Even school boards sometimes get
into tangled wrangle. This one
comes from joint district number 8,
towns of Franklin and Bear Greek.
Mrs. Winnifred B. Dederich was
elected treasurer in the district and
when she filed her bond her name was
accidentally omitted, the paper being
properly signed by the two sureties
however. Miss Winnie Seal
lon was elected clerk and Joseph
Mousseau the director. After he was
elected he wrote the other members
they say, that they might elect another
woman to fill his place, This he af
terward said was not the case Al
first he refused to take an active part
The school meeting had been held
early in July, Mrs, Dedrich receiving
IA votes and w. A. Dwyer 2 votes.
Later it was found about the time
it was necessary to borrow 5000 fol
school purposes, that there was ar
error in the bond of Mrs. Dederich be
cause her name did not appear in the
proper place. Mr.. Mousseau had some
conversation with the town clerk ant
on his advice, it is stated, the board
decided to make Mr. Dwyer the new
treasurer. This brought the matter
to climax and into court to deter
mine who the treasurer of the boarC
really was.
Judge O'Neill decided that Mrs. De
derich was the treasurer after the wit
nesses had been heard. A stay o
sixty days was granted as to the costs
