count OF it, but that gentleman got away from
him and went over into Whitworth's store.
| Rapp followed him, and pitched into Mr.,
Whitworth. Judge Dinger then observed him,
and told him to be quiet, and finally succeeded
in pacifying him. But no sooner was the
Judges back turned than Rapp began again,
when Marshal Patton went to him and arrest
ed him. The marshall took him away from
the store into one of the back rooms at Grand
homme's saloon to quie5 him down. But the
prisoner was on the war-path, and he struck
his captor who was then compelled to use his
club. Rapp is large, powerful man, and it
took sex eral persons to get the better of him.
The marshal then started to the Jail with him,
but was compelled TO handcuff him and get
assistance before he succeeded in getting him
locked up. During the melee, one of Rapp's
associates gathered up couple of stones, but
before he could use them deputy-marshal
Hill gave him an old-fashioned, pugiistic blow
which caused him to bite the dust. He was
then secured and also made an inmate of the
county hotel. w. Ell. Farmer, a resident of
1ronton, became mixed up in the affair, and it
was believed for the time, was assisting in the
resistance to the officers, but he was let off as
easily as possible upon his disclamlng any
such purpose.
At one time it appeared as if the row would
become general and take the semblance of a
riot; but the prompt assistance rendered the
officers by Capt. Zwart aud other citizens
averted bloodshed. And, right here, we beg
to assure all those who have elsewhere made
successful resistance to the law, that any such
attempt here will result disastrously to them.
Our people law abiding people, and they |
are determined that all who come into our lit |
city shall behave themselves or take some very J
disagreeable consequences. The marshal was |
to use his prisoners little roughly |
Monday, but he was justified by the circum-
and so long as he is justified by re-
sistance and assault the people will uphold
him in going to much greater lengths. A
doubt of the truth Of this proposition will re-
suit in disaster to the law-breaker who acts
upon that doubt.

New Public school building Proposition.
The board of education have submit
ted the question of Issuing bonds 10, the
amount of $4,000 for new and enlarg-
ed school building. This proposition is
10 be voted upon at the election, April
9Th. This Is one of vital importance to
ali classes and conditions of our people.
But few in general can avail them
selves of the benefits of the high
er institutions Of learning. "The
common schools" are the main re-
lance for the education of the children
Of the masses. The question, therefore,
now presented is not for the benefit of a
privileged few, but reaching out to, and
bringing good, TO the many 1t is clear
ly manifest that the present capacity of
our two school buildings is utterly mad
quate to the present needs. The rooms
for special classes on Commercial street
are incapable of proper ventilation and
the health of the children suffers in con
sequence. A large and pleasant play
ground is an essential for every school.
AhAS Is al iAAipOSSADiG iGaiGtC lot lne
children in these special rooms.
The amount of money asked IS COM
paratiyely very small consideration.
The present needs of the city demand
new and capacious school building, fitted
up with all the improved convenIences
for the work of education. Its future
growth and permanent prosperity will
be largely governed by the facilities af-
forded for the proper training of the
children, physically and intellectually.
Strangers coming into the city look care
fully into these matters Often the
question Of their permanent location is
decided by the school advantages. Let
every family look at this interesting sub
ject as one bearing upon the proper cul-
ture of their children and consequently
on the whole moral character of the
community. Ignorance and crime go
hand in hand. Let every voter register,
and on election day cast his ballot in IA
vor of the proposition TO issue bonds for
$4,000 to erect a new and commodious
public school building.

The Latest From The We'll.

As the result of levels taken by Mr..
Harry Hib5ep, the city engineer, at
the Cottonwood Tuesday, under the di-
reclion of the water works committee,
it has been ascerlained that the supply
well, when completed, VIII contain nine
feet of water, assuming that its rise and
fall will be regulated By the river, which
seems fair presumption in view of the
alleged fact that the other wells in the
vicinity follow lis fluctuations. This
calculation is also based upon the fact
that the Cottonwood at present is at
about an average stage, though il fire.
qucntly falls TO much lower level.
We learn that THIS investigation has
increased the faith of the gentlemen com
posing the water works committee, in
the supply well, and that they have no
doubt that the volume of water which
can be- derived from this source will he
fully equal 10 the demands of the city
for all ordinary purposes. In this they
differ widely from very many of our citi-
zens WHO have visited the well, and it is
quite probable that Time alone will defin-
ately setlle this vexed question. 1t is
only due Mcssrs. Whinlesey and PerIey
TO say that they have given freely, both
of their time and means, To this under
taking, and while we cannot view it
through the encouraging medium which
lends lis coloring TO the venture in their
eyes, we sincerely trust that their hopes
may be fully realized and that the well
may prove Il grand success.
