Marshall, Mo-, as a county ward.
On Wednesday the Court, accom-
panied by County Highway Engineer
Francisco, made trip of inspection
over roads near Iron Mountain, Bis
marck, Frankclay and Elvins. They
also looked over two short strips of
road about a mile in length each,
from Bismarck to the Washington
county line, with a view of improving
one or both of them-most probably
the established public road--to con-
meet with a road of the Caledonia
special road district in Washington
county; and also the grade of the de-
funct Bismarck and Bellevue Valley
railroad, which is preferred, we be-
lieve, by the Bismarck people, with
view of making it the connecting
link. No decision, however, has been
reached as to this route, but the
Court has taken the matter under adj
yisement.
Fred Cantrell and Clara Ella Au-
Buchon, patients at State Hospital
No. d, were changer from private to

and warrants were issued to the Hos
pital treasurer for six monhs' support
