resent Pierce schools in n contest to
be held at Norfolk April 4. during the

The fight against the injunction, re-
stralning the city council from action
on the Philip avenue ordinance, Is not
to be made until II comes up in the
ordinary course OF the district courts
work, when an answer will be made
by the city attorney. The original in.
tentlon OF demanding n special hear
ing before the opening of court has
been dropped as 1t could have facili-
tated the settlement of the case but
little. In either case II would have
been carried on to the supreme court,
and II Is there that the main delay
will be. The fragile hopes Of COM
promise have been completely dissl-
pated and there Is no doubt but that
the fight on the injunction will have
to be carried through the supreme
court before the council will be in a
position to vote on the proposed ordi.
nance.
| Pierce Leader: Harry Il. Menden-
hall and family removed from Pierce
county last Saturday to Presho. South
Dakota, the new town ut the end of
the Milwaukee railroad, which Is forty
miles west of Chamberlain. Harry
and his brother Jim together with b.
s. Leedom OF the Osmond Republican,
have just returned from an extended
trip in Lyman and Stanley counties,
looking over the homesteads taken
last fall by Mr.. Leedom and num-
ber OF others from Osmond, and they
express themselves as being highly
pleased with the conditions and op-
portuntes offered in that new coun-
try. In fact, Harry opened up real
estate office in Presho March | and
after resigning his position as teach
er of one of our very good schools he
leaves with his estimable family for
their new home In Presho, where the
best wishes of their many Pierce coun-
ty friends certainly follow them.
Ten travelling men without pack
oddity but something that actually oc
Cured during the blizzard last week
On the Northwestern train, which was
snowbound near Arabia, there were
ten travelling men. When they dis
covered that they were bound to stick
in the snow for hours to come they
decided to have game of cards but
no cards were handy. A canvass was
made of the train and 1t was found
that among the ten commercial trav
elers on the train there was not @
pack of cards. although one of then
invariably carried pack of cards ant
n cribbage board. In leaving home
on that trip his satchel happened tC
be too full and he threw out the crib
hage board and cards as somethinG
that he could readily dispense with
He presumed that he could always
find someone else on the train with ar
outfit, but such proved not to be the
case on this one occasion when they
were needed worst of all. AS no one
else on the train could produce a pack
of cards the game was deferred unit
after the train got out of the snow anC
then cards weren't needed to while
away the time.
