Mandan School Not
So Bad As Painted,
Is Commission Report

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 24.-The
Mandan training school for boys is
not as bad as has been painted, in
the opinion of the members of the
house of Representatives investigat-
cation committee which visited the
institution yesterday. The committee,
composed of Representatives Olsen
of Billings, Kopp and Burkhardt will
make q formal report to the house of
their Investigation.
Many changes will be recommend
ed by the committee, however. The
report of the Independent members
OF the committee may include a ran
at the board of administration which,
according to one member. has not al
lowed the expenditure of funds avail
able to better conditions at the
school.
Sanitary conditions could be i'm.
proved but are not intolerable, the
committee holds. There are no con
tagious diseases among the boys, ac-
cording to the physicians report,
There are boys Of various ages thrown
together, which ought to be separated,
however, according to the ~invest:ga-
tors. Boys as young as seven years
are thrown with boys 16 years Of age,
they said.
Entire separation Of the boys and
girls in the institution will be urged
by the committee in its formal re.
port. This may take the form of a
recommendation for the establish.
ment of a girls school.

Brant came with the big rush Of

lived on the same spot. The gulch
in its gala day yielded more gold
than any other spot of like Size

Brant, however, never lost

lived by the gulch and prospected
for gold. The "mother vein''
which he spent his life trying to
find has not been found. The old
man was buried near the site of
his log home, amidst the dreary
