DIED

at his home in Denver on Sunday,
Nov. goth, George A. Wood, known to
the old settlers of Ebert county as
Dell Wood. He was at one time owner
of what is now the Rinnert ranch.
near Kiowa. AT that time he was also
county treasurer. 1t was while he
was in office that misfortune over took
him. He was found short in his ac-
counts which cost him the loss of his
fine ranch, cattle horses and all that
he possessed. Mr.. Wood was not ar
rested, as it was well known among
the authorities and public in general
that he was a perfect honest man. It
was his great generosity and many
friends who borrowed money that
led to his downfall. In those days the
treasurer had right to loan out
county money. there being no banks
in the county at that time.
He was the father of Edward, Rus
sell Ray. Louis. Ralph. Earl Roy, Har
ry and Ruben Wood, Mrs. Ed Mott
Mrs. Anna Fahrion, Mrs. Carrie Weiss
and Mrs. Mae Williams.
Services were held from the Olinge-
Chapel Wednesday at 1 p. m. Inter

At a meeting of the business men
of Ebert, it was decided to circulate
a petition in regard to building a
town hall. This is one thing the town
needs more than any thing else. The
cost of putting up first class building
60xSO with stage and furnace, Will
be about $4,000. The prospects for
raising money for this purpose are
good. The idea is to form an incor
porated association and issue the stockd
at $500 per share. All stock will be
bought back in course o. time as the
building earns the money for this
purpose.

ODE TO OUR LATIN
Contributed by Ebert
High Cchool Pupil-)

MY Latin. it's of thee
Quick death or insanity;
OF thee | sing.
Oft do thy sheet at night
Tell me with awful fright.
| hope that soon | might
Get rid of thee.
Your pages are much torn
Your cover is much worn
You still give me the chills
Ague and kindred ills
A lesson from you fills
Me with despair.

The board called upon the officers

OF each road to select representatives
TO confer and to decide as much Of

Such conferences shall begin at the
earliest possible date" the decision
said
While the decision did not specifical-

that all disputes as to rules and work
Ing conditions automatically were re
ferred back to individual conferences
between each individual road and its
employees. This method of procedure
had been sought by railroads, where
as the labor side favored a national
conference between representatives OF
all roads and all unions.
The decision affected all railroad
employees except those on train serv.
ice who are under separate acree-
ments betT cen individual railroads
and the four big brotherhOods
In connection with the conference
negotiations. the board laid down
set of sixteen principles which are
to serve as a foundation for any rules
which may be agreed to in the confer
encc. The present general rules hear
ing before the labor board. which has
been in progress since January 10
will continue until both sides have
completed their testimony, following
which the board will promulgate such

The fight over a division OF the scv-

plum Another is the declaration from
Governor Parker that there was a tacit
agreement with those who are paying
the severance tax that il would not be
increased Still another is the pro-
test Of the interests affected that a

faith And still another is the atu-

sources belong to the entire state, and
II there is to be a division Of the sew

to pass the taxation buck to the par

they claim, the leaseholders are the

Therefore, they want the leases taxed

They claim the severance tax load
