and closed the sale for two quarter sec
tiol,s Of land 20 miles north of BelReld.
The parties who bought are farmers
from Revillo, South Dakota. by the name
of C. j. Dahle and Geo. D. Perry. They
were we'll pleased with crops and con-
ditions around Belfield and were frank
to admit that the country seemed much
more prosperous than in their state.
c. J. Dahle has been the owner of a
fine half section of land seven miles
south of Belfield for over a year. He
paid $12 per acre for the land and has
been offered $1s this year. but he holds
it at SIS.
Gen. D. Ferry is a well-to-do farmer
in South Dakota. tut he sees such pos
sibilities for farming in this country
that he has about made up his mind to
move out another spring and break UP
his land and put it into crops.

The Yauch land wassthe pick Of the

Neil realizes that she has some very
choice farm land and is not intending

As a matter Of history it will be

Yauch to invest their money in the 6

obtained on contract at $3.50 per acre.
For many years the Yauchs used these
land very profitably for grazing large

BOND ISSUE
T CARRIES
But Two Votes Against PROPOSE
ton. State Will Take the
Issue. Proceeds For the
High School Building.

The vote at the armory last Saturday
afternoon ON the question Of issuing
$50, 600 in school district bonds. run
ming 20 years and bearing 4 per cent
interest. was practically unanimous
for the issue. OF the ITO votes cast,
10S were for bonds and against the
proposition.
At the election held on the 11th of
May to vOte on the same proposition,
there were 200 votes cast, of which
135 were for bonds and 81 against
bonds. rs
At the spring election great many Of
the negative votes came from residents
Of South Dickinson. while at the second
election there was not one vote against
bonds from the South Side, notwith-
standing the TACT that the German paper
over there had come out against the
measure. attempting to show that the
new high school was not needed and
that the South Side could prevent tha
bond issue.
Saturday was q very busy day among
local merchants. otherwise the vote
would have been much larger. Then.
too. there was the feeling that no one
would vote against the measure and
that it was not necessary to take the
time from business to cast a ballot for
bonds.
The bonds will be sold to the state at
once and the proceeds used in paying
for the high school now under course
of construction.

POSTMASTER ARRESTED

the postmaster had intercepted mail

decoy letters. On Thursday of last week
the inspector went out to the Office and
caught his man In the very act Of OPEN

Investigation followed which disclosed
the fact that he not only opened letters
according TO his fancy. but that he
ordered and sold goods in the name Of
the local firm Of Kostelecky & WokaI,
with whose business he was familiar,
appropriatine the profits to himself.
One case in point is cited. wherein he

On Thursday another U. S. marshal
appeared on the scene. arrested Edward
Kasal and took him to Dickinson. He
was taken before Justice Folsom where
he plead guilty to charges made and
was placed under ST., bonds which
he was able to give.
The bondsmen for the postmaster were
Rev. Thos. Rabsteinek and Sen. L. A.
Simpson Of this city. They resigned,
however, last June and the names OF
Joseph Polenska and W. Kostelecky
were placed on the bond. II is not def
nitely known whether these latter bonds
men were ever formally accepted. in
which case the former will be held for any
shortage which may be found in the
accounts. It is not known, however,
that there is any SHORTAGE. Irregularities
and NAL feasance in Office are the pres
ent charges. - ~
It is understood that Edward Kasal
made a full confession to Inspector
Drake on his visit at the office last
week, possibly thinking that by 50

would not be pushed. This. however.
is not the way Uncle Sam does busi-
