DR.. STORKAN RETURNS
LAWRENCE BLOOR

DR.. J. C. Storkan, who left here
some three weeks ago with Lawrence
Bloor for Rochester, Mimi, returned
last Monday with the young man. It
seemed that Mr. Bloor had fallen off
from a hay rack and had seriously
hurt his back and after being brought
to the hospital here it was thought
best to take him to Rochester, where
the famous specialists in that city
could give him the most careful at
tention. Upon careful examination
it was found that the young lad had
two wertebraes broken in his back. He
was placed in a caste and after three
weeks he was able to come home, be-
ing at all times under the care of DR..
Storkan. They arrived in this city
Monday and DR.. StOrkan accompanied
the lad to his home so miles northeast
of here and received the thanks of the
father and mother for his careful and
skillful attention to their son.

SOR SENDS IN RESIGNATION.

Prof Fred M. Sheehan sent in his
resignation last Monday to the Red
stone school board and quit the job
cold last Wednesday along with Miss
Rose Mary Bollinger, one of the teach
ers in the Redstone school,
It seems. that Mr.. Sheehan and Miss
Bollinger were offered a certain sal
ary as teachers at the Redstone school
but when their warrants came, they
found that after they were discounted
they were considerably short of what
they had been promised and Mr.. Shee
han and Miss Bollinger claim that
they have tried to set the Board to
adjust this difference so that they
might have clear he salary at which
they were hired. Apparently they
could not get any satisfaction from
the Board, so they did what they had
promised to do if an adjustment was
not made-that was, quit.

middle of this week TO see the County

In the meantime the Redstone

nicely started in their school work.
Messrs. Bucklin and Loucks of the

seems that drunken man who had
came to town Tuesday had got filled
with moon in Plentywood and had
smashed the big plate glass in the
front of the Union Hotel and in 9TH
er ways had made his presence un-
desirable.
Mr.. Klovstad Immediately located
the "stewed" stranger who had wan
dered off on his way for further de-
probation, and took him to the city
Jail. But the gentleman, who was in
a very bad way, seemed bent on in
iuring himself by throwing his head
recklessly against the steel bears, so
Klovstad took him down to the coun-
ty bastile, where he sobered up.
On Wednesday morning, the man
who gave his name as Gilbert Warga,
appeared before Judge Olson, police
magistrate, and received fine of $25,
which he paid and he also reimbursed
Mr.. Ronning for the window which
he had broken in the Union Hotel.
The stranger has been working in
the country near here for several
months and had just finished his
work. He claims his home is at Big
Sandy, this state and after his re-
lease left for that place Wednesday
afternoon minus about S10O which he
left in Plentywood between the boot
leggers and those damaged by the ef-
fects of the hooch on his system.
