Paul Augustus Seiffert, youl Ger
man who was arrested last week in
sites while on his way from the Mar
shall Lake mining district to outside
pcintc, was released from the county
Jail Wednesday morning.
Although Seiffert is an alien enemy,
investigation disclosed that he has
fully complied with the law in respect
to registration, and there was no : ound
on which to longer detain him.
His arrest was brought about on in
formation telephoned here from the
mine where he was employed. He was
alleged to have stolen explosive FROM
the mne, but as no explosive vas found
Oh him IT the time of his arrest, it was
,iecid ID impracticable to .ietaln him on
that charge.

soner in France, and the fourth is still
fighting. Seiffert is man of keen in

that they no longer cared to identify
themselves with the study of German,
and consequently circulated the petit
ton.
1t was pointed out at the meeting OF
the board of education that, inasmucb
as only two months of the school year
remain, it would be well for the pupils
to at least complete the present year IS
course, in order that they would not lose
their credits for the study
The school board commended the
work of the present teaching corps. and
virtually favored reelection Of the teach
ers for the ensuing year, with such
minor changes in the subjects to be
taught by the several teachers, as the
superintendent might suggest.
