Bert Switzer Receivers
Stolen Gun From Dakota

j. B. Switzer of this city con-
Isiders himself lucky when it comes
to recovering property which has
been stolen from him. Some time
ago Mr.. Switzer had 16-gauge
Winchester gun stolen from his
home in this city. He advertised
for it quite widely and had noti-
fed authorities in the surrounding
towns but to no avail. Early this
week Oscar Johnson, sheriff at
Hope, North Dakota returned the
gun to him. A man named George
Boyer had stolen it from Mr.
Switzer and carrying it with him
had gone to Hope, North Dakota.
Sheriff Johnson happened to no.
tice the gun at his brothers
house where Boyer was rooming,
and doing some investigating
found out who the owner was and
returned it.

B. A. Barickman, local tele-
Iphone manager, in referring to
the connection just completed at
Frazer by the Mountain State:
lime with the farmers line, known
as the North Star Telephone

miles northeast Of Frazer, ex-
tends straight north 81 miles to the
Quiring farm. Branch lines go
to the ]. K. Fast farm, Lustre

There are switches at each of these

Jakob P. Neufeld, a farmer re
siding north of town in the Pho
neer neighborhood, died at his
old home in Mountain Lake, MINI.
last Thursday, January IA.
Mr. and Mrs. Neufeld and three
of the younger children went tc
Mountain Lake before Christmas
for a visit with parents and other
relatives. While there Mr.. Neu-
field was taken sick and was placed
in a hospital. An operation was
found necessary, but Mr.. Neufeld
survived only two days after it
was performed.
The five children who had re-
manned here left last Saturday
morning for Mountain Lake. Fun
eral arrangements had not been
completed at the time this infor-
nation was received. Mr.. Neu-
field is survived by his wife and
eight children, his mother and
father and other relatives. The
people of his home community
were greatly shocked and grieved
at the sudden death of their
neighbor, and feel the deepest
sympathy for the family in their
great loss. They feel that they
have lost dear friend and good
neighbor.

John Cobban of Froid and the
good outlook for sheep for sever

there is still further room for
Expansion in this direction by
Roosevelt county farmers. Some
experience as gathered from these
pioneer Roosevelt county sheep
men show that sheep-raising is a
very profitable enterprise and that
last year the average eve gave as
high as $40 cash return for the
year in the form of wool and a
lamb. Further investigation
shows that small flock of sheep
fits into our system of farming
in such a shape that in case either

In recent issue of the Norma
Index, a publication of the state
normal college at Dillon is an ar
ticle entitled Civilization of the
Assembly Period" written by
Supt. F. H. Livingston. Last
year when President Davis was
here he was favorably impressed
with the conducting of assembly
periods and requested Mr.. Liv-
ingston to write an article on the
subject.
Mrs. Neil McFarlan delivered
highly interesting and instruc-
tive faculty talk on School
Funds" The gist of the talk was
on the sources of school revenue
and the means by which they
were raised. Our school district
per capita cost is about $64. The
local school districts of the state
have to pay $52. Seven dollars
is paid from the 7-mill levy. Ac-
cordingly the great state of Mon
tana pays only SIS for the eduea-
ton of each child. This ranks
them 29th among the states of the
union in this respect.
