August Kosh was in police court ac-
cused of assault on the person of his
wife, Mrs. Amanda Koch. The testi-
mony of both husband and wife
brought out many details of domestic
dissatisfaction, and Police Magistrate
Roddewig had considerable difficulty
in unraveling the cause of the trouble.
Mrs Koch testified that when she
told her husband that she was going
to have him arrested for mal-treat-
ment that he struck her on the head
with his fists. Koch denied the assault
and went on with an extended tale of
happenings in his household. On ques-
tioning it was found that Koch had not
earned enough money in the last year
to support his wife in the proper fash
lon. Magistrate Roddewig thereupon
gave him a sentence of thirty days,
with the provision that he would be
released as soon as he decided to Sc
cure steady employment.

Despairing of securing sufficient

1t takes one hundred and ten teach

exclusive of the independent districts.
Mr. Gunderson stated this morning
that there will be only from So to 80
persons in the county who are eligible
to teach, outside of the teachers in
the. town schools. Every day, nearly,
directors of rural schools are calling
him on the phone to ask where they
can get a teacher. Even the town
schools are having some difficulty in
finding competent teachers. The most
notable instance is the principalship
of the schools at Kensett. School
should commence next Monday, and as
yet no principal has been hired, and
as late as Tuesday no application had
been filed for the position, which pays
considerably better than similar po-
sitions in towns of that size, or even
larger.
