INCREASE COST OF
EAST SIDE SCHOOL

+. M. Goodman brought up the
matter of increasing the proposed
bond issue for the new East side
school building from $4,000 to $780,
600 or $4,000 because of the numer-
Gus complaints made by the resi-
dents of the city when asked to
sign the bonding petition that "the
sum asked for is too low"
This matter was brought out in a
recent issue of the News.
1t was pointed out that the addi-
tional amount would work no hard
ships on the tax payers of the city
as the added amount would increase
the taxes but very slightly, and that
the fact that the city would then
have building suitable for all pur-
poses for many years to come would
more than offset the small cost now
as undoubtedly with the building as
now proposed another would have to
be erected in short time, necessit-
ating another bond issue.
1t was proposed to change the fig
ures on the petition with the con-
sent of those already signing and
then to get the balance of the sign
ers necessary to bring the matter
to vote at special election.
1t was proposed that the matter
of the two bond issues be taken up
at the same special election.

PLANS DISCUSSED FOR RUN
MING PROPOSED SEWER
SYSTEM THROUGH
CITY'S ALLEYS

The proposition mentioned at the
meeting of last week whereby A. H.
Brown planned to cover the city
with a network of sewers for sani-
tary purposes was brought up at
the meeting this week and discussed
in detail.
1t is the plan to ask for a 20-year
bond issue to cover the cost Of con-
struction advertise for bids and let
the contract to the lowest bidder. If
Mr.. Brown gets the contract he
agrees to take the bonds off the
city's hands.
Irrelative as to who gest the con-
tract, the plan is to assess the en-
tire cost of the sewer construction
against the property owners, the city
itself standing no burden. 1t is es-
timated that the entire cost would
not exceed $40 per lot, making a
charge of 81 per year against each
lot in the city, which was figured out
as very low tax for the service rem
dered.
To Use the Alleys
After the matter was gone over in
detail it was moved that the city en-
gineer be instructed to prepare an
other set of plans showing the cost
of making the sewer extensions
through the alleys instead of
through the streets of the city. 1t
was pointed out and agreed to by
the majority of those present hat it
would be much more advisable, not
only because of the fact that the
streets would not be torn up during
the construction, but also that it
would also occasion the laying out of
the alleys through Mobridge and
would also alleviate the necessity of
tearing up the streets again for fur
ther extensions and repairs.
So..s drawbacks, however, were
feared in doing this, and this feature
of the proposition will be gone over
more thoroughly at the next meet
ing.

Story Of Invention
This process was invented by Emil
Fernholtz, an American of German
birth. 1t is not new, in fact the
briquetting of coal with it's own
pitch was known in Germany for SO
years. Mr.. Fernholtz has been en-
gagged in the manufacture Of heavy
machinery all his life, being the in
ventor of the world famous Fern
holtz brick press, the best press of
it's kind in the market. These press
es are turning out all the brick made
at the Aberdeen Pressed Brick COM
pany's plant at Nina.
After studying the Ignite fields
around Los Angeles, Mr.. Fernholtz
went back to Germany and spent
sometime there in the briquetting
mines as laborer getting informa-
tion on the processes used there. He
then returned to this country APP
piled what he had learned to the sit
uation as it exists here, perfected his
processes and patents, built his ma
chinery and installed a plant near
San Francisco. The first of the year
he shipped his outfit to Scranton at
the urgent request of e. A. Johnson
and the future is yet unrevealed.
Greater Than All
IN speaking Of the plant at Scran-
ton and the process Mr.. Parmley
said:
Yesterday I stood on the tressle
of the Johnson Fuel company's plant
~ Scranton and saw a train of 13
steel coaches roll over the steel trail
from Seattle to Chicago, and at the
same time saw 20 automobiles pass
along the Yellowstone trail bound
east and west. called the atten-
tion of my companion, a civil engin-
eer, to these two great advances in
the progress Of civilization.
"'Yes,' he said, 'and right here in
this briquetting plant is another, and
1t means more to the people Of the
northwest than either Of the two we
have just seen.'
II didn't say. Ibelieve you.' but !
don't know but that he was right"

