and occupies. It has legal access to and receives the common courte- sies of the register’s office, and even makes some (not all, as Mr. Harris says) of its abstracts there, for the very reason that Mr. Harris gives, that it is convenient for the public. This doesn’t disprove the fact that it maintains a well equipped office, with desks, file cases, records and a vault in which. to keep those rec- ords, in another part of the building for which—keep in mind—it pays $20 a wonth rent. Now as to the so-called crime. of having the abstract office in the of- fice of the register of deeds. Mr. Harris, in his last communication, concedes that it is not only no crime but that it is a real benefit to the public. And so it is, provided al- ways—and note well the proviso— that the abstract company, while serving the public, charges no great- er fees than those allowed by law to the register of deeds, and also that the public records are not neglected to the advantage of the private rec- ords of the abstract company. With- out bringing up the subject of how the County. Tract Indexes have been kept since the organization of the county, and without -going into the question of abstract charges in the past, I do maintain that, since I took charge of this office and became fa- miliar with its details, FIRST, the county tract indexes are as accurate as the private records of any of the abstract companies, and, SECOND, the Bemidji Abstract Company has in no case collected fees for abstracts in excess of those allowed by law. I make these assertions advisedly, as they may be easily proved or dis- proved by a comparison of the rec- ords, and by an inspection of the ab- stract company’s cash books,. which latter, under the bond made to the County by the company, are sibject to inspection is complaint is made. I defy Mr. Harris to make the same Fur Opening & Sale A representative of the Fur House of McKibbon, Drescoll & Dorsey will be at the Bazaar Store Mon- day and Tuesday, November 2nd and 3rd, with a splendid showing of Fur Coats and Sets. ural, The line comprises Ladiess and Misses’ fur coats, Russian Po- ny in black and nat- Nippon Mink and Natural Mink, Persian Lamb, etc. price from $20.00 to $275.00.

Mr. Harris says I “infer” that I couldn’t make reliable abstracts on account of errors in the county tract index. I didn’t intend to “infer,” I meant to ‘assert it as a fact—a fact that any atforney in this city who has had occasion to examine any con- siderable number of abstracts can at- test. 7 He takes umto himself the credit for schooling the efficient help that I employ, when I know and many others know that, after he was elect- ed the first time and before he took ‘charge of the office, he sent Mr. Con- ger, who" was..fo be ‘his deputy, to learn the details of the office so that wheh ‘this’ fameus pedagogue should arrive the pupil would be qualified to teach-the teacher, and I guess he was. - My depnties know that they are-doing # of work now to'pre- vent errors in”the records that they ‘were ‘not required to do by Mr. Harris.
