was stated that the county COM
missioners had expressed will
ingness TO take over that portion
of the walk between the ST. Maries
river and the dyke and make it
county thoroughfare. A motion
was made that the mayor appoint
a special committee to take up the
question of the rest of the walk
and report to the council In
discussing plans for the pipe line
from the pumping station the en-
gineer stated that if The city took

utilized to carry The pipe line
across the river, thus saving the
expense of putting it at the bot
tom of the river.
The city clerk reported the
water collections for the month
of July as s98f.I5. The coun-
ell canvassed the vote ON the
bonding question and found 6S i'm
favor of bonding the city for the
water bonds and 2i against and
declared the proposition carried.

Blow Safe of
Marble Creek Saloon

The saloon of William Saug-
sted at Marble Greek was broken
into late Sunday evening or
early Monday morning, the safe
blown open and robbed of be-
tween eight and nine hundred
according to report
which reached here Monday. The
saloon is situated about a quar-
ter of a mile from The store and
residence of Arthur Oleson, who
is deputy sheriff of that county.
Mr.. Oleson, however, was i'm this
city at the time of the robbery,
having come down the night be-
fore. He was notified by tele-
gram and returned there the next
morning to try and get some trace
of the robbers.
The sheriff's Office and the
police department here were also
notified and are giving what as
sislance they can i'm the efforts
To apprenend the robbers. The
robbery is believed TO be the work
of parties acquainted there and
who knew the conditions existing
ing. There are a large number
of men at work i'm the woods on
Marble creek and on the railroad
which is being built up the creek
Numbers of these men are i'm the
habit of coming out from the
camps on Saturday night and re-
naming over Sunday.
These men are paid i'm checks
which necessitates the keeping of
a large amount of money on hand
over Sunday at the saloon, in fact
a much larger sam than is there
at any other time during the
week. II is thought that the
robbers were aware of this and
chose Sunday night with that in
mind.

Superintendent ADpOr-
tons School Money

The semi-annual apportion-.
ment of state school money has
been made and Benewah county
received its share a few days ago.
.The amount received by the coun-
iy from the state in this appor-
tionment was S373S.92.
Nnder the law one of the duties
of the county superintendent of
schools is to apportion this mon
ey among the different school dis
tricts of the county. The law
provides that forty per cent of the
money shall be apportioned ac-
,cording to the number of pupils
forty according to the number of
teachers employed, and the re-
naming twenty per cent is used
in making up in those districts
having less than twenty-five
pupils, that being the minimum
required by law and in assisting
those districts that are too poor
to maintain a school.
The county superintendent.
Miss Ruth Gerhart, completed the
work of apportioning the stale
money among the districts Of this
county Saturday. There are
thirty school districts in the coun-
ly- the two principal ones being
81. Maries and Pummer. OF
the S3738.92, these two districts
get Si523.48, or nearly on-half Of
the entire amount, st. Maries get
ting S1O5i.ll and Plummer get
ting S472.34.
st. Joe and Fernwood each get
about $4,000. Emida, Santa
and Tensed, about $4,000 each,
and the other districts lesser
amounts according to the number
OF pupils. Several of these where
the district is weak are given
nearly twice the amount that the
number Of pupils would entitle
them to, the difference being
made up out of the extra twenty
. rer cent.
The county superintendent also
has the apportioning of the
county school money to the dis
iricls. This done quarterly and
the same asis is used as in ap-
portioning the state money. The
superintendent has completed the
apportionment for this quarter.
The amount of county school
money for the quarter was prac-
ucally the same as that Of the
state for the half year, the sum
heing S3236.93. As this is ap-
porlioned to the several districts
on the same basis as is the state
money the amount which each
district receives is nearly the
same as it receives Of the state
money, st. Maries share being
S909.90 and Plummer's S4O8.94,
and the others in proportion.

The city council held its regu-
lar meeting Monday evening.
Mayor HALEY was out of the city
and l.. Cormier, president ofthe
council, presided. Councilman
Bunt was also absent, being out
of the city.
Water Commissioner MARITIME
dis reported the expenditure of
S429.25 during the month i'm his
three departments of water,
streets and cemetery. BY far the
greater part of this was used i'm
the water department. He gave
a verbal report of the work done,
the most important item being the
raising of the Thorn Greek dam
1S inches.
Chief of Police steele report
ed two arrests during the month.
One of the parties was fined one
collar and costs and the other two
dollars and costs. He reported
That a number of boys under age
were smoking cigarettes ON the
streets, playing pool and some of
them had even been drunk on the
streets. He stated that there is
no ordinance covering these mat
ters but they are crimes under the
state law and that unless such
things are stopped he will make
arrests under the state law.
A. V. Braderick, superintendent
Of the Milwaukee Lumber COM
pany, appeared before the coun-
ell and stated that a certain par
ty who did not wish his name
mentioned at present, was desir-
ious of putting up box factory
here. That he had secured an
option on a piece of land owned
by Petersen & Campbell inside
the dyke near the old mill and
that he did not ask for a bonus
or for any assistance in putting
up the plant. He stated that the
Milwaukee, amber company had
offered thfS party a site near
its sawmill but the man did not
wish to be tied up TO any one mill
IN getting his lumber but wished
to be on the river where he could
get lumber from any of the mills.
This man asks the city TO put
in a hydrant and furnish him fire
protection and also asks the city
and county to take over the walk
from the Red Collar Line ware
house to the dyke on the east
side of the st. Maries river and
maintain it sOtthat he would have
a means of reaching the city.
Mr.. Braderick stated that if these
two things were granted the box
factory would he located here.
He thought the request very rea-
sonable and that the city should
Jump at this opportunity to Sc
cure a manufacturing plant here
and an increase to its payroll
without any expense to the cit
liens.
He said that he supposed the
city would have plenty of water
when the new system was COM
pleted and that the new box
factory would bring in more than
enough water users in that ad-
dition to pay the cost of giving
them a main for FIRE protection so
the city would be nothing out, and
that if the pumping station was
located on the Petersen proper
ty as had been suggested it would
cost the city practically nothing
as the pipe would have to be pul
in anyway.
One of the cOuncilmen sug-
gested that as they did not eX-
pect to run the pump over three
months in the year it would no
afford protection only that time
but Engineer Jaquelh. who wa.
present, stated that gate could bl
put in at the pump and when tn
pump was not running, the re-
mainder of the system would sup.
ply the water
The council seemed TO view tn
entire proposition favorably. l

BARRE, Oct. %. - Sarah LAWN, the
four-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Angel LAWN, who live near the
reservoir on the outskirts of East

er, Abilino LAWN, about clock.
Little Sarah and her brother were
alone in the hallway of their home
when other members of the family
about to seat themselves at the table
for the Sunday dinner, heard the re-
port of the shotgun. Mr.. LAWN rushed
into the hallway to find his daughter
lying on the floor with blood streaming
from a wound in the abdomen. DIR. n.
L. Avery was hurriedly summoned and
in the physician s automobile the child
was rushed to the City hospital, where
an operation was performed at 3
o clock. Bird shot from the small-bOre
gun had torn a great hole in the
abdomen and the eXplorative operation
performed by the physicians did not
disclose any of the small missiles that
were in the cartridge when the
gun was discharged. There We're symp,
toms of hemorrhage, and until death
came in the late afternoon the child
continued to sink rapidly.
Relatives of the child who were in
the house at the time of the accident
