Judge Murray Recalls Early
School History
\ :. :. :. ! :. :: !. :. \ ! + !. !.

Judge VIM. Murray, one OF the early
Ward county pioneers, was in rem
iniscent mood the other day and re-
lated some interesting early history
concerning the Minot schools.
The Judge was chairman OF the
school board for years and took a
prominent part in the development OF
our school system in the early days
of Minot. The late w. E. Mansfield,
John O'Neil, VIM. Hartman and Ed
Skies were other members OF the
school board. ~.
Back in the early nineties the Minot
school buildings comprised two one
story frame buildings, one Of which
was remodeled into dwelling house
that is now owned by Rev. VIM. G.
Hunter, who rents it. The other was
moved to North Main street next to
the Second National bank and was
used for several years by J. H. Tomp-
kins for meat market. These two
buildings became too small and a
building on Main Street, now occu-
pied by Mitchell & Bray, the tailors,
was used for some of the pupils.
In 1898, the old Central building,
an eight room brick structure was
built at a cost of 10000. which in
cluded the cost Of the heating plant.
H. T. Won Wagner was the contrac-
tor. Burlington brick was used, and
this building in those days was cred
tied with being North Dakota's finest
school building. People used to drive
in from many miles to see this struc-
ture.
There was much criticism at the
time because the board built such a
large building. A four room school
house was thot large enough for many
years to come. Judge Murray had
faith in the country and later de-
velopments proved that his vision was
clear. The building is still being
used to good advantage.
C. A. johnson, Of this city, was the
first male teacher. He was brot
here from Argyle, MINI. After teach
ing year, he went to the board and
Informed them that if he could get a
contract to teach another year, he in
tended to return to Argyle to marry.
one of Argyle's fairest young women.
Miss Sadie Weber was the county
superintendent at that time. Later
Mr.. Johnson was elected county sup
erintendent. S. A. Danford, a Meth
odist minister was elected superinten-
dent of the Minot schools and later
S. Henry Wolfe was elected super
intendent holding this position for fif-
teen years, until he was called to a
similar position at Hutchinson, Mimi,
where he died. One of the early
teachers in the Minot schools was
Miss Jean McNaughton, brilliant
Scotch educator, who later became
Mrs. Jean McNaughton Stevens, now
a we'll known resident Of Towner, N.

Chas. Lano Appointed Receiver for the
VIM. Black Ranch.

Chas. Lano left for Sanish Monday
where he takes possession Of the Will
liam Black ranch as receiver. pending
the outcome of a suit instituted by
Mr.. Black against his partner, John
Warden. Mr.. Lano was appointed re-
ceiver recently by Judge John G. Lowe
Of the district court.
Four years ago, Mr.. Black took Mr..
Warden into the ranching business
with him, each putting up 100000 in
cash. The first year they made
money but later when prices debated,
they lost heavily. This wiped out ali
the money Warden was worth but lit
is understood that Mr.. Black is able
and willing to carry on the ranching
business.
Warden and his wife and three
children have been occupying the
house on the Black ranch. Mr. Black
employed attorneys MCGEE & Goss
and is making an effort to get his
ten year partnership agreement with
Warden annuled and regain possess
sion of his home.
Testimony was brought out in the
hearing to the effect that Warden had
become so abusive one day in the
and walked thru snow and slush a
mile and half to Sanish.
.Palda & Aaker are representing
Warden in the litigation.
The VIM. Black ranch is one of the
largest and best in western North
Dakota. Mr.. Black has been engaged
in ranching there for more than a
quarter Of century.

BETTER BABIES
Article V

The important things necessary for
a child in the home itself are; fresh
air, sunlight, cleanliness, dryness and
safe sanitation.
Poverty does not justify the parents
Ct children living in crowded tene-
ments, in occupying dark and poorly
ventilated conditions endanger life
and health.
The water supply Of the household
must be safe, and rubbish piles, pools
of stagnant water and other insani.
tary conditions must be removed.
Such surroundings are dangerous to
adults, they are intolerable about the
home of an infant.
Remember that nature piles are the
breeding place of flies and that flies
are definite source Of danger to the
young child.
