BADLY MIXED,

When the public school opened here
Monday morning Miss Hoyt appeared
as teacher for the intermediate grade
and took charge of the school that
day. At noon Miss Edna Bennett ar
rived here on the stage and r vt in her
claim for the same position. A.. ].
Doggett was for Miss Hoyt. but Jack
Johnston was for Miss Bennett. Gus
Jensen, the other member of the
board, was in Rawlins and a consulta-
ton over the phone resulted in his
casting his vote for Miss Bennett, so
that young lady took charge of the
school Tuesday morning.
We understand hal Miss Hoyt
claims she was hired by two of the
trustees in the presence of witnesses
and says she is going to test her claim
in court. The affair is one very much
to be regretted and shows very plainly
that some one on the board has been
grossly direlict in duty. There is no
reason why this matter should not
have been settled by the board in such
a manner that there could have leen
no Observation-Disclosures Sun.
