FINED S25 FOR SHAPING
SISTER AFTER ARGUMENT

The antithes!s of affection between
brother and sister was demonstrated
in police court last night when Jack
Palmer was arraigned before Judge
Murray on the charge Of assaulting
his sister Mrs. Pearl Dean.
From, the testimony delivered in
court. Mrs. Dean had como to Casper
from Gregory. S. D.. about n month
ago to visit with Mrs. Palmer, not
realizing that her brother was in Cas-
per. For three weeks she stayed at
the Palmer home. and matters grew
worse between the rival factions. Mr..
and Mrs. Palmer alleged that Mrs.
Dean would do no work about the
house, that she would not discipline
her own children, and that she OBJ.
jected If someone else tried to do so.
It seems that a great deal OF pro.
family had finally been exchanged and
that Palmer ended the quarrel by
slapping his sister. He was fined s25

SCHOOL INDEBTEDNESS.

FIGURES published last
week showing bonded indebt-
edness of school districts are
misleading unless one takes
into consideration the floating
indebtedness. For instance,
the Rathdrum district has only
$1,000 in bonds outstanding.
But it also has from $II, 900
to $4,000 of unpaid warrants,
the amount varying during
the year. Finding some way
to reduce this floating debt,
the interest on which takes
practically one mill of the tax
levy each year, is one of the
most interesting problems
confronting the board.
