Governor Nestos has notified }. y.
Cahill that his office as member OF
the board of administration is now
vacant. due to his failure to file an
oath of office since last July. This
action removes one more incompe-
tent from office and is an economical
course to pursue. While this action
by the governor will no doubt draw
the fire of the opposition as being
based on a mere technicality and TAX
en- merely for political purposes we
are unable to see it in that light.
Mr.. Cahill had been requested to re-
sign his position on the board owing
to Irregularities in the conduct OF
the office. He had refused to pre-
sent his resignation and the COVER
nor had two courses to follow, to re-
move him through expensive court
action in custer proceedings, the eX-
pense of which would have been
borne by the taxpayers, or to re-
move him through some legal act OF
omission. The latter was the cheap
er way and just as effective. With
the resignation of Totten the indie
pendents had gained control of the
board. The opposition have claimed
that this was done, not on any legal
grounds, but merely to gain control
of the board, and they demanded
that the governor show his good
faith in the matter by the continu'
ance of custer proceedings if control
was not the end sought. Their de-
mands have been met. Muir is next

Friend Cahill turns around and at

still in office after the governor has

papers are attempting to show that
under the Hanna administration
many office holders failed to file
their oath of office. The Hanna ad-
ministration has been out of power
six wears and also the fellows who
held office under that administration,
and the present case has no bearing
on the case. If the Hanna admins

We all extend our heartfelt sympa-

The bank fixtures have arrived

John Gilberg of Bemidji is doing the

trail7 Ladd was slow, heavy, stag
gering on the trail: but he was re-
lentless. Only death could stop the
ranger now. Surely Rojas must have
known that when he chose the trail.
From time to time Gale caught
glimpses Of Yaquis dark figure steal
ing along the higher rim of the crater.
He was making for q point above the
bandit. zss$s.1i:sF-
Ladd staggered along the trail; at
times he crawled. The Yaqui gained !;
he might have had wings; he leaped
from jagged crust to Jagged crust; his
sure-footedness was wonderful thing.
But for Gale the marvel Of that
endless period of watching was the
purpose of the bandit Rojas. He had
now no weapon. Gales glass made
this fact plain. There was death be-
hind him, death below him, death be-
fore him, and though he could not
have known it, death above him. He
never faltered-neve made misstep
upon the narrow, f1inty trail. When he
reached the lower end of the level
ledge Gales poignant doubt became
a certainty. Rojas had seen Mercedes
1t was sfrcretfible, yet Gale believed it.
Then, his heart >clamped as in an icy
wise, Gale threw forward the Reming-
ton, and sinking on one knee, began
to shoot. He emptied the magazine.
Puffs of dust near Rojas did not even
make him turn.

responding percentages for the en-
tire population of the United States
were 21.7, 2O.7, and 57.6, respecti-
vely. Thus the farm population in
cludes a relatively large proportion
of persons under the age of FL and
relatively small proportion of per-
sons FL years of age and over. This
difference in age distribution is due
in large part to the fact that the
majority of persons who leave the
farm to take up their residence else
where have reached or passed the
age Of FL. Moreover, the foreign
born population, which is found main
ly in the cities, consists in large
part of persons past the age Of FL.

letters which have already been re-
ceived are extremely interesting, es-
! pecially since they are written by
Students who perhaps have never
been outside the city limits of the
City of New York and hence they
have tendency to believe that New

Not:all, however, are of the opin-
ion TINT New York is the only place
Of Importance in the world. One
girl in particular has longing for
the "west" and the country. Part
Of her letter reads: "Our teacher

dicate that the writers are. mostly of
Italian or Jewish descent AS a
matter Of fact, the majority of the
students of this large high school
belong to either one or the other OF

The "little town of Bemidji' is

the students of this magnificent

as soon as the above letters have

Northern Minnesota high school,
telling about the many advantages

as never can be equalled by even

did some work on the road from

Considerable work has been done
on the sanitorium grounds through
out the summer. Stumps have been
blasted, underbrush cleared away,
and a number of flower beds were
laid out under the direction of Mrs.
R. L. Laney.
Miss -. Airline Krugmeier, head
nurse of the sanitoriunl, returned
Friday night after a successful days

Buena Vista. They obtained fine
two-ycar-old buck.

A party was given to the patients

Armistice Day.. Games were play

The small son Of R. j. Workman,
of Puposky, was brought to the sani-

broken when he fell out of tree.
The accident occurred one and one

Ing partly to consciousness. engaged
Gales care. The cavalryman, stirred
and moaned, called for water, and
then for Mercedes. Gale held him
back with strong hand. and present
ly he was once more quiet.
Suddenly harsh, prolonged yells
brought Gale to his feet. Far down
the trails where the crater rims closed
in the deep fissure he saw moving
forms. They were three in number.
Two of them ran nimbly across the
lava bridge. The third staggered far
behind. 1t was Ladd. He appeared
hard hit. He dragged at the heavy
rifle, which he seemed unable to raise.
The yells came from him. He was
calling the Yaqui.
Gales heart stood still momentar-
fly. Here, then, was the catastrophe
He hardly dared sweep that fissure
with his glass. The two fleeing fls-
ures halted-turned to fire at Ladd.
Gale recognized the foremost one
small, compact, gaudy-Rojas! The
bandits arm was outstretched. Puffs
of white smoke rose, and shots raped
out. When Ladd went down ROjas
threw his gun aside and with wild
yell bounded over the lava. His COM
panion followed. J.
"A tide Of passion, first hot as fire,
then cold as ice, rushed over Gale
when he saw Rojas take the trail to-
ward Mercedes hiding-place. The
little bandit appeared to have the
sure-footedness Of a mou lta:n sheep.
The Mexican following was not so
sure or fast. He turned back. Gale
heard the trenchant bark. of the .4O5.
Ladd was kneeling. He shot again
again. The retreating bandit seemed
to run full into an invisible obstacle,
then fell lax, inert, lifeless. Rojas
sped on unmindful of the spurts of
dust about him. Yaqui, high above
Ladd, was also firing at the bandit.
: Then both rifles were emptied. Rojas
turned at a high break in the trail.
He shook defiant hand, and his 'ex.

it Yaqui came bounding down the
slope, and in one splendid leap he
cleared the fissure. He. ran beyond
the trail and disappeared on the lava
above. Rojas had not seen this sud-
den, darting move of the Indian.
Gale wondered, fearfully, what had
become Of Lash. Presently, when
Roias came out Of the cracks and
ruts Of lava there might be a chance
of disabling him by q long shot. His
progress was now slow. But he was
making strais...t for Mercedes hiding

There seemed lull in the battle.

three-quarter circle Of lava with his
glass. In the distance he saw horses,
but no riders. Below him, down the
