Because someone cut the ropes on
the flag poles, the flag could not be
raised over the federal building or the
court house on Memorial Day. 1t is
believed the man who painted the
flag pole at the court house cut the
rope there. A man asked w. o.
Rigby, postmaster, if he might paint
the flag pole on the federal building,
and when told it would be necessary
to first get a requisition from Wash
required to climb the pole if the rope
were cut. He disappeared and a short
time later the rope was found cut. The
man has not been seen since. A charge
of destroying government property
will be placed against him if he is
caught, Rigby said
