WARD COUNTY TEACHERS
AND PENSION FUND
$50 Of 339 Teachers of County Com
pulsory Members of Fund-$747.S3
Raised by County Assessment

During the 1913 legislative session
a bill was passed providing for a
teachers insurance and retirement
fund This was amended slightly in
1915.
All teachers who have not taught in
the state before Jan. l, 1914, are re-
ouired to become members. Any teach
er in the state may become member
by joining before Jan. l, 1917. Twen-
ty-fve years service is required to
secure the pension, but only seven
years of service outside the state is
counted and the last five years must
be within the state. Teachers who be-.
long to the association are required
to pay an assessment of one per cent
of their salaries the first ten years and
two percent thereafter, but not to OK
coed 500 in any one year. There are
no teachers in Ward county at the
present time who are eligible to pen
sions. In Ward county, 339 teachers
were employed during the last school
year and $50 of this number are COM
pulsory members Of the association,
three of them being elective members.
The total amount assessed these teach
ers during the year aggregated
$747.S3. The fund is made up of these
assessments, in addition to ten cents
for every child of school age enum-
Grated in the school census. The aver

Word received announced the death
in New York summer resort of John
McKinnon, former superintendent OF
the LaMoure schools, McKinnon going

North Dakota farmers will estab-
lish new Farmers State bank at Far

It will be connected with St. Paul
bank and the Equity society is behind

and be used as a farmers clearing
house in connection with the St. Paul
concern. The Equity society made
this announcement at St. Paul last
week.
The Dickinson Press has been in
formed that papers have been served
in another act in the 81. c. R." VS.. j..
H. Caldwell case. The "man of mys-
tery'' is now at the home of Mrs: Mae
Luff Moran in Dickinson. Mrs. Moran
is sister of Jay Allen Caldwell and is
of the opinion that the man now stay
ing at her home is her brother. J. H.
Caldwell, the father, just as stoutly
maintains that this man is no relative
of his and is ready to fight the matter
to finish.
The work of every educational insti-
tuition under the direction of the board
of regents is suffering from lack OF
proper facilities, according to board
members. They point to the demands
made by each president of the institu-
ton for greater facilities as indicat-
ing the need for the establishment of
we'll ordered system of handling the
Institutions. The limited appropria-
lions for buildings by the last legisla-
ture are responsible for the universal
demands made this year.
Probably the most terribly accident
that ever occurred in the vicinity was
that which befell Mrs. Nick Schon at
her home two miles east Of Cakes on
Friday last, which resulted IN her
death. It is thought that she was at
tempting to hurry the fire in the cook
stove by pouring kerosene upon it.
The gas exploded, instantly envelop-
ing her in flames and setting fire to
the woodwork in the kitchen. Mrs.
Schon has suffered for years with a
weak heart and it is probable that the
sudden shock rendered her unconsci-
Gus. Death was practically instant
aneous.
Horace Ball, aged SO, brick mason
at Beach, was killed by charge Of
dynamite placed under a shack in
which he was sleeping. The shack was
completely destroyed, only one wall
remaining upright. Balls body, bad
ly lacerated, was found just inside the
wall. The dynamite had been placed
under the corner of the shack where
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-08-03

Ball was lying asleep. A fuse eight
or nine feet long was used in firing
the charge. The police are absolutely
without clue as to the perpetrator of
the outrage. Ball came to Beach
eight wears ago from Black River
Falls, Wis, and was without an enemy
so far as has been determined. His
family resides on homestead near
Beach, while he had been working in
the city, employed on building being
erected for j. P. Reeve.
Sober six days, having just signed
the pledge after a long period OF
drunkenness, Daniel Ranke, Seventh
Day Adventist, hanged himself at his
home, nine miles northeast of Ellen
dale. Ranke committed suicide while
members of the family were attend
ing church services, twenty miles dis
tant. His wife found his lifeless body.
The body of an unknown man was
found on wood-pile in the rear Of the
marble works, corner Of First street
and Front, Thursday last in Fargo by
Officer Nick Konen Of the police force.
The condition of the body indicated
that the man had not been dead long,
but Just how he met his death was q
mystery to the police. There were no
marks of violence on the body with
the exception of slight scratch on
his right cheek. Aside from Is cents
there was nothing in his pockets. The
dead man was between As and so years
of age and was fairly well dressed.
The only popularity Of the body. was
that his right leg was somewhat short
er than his left. He was clean shaver.
The verdict of the conorer pronounced
the unfortunate man victim of the
heat.

is SASS per annum.
Each teacher retiring from service
shall annually and for life receive q
sum equal to one-fiftieth of his annual
salary for the last five years Of ser

REVENUE STAMPS
 NOT REQUIRED Collector of Revenue Williams Ruled that Marriage Certificates Do
 Not Require Stamps.

| No war revenue stamps are re- Iquired to be affixed to marriage cer- tificates and those who feared that they might not be legally married
 are assured that they are not likely to be troubled by Uncle Sam. The story that revenue stamps must be
 affixed to marriage certificates in or
 der to make them legal was first pub lished in. the Epworth Herald, and
 was copied by newspapers through out the country.
 According to a ruling of the Sec |retary of Alaska no revenue stamp Is required on a marriage certificate. This ruling was. secured last June from Collector of Internal Revenue Williams of Tacoma. He stated that
 certificates did not require any reve- nue stamp, but if certificate was issued at the request of either of the contracting parties for their own pri-
 vate use, this would require a ten cent stamp. There has been no
 change in this ruling so far as known.

TITLE ID MINING
 CLAIMS DENIED
Department of Interior Has Sustain. ed the Ruling of Juneau Land
 Office In Valdez Case.

The Secretary of the Interior has sustained the officers of the Juneau land office in their decision involv- ing the application of Mrs. Ida May F.. Hes of Valdez, for patent to the jHuckleberry and Soloman Falls pla- cer claims, and the Ida May lode claim, situated on Soloman river.
 The Juneau land office rejected the application as to all three claims be- cause a valid discovery had not been made and also that five hundred dol lars worth of improvements had not been placed on the Huckleberry and Solomon Falls placer claims as re- quired by law.
 A fourth .harge had been. made that the land had been taken up for water power site purposes. The Ju- neau officers had no decision as to the latter point. The Interior de- partment has returned the papers in the case to Juneau and Mrs. Hes will be allowed to make a new application if she so desires.
 The land involved carries the pow CT plants of both the Hes. Electric Power company tie Alaska Water, Light, & Telephone company, The only title to the land now is that of possession under squatter's rights.
