Mothered Socialist Meet.

The charges against Mrs. E. B.
Totten, postmistress at Bowman and
wife of the county Judge, grow out
of a socialist meeting recently held
in Bowman, at which Kate OHaire
was the principal speaker, and when
some very unpatriotic remarks are
said to have been made. Mrs. Totten
is said to have been active in max
ing arrangements for this meeting
and to have occupied the platform
with the socialist lecturer.
e. B. Totten, husband of the post
mistress, is a brother of George e.
Totten, who at various times has been
preacher, newspaper publisher, abb

been practically a total failure, for the
reason that the institution has no sat

ton has a right in. The board has
under contemplation the sinking OF a

be, in u judgment, capable Of pro.

reduce the maintenance expense OF

Of developing a sufficient water sup

To make this asylum modern and up

quire an expenditure of many thou
