DdifG'IiS ! oIIoS,
Sisseton, S. D., March 1.-THE people OF
this place are taking considerable interest
in a special election, which is to be held
here on March q, at which time the pro-
position Of issuing bonds in the sum of
$4,000 for the purpose Of taking up out
standing warrants and constructing a new
school building will be submitted to the
voters. At present there are several thou
sand dollars worth Of school warrants out
standing. These draw 1~per cent. interest.
If the voters authorize the issuance of the
S14,G0 in bonds these outstanding warrants
Will be taken up. The proposed new bonds
will draw only five per cent. interest, which
would make a material saving to the tax
payers over the interest now paid on the
outstanding warrants. Sisseton needs a
new and larger school building very badly,
and with the money left from the s14, 600
bond issue after paying the outstanding
warrants 1t is proposed to erect the
structure. The present school facilities
are inadequate to accommodate the stead
lily increasing number of children of school

Chamberlain, S. D., March 18TH quail
ity of the fire water consumed by Frank
Thompson, Of Sphinx county, had a pecu-

his arrest on the charge Of arson.
Thompson and a companion attempted
to consume all the liquor in the little own

home they were in a highly hilarious COM
dltion. 1t is alleged that when they
reached the Ewing school. Thompson got
out of the rig and entered the building and
proceeded to see how quickly he could
smash all the windows. He then got back
into the rig and the next adventure Of the,
two men was a runaway, their horse get!
ting beyond control and running into \
telephone pole. The force of the collision
released the horse from the buggy and the.
animal dashed away. So far as known 1T
Is yet running. At this juncture the COM
paion deserted Thompson, who Is sup
posed to have gone to a vacant house on a
nearby farm. In order to warm himself
he, 1t is alleged. started a fire on the floor
Of the house, with the result that the
flames spread and the building was en-
tirely destroyed. Thompson was found the
next morning in a barn on another farm
in the vicinity and arrested. AS the re-
suit Of his preliminary hearing he was held
for appearance at the next term Of state
circuit court in Sphinx county. Being I'M
able to furnish bonds in the sum Of $500
