No Defendants Appear to Con-
test Divorce Cases on Thurs
days Calendar.

Two husbands and two wives whose
dreams of matrimonial bliss were shat
tered by realities were granted decrees
of divorce Thursday in district court.
One woman was given a decree on
grounds of non-support, one husband
and one wife were freed of their mar
ital obligations on grounds of desertion,
and another husband won his plea on
complaint that his wife had treated him
cruelty.
John +. Hagenson, who married Ada
i. Hagenson in Great Falls, April 10,
1909, said his wife had caused him
great mental anguish because she had
repeatedly stated to him that she no
longer had any. love or affection for
him. His wife further Inundated him
by making disparaging remarks in COM
pairing him with other men. For some
time prior to November 1S, of this year,
his wife refused to engage in friend
" conversation with him, he testified.
Within one week after they were
married Frank st. Claire deserted Syl-
via B. st. Claire, according to her COM
plant for divorce. They were married
in Great Falls on July II, 1916, and on

Crude Manipulation of Currency
Quits Town Before He
Is Caught.

Several weeks ago yonng and nifty
gentleman, who might have lacked fin
ances if he hadn't been supplied with
one dollar bills, dropped into Great
Falls for q short stay. Before he left
three Great Falls merchants were short
So each. With skillful hand and a
pen and ink. he succeeded in altering
three one dollar bills until they had the
appearance of a "ten spot" The dap
per young fellow then went ON to 9th

Secret Service Men on Trail
Chief Of Police Marcus Anderson
said Thursday that the man had made
found that his trail had grown warm
to pursuing officers. Within a few
days after the fellow had appeared in
Great Falls and commenced his oper-
ations, an officer of the government
secret service came to the city, but by
that time the bird had flown. The
secret service man stayed only for a
day and then went to Butte, where it
was heard that raised checks had ap-
peared in several places.
The police say that Great Falls Is
rarely visited by criminals who need
only an eraser, pen and ink, and often
a little glue with which to ply their
trade. The last man who worked in
Great Falls was arrested in Helena and
was given two years in federal prison.
The recent visitor did not do what the
police call clever job of raising bills,
but he was very careful to present them
at times when his victims were too busy
to scrutinize the paper.
Description Obtained
One of the fake bills was given to
Great Falls fruit store, another was
accepted by department store and it
was not until this week that another sof
the bills was discovered in one of the
banks. A fairly accurate description of
the man that defrauded the fruit store
proprietor was obtained by the police.

Interesting Statistics
 On School Attendance

The Alaska School Bulletin gives the following records of at tendance and punctuality for the first month of school made by the schools of the incorporated towns of Alaska. Among the five schools having the best records Wrangell High School stands fourth with an attendance of 99.91 per cent and our elementary school stands first with an attendance of 99. 2S per cent. WrangelI ranks sixth in enrolment both in the elemen- tary and high school. Last year we were seventh in size.
 The cost of maintaining the schools of Alaska last year was S373. .192.02. This represents an expenditure of $2, 10S. 42 per day. The total enrolment was 3,479. It the cost per day is divided by the enrolment we have an expen- diture of S.61 per child per day. Each day a child is absent this amount of money is wasted.
 Viewed even from a financial standpoint, then, regularity in at tendance is an important matter. The total loss from irregular at tendance in Alaskan schools last winter amounted to $10, 0,021.26. In the Wrangell school there were 391 days of absence, mean ing a financial loss of $223. 35.

over the way county commissioners
have been slaughtering the Beckett

but few who do not already see that

This was what the Republicans of
