fund apportionment which amount.
to "a eents per capita this year. This
added to the $500 apporfionmcnt
made by the state gives Ellis county
enough to run the schools longer
than was expected or rather longer
than contracted for. Many OF the
common schools in the county will
run seven months instead of six as
contracted for last fall.
The county available school fund
is the proceeds from land sold,
which was invested in bonds, and
the interest on same is available
for use This - cents per capita
amounts to considerable when the
total enrolment OF the county is
considered.
Mr.. Ely says the schools are pro-

has been encountered thus far by
reason of contagious diseases. The

Statement.

The undersigned wishes to cor
gone ont regarding the account OF
the Jack Jones murder. The re-
ports in question stated that Miss
Estelle Knight, a night operator at
"a local telephone exchange, heard
groans when she answered the call
that was rung in when the telephone
was wrenched from the wall of the
garage. This is a mistake. Miss
knight heard no groans. Nor has
she at any time stated that she
heard groans. She merely heard
talking and scuifling going on and
paid no further attention to the
noise, as the operators have been
often annoyed by boys scuffling in
different parts of the city, during
which the receiver would be knock
ed from the hook, thereby auto
matically placing call at central
Miss Knight therefore had every
reason to believe that a friendly
bout was going on, and cannot be
rightly blamed in not becoming
alarmed at an incident OF frequent
occurrence. While the undersign-
ed deplores as deeply as any one
that Miss Knight was unable to rem
der assistance when needed, she
feels that more could not have been
expected of her under the circum-
stances. Signed, NJ. r. KNIGHT.
