DIR. MARSHALL oUsTED FOR
. ACTS OF CRUELTY

ACTS OF CRUELTY
A rebuke to the shoddy admins
tration guided by Former Governor
Deneen is given by the decision of the
state civil service commission in dis
missing DR.. James A. Marshall, form
er physician at Pontiac.
Three charges out of ten against
Marshall were sustained. In the Ian
guage of the-commissioners they are:
''You are charged with beating and
abusing boys on their entrance to
the Feformatory. ..,r
"You are charged with knowingly
permitting guards and teachers in
this reformatory to beat and abuse
boys without reporting the same to
this board.
''You are charged with using pro-
fame, obscene and indecent language
to boy inmates without cause or rea-
son."
A fourth charge was also sustained,
but which the commission found
some excuse for was:
"You are charged with insisting on
boy inmates admitting they have
pSen guIIIy OF gross lHlInoIdltleSA ana
nameless crimes and with having
beaten and abused them when they
denied such charges"
The dismissal of Marshall should
mean the gradual abolition of cruelty
on the part. of those in charge of
prisons throughout the entire state.

On the 9th day Of May, 1912,
P. J. Bunker, who had previous
ly had charge Of the office in the
W. B. Jordan & Sons grocery
store at Miles City, which blythe
way is the largest in that city,
came to Wibaux and opened the
Bunker's Cash Grocery. Mr..
Bunker had made this city a
visit and found that the store
building which he now occupies
was just completed and would
make an ideal place for a gro
cery store, so he Immediately
decided to locate here and cast
his lot with Wibaux and the Wi
baux country. Mr.. Bunker car
ries complete line of the best
brands of goods and his place
is noted for being one Of the
neatest and cleanest stores in
these parts. P, ]. Bunker be-
lieves that advertising is what
gets the business and he has al
ways carried a space in the Pio-
neer for the purpose of letting
the public know just what he
has to offer them. He is of the
younger set of business men of
the town, but he is for the up
building of Wibaux first, last
and all the time.

pense of the necessary buildings
any way it would be far better
for us to have them where we
could get to them with out a
long expensive trip by rail or a
long cold ride overland to Baker
or Ekalka.
So lets all get together and
boost for our home town. Boost
for our coming railroad. Boost
for our good roads. Boost for
our home market. And once
more all get together and Boost
for Dennis for County seat. And
if you can find in your vicinity
one doubling Thomas, don't let a
chance escape to talk Dennis to
him every time you meet him.
You cannot convince or convert
man to your way Of thinking
by talking to him once or twice,
but by keeping ever lastingly at
it, keep this matter before him
continually and you will soon
have him thinking the matter
over when he is alone and when
you get a man to thinking you
have him more than half con-
verted.
So lets all HOP" to it Citiz-
ems and see if we can not roll up
a nice big majority for Dennis.

SubsCripti
Are Now Due
The Money Is Due US and We
Need It. Don't Make Us
Ask You For Il,

The first part Of this week we
mailed notices to a part of our
subscribers who were in arrears
stating just when their time ran
out and how much was due US.
Now this was not dun" but
we need the money and it is due
US. Uncle Sam compells US to
keep our lists in shape and to do
this every subscriber should ar
range to pay up at least, once
year so that we will not get into
any trouble with our Uncle.
The Pioneer lists are in excell-
ent shape but we intend to have
them all paid in advance before
very long. The farmers are
coming in every day and paying
up so that we will not be oblig-
ed to send them statements.
We certainly appreciate the at
titude shown by the farmers in
helping us to keep the Pioneer
at the front and that of being
the only real" newspaper in
the Beaver Valley.
There are many who do not
seem to pay much attention to
statements sent out and as we
can hardly afford to keep send
ing notices which costs us real
money for postage we have,
concluded that after reason
able time we will be compelled
to go personally to these people
and present our bill. We don't
like to do this but the money is
due us and after receiving one
notice a person should respond
immediately. Now when you
receive your notice come right
in and settle your account as we
need the money, and it is due us.
We are giving a baksavher
dust pan with every new SUBJ
scriber or every renewal. This
is Q handy little article and saves
the women from bending over
when taking up the dust. All
the ladies will appreciate one of
them so get busy and get one
for your wife before they are all
gone. We have only a limited
amount on hand.

Dennis For
County Seat
Following is a Letter Written By
a Dennis Citizen Explaining
Some Good Points.

There seems to be considerable
doubt in the minds of some Of
our citizens as to the advisibility
of Dennis entering the race for
County seat, of the proposed
New County of Fallon, to such |
would like to offer a word of ad-
vice.
Go into this proposition as you
would go into any business prop.
osition. for it is a business prop
osition AS you can plainly see if
you will give the matter little
consideration.
1t is a we'll known fact that
the bulk Of the taxes levied in
any county for highway improv-
ment is expended principally
near the county seat, and as the
territory continues to Dennis
will at the present valuation Of
property both real and personal
pay at least one half the taxes
in the new county. it seems to
me to be good business propo-
sition to get the benefit of these
taxes in the vicinity when the
bulk of the taxes are paid.
Again in case Dennis wins the
county seat, it is a safe bet that
we will have a railroad up the
Beaver before another harvest,
and the benefit to the farmers of
this territory of a home market
looks to me to be another good
business proposition. Again
the establishment Of the county
seat at Dennis will mean an ad-
vance in the value of your farm
lands at least Is per cent and
that looks to me like another
good business proposition. How
does it look to you Mr.. Farmer?
On the other hand the doubt
ing Thomas will say, I'VE will
have to go to the expense of
building a Court House, Jail, etc
and that will make our taxes
higher than ever. '" Admitted
that it will make our taxes high
er but there seems to be little if
any doubt but what the County
will be divided and it seems to
me to be a good business propo-
sition as we must be to the ex-
