in the years work. The closing
exercises was the graduation of the
senior class at the M. E. church on
Friday evening. The church was
nicely decorated and large crowd
was present. Some special music
was rendered which was much
appreciated. The class reClined in
easy chairs on the platform but
took no part in the exercises
except a couple of songs. Prof.
Byron Cosby Of the Kirksville
! normal, delivered the address and
it was a good one. His ideas are
somewhat advanced but he ad-
vocates things along practical lines
that would be we'll to receive more
attention by educators throughout
the country. He is an interesting
and instructive speaker and held
the close attention of every one
present for more than au hour.
The senior class this year is
composed of four girls and five
boys as follows: Florence May
Dye, Ruth Catherine Kneeland,
Grace Josephine Haight, Anna
Elizabeth Bartcn, Ernest McKin-
ley Adams, Jules Verne Hilton,

people of the town for the univer-

received many kind words of en-
couragement and hopes for their
future success.

successful event. Eleven girls

What is expected to be hotly
contested game will take place at
Jones' ball park Friday afternoon,
May %, when Laclede and Brown
ling cross bats. Laclede has an
exceptionally strong team this
year and Browning always plays
good ball and a fine game is looked
for.
At meeting of the school board
held last Saturday Superintendent
Page aud all the teachers were re-
elected except Miss Kraft who was
not an applicant. The year just

games during the season.
The convention at Linneus last
Monday showed that the republi
cans of Linn county are very
much alive and intend to make a
vigorous campaign this fall. One
year of democratic free trade has
so aroused the people that there
will be more active and working
republicans in the field than for
many campaigns past and they are
going to put out a strong ticket
and make an effort to elect it from
top to bottom.

LOCAL CITIZEN FINDS "a ELK TEETH
IN SAND HILLS.

Jerome Wilson, while taking a pleas
ure stroll through the Sand Hills last
Sunday afternoon, stumbled onto a
rusty knife and in stopping to pick it
up discovered and Elk tooth in the
sand near the knife, this led Mr.. Will
son to think that Mere might be other
teeth there also and after digging a
few inches discovered the other teeth,
forty four in all, meat Of them were
altogether in a sort OF a pocket in the
sand. Mr.. Wilson also found a string
of glass beads and a piece Of n human
skull. Strict search failed to reveal
anything further and the supposition
is that an Indian had been buried there
in the days Of long ago, it being the
custom when an Indian died to bury
his possessions with him and thai
would explain the presence Of the ELI
teeth, the beads and the knife which
the shifting sand finally revealed
Various portions of n skeleton hav,
been found by different ones in that
locality and it may be that they are 8
part OF the same being. This was ,
lucky find for Mr.. Wilson as the Ell
teeth are all fine specimens and ar,
worth anywhere from three hundred
TO five hundred dollars.

them fixed and while there, DR.. Enfield
filed with booze to the uttermost ca
pacity entered the garage and began
to abuse Mr.. Jones. The sheriff tried
Il reason with him but reason was de-
throned, he threatened Jones and call
ed him names for doing his duty and
arresting the five men who were caught
gambling the day before, In drunken
frenzy he started toward sheriff Jones,
the sheriff reached out his arm to push
him away and about that time the
lights went out and the drunken man
fell to the floor. He got up saying that
the sheriff had hit him ard called the
Marshall and Justice OF the Peace and
said that assault and battery had
been committed upon him. The Mar

Hall and turned him loose Sheriff
Jones was tried in the Justice court IA,
Forgan, the 22nd, and the court found
that the evidence was not sufficient To
convict and assessed the costs against
the plaintiff.
There is no doubt but that this was
a put up job on the part oil the "bunch''

humiliation of paying a fine because
he did his duty and arrested u few OF
their "pets" the day before.
