DON'T WANT HOUSE MOVED.
Efforts to Locate Schoolhouse ON
School Property are Enjoined.

Efforts to Locate Schoolhouse ON
School Property are Enjoined.
Notice of temporary injunction
which Judge MCGEE signed Tues.
day afternoon, was served on Morris
Appel and Hans. Graves that evening
restraining then, from removing the
school house in the Fourth ward
from its present location to a To-
cation in block fifteen.
The service of the injunction is the
elimination of a mistake made
twenty years ago, when the school
house was originally erected. At
that time Fred T. Evans, large
property holder in Rapid City, gave
two lots in Schnasse's addition for
school purposes. When the school
house was erected the contractors
placed it on the wrong lots Late.
on the lots where the school house
stands were purchased by Chris
Thomson, who now wishes to use
them. At a recent meeting of the
school board resolution was
passed authorizing the removal of
the school house onto land owned
by the school district. In discussing
the matter at the school meeting i,
is said that members of the board
understood that the school house
was to be placed on the lots original
ly donated by Mr.. Evans, although
the resolution as passed. did not
state that fact specially.
Three members of the board are
away; G. S. Donoho is in Denver, H.
w. Heinrichs is at his lumber camp
in the Hills, and James Hartger-
ing is at Underwood.
With this condition Morris Appel
and Hams Graves started to move
the school house onto block fifteen
and locate in a place which many
residents in the Fourth ward object
to because it is on low ground and
is long way from the center of
population of the ward.
When County Chairman F. G.
Feigel and Chris Thomson heard of
the move about to be made by Appel
and Graves they sought legal advice
with the result that Attorney
Charles w, Brown drew the papers
in the injunction suit which were
served yesterday. The hearing ON
making the injunction permanent
has been fixed for July "a. BY that
date the members of the school
board will have returned and the
court can be put in possession of the
real intention of the resolution as
t:assed by the board regarding the
relocation of the school house.

t.sed to give their baby away, pre-
paratory to going elsewhere to work
in the Army. Many who had read
of their action were very indignant
that they should attempt to give
away their baby, and the feeling
against them was rather strong.
When it was found, however, that
they were going to give their little
one away to the Lord and dedicate
it to His services there was a change
in the feeling, and those who had
surmised it before laughed to them
selves and said 81 told you so.'
