basket while she was away, but
Frisky did not mind. He
thought he would like very much to ex-

Frisky was a little white kitten with
a black nose, and the very end OF his
tail was black also. Other than these
black marks he was milk-white. His
mother made his coat slick and clean
every morning, and sometimes during
the day, for Frisky was mischievous
little fellow and often got into trouble,
as you will learn. After his mother
went out Frisky went to sleep, and
when he awoke the house was very
still. He jumped from the basket and
looked around. There was no one in

one there either.

The st. Anthony Clemens school war
&c over The contest, which has been
wased in the local courts for more than
wear. growing out of the consolida :
ton at st. Anthony and Clemens and
the dispute in which the school boards
became engaged as to which owned
certain territory claimed as part Of the
territory both had taken in when they
consolidated. has been settled by the
two boards.
According to the stipulation Of set
tlement. which will be filed later. St.
Anthony wins insofar as the territory
in dispute becomes its territory. This
was the bone of contention in the law
suit st. Anthony brought to enjoin
Clemens from levying taxes against 1t.
St. Anthony Boundary Stands.
According to the settlement the east
boundary line Of the st. Anthony dis
trict. as established by the st. Anthony
i'consolidation stands. which leaves the
disputed territory the territory Of ST.
Anthony. This settlement places the
east boundary line OF the st. Anthony
consolidated district about midway be-
tween Clemens and st. Anthony and
pushes east the Clemens consolidated
districts west boundary line from the
edge of ST. Anthony about half q mile
or more.
St. Anthony Pays 500.
The Clemens district gets the two
school houses In the territory and the
st. Anthony district pays the court
costs Of the last trial, up to the amount
Of $780, If the costs are more than
that the Clemens board pays the rest.
Each side pays its own witnesses.
The settlement, insofar as the
boundary line question is concerned. is
in harmony with the decree Of Judge
Nichols. when he recently enjoined the
Clemens board. st. Anthony brought
suit to have Clemens enjoined from
levying any taxes against the land in
dispute. and few weeks ago Judge
Nichols issued temporary injunction
TO that effect. The lawsuit, however,
resulted in the bond issues Of both dis
tricts being tied up and hindered their
preparations to build school houses for
the consolidated districts.
