1 White Bear are now thirty mills on the
| dollar. OF this amount eighteen mills
| is for school purposes within that dis
1 trict. The school district includes, be-
/ sides the entire village, Bald Eagle, Cot
| tage Park and Birch lake. The annual
meeting at which the voters of the dis
| trict fix by vote the tax for each ensuing
| year, will be held next July. Then will
| be the proper time for such amount of
| school tax as You believe to be fair
! and reasonable for the next year. All
legal voters within the limits of the
| school district are entitled to be present
| at that meeting and to cast their vote.
| An unintentional injustice was done
| to Mr.. Squires in our last Sunday news
| items by running into one paragraph two
| separate Items, enc relating to DellWood,
the other to Bald Eagle. 1t was not Mr..
| Squires who was reported to be glad
| to have his hay meadow drained for him
| by the tapping of Bald Eagle lake. but
| a property owner at the latter place.
| The statement was made at the meeting
| Tuesday evening that the water commits
| sioners have secured a place for their
| dam and other arrangements for getting
| the surplus water on the property of
| Mr.. w. H. Conver at Bald Eagle.
When we cannot have a genuine sem
| sation at White Bear we know how to
| manufacture one. The wild stories about
| the village during the week that a
| teacher at the Washington school had
| fogged boy until she broke her ruler
] on him and that the parents of the lad
| had secretly sworn out warrant for
| her arrest, dwindles down, upon care
| full investigation, to a disagreement be-
tween the teacher and the parents as to
| the degree of severity to be used to-
wards an eleven-year-old boy, whom the
| parents claim needs special treatment on
! account of his being nervous and not
/ or nh 11xy 81
1 authorities think is little unruly and
/ not always as obedient he might be.
i The parents, who are classed amongst
our most respected citizens, are much
| chagrined at the sensational turn given
/ to the matter. They have not sworn out
any warrant, and do not propose to do
i so. At the. request of the mother a
neighbor called at the school to speak
! about the boy. Out of this slight Incl
1 dent the entire fabrication has grown.
i We make this statement In justice to all
/ parties concerned.
The scrimmage on Monday evening
i came nearer to the genuine article and
it seems to be in the interests of justice
| to quiet many wild rumors now circula-
1 ting by stating the exact facts. A tied
his horse on the street in front Of BIS
place of business, informing the latter
| that he would allow the horse there un-
til his owner returned from ST. Paul. He

the animal in the stable. c had obtain
/ ed some time previously a writ of exc
| cution for a debt due him from A. Con-
! stable Burrows, seeing the horse, seized
him under this writ. A, returning in the
evening, rushes into the house where B
sits comfortably on his counter, chatting
with those about him and Indignantly
asks where his horse. is. does not
! know. A strong of abuses from A i'm
| mediately greets BIS ears, and he is
seized by the coat, pulled off the counter,
and struck in the face. A lively little
tussle results. A retires from the field,
| and secures a warrant and has him
/ arrested. A deposits $40 bail for his ap
pearance next morning, and, failing to
appear, the cash goes into the village
| treasury. Meanwhile the constable ad
vertises that the horse will be sold at a
legal sale under the writ which he holds.
had no claim against A, and was ac-
tually absent when the constable took
! the horse which was standing on the
| public street at the time. Needless to
| say B would have been much better
pleased had he not been so suddenly
| challenged to display his skill in the
! manly art.
Such cases as the above seem to be
| contagious Rumor insists upon it that
| not far from the same time a young man
| of the village decidedly used up a prom
1 inent business man for supposed insult
| which was presumably never intended by
| the speaker Also that an eX-member of
| the Fifteenth Minnesota bitterly disap-
pointed at his inability to lay hands on
real Spaniard during the recent war, Sc
/ lected a substitute in White Bear and
relieved his pent up feelings by doing him
| up. But we trust that, like the school
incident, these cases are both exagger-
ated.
AS a pleasant change of subject we
may mention that the village board Of
| health Is making their annual tour with
q view to enforcing the ordinance regard
