GOOD ROAD WORK TO
Be STARTED AT ONCE

According to Engineer Ross III
charge of the road work in BlelVIlle
parish for the State Highway Depart
ment construction work on the Ulps-
land-Bryceland highway will be start
ed next week. This contract, when
calls for a hard surfaced highway. ana
the Jamestown-Bienville road, when IS
to be graded road was, awarded to
W. H. Smith, Jr, Inc Work on the
Jamestown-Bienville project will be-
gin about Monday, January -.
Mr.. Ross states that the survey on
the north and south highway, known
as the Arcadia-Saline highway, has
been completed to Bienville, and that
it is more than probable that the con-
tract for building will be let by the
highway commission within the next
40 days. This however, is a matter
which is in the hands Of the recently
appointed State Highway Commission
and there may be some delay to re-
organization, etc, of the commission.
Most of the east and west highway,
better known as the Dixie-Overland
Highway has been graded from Web
ster to Lincoln parish lines, and is
ready for gravel as soon as the grades
have had time to settle. The portion
east of Arcadia to the Lincoln parish
line is yet to be graded.

standing the fact that at this time last
year they had around $95,OOO.W of
tax money on hand, and at present
there is less than $1,0OOOO in this &C.

The request made in the Uooye note
was promptly complied with, and can
assure the klanSmcn that their @lft
was more than gratefully received. and
Mr.. White again and again expressed
his sincere appreciation.
We have noted the activity of the
Ku KluX Khan in neighborinS towns
and cities. but so far as We have been
able to learn this is the first evidence
that a khan really existed in Arcadia
and REGARDLESS of what else the organ
ization may do their first Official act
was indeed a worthy one.
Since receiving the above note and
wishing 20 make sonlr comment on this
organization. we recall some OF the ac-
tivitieS of the body, and find that they
have frequently made donations OF a
similar nature and contributed to many
other worthy causes. They have cauS,
ed quite a little press comment, tav'
orable and uDfayorable. 1t seems that
some time ago a big investigation in
Washington never terminated, or if il
did terminate, nothing was found that
would Justify our higher courts in sup
pressing the khan, and the organization
seems to be going ahead doing its WORK
quietly, secretly and effectively.
Just few days ago we read that II
Monroe a number Of men CARRIED ii
white robes escorted some law violatOrs
from the Ouachita capitol to the
Arkansas boundary and very impress
lively requested that they, the law vic
lators, stay away from Monroe. and 81
it is that the khan is apparently work
ing for the best interest Of the com
munity wherein they exist.

BRISSMAN CASE
Justice Thistlethwaite Resigns
Following Decision In
District Court
CASE MAY BE APPEALED

Proceedings in the cases instituted
against H. G. Brissman, of Bishop,
Brissman and company, were ended in
district court today when Judge w. L..
Nuessle issued permanent injunc-
tion directed against Justice of the
Peace r. H. ThistlethWaite.
The injunction forbids further ac-
ton by the justice in the three cases
instituted by Joseph Coghlan, charg-
ing Brissman with violating the state
law in signing aNreport Of the audit
of the Bishop, Brissman and COM
pany of the Bank Of North Dakota,
and two charges Of violating the
false advertising law by representing
himself as certified public account
ant under the laws of the state.
The defense has contended Mr..
Brissman is a certified accountant in
Minnesota and that his firm has a
Fargo, Office and that the resident
manager and member Of the firm, J..
A. Gull, is a member of the North Da-
,kota state board of f#aeeountancy.
Judge Nuassle, in issuing the in
junction, referred to- cases here in the
past in which he said Justice may
have been imposed upon and persons
unjustly dragged into court, and re-
ferred to the possibility of spite"
cases being filed if there were no re-
strictions upon filing matters without
approval Of the states attorney.
The defendant was represented by
O'Hare and Cox while Theodore Kof-
fel appeared for Thistlethwaite with
Joseph Coghlan.
1t was said that the case would be
appealed to the supreme court.
Following disposition of the case,
Justice Thistlethwaite went to the
",ounty auditors office and filed his
resignation. The Brissman cases
were his first and last.
