WIFE DESERrER CAPTURED.

Richard Block, resident OF this
city who took his departure from here
in the early summer without bidding
adieu to the members of his family or
leaving any address to which they
might forward mail to him was located
during the past week near Aberdeen,
South Dakota, and was brought back
from there Tuesday by Sheriff Pellett.
Block, when arrested was working on
threshing crew few miles from
Aberdeen. His family, consisting OF n
wife and five children, the eldest of
whom is but eight years of age, were
left practically destitute and for some
weeks past have been supported by the
city.
This capture adds another to quite
lengthy list of gentlemen" who have
sought to shirk the burden of support
ing their families, that Sheriff Pellet
has located and escorted here from
other states. Under the new law the
court may in cases of this character
release the defendant on probation at
any time after he is brought before it
upon his giving bond to comply with
the courts orders as to the supper, "
those legally dependent upon him, and
this course has been followed in some

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The city council met in special ses-
sion Tuesday evening to consider the
question of the submission to the
people of the question of purchasing
the electric light properties. A pend
ing resolution to submit the question
at the November general election was
read, The mayor urged its adoption.
He thought the acquisition of revenue
producing properties would accelerate
the building Of needed school buildings
instead of retarding it. He said that
good school room could be arranged
temporarily without building.
Thoreson urged that the whole mat
ter be postponed until the earning
capacity of the water plant be deter
mined
Beasant said that no one can object
to a referendum. Frazier thought it
would be better to submit the question
than to have it submitted over the
councils head by petition. Schelln
thinks the question may not carry un
til the people see how the water ven
ture pans out and insisted that if the
question must be submitted that it be
at a special election. Goetzler moved
that it be submitted at special elec-
tion. This caused considerable mis-
understanding but it carried, Frazier
and Thoreson voting 'no' the former
because he wanted it at the general
election, the latter because he doesn't
want it at all this year. The question
was then on the adoption of the resolu-
ton making the especial" election
day the same as the general election
This vote was FAYE" 0; noes, Zeman,
Smuggler and Schellin, 3; absent,
ANDERSON, and Schroeder The
mayor urged the 3 ''noes" to
change to make eleven "ayes" but
failing to bulge the three declared the
motion carried anyway If this bare
majority vote ''goes" the question
will be submitted November 5th.
Plumb decorated nearly all the mem
bers with bull moose lapel badges, but
they all wore them with their fingers
crossed except himself and Frazier.
