SEEK TO BLOCK SCHOOL
School Election for Consolidated School
at Clemens Gets Into Court-Liberty
Township Taxpayers Seek injunction
to Prevent Il.

Clemens is not to have it's consolid-
ated school made UP OF the town school
district and districts Nos. Z and 8 OF
Liberty and Nos. l and 2 of Minerva
townships, without a legal struggle.
Alleging Irregularities and unlawful
acts in the method of calling and hold
ing the election, the school board n
taxpayers of district No. 8, Of Liberty
township. late Tuesday, filed a petition
in the district court, asking that the
Clemons board be %enjoined from pro-
ceeding further with the consolidation.
The suit is brought by the indepen-
dent school district No. 8 Of Liberty
and the following taxpayers of the dis
trict, some Of whom are members Of
the district board: c. S. Andrews,
James Borton, I. B. Turner, L. K.
Peterson, T. c. Andrews. v. r. Mooney
and w. l.. I%ngledue. The defendants
named are the independent school dis
trict of Clemens and the boar Of di-
rectors, consisting of Albert Brackney,
president; Aaron Brackney, secretary:
and T. B. Parsons. A. w. Grandrup, A.
Christensen, and E. III. Noble.
The election on the proposition to
consolidate was held May Is, and the
consolidation carried in all excepting
district No. 2 OF Minerva. The petition
sets out that due and proper notice of
the election was not given, and that the
notice calling the election stated that
1t was called IN the petition OF electors
Of district No. S of Liberty township.
whereas 1t was called on the petition OF
people Of Clemens. These, and other
alleged reasons, are set up as claims
why the election was Illegally called
and illegally held.
The petition asks that the action re-
sulting from the election be declared
void and that the defendant schoo
board be enjoined from levying n
taxes for the proposed school or from
taking any further seton relative to
completing the consolidation.

 Fairfield, Aug. 5.-The firemen' S fair drew a large crowd again last night and those who attended went away well satisfied with the treat ment they received. Although the circus in town drew a large number it did not seem to make much diff ference with the attendance at the fair. e
 The parade and performances Of Sig A. Sautelle's circus held the at tention of the town yesterday from the time the first wagons reached the town in the early morning until the last one departed today. The attend ance last night was above the aver age for show in this town but 1t die not answer the demand the ex- cellence of the performance required. Every one who attended speaks in the highest terms of the effort of the veteran show man to interest his clientele.
