Can't Remove
Buildings From Land

Malta, July PA test case in
which the county commissioners
for the County of Phillips will
seek to recover damage for the
sale of buildings from land on
which a tax sale certificate has
been issued has been filed in the
district court here by County At
torney J.. H. Forester.
Emanuel Christensen of Forks
is the defendant in the action.
The county claims that damages
of 5000 were suffered when the
buildings were removed from the
land and asks recovery of that
sum and costs.
If the court finds for the plain
tiff it means that no one has the
right to remove buildings from
land upon which a tax certificate
has been issued. The county con-
tends that it has a right to pre-
vent removal Of buildings from the
land before application for tax
title is made and any time after
the date of tax sale on account
of delinquent taxes.

friends in more fortunate sections
of the country might write to
them asking for children's cloth
ing that has been ~outgrown, but
still has good wear in it. This
could be turned over to the Red
Cross and be distributed where
there is need.
1t might also be well for people
who are going to need Red Cross
help this fall and winter, when
making application for aid, to give
information concerning the child
ren in the family who will need
clothing, their names, ages, etc.
If this could be done it would help

TRACTOR EXPL0DES
SCALDING DRIVER
Poplar Standard

Frank Dolezelik, well known
young farmer of the ountry north
west of here, narrowly ESCAPED
death from burns Friday, when
his tractor exploded. Scalding wat
err and steam burned approximate
ly one-third of the surface of his
body, including his face, should
ers, chest and back.
1t is said that he had to walk
and drive some distance for help
to bring him to town, where he
has been under the care of DR..
Swanson since.
When the extent of his burns
was reported little hope for his
recovery vas held, but the doctor
reports that he is now improving
rapidly.
Nothing definite can be learned
about the accident but it is now
thought the tractor must have be-
come heated to a terrific degree
in the terrific weather Friday
and that Mr.. Doiezelik poured cold
water into it so rapidly as to
cause a tremendous explosion.

w. E. Arnot, guardian of the es-
tate and person of Anna M. Ar

ton instituted several months a
Q o by Arnot. A hearing on a mo-
ton for leave to file a supplement-
airy bill. asked by the Northwest
ern company, was heard by the
court Tuesday morning.
The decree gave Arnot the right
to collect ~S15,S28.4S from the
Northwestern company and S3.S46-
Is from the Bankers Life COM
pany. Due to some unsettled mat
tiers regarding other parties in
volved in the case, approximately
$500 was ordered held by the
court until settled. Checks to
cover the amount allowed in the
decree were deposited some time
ago by the insurance companies
through the court clerks office.
The action resulted from the
death of Jesse E. Arnot, Glasgow
banker, whose death. according to
the original complaint. resulted
directly and independently of all
ether causes from bodily injury
effected through external, violent
and accidental causes, inflicted,
directed and produced upon him
by some third person or persons,
whose identity is unknown.
Anna NJ. Arnot was adjudged
insane by the district court for
county and w. E. Arnot, a
brother of Jesse f. Arnot, appoint
ed guardian. The insanity trial
held in Glasgow seven or
eight months ago.
