SCHOOL FIRE
INVESTIGATED
Deliberate Destruction Alleged
Is Result of School
Fight.

Bismarck, N. D.. April 3.-1ncen-
diarism for which no possible justin
cation can be found Is believed to
have been responsible for the destruc.
ton Of the public school building at
Medora, which H. L. Reade, deputy
state fire marshal, now is investigat-
ing.
ur The building uttan was s%, burned . to the
made the night before, had failed. In
the first effort shades which had been
removed from the windows by the
teacher were restored by the destroy
ers. in order that residents in the
n~eighborhood Of the school might not
zee the flames, and a large section OF
flooring in the vicinity Of tho stove
was saturated with oil and ignited.
The flames burned out after consum-
ing a space of about six feet, and the
school was opened the following
morning. Tracks were found, and the
footprints of a horse believed to have
been ridden by the fire bug were trac-
ed to a point two miles from the
school house.
And that night the incendiarist re-
turned and completed the job.
There had been some little argu-
ment as to the location Of the school,
Of the Little Missouri. A majority
Of taxpayers wanted a school on the
west side Of the river, and the school
board recently had voted to comply
with their wishes and build a new
school there. This friction, there
fore. can hardly be held responsible
for the destruction of the old school
building.
While in the western part Of the
state. Deputy Reade also investigat-
cd the burning Of a school at South
Heart.

reversed by the supreme court and
then reargued, is a second time re-
versed and remanded for retrial in an

tails are generally known, originated

to Betsy Sogge Jones. Her mother.
Rhonhiid sogge, and her husband.
Elmer Jones, wer held Is. occom-
plices. The principal was found gull

IMPORTANT OPINION
WILL AFFECT VOTERS

Bismarck, N. D., April 1.-The at
torney generals Office has Just hand
ed down an important opinion affect
ing the right to vote Of an elector
who moves from M precinct to an
other within tho ninety days last pre-
csding n election. The point was
brought up by a city in which a COM
solidated voting place has been es-
tablished. The city is divided into
wards, but all wards vote at the
same place. and 1t was urged that
under these circumstances the fact Of
an electors having moved from ono
ward to another should not have the
Same effect as in municipalities
which have distinct polling places for
each ward.
The opinion Of the attorney gen.
erals ONCE IL that under the statutes
Of 1911 any elsctor who moves from
one precinct to another within ninety
days last preceding an election loses
his vote. Prior to 1911, there was Z
provision enabling an elector who had
changed his residence during this
period from m precinct to another
within the same city to return to his
former precinct to VOTE. This provi-
sion, however, was omitted when the
election laws were revised in 1911.

use. I would not hesitate in saying
that Swamp-Root will cure catarrh or
Inflammation Of the bladder for I
know of cases where it has effected
permanent cures. and in rheumatism
It has been found to be very valuable.
