FOR DICKINSON NORMAL
OUR TEACHERS ENROLL

Supt. P. S. Berg of the Dickinson
schools and Supt. c. E. Ward of the
county schools, are back from Grand
Forks, where they attended the an
nual meeting of the North Dakota
Educational association. Both these
gentlemen seem well pleased with
the gathering this year which they
say was about the same size, in point
of attendance, as the meeting at Bis
marck year ago. The total enroll
ment was about 1000 but no greater
for the Valley at Grand Forks than
for the Slope at Bismarck. This
proves again that the teachers Of
the western part of North Dakota are
up and doing.
From Stark county the enrolment
was about 60, and if all the counties
of the state had done as we'll the
total enrolment would have been
5000 to 1000 instead of 1000. The
city of Dickinson alone enrolled 26
teachers.
The 1916 meeting will be held at
Fargo, and then as this year and
last year, the Stark county teacher
enrolment will be among the highest
of the counties of North Dakota.
This is the resolution which the
North Dakota Educational Associa-
tion passed for the proposed Dickin-
son Normal school:
"In view of the fact that the Leg
islative Assembly has taken the nec-
essary steps toward locating Nor
NAL school at Dickinson, we earnest
ly commend the matter to the seri-
Gus consideration of the state."
Supt Berg is member of the ex-
ecutive board of the association, hav-
ing been elected for a term of four
years in 1914.
In accordance with a motion of
Supt. Berg it was voted at the ses-
sion last week to incorporate the N.

like Mr.. Nonwciler every day and he
is, much pleased with the advance
ment.
Oakes is the home of Mrs. Nom

the change is also p1ossi-r in
double sense to her. NJ. Ncnweiler

Officers Caught Hauser in Minneapo-

Left Werner. He Was Well
Liked by People Out
North.

c. L. Hauser was taken before
Judge w. G. Crawford at Bowman on
Thursday, where he pleaded guilty to
embezzlement and received a sentence
of one year in the penitentiary.
This young man, German, who
has been in this county but few
years, had been employed as local
manager for the Mandan Mercantile
Co. at Werner the past season, and
until few weeks ago was appar-
emily doing splendidly. The people
liked him and he was able to get
business easily. However, he COM
menced to branch out in business for
himself, taking over all of the pool
halls of the town and incurring ex-
penses for which he did not have
the money. A shortage in the Man.
dan Mercantile Co. accounts was dis
covered, false balance sheet, etc.
But prior to this C. L. Hauser got
into scrap with another man of the
place and shot him in the leg. He
was taken to Dickinson, where he
finally agreed to pay $100 fine and
also to pay certain expenses for the
injured person. Hauser did not keep
his agreement, it is said, and it was

The detectives located the man in 4S
hours after he left Werner and he
saw quickly that the game was up.
C. L. Hauser was bonded for about
$4,000 which, with his personal hold
ings, will probably square up the
shortage of some $4,000. His short
age was made within a short space
of time and his false report sheet
threw the company's auditor off for
few days but not for long. The

were in Dickinson on Wednesday
afternoon with their prisoner and
boarded No. 3 for Bowman, going
down via Terry. On Thursday morn
ing Hauser received his sentence and
it was understood that the officers
were coming back to Dickinson in
an automobile.
AS far as known C. L. Hauser has
no relatives in the United States. He
had a great many friends until his
crookedness was discovered, and some
of his old friends are inclined to think
that he thought he could pay back
the money he had taken from the COM
pany from the fall profits from his
pool halls.

ABOUT DICKINSON PEOPLE

The News, published at Roseburg,
Oregon, has this to say about former
Dickinson people:
Charles E. Gray is opening COL
lecting and adjusting agency in the
office in the Masonic building, for
merly occupied by Attorney Geo. M.
Brown. Mr.. Gray is well known
young man in this city and has
many friends who wish him well in
the new enterprise. For some time
past he has been employed in the
Roseburg Garage as bookkeeper and
has had a great deal of experience
along the lines of work necessary in
the business which he will conduct. T.
J. III. Wolford, from the local corps
of coast artillery, was winner at
the national shoot, taking prize in
every event in which he was entered.
Although he did not rank high in the
individual shoot he added materially
to the score made by the state team,
as did Sergeant r. S. J.. Hamilton,
who made the trip for the first time,
and although not winning prizes
ranked among the foremost shots on
the state team.
i Very few Of them are boosting for
the Florida climate. Nearly every
day Of their stay in that state they
experienced a hot, pouring rain. The
grounds where the shoot was held
was almost level and the boys were
forced to wade in water several in
ches deep at times and many Of the
shooting events were held 4 in the
pouring rain. i ;3

AMlDON CANNOT BUILD COURT
HOUSE WITHOUT FIRST VOT-
ING BONDS. TEMPORARY
INJUNCTION MADE
PERMANENT.
Marmarth Gets Best of "Give and
Take" Proposition and Will Go
Ahead With $1,000 Bridge
Over Little Missouri
River.

