COSTS DIVIDED
JUSTICE BoYDsToN HEARS THE
NEIeHRoRHoo0 ROW AIRED IN
HIS COURT.

A rather amusing case was before
squire T. W. Boydston yesterday when
Elias Wolfe was brought before the
court on complaint OF E. Hendrickson
being charged with assaultlng Henrlck
son on last Saturday night. The men
are neighbors, and It seems that n
family quarrel was the cause OF the
entire matter.
The neighbors had been quarreling
and engaging In petty fights for some
tine. but not until Saturday night had
they had a real battle. The amusing
part Of the affair was that the two
men, both the defendant and the plain
tiff, were each fined the same amount
or rather, they split the costs OF the
case, the amount being $3.50 each.

The attendance in all departments of
the schools has been large throughout
the year. The enrolment Of pupils in
the high school and grades is between
625 and $50.
Under the efficient supervision of
Supt. R. E. Loveland and his corps
Of teachers good hard study has been
carried on by the pupils during the
year. The number Of tuition pupils is
steadily increasing, and several families
have recently moved to the city that
they might secure the advantages of
the schools, There are now IS tuition
students-42 in the high school, and 80
in the grades.
Eighteen teachers in all are employed
six in the high school, eleven in the
grades, and one music teacher for the
schools.
There are enrolled in the high school
no students. There are 35 in the
graduating class Of this year-seventeen
girls and eighteen boys. Their names
are given elsewhere in this paper. The
standing of the high school is shown by
the fact that it is retained on the &C
credited list Of the North Central
Association and it's graduates are en-
titled to enter, without examination,
the leading colleges and universities in
the north central states.
The schools are not only doing good
work, but there is a strong school sen
timent among the people of Mineral
Point. To know that such a senti-
ment prevails is an incentive to teach
ers and pupils in their work.
