Death, after pursuing Joseph Silks, son

finally claimed it's victim last week, when
the young man was killed by a stroke of
lightning near his home at Broughton,

shore after desperate fight. Thrown
from a wagon in a runaway and dashed
down steep bank he had received but
a few bruises and scratches. Struck in
the head by flying bat thrown by a care

stunned.

in the right arm, and blood poisoning fol-

Of. The arm was amputated, and he re-
covered.

he was in field engaged in planting he
took refuge under a large elm tree, which

FOR OPEN SESSIONS
School Board viii Discuss
Change at Next Meeting.

Those favoring the holding Of open SEES
sionS by the board of school inspectors
are hopeful of winning when the ques-
ton is preached at the regular monthly
meeting Wednesday.
Just what the vote will be is ques-
tion President Holman and Inspector
Lindahl have declared in favor of the
change from the "star chamber sessions.
Inspector Fisher is known to be opposed
to the change, believing that secret meet
ings are proper. 1t is believed that IN
spector Fry will vote in favor of the
change. This leaves Egan, Boeringer
and Rogers in doubt, with the outcome
depending upon the way they vote. Y
There is some question whether the
meeting of the text book committee on
Tuesday will be held in public, it being
claimed that some of the book agents
have asked that but one agent be adj
mitted at a time. If this is done it Is
not likely that the session will be as
interesting as would be the case If all
the agents were admitted and allowed
to hear the arguments of the others. :
The text book committee does not ex-
pect to be able to report at the meeting
of the board Wednesday. the announced
purpose being to dispose OF 8 he high
school question and the course 81 study
in the grades before the text books are
adopted for the next three to five years.
The last contract for the books was for
three years. but there is some talk OF
increasing the period to five years.
