SCHOOL BOARD At
FLASHER ENJ0lNED
Especial to the Tribune)

Mandan Pioneer: The early part
Of this week a restraining order was
issued out of the district court to re-
strain the officers of the Flasher
school district from letting the work
of erecting the new $4,000 school to
continue. ]. E. Mathena is the plain
tiff in the action brought on the part
of large number of the voters Of
the Flasher school district. He in
company with E. N. Bosworth and
J. M. Copenhaven were in the city
this week for the purpose of having
the action started. B. w. Shaw is
the attorney who has charge of the
case for them. There is only one
condition under which the contrac-
tors can continue with the work for
the present and that is to furnish
bonds as required by the court until
the case is tried on July 5, the day
set for hearing. After that day they
will in all probability be allowed to
either 60 ahead unmolested or will
be permanently enjoined, or the citi-
Zens of Flasher if they want the
school can build it by private sub
scription.
1t seems that in November, 1910.
the Flasher school district voted
$4,000 bonds for the purpose of build
ing school in the town of Flasher.
In May or June the school directors
entered into contract with con-
tracing firm for the erection of the
building at contract price of $10,73O.
and contract with a plumbing con-
Germ which amounts to about $1,000.
Besides this it cost them some $500
for the hauling of material. Figuring
on this basis it is estimated that the
total cost would go over $4,000.
Now the assessed valuation of the
Flasher district in 1910 was $4,000,
which would place the debt limit at
$4,000. 1t is claimed by the plaintiff
that the proposition of the building
of school now under construction
should have been submitted to the
voters, which was not done, that the
entering into the contract is wholly
without the authority of the voters
of the district
The school board, according to the
complaint, has no right to issue bonds
Ill SASOoo VI LuC uCUI ~ 10 d.
legged that tine school board threat
ems to issue warrants upon the treas
urer to pay for the erection unless
restrained from so doing.
The date of hearing is set for July
5 before Judge S. l.. Nuchols. Attor-
ney Nash is representing the board.
The defendants named in the COM
plant are: Flasher School District
No. 80, Morton county, North Dakota,
and J. A. Pierson, H. C. Jackson and
Robert Moorehead, constituting the
board directors of said school dis
trict; E. F. Leonard, clerk of said
school district, and A. c. Grace, treas.
urer of the district
The case is a very important one
and will be watched with the utmost
interest as it progresses. The work
on the school has gone ahead with
great rapidity this spring and the ty.
ing up of the matter will hinder the
completion of the building for some
time to come.

Feature
Especial to the Tribune)

CENTER, N. D., July 1.-The annual
picnic and reunion of the Oliver Coun-
ty Old Settlers association which was
held here Thursday was one of the
most successful in the history of the
organization. It has been estimated
that there were between 1900 anu 1900
people in attendance.
One feature of the days diversion
was big parade in which there were
hundred settlers in line. The Center
concert band led the procession ond
there were also a large number of
hoats. An OK cart, representing the
pioneer times, aroused recollections
of the long ago in the minds Of many
of the old timers present.
In the afternoon an interesting pro-
gram was held which consisted of Sc
lections by the Center band, which is
one of the ablest oratorical efforts
tions on the slope. There were also
a number of vocal selections rendered
all of which were greatly appreciated.
The address of the day was delivered
by Judge S. l.. Nuchols of Mandan,
who spoke on the "Old and the New"
and touched upon topics OF interest
to both the pioneers and to the pres
ent day settlers. His address was
one of teh ablest oratorical efforts
ever heard in this section.
A baseball game between Stanton
and Hensler furnished amusement for
the crowd for a part of the afternoon
and there were number of othel
sports, including horse racing. A big
picnic dinner added to the entertain
ment of the day. All who were inter-
ested in the project we're more than
pleased with the happy manner in
which the events of the day were
given.

Cross currents from the criss-cross

headed for He'll Gate and the mouth

Only a few people in the city kenw
that Atwood was on his way and of
these still fewer understood that he
