FRANK STAY, OLD
INDIAN FIGHTER,
DEAD AT MONTE
WAS ONE OF RENVILLE RANG
ERS; FOUGHT IN UPRISING OF
1862; EIGHTY-NINE YEARS OF
AGE.

Funeral services were conducted at
Montevideo Monday of last week for
Frank Stay, early hunter, river pilot
survivor of the Sioux outbreak of
1862, and an old member of the
Knights of Columbus in Minnesota.
Stay, a French Canadian, whose
real name was Francois Jetta, died
at the age of 80, from complications
following broken hip sustained in a
fall month ago. He was born in
Quebec.
One of the few survivors of the Rem
vile rangers, Stay fought the Indians
in the Minnesota river valley in 1862
as member of General Sibley's band.
AS a trooper, he met his wife at
Friendly camp, now Camp Release
near Montevideo, when she was freed
by Sibley's men after being kept pris-
oner. Stay fought in the battles OF
Fort Ridgely, Wood Lake and Birch
Cooley.
The friendship of a Sioux Indian
probably saved Stays life during the
1862 outbreak. While he sat in his
cabin one morning early in the out
break, Red Dog, young redskin, en-
tered and warned him to leave. Swim
ming the Minnesota river, Stay went
to Cottonwood lake, taking refuge in
it's waters beneath anoverhangine
tree. Several hours later the Indians
watching for his exit, left, thinking
him drowned.
Stay is survived by his wife and
eight children.
Mrs. Stay, daughter of Jos. Camp.
bell, was interpreter for the delega-
ton of Sioux Indians, who were in
Washington, D. c., to dispose of their
lands north of the Minnesota river
She was born in st. Paul in 1848, and
was employed by Jos. Brown for five
years prior to 1862.

Court, However, Allows Two
Allegations in S. H. S.
Complaint to Stand.
CHARGE ILLEGAL ACTION
Restraining Order Remains
in Effect.

The Indianapolis school board won
a partial victory over Shortndge
site protesters today when Judge
Sidney S. Miller, Superior Court
Three. overruied all but two Of fou.
teen sections in a complaint OF the
Indianapolis Public School Welfare
Association asking an injunction 20
stop the board from building the
new Shortn ige on Forty.Sixth st.
instead of the site now owned at
Thirty.Fourth and Meridian SITS.
Judge Miller's ruling was to the
effect that there is nothing TO stop
the board from changing the site
Of the building il steps are taken
legally.
1.-THE question Of relocation is en-
tirely discretionary with the new
board if it follows the law and takes
the proper steps," he stated. II see
no reason why it cannot purchase a
new and different site"
One Of the sections left IN the
complaint alleged that the board IL.
legally passed a resolution for pur-
chase Of the Forty.Sixth Sc. site. The
complaint charged the resolution
was passed at the meeting OF It's
introduction instead of being tabled
until the next meeting.
Association Satisfied
The section also said the board
Illegally advertised sale Of the Thirty.
Fourth st. site.
The other section alleged that
sale Of the old Shortridge site at
Pennsylvania and Michigan SITS, was
conducted Illegally because adver.
tisements were not inserted properly
for its sale and for the purchase Of
he Thirty-Fourth ST. site, which
the board now Is seeking to sell.
Judge Miner's resolution was in
terpreted TO mean that all II would
be necessary for the board to do TO
change the site would be to retrace
its steps in a legal manner.
However, attorneys for the school
association said they were satisfied
with the judges ruling. 1t will be
possible for the judge 10 restrain
the board from proceeding with its
plans under the present resolutions
for purchase Of the new site and
sale of the old, they said.
Order in Effect
The temporary restraining order
prohibiting the board from selling
the Thirty.Fourth ST. site and
purchasing the Forty-Sixth st. one
will remain in effect until the final
hearing on the injunction petition,
Judge Miller stated in overruling a
motion TO dissolve the order.
Judge Miler's ruling was on three
motions OF Martin M. Hugg. school
board attorney. to strike out parts
OF the complaint.
Arguments on the three motions
were presented last Wednesday by
Hugg for the school board and VIII.
liam Bosom and Merle N A. Walker
for the school association.
The petition was signed by c.. A.

A motion to make the complaint
more specific was overruled.
Hugg, the school board attorney,
has until next Tuesday TO file

ruling. II Is expected that a hear
ing date on the injunction petition
will be set then.

LEO X. FESLER
SCORES COUNTY
TAX INCREASES
Former Auditor in Race for
G. o. P. Nomination
Again.

County expenses have been in
creased unwarrantedly in the last
two years, Leo K. Fesler charged
today in announcing he is can
didate for Republican nomination
for county auditor.
Fesler was auditor from 1919
through 1928.
"I believe Marion County citizen
demand that waste and extravaganza
in that office be done away with"
said Fesler.
1.-The payroll appropriations for
salaries this year are $42,66O. The
cost for 1923, the last year Of my
crease of s22,380, or over 115 per
cent. The total expense Of the
auditors office in 1928 was $32 Ill.
The appropriations so far this year
are s64,S40. That is total increase
of $32,729; over 100 per cent. The
cost last year was over $1,000"
More for JanitOrs
Citing increased county expenses
Fesler declared that:
In 1928 courthouse janitor hire and
upkeep cost $15,302, against $4,000
appropriated for this year
The tax rate has gone up each
year during the present auditors
term being IL cents higher than
the 21-cent levy Of 1928.
AT the end Of Fesler's term net
balance of $520,049 remained in the
county fund. Last January there
was balance of $69, ,591 in this fund,
a loss of over $450,0 in three years.
Because there WIS so small a bal
ance in the county fund, the auditor
Jan. 20 asked and received from
county council a 100000 temporary
loan to pay salaries and pressing
bills. Interest on this loan costs tax
payers $4,000. In addition the coun-
ell appropriated $91,96O for unpaid
1925 bills.
Boost Upon Boost
The auditor Submitted and ap
proved, did not oppose total appro-
priations and bond issues Of $1,834,-
IT'S in less than thirty days after the
beginning of the new year and fol-
lowing a tax rate boost last Sep
tember to the highest figure in the
county's history"
Fesler said the only recent in
stance of an attempt to reduce ex-
penditures was in cutting appropria-
tions for Sunnyside sanitorium and
the "cruel movement" to close JUL
eta hospital for the insane.
He charged that the present audit
or's political hackers" controlling
county commissioners are RESPONSE
BILE for these big increases.
The only remedy, Fesler said, was
real budget system, which he pro-
poses to follow.
