Lennon School Matters.

The recently held school elec-
ton of the S i'm school district,
having resulted favorably to the
Lennon segregation project,
there will be held an election for
school officers for the newly
formed district. AS heretofore
stated, the new district is to COM
prise a territory of some four
sections, Of which the city is the
center, and the object is to de-
veiop here a system Of schools
adequate for the demands of a
place of the promise and promin-
ence Of Lennon. Although it is
as yet too early to speak of a set
program of school development,
this much all are agreed upon,
that the city must have a good
system of schools and thoroughly
competent corps of teachers.
Wednesday evening a caucus was
held at the Palace Hotel for the
purpose of nominating members
of school board, the governing
body of five. There was quite
an array of candidates, as many
as Is or more persons being men,
toned. Upon ballot, these five
persons were declared the popu-
lar candidates, to be placed be-
fore the voters at the election
Tuesday:
F. A. Finch, Dave Gettman, P.
j. Tscharner, Mrs. Mcnamara
Attorney Berry. These parties
received good majorities, and as
they have the support of the
best elements of the town, it is
safe to assume that they will be
elected.
A glance over the list will
promptly assure the reader that
the five names represent as
thoroughly qualified and capable
a personel as could be found, and
the voters of Lennon will not
make a mistake in placing this
SO important work of the schools
into their hands.

Some More Horse Shooting

Last Friday Deputy Thorpe
came back from Meadow, having
in charge a homesteader named
Charles Krantz, accused of hav-
shot two horses belonging to C..
H. Hall, a rancher thereabouts,
1t is the old story Of strife be-
tween the erstwhile lords of the
ownerless plain and the embattled
man with the hoe. Hall has
some 300 horses grazing, and
these must uhave been source of
no little concern for the settlers,
striving to make a home and a
subsistence for themselves So
it became plain of late that some
body had taken the law into his
own hand, for Hall claims that
outside of the two animals on
which this particular charge
against Krantz rests he has lost
no less than eight other horses by
shooting. So, when, according to
the rancher's story Krantz was
caught redhanded shooting Halls
stock, the information and arrest
followed Speedily.
Preliminary trial was had
Saturday before Justice Vallin,
with Attorney Berry for the de-
fense.. The defendant waived
examination, and he was commit
ted to the district court on the
evidence offered by the state un-
der $500 bail.

with a view to inducing immigra-
ton hitherward.
At the same time almost came
the invitation to take part in the
state fair which is to be held at
Huron, beginning the 4th Of next
month. Here an especially good
exhibit should be shown, because
here especially our products will
appear side by side with the
products of the rest Of the state.
The famous Corn Palace at Mitch
| ell which opens the latter part Of
September at Mitchell, must also
not be neglected, and an urgent
invitation is on hand for this Sec
ton of the country to exhibit
1t is, therefore, of utmost i'm
portance, that this section of the
Dakotas take an active part.
Every farmer who has brought
one or another product of field
or garden to good fruitage,
should aid the work by bringing
in a quantity sufficiently large
for at least four exhibits if
possible. Be the fruit what it
may, flax, wheat, barley, oats,
corn, roots or garden products,
of whatever kind, bring III some

may be used in demonstrating ad
oculos to the rest of the world
what we have and what we here
can do.
All products should, as much
as possible be torn out by the
roots, carefully tied and protected
from breaking or jarring. They
should be delivered to the State
Line Land Co. Eugene Wakefield,
or in fact, to any responsible
business man, who will gladly
see that the articles are properly
placed.
The various exhibits should by
all means be in as speedily as can
be, and no later than September
1st.
This work is of paramount i'm
portance to the entire stateline
country. Every homesteader,
every man, woman and child,
shares the responsibility Of
carrying the problem to success
ful fruition, and each will be in
part beneficiary Of whatever good
results are attained. A few good
exhibits, carefully placed, will do
more to decide whether our hold
ings are worth $500 or $4,000 per
quarter, than all the printer S ink

know, we have here a splendid
country worthy of being made a
community of homes and of pro-

power, capital, will be timid to
come to our aid until we have
shown that it's assistance is safe.
Despite the fact, that our settlers
have but barely begun to scratch
the surface that big areas could
not be seeded until it was, pro-
perly speaking, already too late
to expect harvest, and further,
despite the fact, that the season
has not at all been an ideal one,
there is a splendid crop ripe and
ripening for the sickle. This
fact must be shown.
