schoolhouse Not a Polling Place

Pierre-The county auditor is up
against proposition in this coun y,
I'm which he has no precedent to guide
him so far as he can learn. The mat
ter has never been tested out, and
there is nothing to indi ate what the
courts might rule. The question is the
right of using school house as a
polling place. 1t is customary to make
such selections in the county pre-
cincts over the state, and the HUI h IS
county board has followed the custom
ever since the organization OF the
school board. The township of DeGray
brought a pill to the county of five
dollars for cleaning the school house
after the election, The board after
considerable discussion allowed three
dollars for the work. but would go TO
higher.
After the school house in that pre-
cinct had been selected as the polling
place this year, the auditor was no if
ed by the chairman of the school
board that the county could not have
the building for that purpose at the
coming election. The auditor carried
his complaint to the county sup rim
tendent, who sustained the schcol

Clark of the bank some years ago fig
ured that if some fluid could be used
against yeggmen, a great battle to-
ward the safe keeping of money would
be won. Accordingly he purchased
two bottles of formaldehyde, placing
a quart bottle between the doors Of the
vault and another in the small box
safe. Those he called his "Yeeg doc

the vault with second charge but
the bottle of formaldehyde was smash
ed all to pieces and its fumes repGls-
ed them from taking the little safe
which contained about a thousand dol
lars. The yeggmen broke into the
