BUYS CHERRY ADDITION

@. H. Thompson, who came here q
couple Of months ago and bought the
Cherry addition, IN the south part Of
town, has sold his property to J. BEN
Russell and Guy Harris. Mr.. Russell
came up Monday with Mr.. Thompson
and made arrangements for having
the streets graded, walks built and
trees set ut In the addition. He pur-
poses to make the whole q delightful
residence district.
Mr.. Russell brought with Inn q clip
ping from the Times-D Democrat, Of
Altus, Okla, from which we print the
following clipping to show that Bax-
ter's fame Is not confined to the min
ing district:
~. Ben Russell, formerly of this
city, now located at Oklahoma City,
Il In Altus on business this week. Mr..
Russell and Guy Harris Of this city
last week purchased an addition to
Baxter Springs, Kan. From all &C.
counts Baxter Springs is one Of the
liyest towns In this part Of the coun:
try. being located IN the north end
of the Miami lead and zinc fields. Mr..
Russell Is q live townsite man, and
promoted several additions to Altus
IN past years, and Mr.. Harris has
been actively identified with the city'c
progress, and In all movements Of
public enterprise, being now one Of
the board Of directors Of the Com
mercial Club. Their association in
promoting the growth and extension
Of Baxter Springs should be Of bene-
at to that growing city"
The News begs leave to correct the
Times Democrat on one point. Bax-
ter is not the north end Of the Miami
lead and zinc fields, but the center Of
the Oklahoma Kansas field.

COUNTY OFFICER PRESENTS
SIDE OF BOND CASE

There has been considerable con
troversy over the sale OF the road
bonds in this county. in fact a suit
has been filed asking that the com
missioners be enjoined from selling
the bonds and the matter was given
publicity in a recent issue OF the Ard
moreite. In defence Of the county
commissioners position Chairman G..
W. Young Of the board issued the
following interview yesterday:
"On the 9th day OF November, 1916,
the board Of county commissioners
received and opened six bids for the
purchase OF these bonds, the premium
ranging from 500. to the top bid
which was accepted of Sl0l25O. all Of
these bids are a matter OF record
with the county clerk and can be in
spected by any citizen OF the county
or state.
"The Pearsall company who were
the successful bidders in addition to
being the highest, agreed to pay for
all legal formalties. to pay for the
expense that might be incumberent
upon the bond issue
This mater alone cost them over
$500 and the county commissioners
were assured that this debt would be
paid whether the bond issue carried
or not
AT the time the sale was made this
price was considered extraordinary by
the bond buyers present as their bids
will show, and the county officials
were congratulating themselves that
they had driven pretty good bargain.
People acquainted with bond mar.
ket fluctuates as that OF cotton and
wheat what is a good price today
may be bad price tomorrow. II is
hard to tell just what will happen.
There are many things that can
happen and very likely to happen dur
ing unsettled conditions caused by the
great war in Europe that would make
bonds drop below par, therefore the
board when they secured this price
decided that they had used safety
first" while they were able to secure
what looked like an equitable price.
Thirty days after the sale of these
bonds a party in whose name the suit
against the commissioners is filed,
after the board had adjourned on the
month following the sale Of the bonds
made an offer to the board Of an
amount but slightly in excess Of what
the original sale was made for

old man has been in the asylum before
and spent several years in the Iowa
asylum years ago before coming to
North Dakota. At times, he appears
to be rather rational and has always
been considered harmless, tho OF late
he had violent spells. He has been
making himself rather obnoxious by
taking possession Of various business
houses and soliciting customers for
subscriptions to various periodicals:
At his trial, Rose1and conducted his
own defense with the assistance of his
attorney and summoned half dozen
prominent businessmen to testify as
to his sanity, but they apparently
failed him.
