the school district against the Sierra
1sdre college to secure the payment Of
s., 200. principal and interest, due from
the college on the property bought of the
school district a few years ago, is in q
fair way to compromise.

the district, last week, proposition
to pay 5000, cash, into the hands
of the trustees, in full settlement
of the debt, Was submitted by the board
representing the college and was
accepted.
When this is done it will settle the
long standing controversy between the
two school organizations ,and we believe,

than was given him.
