THIS FATHER NOT ID INTEFERE WITH

Chancery Court Directs Or, der to J. B. Katz on Mrs.
 Katz' Plea.

A good many members of the hu- man family of, the, sex Kipling de scribes as the less deadly hold to the opinion that ones children are liko other property-,to do with as one sees fit. Judge John NJ. Elliott of tho, Jefferson chanccry court does not sympathize with this view-hardly will he tolerate it. In fact, he will not in the case of J. B. Letz. to whom tho court yesterday directed an order restraining Latz from interfering with Mrs. Latz or the two Latz chil- drcn, or ordisposing of any community property, or attempting to fix q liep thereon. ~"
 The action was taken upon the peti- ton of Mrs. Clara Latz. who filed suit for divorce. alleging cruel and brutal treatment. She stated that when she and Latz were married in Pulaski county several years ago, they had nothing. They located about seven miles norbh of Pine Bluff, and through thrift tfand diligence acquired forty -acre farm. a number of good inilch cow3, chickens, horses, etc. in fact. Everything that goes to make up a &ice little farm. Mrs. Latz says -ahe worked hard to build up tho Nttle farm, and free it from debt, ana now her husband threatens to aspose of the place, leaving her and Iyhe children without means of sup port. She's a brave woman Mrs Latz. Likewise, she does, not indicate a high opinion of her husband--as a man or provider. She tells the court that with the farm she can provide for herself .and her children, if Latz will just make himself scarce
 The court displayed willingness to protect tho wife, issuing an injunc- ton against Latz. who was served by < the sheriff's department almost ln' stanter,

County Roads
Talked Again

AT a recent meeting of the
board Of county commissioners
the suggestion of building two
or three good roads north and
south thru the county was
brought up and discussed but no
action was taken regarding such
a movement. The county il
levying a county road tax for
use under direction of the county
board in places where the work
does not come under the direct
supervision .of the township
boards or where the amount of
money required is greater than
could be met by the township
organization. In addition 10 this
there is an annual road tax lev
led upon autos. Good roads are
second to nothing in the building
up OF a country. The work ia
now done by the various town
ship organizations without any
definite outline or plan and the
results are Indifferent II the
three such roads, one south from
Lennon, one from Haynes and
one from Hettinger, could be
surveyed and the work let by
contract it is quite probable that
good graded thorofares could be
built for about a hundred dollars
per mile. Such plan could be
followed by the various town
ships building main roads east
and west to the county roads so
that within a short time every
farmer would ke within a few
miles of an excellent road to
market. Money spent in build
ing cross roads and bridges at un-
necessary places would be saved
and 1t would be an economy in
taxes and In horseHesh, to say
nothing of the improvement TO
be gained in the transporting of
mail to the interior of the county.
The coenty now has about $4,000
in the road and auto funds and
we would like TO see the expert
ment tried out. Bison Courier.

In its reply the United States de.

The language Of the American note
reveals that this government consid-
ers the exequaturs originally issued
by the Belgian government to have
been suspended, and not expired"
as characterized In the German COM
munication. This construction Is in
accord with similar phraseology used
by the United States on previous oc-
casions.
While not questioning the German
governments military occupation, the
American note presumes that the
American consular officers at Brussels,
Antwerp and Liege are personally
agreeable to the German authorities.
II they are not, the communication
asks that the Washington government
be promptly informed. 1t does not
state whether new consuls would in
that case be designated TO replace
them.

The annual Militia dance was
given in Armory Hall last Fri
day evening and according to
predictions, ranked as about the
best Of the season.
The decorations we're by fer
the best of any dance given this
season, and showed the pains
and time that was given to it.
The boys bad the company en-
blem we'll spread throughout the
hall, and the stars and stripes
were to be seen decorating many
an otherwise bare spot.
At times the floor was crowded
to it's capacity with couples en-
joying dancing, to the strains of
the excellent music rendered by
the Lennon orchestra. A n d,
lest we forget, Lennon certain
ly has some fine orchestra.
Preceding the dancing a crack
squad gave an exhibition drill
W h C h was enjoyed very
much by the assemblage. 1t
also was Of a very high order,
and with very few exceptions
was perfect to regulations. The
only thing that was lacking to
give it better appearance
would have been if the boys
were equipped with the blue
dress uniform. The squad was
under the command Of K. r.

Mcintosh Suffers From A Big Fire
Standing Rock Hotel Burns 70 The Ground
Guests Escape With Their Lives But Lose All Of Their
Clothing and Other Effects

The Standing Rock Hotel,
which was conceded to be the
finest and most up to date hotel
between Aberdeen and Miles
City, was burned to the ground
on Tuesday morning of last week
January 10th. The value of the
building was estimated to be
about $40, 900 with $1,000 insur-
ance.
While there were several most
miraculous escapes by the guests
most fortunately there were no
lives lost, excepting a pet bull
dog owned by E. J. Morris, as
sistant cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank, and formerly of
this city.
At about 2::15 o'clock in the
morning the alarm Of fire was
turned in, and the citizens were
awakened to find that the Stand
ing Rock Hotel was afre. By
the time that the fire boys were
on the scene and had two
streams of water playing upon
the structure it was realized
that the hotel building W a 8
doomed, so the boys endeavored
to save the adjoining building
which was only three feet away.
1t speaks we'll of their untiring
efforts to have checked the raw
ages of the fire before it had
spread to the adjoining building.
The fire appears to have start
ed from the furnace in the base
ment, and before It was discov.
cred the entire lower floor was
ablaze. Even the night clerk,
Jack Claypool, who was sleeping
in the office, didn't discover it,
until he was aroused by the
squeaking of his cot, giving
away under the burning timbers,
He awoke from a sound sleep,

aware Of the situation, they had
all they could do to save their
lives, let alone trying 70 save
anything, and e. j. Morris,
