No Connection With Boise.

There 10 no connection to-day
over the Independent phone with
Boise and probably will not be for
some time unless the Bell CON-
pany can be legally compelled to
connect up again. The Indepen-
dent company in Meridian claim
contract for free service made with
the old Independent company,
and claim that this has four more
years to run. The Bell company
evidently think they will not have
to live up TO this contract and
the matter will be taken into the
courts,

Vote for the Schools.

The Times has heard no good
reason for not supporting the pro-
posed bond issue for building
new school building. One point
was not made clear in last weeks
article, and that was that the new
building is not an addition but an
annex to the present building.
There are many good reasons why
the new building should be built
alongside the present structure
as one principal, one janitor, aud
one heating plant can be used,
while to separate the grade schools
would be to duplicate this expense.
La another column is a statement
from the school board explaining
the absolute necessity for more
room The quarters used in the old
school building cannot be counted
as so much room, as the question
of its being safe is constantly ag-
itated, and the school board
should not be compelled TO keep
classes there against their better
judgment. The present grade
school building has eight rooms
and there are nearly 400 scholars
to be accommodated. An annex
or enlargement of this building
would solve the problem for room,
and the board has figured that
$50, 900 will be ample 10 build an.
other building as large or larger

The school board is composed of
some OF our leading citizens aud
tax payers, and the proceeds Of
the bond issue will be carefully
administered and expended. Vote

COUNTY
OFFICERS FREED

Bowman, n. D.. Sept. 13.-Sheriff J.
j. Moore of Bowman county, former
Deputy A. M. Anderson and Clerk Of
Courts j. E. Guldemann, had their
preliminary examination before Justice
OF the Peace William Westphal at
Scranton. The sheriff was charged
with "conniving and assisting" in the
escape of Laben Woods from the Bow
men county Jail on the night of July
8. Anderson and Guldemann were
charged with exortion, in that it was
alleged they had received from Thorn
as J.. benson Cred TONY, SIS to allow
Springs.
In the sheriff's case there was no
testimony to show that he had con-
nived or assisted Woods In escaping,
but the states own witnesses showed
that Woods had been allowed certain
liberties because he had tuberculosis,
and the jailor, Jas. Dunn, testified that
the night Woods escaped, he a all
lowed him to go to the depot for a
package, and that he had not return
cd. The sheriff was out of town at
the time. The case against him was
dismissed at the close of the states
testimony.
In the cases of Anderson and Guide
mann the only witness was Red Tom,
who testified that he had done
any work since coming to Bowman
county three years ago. but gambling
and running a blindpig. He also tes-
tilted that Anderson was the mar who
arrested him and secured the evidence
against him. He is now doing time in
the Bowman county Jail for the of
tense for which Anderson arrested
him. The defendants were discharged
at the close of the states evidence.
Sheriff Moore is candidate for
treasurer of Bowman county, and j. e.
Guldeman is candidate for reelection
to the once of clerk Of courts.
There has been considerable of a
political squable here for some time,
and these cases apparently grew out
OF 1t. More trouble is anticipated.

COLLECTOR
WAS ARRESTED
3, C. TARPLEE, EMPLOYED BY
RuMELEY CO., ARRESTED FOR
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF"

Minot, N. D., Sept. 13.-B. G. Tarp-
lee, a collector employed by the Rum
eley Thresher Co., was arrested on a
charge of malicious mischief preferred
against him by Nels Selfore, a promi-
nent farmer residing about six miles
north of Minot.
According to Selfore' story he had
been indebted to the Rumeley company
for some $500 or 5000, and hat a few
DAYS ago he had made arrangements
to pay the notes held against him,
leaving the money at the Union Ma
tional bank.
Tarp1ee went to Selfores' farm and
demanded payment Of the money Sell
fore at the time was engaged in
threshing his grain and he informed
Tarplee that the money was at the
Union National bank and would be
delivered to the company upon the ex-
ecution of the proper papers. Accord
ing to Selfore, Tarplee was not salts
fed with this, but demanded the pay
mept of the none then and there,
otherwise he would stop him from
threshing further, Selfore said he
could not pay it then for the money
was at the bank and Tarplee is al
legged to have thrown the belt off the
machine, tearing 1t as well as break
ing one OF two parts belonging to the
machine and making 1t necessary to
stop operations for about two hours.
Selfore was in the city yesterday
and swore out a warrant for Tarplee
and the latter was arrested by Sher-
if Kelley. He appeared before Judge
Murray n took a continuance of his
case until next Monday.
