WORRIED ABOUT THE BOND.
District Near Solomon Raised 1t to
$4,000.

Solomon. July 2S.-The district Of
aicers Of school district No. 10, To-
Gated north Of Solomon, aired few
Of their local troubles before the
county superintendent and county att
'torney Of Saline county this morn
ing. 1t appears that the director
waa not satisfied with the amount
Of the bond given by the newly
elected treasurer Of the district.
The law requires that the treasur-
OF shall give bond equal to twice the
probable sum Of money that will pass
through his hands. Very few dis
arIcts have ever required a bond over
$1,000 and this much money Is rare
" ever handled by the treasurer at
one time, although It may amount to
that much in a years time.
The treasurer Of Dist. No. Is had
given the usual bond Of $1,000 but
1t developed that there would be at
least s1.1OO to pass through his
hands at different times during the
year and another member Of the
board held up some warrants and de-
manded that additional bond be Civ
en-. The members finding that the
INV actually required the change, the
treasurer made out a bond for s2.-
geo, which was signed by the third
member, the clerk, and they. all re-
turned feeling that matters were full
y adjusted in a satisfactory way.

has been working near that town,
|eloped with Miss Bertha Lockhart

her. Last evening he borrowed his
employers touring car to take the
girl home from church.
About midnight he called up the
house and told the folks the auto
mobile would be returned today, and
ANNOUNCING that he and Miss Lock-
hart were married.
No further Information was given,
nor did he say where the marriage
occurred.
During the past ten days twn other
elopements in automobiles have oc-
CURED. On Wednesday night Of last
week, married man who is said to
be highly connected and has a fam
lily in Ness county, eloped from Turon
with not only the wife Of Miami
township farmer, but took the family
along.
They left the woman's home two
miles north Of Turon, while the hus-
band was absent, taking her three
small children with them. They drove
first in the touring car to Zenith,
from where the three children were
sent to the home of the woman's sis
ter near Sylvia, and they then drove
on to Stafford.
The woman was seen later In
Hutchinson, but it is not known
where the clipping couple went. The
man in the case is said to be veal
thy farmer of near Ness City.
Another automobile elopement OF
an entirely different character, oc-
Cured in the same part of the coun-
ty a week or two previous, a young
couple Of near Langdon clipping In
an automobile, going to Kingman
and being wed there. They had to
use this method because of parental
objection to the match.
Still another automobile elope-
ment occurred a week ago Saturday
night when w. H. Laird, who has
been working for the Santa Fe rail-
road at Rozel, and Miss Letta Ira
cey, daughter of the postmaster at
Rozel, drove off in an automobile.
This elbpement, however, didn't turn
out Just as pianneo.

Il, K hot chase in a motor car after
the clipping couple and finally over
took them at Kinsley. Laird was
arrested and is now in jail at Lar
ned. The girl, who is only Is years
old, was taken back home.
Laird is a one-armed man, ana
the officers along the line were re-
ouested to search the trains and ar
rest him. At Great Bend the Off
GERS found man with one arm, and
