Some time ago Gov. Smith called a
meeting of the State Board OF Educa-
tion, at the request of the state sup
e%rintendent. to investigate thecharge
of misappropriating public money,
made against the latter officer by
Miss josephine Harris, hisformerclerk.
The charge made by Miss Harris was
that Mr.. Carleton drew Sl25 per
month for her salary, but only paid
her $50 per month, although taking
her receipt for the full amount. Mr..
Carleton admitted the charge, but
tried to excuse his conduct by saying
that he had applied the difference in
the payment of other expenses con-
nected with his office, for which the
appropriation was insufficient. AT
the investigation, held last week, Mr..
carleton pleaded Ignorance OF the il
legality of his acts, but in view of his
long practice at the Helena bar, the
Board found, unanimously, that the
acts were illegal; and on the question
of whether he intended to appropri-
ate the money to his private use, the
secret ballot stood four tofour, prac-
tically, thoughnotlegally, sustaining;
the charge. 1t is understood that
the governor and the attorney gener-
al voted to sustain both charges and
Mr.. Garrett voted not guilty.
F. /. Bower the Okla woolgrower,
who arrived in the city Saturday by
private conveyance, accompanied by
his wife and little 3-year-old
daughter, met with an exciting
Experience while fording the
American Fork of the Musselshell,
near Merino, says the Billings
Gazette. AS he neared the opposite
bank of the s~wift-running stream,
the team plunged into a new channel
cut by the high water. Owing to
the steep bank the horses could not
make a landing and began to
founder around in the stream, while
the buggy sank above the box and
was in imminent danger of being
|capsized. 1t was an emergency that
demanded rapid and heroic action,
and Mr.. Bower proved himself equal
to the occasion. Picking up the
child he threw her up and away and
she landed uninjured on the bank,
then hurriedly assisted his wife out
of the buggy into the swift current
Aand with IN arm about her waist
succeeded in reaching shore in safety,
though both We're drenched to the
skin. Having landed his wife and
child, Mr. Bower procured assistance
and succeeded in getting his horses
and buggy to shore. The swift
current, however, swept everything
out of the carriage, carrying away a
large valise containing the wardrobe
of his wife and child. None of the
contents Of the buggy We're re-
covered.
