LAST ROUND
In the Ross Leonard School epidemic.

The Ross Leonard school epidem-
&c hangs on up in Reno district long
after the smallpox has abated and
been stamped out but you can't
keep Ross down and he will be
County Superintendent yet. He
closed his school at Red Oak No. {
recently and got his salary in full
tor the term including 81 days he
failed to teach on account of trou-
bic with the trustees, as we announ-
ced before. But that did not
satisfy Ross, so he brought suit
against the two trustees, George A..
Dancer and Jesse Dancer who had
been opposing him, for $500
damages for the trouble they had
caused him and damage to his
reputation as teacher etc. The
other trustee, George A. Funk, was
with Ross in the fight and he was
exempted from the suit which came
off before His Honor Justice
William Rutherford, of FelIowsyille.
Tuesday of last week. The Rev.
Charles Roster, of Dent was at
torney for Ross and argued the
case "like Philadelphia lawyer"
One of the Dancers appeared for
the defense but couldn't keep step
with Rev. Roster. They had a
jury trial and hanging. Five of
them wanted to give Ross $50 but
the sixth juror hung out for nothing
as he was a school trustee himself.
so they were discharged and another
jury tackled the case which had to
all be gone over again. About
midnight they brought in a verdict
for $50 and costs in favor OF
Leonard and he came away satisfied
passing through Kingwood on his
way over home. As a sticker Ross
beats a porous plaster out of sight
and as he is a good Republican.
Wen bet 70 TO that he will be
County superintendent of Schools
some time. He talks of coming
here to school this summer.

Other counties besides Prestoa
have gone dry on the drug store

of the County Court of Wayne at
its late session, there will be no

fused license for drug store at

IT is hard for some Democratic
Office holders to ''let 60" The
state board of boiler inspectors
has Just unearthed a sensational
fraud which is being carried on
in two or three sections of the
state, by boiler inspectors who
served under the recent admins
tration. 1t is known that before
leaving Office, one ortwo members
of the former board scattered
books of blank license certificates
and certifcatesof inspection among
some of their deputies, and the
latter, Notwithstanding the change
in administration and the fact that
they are no longer officials, have
kept right on inspecting boilers
and examining candidates for en-
gineers' licenses-and pocketing
the fees. Just for the sake OF
appearances they would date the
certificates they issued back to
December, but the fraud is none
the less palpable. 1t is stated that
at least one criminal prosecution
will result from this practice.
