You further say it has currently been reported that Tam manager of the Bank of North Dakota. At this time T am unable to say whether I am the manager of the Bank of North Dakota or the janitor. As this bank is not in operation at this time, and only in the formatiye state, I feel that I have a perfect right to sign vouchers for such matters as sta- tionery and other fhings that are need- ed in the organization of this bank without committing any heinous crime. MI notice that you have cited me to 29CYC, This deals, ap- parently, ivil service examina- tions and such matters and ce Tum not an attorney I am perhaps unable to get the exact meaning of this citd tion. However, I believe it does s that according’ ta, your letter the loss of the qualifications nec ry to make one eligible for public office will gener- ally result in the forfeiture of--the of- fice. If this is the case, you evidently wish to infer that the office of state examiner is at this time vacant, and if so I presume it will be taken over by you or your office, as it would not do to allow this office to remain idle for any length of time: In. case you-de- cl that it is nec for me to turn this office over to you, there are some matters of instruction that I would like to give you for the good of the office and also of the state. I will lock the door and place the key under the foot-mat in front of the door.

In case you have been vexed or annoyed, and undoubt- laboring under great mental di: and agony of mind, I would sug- you immediately take the legal steps in this connection to obtain redress. Of course, upon reading this law that you cited me to, 1 will admit that my heart skipped several beats, and I am myself under great fear and mental dfstress, after reading thiy section af the code, so I do not believe that any punishment = Under date of e examiner, +» This appoint: ! ~ | nounced, y}yet been named to succeed him, iderable conjecturesof.the treaty with the fourteen points | BIG STEEL CAGE” MARTIN LEIP. 3 F.M¢ MASTER Tex.
