Several weeks ago Charles Rogers,
who had been treasurer of school dis
trict No IS in the town of Randall
for many terms, left the country, and
and when new officers took charge OF
the district it was discovered that he
was over $500 short in his accounts.

cred that he had gone to North
Dakota. A complaint was made out
requisition papers secured, and
Sheriff Houde left a few days ago
after his man. He found him about
Is miles from Larimore, and return

that he had used it along at different
times, and was unable to replace it.
His case will soon come up for pre-.
