$39,O5O GIVEN
IN FARM LOANS

The board of appraisers of the
Boundary County National Farm
Loan Association is making prepara-
tons to do the appraising for the
loans to be made this summer, just
as soon as the snow has melted
sufficiently to enable them to see
the lands. All of the members of
the board are ranchers, and they
intend to complete the work before
their spring work starts.
1t is expected that loans will be
closed more speedily this season than
last year, as the Federal Land Bank
has recently received an appropria-
ton from the government, and the
first rush incidental to organization
of the bank, and establishment of
the various associations, is past.
The local association, during the
past year, has closed twenty-five
loans, and has distributed among the
farmers of Boundary county, $780, 50
In addition to these, there are a few
other oans which have not yet been
closed by reason of defects in title
and other matters requiring time to
settle.
Secretary-treasurer Frank Bottum
of the local association, stated TO-
Gay JnaI, while ne mas number OF
applications on hand to be considered
this spring, he is expecting 4 large
number of others as soon as it be-
comes known that the interest rates
to be charged by the Federal Loar
Bank are expected to be increased
At the present time, the rate is 5lA
per cent. The rate last year was
per- cent, and this applies to all loans
approved last summer even though
they are not yet closed by the Fedora
Land Bank.
All persons contemplating apphca.
tons for loans are urged to submit
their applications at once, as the
work of appraising will probably
start within a few days, and the
applications will be considered in tn,
order in which they are filed. II
case the Federal Land Bank SHOULD
be unable to market its bonds, anC
the Federal appropriation recently
made should be exhausted before al
loans applied for are made, the frs
applications submitted will be thu
ones allowed.

MRS. BANDELIN
ASKS DIVORCE

Asserting that Mrs. Belle Richards
alienated the affections of her hus-
band, Mrs. Mae Bandelin started an
action in district court at Standpoint
last Tuesday against Mrs. Richards
for damages placed at $4,000. At
the same time she commenced a
divorce proceeding against her hus-
band naming Mrs. Richards as CO.
respondent. Summons in the actions
were served upon Mrs. Richards and
Mr.. Bandelin by Sheriff Remer Tues
day evening. Gent & Powell, Spo-
kane attorneys, represent Mrs. Ban
delin in both actions.
In the damage suit Mrs. Bandelin's
complaint alleges that up until early
in 1917 her domestic affairs were
happy, but that in June of last year
her husband began to meet clandes-
timely with Mrs. Richards at the
defendants home and at her hus-
bands la woffice. She asserts that
her husband had told her his meet
ings with Mrs. Richards were as
client and attorney but she had cause
to believe differently.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bandelin were mar
ried in Spokane April 16, 1908. II
the divorce proceeding she asks fol
the custody of the minor children
the apportionment to her by court
decree of her separate property anC

manent alimony.

At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday night the matter of buy
ing the Bonner Water & Light Com
pany system was taken up but no
definite action was taken.
The first thing to be done in con-
nection with the proposed buying of
the Bonner Water & Light system
will be to secure an engineers re-
port upon the worth of the system.
The council instructed Clerk Storm
to write to Green Bros, of Spokane,
to find out if the towns contract
made with the firm last summer in
which it was agreed to make an esti-
mate of the physical value of the
Bonner Water & Light Company
plant for $50, was still valid.

Wright Jumps Bail

Standpoint Review-When the case
of Jack Wright, |. w. w. agitator,
was called in probate court Tuesday
Wright did not appear and the cash
bond he had put up to Probate Judge
Whitaker the week before for his
appearance was declared forfeited.
1t is said that Wright left for Spo-
kane with the assurance that the
Standpoint field would be worked
from there in the future.
The arrest of Wright on the vag-
rancy charge seems to have had a
salutary effect for the present at
least and l. w. w. leaders around
here are not as prominent citizens as
they. were.

DEATH OF WARDLAW SMITH

The news of the death of Wardlaw
Smith, which came last Friday was
source of distressing sorrow to his
many relatives and friends in Able
vile.
Wardlaw Smith was born in Alb
heville about thirty years ago, be-
ing the eldest son of Augustus W.
Smith and his wife, Pinkie Noble
Smith. He lived among US as a
little boy, removing to Spartanburg
with his parents about twenty years
ago.
Since reaching youig manhood
he has been happily married to Miss
Julia Barrow, who with an infant
son survives him.
MIR. Smith has been actively en-
gagged in the mill business since
graduation at the University in 1909,
being associated with his father. He
had a bright and promising career
before him but he gave this up to
enter the service of his country. He
had only been at Camp Zachary
Taylor for a few weeks when he
contracted pneumonia, from which
he died.
His body was brought to Green
vile and funeral services were held
at Grace Episcopal church Sunday
afternoon at four o'clock and the
interment was in the adjoining
cemetery.
Wardlaw Smith was a young man
of charming and affable manner, OF
strict integrity and as he advanced
in years would have taken his place
among men in the affairs of the
world. Cut off in the morning Of
life, a host of friends sympathize
with his father and disconsolate
young wife.

TRAIN PASSES OVER
COLORED PREACHER
Rev. w. F. Rice Happens to What
Might Be Termed peculiar
Accident

He tagged the train; it backed,
passed over his body; he crawled
out.
This is what happened to Rev. W.
F. Rice at Haskell's Station on Fri
day night, the first inst.
The incident as related by the
"star" to this paper is as follows:
The train, No. 1S, from Atlanta,
due to arrive in Abbeville about ten
p. M, was approaching Haskel's and
Rev. Rice, wanting to come to the
city proceeded to flag it-with a
torch. Evidently the train crew did
not see the signal in time to stop at
the station, and ran past some dis
tance. Heretofore when the train
passed the Reverend he would run
to it, to keep the train from having
to back up. But this time they ran
over the little treStle and were back
ing, while Rice was running toward
it on the trestle. Therefore, being
unable to tell the train was moving
until almost upon him. When one
of the crew shouted for him to look
out, his foot slipped and he fell
through the trestle. Before he could
get up the train was passing over
him. After the train stopped the
crew went up to gather the frag-
ments of what was once Rev. Rice,
but upon arriving at the engine
they found him crawling out be-
tween the drive wheels, none the
worse from his experience, other
than the brake-beams playing "tag"
with his back as they would pass
over him. Upon being asked if the
train killed him when it passed over
his body the Rev. said, 81 don't
think So"