Judge w. c. Crawford of the tenth
judicial district has handed down
decision in the Slope county injunc-
tion cases which were brought three
months since by prominent farmers
of the county, restraining the Slope
county officials, the Meinecke Build
ing Co. Of Fargo and the Security
Bridge Co. Of Minneapolis from pro-
ceeding with the erection of a
$11 900 bridge across the Little Mis-
souri, river at Marmarth and
$4,000 court house at Amidon. Con-
tracts had been let by the county
officers and work on both projects
was we'll under way when the in
functions were granted. The cases
were argued at Amidon, the county
seat, about a month ago.
There were two cases brought, one
involving the contract for the con-
struction Of tho bridge at Marmarth
and one involving the building of the
court house at Amidon. In the
bridge case the court decided that the
levy Of $4,000 together with the
money on hand was sufficient to
build the bridge at Marmarth out of
the annual tax without creating any
further indebtedness against the
county and that therefore the con-
tract made by the commissioners was
valid and the temporary injunction
heretofore granted is dissolved.
In the court house case the court
held that the contract price for the
court house could not be paid out of
the current revenues Of the county
for the present year and that there
fore this contract would create an
Indebtedness against the county and
that the commissioners could not
make valid contract to this extent
without submitting the proposition
to vote Of the electors of the
county. There are doubtless other
questions that enter into the matter
in the court house case that do not
apply in the bridge case The in
junction is therefore made perman-
ent, enjoining the building of the
court house at Amidon.
1t was figured by the farmers rep
resenting the Rainy Butte territory,
the people who started the injunc-
tions, that the court house would cost
fully $4,000 to 5000 when erected
and furnished, an amount clearly in
excess of the present tax revenues
of the county
The Marmarth people seem to have
the best of it over the Amidon con-
tingent in their give and take
agreement.
It is hardly believed that the court
house advocates will now care to
go to the expense of taking an
appeal. However, if they should it
would possibly be year before fin
al decision would be reached and in
the meantime a vote on the perman-
ent county seat Of Slope will have
been taken. Amidon and Marmarth
will be out for county seat honors
and it is also believed that some
place, on the projected Northern Pa
cific branch in the southeastern part
of Slope county, will also enter the
race.

the people as national and interna-
tional highways. The Red Trail,
which connects New York with Seat
tie is destined to be one of the
three great highways across this
country, and though great efforts had
been put forth by the Yellow Trail
people, the Red Trail presented such
advantages over the Yellow Trail as
the official route. This will mean
much to every city on the route
Mr.. Orchard told of the work that had
been. done in the building of the
bridge across the Little Missouri at
Medora. This was the last link need
there is still bridge needed between
Bismarck and Mandan, the Missouri
can be crossed by ferry, while this
was impossible at Medora.
Mr.. Orchard urged the people of
Morton county to get together and
through organization arrange for
the maintenance of a good road along
the Red Trail. This is being done
in every county from coast to coast.
In time Mr.. Orchard thought we
would get to the point where state
aid would be required in the building
of roads. The bridge across the Big
Missouri, he thought, was a matter
too great for the counties, or even
the state to undertake and in time
he believed it would be undertaken by
the National Highways Association
with federal aid. "i
Mr., Orchard is a very pleasing
speaker, inbued with his subject and
is certainly booster for good roads,
and for western North Dakota. In
him the city of, Dickinson and the
West Slope have a valuable asset. 8

charge of the business on Oct. 18, at
which time he and his wife will take

his time looking after farming interests
in fhe Potlatch section.
For fifteen years the Doctor and his
estimable wife have been identified
with Nezperce's business and social
life, and they have had no small share
in the town and country's develop
ment. Their efforts have been largely
along the lines of better moral devel-
opment of the community, and certain
ly have been fruitful. Nezperce will
miss them and their places cannot be
easily filled.

Consider Building New Church.

That Nezperce may have a new
church building is among the proba-
bilities of the not far distant future.
At we'll attended business meet
ing of the membership of the Metho-
dist church, held in the church annex
Tuesday evening, this subject was
considered, among other pertinent
matters, and the import of the dis
cussion was toward early favorable
action.
The present building has become in
adequate to meet the demands of the
increasing attendance, and the only
remedy considered is larger struc-
ture. The organization has most
excellent site for such an edifce as
would be required, and it would not
only add greatly to the prestige of
the church, but to the general ap-
pearance and character of the town
as we'll.
Dr. Andrew Warner, superintend-
ent of the Walla Walla district Of
the Methodist church, was in attend
ance at this meeting and rendered
considerable valuable assistance in
the way of suggestion during the
discussion of ways and means for
the new building.
