COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Plans are being made for, what we
hope will be, the best institute ever
held for the teachers Of Emmons
county. There will no doubt, be over
a hundred teachers in attendance and
we expect every teacher to come with
,ull intentions of getting many things
to take back with them to their re-
spective schools, to make it better
and a place where the boys and girls
will have greater desires for really
wanting to be there. Make every
effort to be on time Monday morning,
and help to make the opening session
larger than any we have had before.
Once more and for the last time, do
not forget the COURSE OF STUDY.
No doubt number Of the teachers
Of the schools Of this county have
played basket ball, but we do not
know just who they are. We hope
to- be able to make arrangements for.
a game to be played by a pickup team
among the teachers against the Lin
ton high school team. If such plans
are carried out, the game will prob
ably be arranged. for the latter part
of the week.
The first school to enroll in the.
Junior American Red Cross for this.
school year is School No. 4, in Cay
ton District. Miss Velma Ford, teacher.
We visited, or rather, intended Wis
iting one Of the schools Of this coun-
ty recently, and found the school
closed because it was a cold day and
there was no fuel Of any kind to use.
Some one was to blame. Every day
lost in this way means. a loss to the,
district for the teacher is not at fault,
and someone must have been respon-
sible for this condition Winter
always comes in North Dakota, and
if the children are kept warm at home
there is more reason for plenty Of
coal at; school SO that they will be
after walking mile or
more, as many do. i.

''Highjackers'' Rob
Omaha Runner. of
$500 Near Foxholm

Minot Independent: Three "high-
jackers" held up two Omaha men, sup
posed to be whiskey runners on the
state-federal road near Foxholm Sun
day afternoon and relieved them of
$4,000. The victims are from Oma-
ha. It is reported that the highway
men made their escape across the Can
adian line. A Cadillac car, believed
to be the one in which the highjackers
were riding was seen passing thru
Carpio at p. m. The highjackers are
said to be from Sioux City and ap-
parently knew just who they were
holding up. The victims did not make
any complaint to the officials. A Fox
holm farmer stated that one of the
highwaymen was placed as a look
out on hill and signalled to his con-
federates when the Omaha car was
approaching. The robbers disabled
the Omaha machine so they could not
be pursued. Minot friends of the
Omaha men went to Foxholm with
supply of gasoline and tubing for the
gas feed system which had been
broken.

COURT KNOCKS
OUT PLAN FOR
PAYING BONUS

Bismarck, N. D., July 12.-The
North Dakota supreme court has
knocked out the plan for prompt pay
ment of soldiers bonus claims for the
present at least by holding that the
law does not permit the sale of the
claims by the state under the con-
| ditions which had been tentively agre-
ed upon.
| Until they have studied the opinion
fully, officials and attorneys for the
financial houses are unable to say
wheather whereby the bonus claims,
the payment of which under the pres
ent law, will not be completed for six
years, may be sold.
The opinion Of the court, delivered
by Justice Bronson, holds that the
discretionary power lodged in the ad-
jutant general to advance the claims
of needy soldiers may not be bargain
ed away in the proposed contract by
which all claims purchased by the
financial houses would be given pri-
ority of payment. The court, affirm
ing Judge Nuessle Of the district court
also held that the industrial commits
sion was without power to enter into
such contract or pledge the credit
of the state
Constitutionality Not Decided
The constitutionality of the law was
not decided, although Justice Robin
son, in special opinion, remarked
that the validity of the soldiers bon
us statute is not clear beyond ques-
tion. Justice Bronson said in his opin-
ion, that the effort to provide for the
sale of bonus claims so that former
soldiers may obtain the money i'm
mediately was to be commended but
that defects Of the soldiers bonus law
were matter for legislative action.
Justice Grace did not participate be-
cause he has son eligible to the state
bonus.
Justice Bronson held the case which
was brought in the name of Harvey
Bauelnfiend of Mandan, was not ana
lagous to the hail warrant case in
that in the hail warrant case there
was specific legislative authority for
the Industrial commission to enter in
to an agreement for the sale of the,
certificates.
The agreement entered into which
was approved by the American Legion
convention at Devils Lake, provided
that financial house should purchase
the certificates at 18 per cent discount
which was on the basis of the full
value less interest at six per cent from
the present time until the average
maturity Of all of the s6,5OO,oO0 war
rants vet to be paid,

FINAL APPEAL IN
BURKE COUNTY ROW
DISMISSED BY COURT

Bismarck, N. D., July 12-The last
chapter in the Burke county commits
sioner's squabble in which Lynn J.
Frazier when governor, removed John
O. Grubb and H. A. Kirkilie, commits
sioners of Burke county, was written
by the supreme court in dismissing
attempted appeals from the order Of
Judge c. w. Buttz of Devils Lake.
Judge Buttz had declared the re-
moval action by Frazier void and he
ordered Grubb and Kirkilie reinstated
in office.
The opinion written by Justice
Grace, said the attempted appeals
were dismissed because they mere

HIRE WATCHMEN.
BANKS WARNED

Following the robbery of Lambs
National Bank Of Michigan, in which
4 man was murdered, w. C. Macfad-
den, secretary of the North Dakota
Bankers association, has urged men,
bers of the organization to see that
night watchmen are put on duty in
all towns where there is no police
protection. Business men are asked
to join in the expense.
That yeggs will not hesitate at
murder has been shown by the Michi-
gan Incident; Mr.. Macfaelden states.
Residents of the smaller towns are re-
quested to fire guns and turn on
lights when hearing noises Indicative
of explosions. This, Mr.. Macfadden
believes, will drive the bandits out of
town.
Banks are instructed to be on the
lookout for man giving the name
of Dave Morris and Who, it is alleged,
is writing bogus checks on the Mer-
chants National bank of Glendive,
Montana. He is 35 years of age,
smooth shaven, and slightly stopped.
He claims to be employed by the
state of North Dakota as veterinari-
an with the tuberculosis society. In
other places he claims to be govern
.ment checker out of work and wants
to paint the bank or do other work
around the bank building. He is be-
,ieved to be seeking information as to
safe and vault equipment.

BANK LOSS is HELD
NO EMBEZZLEMENT

Bismarck, N. D., July 12.-The
supreme court today reversed de-
cision obtained by the First State
bank of Dunn Center against the
Northern Trust company of Fargo
and Charles ]. Hoon, for $4,000.
The supreme court held evidence
did not show that Hoon, cashier of
the bank, was guilty Of embezzle-
ment and therefore the bank could
not recover his bond. Hoon lost
money in a partnership farming
scheme, large loans being made him
by the bank. The directors had full
knowledge Of these loans, declares
the supreme court, and the loans loss
is not embezzlement.
