DEMINC RECEIVERS
THREE MONTHS PAY
Morris Man Sues School Board
on Breach of c Contract-Clerk
Fined for Assault

F. K. Deming returned this week
from Montevideo where he was the
plaintiff in a lawsuit against the
school board in district 81, Chippewa
county. He won the case. He also
had case against Ole Kvien, clerk
of the district, and won that, too.
Professor Deming was teaching the
district school last year and had a
contract for full term. About De-
cember 21st last year he was uncere-
moniously fired by the school board
who didn't think it was necessary to
settle for the three months unfinished
school term for which Deming had
been engaged on a contract. A little
while after this notice had been hand
ed him Professor Deming was accost-
ed by District Clerk, Ole Kvien, who
became so demonstrative that he took
to using. his fists. Ole didn't like
Deming personally and had less love
for histeaching methods. Other mat
ters outside the school also entered
into the dispute.
Some time ago Mr.. Deming decided
to test the validity of his contract
with the Chippewa county school
board. He engaged an attorney ane
brought suit to recover full pay. The
school board also engaged an alto orney
and in court at Montevideo last week
failed to show any reasonable excuse
for Professor Deming's dismissal. The
jury found verdict in favor of Pro
fessor Deming and awarded him ths
amount asked for.
The case against Kvien who was VI
on a charge of assault and batter.
was found guilty and he drew fin
of $25 and costs of the action. Kviel
expects to appeal the case. He wa
here the first of the week looking VI
Mr.. Deming's record but was evident
ly disappointed in failing OF find wha
he wanted.

JAKE KNECHT HAS
OIL CAN TRAGEDY
Man Leaps Into Water Tank
With Breeches on Fire as
Summer Kitchen Burns

John Knecht, a bachelor living
alone on farm near Hancock became
human torch early Wednesday morn
ing last week when he attempted to
light the kitchen fire with oil. Mis-
taking a can of gasoline for kerosene
he poured the contents into a smolder-
ing fire when there was an explosion.
The oil was forced into, his clothing
and was ignited. His head and arms
were badly burned before he extin-
guished the blaze by jumping into a
watering tank. The Hancock Record
tells the following story:
Last Wednesday morning Jake
Knecht met with a painful accident
that came near proving fatal. He
has been keeping house by himself ir
a summer kitchen on his farm and as
the fire did not stert quickly enough
Jake picked up can Of gasoline by
mistake and started to pour oil on the
fire. The whole can exploded with
the result that his clothing caught fire
and it was only by quick run to th'
stock tank, which was luckily full
and plunge into it that he was abl'
to extinguish the fire. At that hi
cap and most of his hair was burnet
from his head, the legs of his trouser
were burned 50 that they fell from
his limbs, and his hands, face ant
legs were frjgatfully burned. Jak'
was brought to town and is resting
as easily as can be expected unde
the circumstances and is slowly re
covering. The building was con
sumed together with all contents an
it was extremely lucky that tn
wind was from the southeast or tn
house on the place would have gon
also. Mr.. Metzger, who rents tn
farm, was away from the house a
the time the fire started and as hi
:. wife was unable to do much the situa
tion was pretty serious until tn
nearest neighbors were summoned an
| hastened to give their assistance.
