BULL TRAGEDIES THAT
GOULD BE AVOIDED

Practically every community has
a record of a bull tragedy. Usually
the story is Of the bull that was
considered SAFE who turned ON
his keeper and either killed him or
broke his bones These accidents
are SO common that it is remark
able how men still persist in. TAX
ing chances with a bull more than
a year old.
There is another kind of a bull
tragedy where the tables are re-
versed and the bul1 is sold to the
butcher for bologna before his val
he is known. A record Of such a
tragedy has just been received from
the coast In California they had
a dairy COW competition and one Of
the leading prizes was awarded to
the five cows with the highest pro-
duction of butterfat--all sired by
the same bull. The prize was won
by eight grade cows whose average
production was sos pounds of but
'spIooeI essqL .sAep O0c uI lBJI9l
Of course, proclaimed the sire to be
valuable bull, but alas! The own
er had sold him to the butcher.
These tragedies are all to COM
mon and they emphasize the import
ance of keeping records on our cows
so that we will know their value as
producers, and also the desirability
of keeping the tried bulls in service
either through bull associations or
the buyers prefering old bulls to
untried yearlings.

BANK BANDITS
FOILED AT MAX

Minot, N. D., June 8.-A bold at
tempt to loot the vault of the First
National bank of Max was frustrat-
ed late last night when Max citizens
returning home late, discovered
someone tampering with the vault
door. They fed when the yeggs
ordered them to hold up their hands
and fred three shots at them.
The yeggs made their escape
without getting any loot. Examina-
tion showed they had apparently
tried to burn their way into the
vault with an acetylene torch, which
fused the lock and made it stick.
The work is believed that of
novices, as professionals would have
used quicker methods. The men
cut incoming telegraph and tele-
phone wires, and an alarm could
not be sent out until this morning.
The auto in which the bandits ar
rived and left, and which contained
three men, is said to have been seen
two or three times near Max yes
terday.

BOWBELLS SCHOOL DIST.
I'M MANOAMUs CASE

1t A writ Of mandamus was issued
on Wednesday of last week by
Judge John G. Lowe of Minot to
Bowbells Special Scnoor District No.
IA, and the board of education
thereon consisting of j. P. Neve, N.
L. Simonson, j. G. Johnson, men,
bers thereof, and A. C. Anderson,
treasurer of said district, and Harry
E. Polk as clerk of said board of
education, to appear before the
court at the district court chambers
at Minot at two O'Clock p. m. on
Monday, June 12th, to show cause
why Bwbells Special School District
No. / 4 should not pay Ira l.. Rush,
an architect of Mfnot, $1050 for
services alleged to have been per-
formed last July for this school dis
trict
The case originated almost a
year ago when the taxpayers of the
Bowbells district voted to bond the
district in the sum of $4,000 to
build an addition to the local
school building The board of ed
tlcation at that time entered into
verbal agreement with /. l.. Rush
of MinOt to have him draw up plans
and specifications for thes proposed
addition to the school building, but
no contract was ever issued, some
Of the members of the board refus-
ing to sign the contract. Mr.. Rush
alleges in his petition for mandamus
that the board employed him to do
the said architectural work and
that he drew up the plans and spe-
cifications and was to receive as
compensation for his services $1050.
That the board of education passed
resolution authorizing warrant
to be issued to him for $500 in part
payment of his services, but that
the warrant was never turned over
to him.
One of the members of the board
told us that the reason this was
not paid was that the board learned
upon advice from the state board
of education that the only funds
that could be used to pay for ar
chitectural work in case of this
kind would be out of a building
fund, and as the local school had
no building fund at that time, and
has none now, the bill could not be
paid. The bonds voted on to build
the proposed addition the school
were never sold and the addition
was not built
McGee & Goss are handling the
case for. Rush, and the school dis
trict has emplyed Fisk, Murphy and
Nash to look after It's interests.
This case will be watched with con-
siderable interest by the people of
BowbelIs and vicinity.

Five Commissioners
In Burke County

Z Burke county this week has two
boards of county commissioners; the
regularly appointed board and the
two former mmissioners, Grubb
and Kirkelie, who were ousted from
Office last August. Although the
case was decided in their favor by
Judge Buttz Of Ramsey county, it
has been appealed and they have no
authority as commissioners. Marks,
Dewing and Hauge have been in
session all week, and on Tuesday
morning of this week Kirkelie and
Grubb appeared at the court house
accompanied by a few Of their poll
tical bosses and dictators, and start
ed session of their own. AS
County Auditor G. J. KOpriva
Guild serve only one board at time
he ignored the usurpers and cOntin-
ued to do business with Marks, Dew
ing and Hauge. Grubb and Kirke-
lie then secured the services Of Miss
Stokes, the stenographer at the
states attorneys Office to take down
their proceedings. After holding a
short session Grubb happened to re-
member that school election was

they adjourned until the next day.
When asked to put the proceedings
OF the ousted board on the records
Kopriva refused. and when Kirkelie
insisted Kopriva herded the whole
bunch out Of his Office like a flock
of sheep. The next day they ap-
peared again with their clerk and
held another short session, both
boards using the auditors Office
Grubb and Kirkelie adjourned on
Wednesday afternoon until Monday
OF next week, while the other fel-
lows will continue in session. The
decision OF the supreme court in tlle
Lawrence Larsen case will have the
same effect on the Ousted commits,
sioners as on Larsen. as the charges
against them all are practically ths
same.

YORK HERALD reporter by r. c. Schisf-
macher. lawyer of 10 William street,
who. as grand counsel for the Sigma
lambda Nu fraternity. upset the decision
OF Principal Vosburgh Of Jamaica High
school debarring Jack Eldert from the
school rifle team because he was
member OF that fraternity. He laid
stress on "the right of the individual to
select his own associates" and on what
he termed the futility of attempting to
change human nature by statute. Like
other advocates of fraternities. he ad-
mitted that they had not always lived
up to their ideals.
But" he said, they are asking us to
go out of business just because few
youngmen have made mistakes. The
offenses charged against fraternities are
really committed by boys who would do
that kind of thing anyway. Before the
Board of Education tried to suppress the
societies they met openly in schoolrooms
and the members were all students.
Now they meet outside and about one
half the members come from outside the
schools Fraternlties are not very ex-
pensive. The highest initiation fee l
have heard of is SO. and in most cases
it is considerably less. The dues run as
low as 10 cents week. Our fraternity
is Incorporated, and the purpose. as
stated in the articles, is ito promote
fraternal feeling and provide meeting
places for members" Anything vicious
about that? In most of the chapters the
alumni attend the meetings. They teach

Defends Secret Societies.

Eight years ago when the Board Of

bylaw Omega Gamma Delta resolved
itself into what Is called "open clubs"
But according to Mr.. Hendricks the
Education Board did not enforce its own
rules, and Omega Gamma Delta, after
two years of "openness." and after see
ing other Greek letter bands going along
in the old way. did so too. But this
way Mr.. Hendricks warmly defended in
