of the first things that came up
was q petition from the residents of
Page, praying that the bounty on
wolves be restored. The petition re-
cited that the wolves had become both
numerous and dangerous in that vicin-
ltySand that the farmers had suffered
several losses of live stock in conse-
quence. After considering the matter
theIboard decided that it would be we'll
to restore the bounty and it was conse-
quehtly done. ,..: .-.
Then came what at first threatened
to be q serious wrangle over the for
nation OF a new school district at Book.
The town Of Borgholm is at present
one. district supporting four schools,
onesin the southeast portion of the
town, another in the southwest, anoth-
er in the northwest, and the fourth at
Book, near the center of the township.
sIIsas,sa district the commissioners were
requested to set off was that at Book
and the opposition came from the
northeastern part of the township,
which at present has no schoolhouse,
but has helped to build those of the
other portions. The residents feared
that if this district was set off they
would not be able to secure house for
their scholars without building it un-
aided. Oil was finally poured on the
troubled waters and the petition was
allowed to go by default, with the un-
derstanding that when the northeast
ern portion had been provided with
building there would be no objection.
to the separation.
The road at the brickyards bobbed
up again serenely and those interested
in its establishment were out in force.
The board finally laid the matter over
for investigation and committee will
go over the ground to estimate the
amount of damages and other items of
cost. When they report the road will
be taken up again.
Attorney German, of St. Cloud, ap-
peared before the board with a claim
for. $50 odd dollars due hospital in
that city for the board and treatment
of Daniel Alguire, claimed to be a
Mile Laos county pauper. 1t was
(shown the board that Mr.. Alguire was
taken to the hospital from Kanabec
county and was accompanied on the
journey by Kanabec county consta-
BILE and DR.. Bacon, of Milaca. Alguire
was formerly resident of this county
but two years ago next June sold all
his property and removed to Kanabec.
In the following September he was
taken to the hospital. Later the hos
pital authorities received small sum
OF money and with this letter stating
that this was the last of the patients
money and that when that was expend-
ed the hospital must look to Mile
Laos county for its pay. This letter
was signed by DR.. Bacon as s'assistant"
county physician and the hospital con-
tinued to treat Mr.. Alguire on this au-
thority. The county commissioners
were somewhat surprised when the let
ter was given in evidence, as this was
the first knowledge they had that
there had ever been an assistant
county physician, the authorized ply