SNYDER ACQUITTED
OF MlRJtK CHARGE

Buffalo, May lO.-Special.-Wil-
liam Snyder, charged with the muir
der of Gunder Anifson at Cadyville,
a little hamlet in the northeas tern
part of Harding county, last fall,
was acquitted of the charge at the
term Of the circuit court just clos
ed here, the testimony going to
show that the shooting which re-
suited in the death of Anifson hav-
ing been the result of drunken
brawl
The evidence showed that one day
last fall, wet stormy day, Albert
Anifson, the 22-year old son of the
deceased, who had been threshing
near Reeder, N D.. accompanied by
Louis Franzan, took a car and drove
to the Gunder Anifson home, two
miles from Cadyville, after first
taking couple of drinks of alcohol.
On the way they stopped at Cady-
vile at Snyder's restaurant, taking
Dolph Perkins, Snyder's hired man,
along with them.
Upon reaching the Anifson home
they found the father and Snyder
drinking whisky in the granary and
joined the party. During the time
they were drinking and talking, an
alteration arose between Albert An
ifson and Snyder the former knock
ing the latter down and pommeling
him with his fists, concluding with
throwing roll Of tar paper upon
Snyder, who was lying on the floor.
Snyder left the granary shortly af-
terwards and went to Cadyville in
company with Anifson.
1t was then alleged that Albert
Anifson and his two companions
drove to Cadyvile, circled the Sny-
der restaurant several times in their
car, while the young man made quite
disturbance, it was stated This
resulted in several fistic encounters
between him and Snyder in one Of
which chair was broken to pieces.
Later another fight ensued in the
house witnessed only by the two An
ifsons and Snyder. The latter alleg-
ed that he was cruelty beaten by
the young man but this the latter
denied.
Snyder is then alleged to have got
ten his rifle and fired one shot in
the direction of the young man. A
second shot was heard shortly af-
terwards behind the Snyder building
and upon investigation Gunder Ami
fson was found shot to death. Be-
fore dying he stated that Snyder
had shot him.
Snyder's defense was that he and
Albert Anifson were wrestling for
the possession of the rifle when it
was accidentally discharged, the bull
let taking effect in the body of the
elder man.
AS all the witnesses had been
drinking considerably on the day of
the shooting, their testimony of
facts was very confused and mud
died. The jury acquitted the defen-
dant, it being the popular verdict
that he was guilty of any intention
al wrong to the elder man.
IN the conclusion of the case
States Attorney Bennett made the
opening argument, being followed by
Dan McCutcheon and John T. Heff-
ron for the defense. The closing
argument was made for the state
by Clay Carpenter of Watertown,
former judge of the Twelfth Cir
cult, who was called in by the coun-
ty to assist in the prosecution.

Even Breaks Less
Frequent than Wins
In Double-Headers

There can be only two opinions
relative to the results of double
headers in baseball: either they re-
suit In even breaks oftener than in
double victories, or they don't. In
qufry among the fans disclosed that
the prevalent opinion Is that when
two games are played in one after
noon tbs result Is usually a victory
for each team. Research proves 1t
wrong, however. The records of a
period Of years show that two victor
les or two defeats result oftener than
even splits.
Just where the erroneous impress
sion originated or what It thrived on
is uncertain, but probably 1t is due
to the fact that an even break usual
" result when a double header is
played between ant-contending
teams which perforce are fairly even
ly matched. These important bat
ties leave a more lasting impression
on the memory than those played
between weaker teams or between
the weak and the strong.
The sum total of double headers
in a season between the first division
teams naturally will not be as great
as the aggregate Of double headers
played between first division and
second division teams plus those
between two outfits of the second
division. In these less important
contests the results. being of less con-
sequence in the pennant race, do not
make an indelible impression on the
fans brain
