cities, with nearly two-f ifths of the enroll
ment of the state under their control. have
placed bnt 66 er cent Of this in average

During 1892 there were 659 teachers en-

this total the value of the school houses and

and Clarke county $4321. 423.
"As 1890 was the first year that items re-
latinR to the observance of Arbor day were
called tor. only nine county superintsn-
dents reported in their ANNALS to this
office for that timo, but we are confident that
the day will be more generally observed
in the future. A love for the beautiful
in nature should be cultivated in the pupils
of the pubic schools, and IN no other way
can this be more pleasantly or prOhtably
done than in the annual decoration of their
school grounds with I ees and shrubs" Since

that for the last year or two before the

expenses and reducing stock and selling
more than they bought they might pull

they saw the failure had TO come. For the
past eight or ten Yeas he said he had
been in the habit OF raising the

A X CONTRACT.

Two Gallatin County Men Come to Helena
for Relief.
Ex-Gov. Leslie filed q suit in the district
court yesterday to correct a contract and
compel the payment of $1,000. The plain
tiff in the case ia William Beck and the de-
PENDANT is Sidney Fox. Beck made a con-
tract with him in which he agreed to sell
Fox one-third OF two-sevenths' interest in
the Spur lode. in In Independence mining dis
trict, Silver Bow county, for $4,000. Fifty
dollars WAS to be paid on the execution of
the agreement, $3.50 on the delivery of the
deed, $1,000 in thirty days after the de-.
livery Of the deed and 81. 900 as soon there
after as Fox could determine tuat the in-
terest conveyed was free from all claims.
Sometime after the contract was made
Beck and Fox discovered that they had
made q mutual mistake with reference to
the description of the property and made
amendments to the contract 30 as to make
it read IAN undivided one-third Of two
seventh interest in and to q certain bond
and lease of the spur mining claim"
Another mistake was discovered after
this. They intended that the convsyancs
should be delivered not to Fox. but to W.
4. Perkins, of Bozeman, in escrow, and to
be held by him until Fol- should nave psid
the full urchase price. Fifty dollars was
paid at the time of the execution Of the
contract and the deed mae and put into
the hands OF Pc kins. Fox also made the
two payments of $3.50 anu ST 1000. Beck al
leges that at the time the $1,000 was paid
the bond n lease were clear of incum-
brances, and which fact could be deter
mined by Fox. Since Sept. l last Beck
says he has demanded pa, ment of the final
$1,000, but IT ia refused. Perkins died and
the iced lsln the possession of one Fliescher
at Bozeman. who is the administrator OF
Beok's estate. Beck asks the court to re.
form the contract 80 as to express the in
tentlnn OF the parties and for Judgment
