had supposed Miss Berry would
comply with my plan until Saturday
evening. At that time demand was
presented to me with her full knowl-
edge, that all the pupils recommended
for promotion by Miss Berry be pro-
NOTED unconditional before the pre-
sentation of the class play. This de-
mand I emphatically refused.
1t was who called the board to-
gether before the pupils we're out of
sight of the school building. It did
not come to their ears" That they
approved my plan you already know.
On Monday an attempt was made to
adjust the matter-to explain fully
to the pupils my proposition. In this
there was little difnculty. They SEEM
ed not to have known; at any time what
was required, but were told that I
would not sign any Of the certificates
that would keep them on grade work
until all was made up, instead Of en-,
tering them for high school az fast
as their grade work was finished; that
would keep them at grade work all
the year, instead of forming a class
which would complete Eighth the mid
die of January. (This last statement
had not covered farther than to
say that would keep them in the
Eighth for no other work than that in
which they failed, and would put them
along as fast as was practicible.)
This is plain statement, of the his
tory of the trouble as fully as 1t could
be given in the space allowed.

making a. loss of $500 with about 500
insurance. The origin of the fire is
unknown. but it is probable that it
started from a match dropped by
tramps who were probably sleeping
in the building. though none of this
class of citizens have been seen about
the building. The fire company re-
sponded with alacrity and did some
heroic work. It was necessary to lay
100 feet of hose in order to reach
the fire and this caused delay which
allowed the fire to get good head
way. The pressure broke one of the
hose couplings and this shut on the
stream of water. but not before the
firemen had succeeded in getting the
fire under control and preventing the
flames from spreading to Dunlevy's
ice house which was not more than
forty feet distant and toward which
the wind was blowing.

That Coollns7 Case.

The Crookston Times was In error
in its statement concerning the mo-
ton to dismiss the AL Coons case.
Attorney Massee did not ask. for the
dismissal as he had been attorney for
the city at the time the case was
brought. The motion to dismiss was
made BY Attorney Finlayson who has
beeni attorney for Coona5 for nearly
four years. When the motion was
made Attorney Collins stated to the
court that there was strong senti-
ment in East Grand Forks IN favor Of
having the case prosecuted. The court
overruled the motion to dismiss. which
was made on the grounds Of failure
to prosecute, and Mr.. Finlayson with
drew from the case. a .s

At least, so far as my memory serves
