COUNTY SETTLES
WITH T. G. WARREN

The commissioners of Ward county
effected settlement of the famous E.
G. Warren case thru the latter's at
torneys, Greenleaf, Wooledge & Lesk,
at their meeting this week, Mr.. War
rem getting in settlement $40, the
lowest estimated amount that the
States Attorney figures it would cost
the county to fight the case. The COM
missioners did this on the advice of
the States Attorney.
The county had held back $3,83333
from the salary of E. G. Warren, who
was superintendent of schools of Ward
county for many years. This included
check of nearly $500 which the sup
erintendent had given as refund for
teachers examination fees which he
had collected and to which he was not
entitled, the check not being good.
The county some years ago sued
Warren for $4,000 or $4,000 for
overpayment of mileage. The Judge
took the case away from the jury, the
county took the action to the supreme
court and new trial was ordered.
Warren is now engaged in the in
surance business in Kansas City.

Of the handsome car practically ruin
ing it. This makes the seventh &C.
cident Of a like character it is said
which has occurred within the past six

allowing their horses to stand with
out hitching and the authorities should
take steps to see that the ordinances
are enforced whereby teams are pro-
perly secured either by hitch strap
or by weight.

Friday Last Day to Close Old Trails

Friday Last Day to Close Old Trails
1t may not be generally known, but
Friday, March 8, is the last day Of
grace you will have in closing up old
trails which have been used as pub
lie highway since March 8, 1897. In
the case of Burleigh county VS.. Rhud,
% N. D. 1862 twenty years from the
above date were given in which to
close such roads. This affects all
trails and roads whether opened law
fully or not. The mere fact that the
roads might have been changed slight
ly, yet allowed to extend in the same
general direction, will have no bear
ing on such cases.

1t Is In the path of the monsoon and
in a valley, and there is almost con-

tile average rainfall is Goo inches q

PAYING THE DOCTOR.
Should II Be For Curing You or For
Keeping You Well7

We haven't yet learned 10 take adj
vantage of the resources OF civilization
10 anything like the extent we might.
For instance. We wait until we get
sick. and then we pay the doctor to
help us get we'll II would be much
more sensible to pay him TO help US
keep from getting sick.
Fantastic idea, you say. Not at all.
1t already is working in large mum
Der OF college communities, right here
in the state universities Of Missouri
and Kansas, for instance. In both In
stitutions the pupil is charged fee
which is applied to Safeguarding his
health. In the University OF Missouri
the plan is still further developed so
That the fee covers medical and sur
gical attendance. The health work In
both schools is so interesting, not only
for what II is doing for the pupils, but
for the example ii is setting other com
munities, that 1t is only right and
proper to call attention TO it.
The important point is that these uni
versities and other schools are proving
that health can be made much more Of
community matter than had been
supposed and that the wise thing to do
is for groups to pay medical men to
keep them well.-Kansas City Star.
