one who desires to bring charges
against any one in the police de-
partment can do SO by appearing
before the police merit board and
the Board of Safety"
Sheriff Ray said:
i will demand of Mayor Kern
that he fire Mike Morrissey as chief
OF police, and a certain police cap-
tain and some lieutenants. The de.
mand will be based on the fact that

Helm Denies Charge
Capt. Helm denied that he had
circulated a petition in the police
department or that he knew of any

finally prevailed upon to enter q

Before this, Zloncheck took
Sergeant Helmuth for q wild ride
In the big roadster. The sergeant
went to Zioncheck's office to talk
things over with him.
He, admitted he could not make
an arrest on Government prop
erty, whereupon Zioncheck Sug-
gested they take q ride. The
sergeant was willing, and they
started off.
After driving some time, Zion
check drove back to Capitol Hill,
parked his car, jumped out and
started to run into the building
where he would be safe.
Sergeant Helmuth jumped out,
grabbed his coat and the scuffle
started. zioncheck shouted:
Draw your gun. Use 1t. I
dare you TO-"
Sergeant Helmuth declined to
do this. and Zioncheck shouted:

The court house project seems
to be meeting with public approval.
Hundreds of Sheridan county
taxpayers have signed petitions
favoring an election to be called
for the purpose of determining
whether the county should bond
for a designated sum to be used
for the construction Of a court
house for, the county.
Everyvcommunity and precinct
in the county is already represent
ed on the petitions and bv the end
Of the week, the petition commit

insure the placing Of the proposal

Twenty per cent Of the county
taxpaying voters are required on
the petition to bring the PROPOSE
ton to q vote. And by the end
Of the week it appears that the
number. Of signers will exceed the
number by. o substantial margin.
AS a.result Of the circulation Of
the petitions, the proposal to build
an adequate court house in Sheri-
dan county is being discussed pro
and con by everybody, especially
the taxpayers who are the only
ones qualified to sign petitions or
vote on the bond proposal primary

the fact that federal funds equal
ling as per cent Of the cost Of the
structure can be secured as an out
right grant, Sheridan county
should by all means take advant-
age Of the opportunity especially
in face Of the further fact that
there is such a need for a court
house in the county. Besides il
will furnish needed work for the
masons and carpenters now when
they need it, and it is not likely
that it will be possible to build
in the future as cheaply as now.
A court house costing approx
mately 100000 is what is being
discussed-but there are many
who feel that as the federal grant
Of as per cent is available, that a
court house adequate to meet all
needs should be built when a court
house Is built, and that such a
court house cannot be constructed
for less than 100000.

PULLS GUN ON FARMER
COMMITTEE COMING TO
DISCUSS CALLAHAN
MATTER WITH HIM

Last Sunday morning, Easter,
when many folks like to square
themselves with their neighbors,
and make their peace with heaven,
q farmer committee, composed OF
state and county officials Of the
Holiday Association, and other
farmers went out to the Callahan
farm TO talk the matter over with
Blase to see if he could not be
persuaded Of his evil actions, and
induced to make a settlement Of
any claim that he might have and
peacefully move out Of Galatians
home and off from his farm, so
that Callahan could move on and
start his spring work.
When the farmers arrived at
Callahan's gate, they met Blase
coming out in q truck. Blase saw
who the farmers were, and pulled
a six-shooter, forbidding Rodney
Salisbury, state president Of the
Holiday Association, to open the
gate on pain Of instant death. The
gate was opened and President
Salisbury got out Of his car and
approached Blase who had gotten
out Of the truck, who ordered him
to halt or he would shoot. Sails

up and got into the truck, still

holding his gun, but grew more
calm and amiable. Salisbury OK
planned that he did not come out
there to shoot bat to talk things
over with him with the hopes Of
a peaceful and sensible settlement
Of the Callahan affair, and that
no one was going to hurt him.
Blase then said he was willing
to discuss and arbitrate the matter
with certain neighbors, naming
Paul Kanning as one. Salisbury
assured Blase he would be glad to

more cars drove up, when Blase
seemingly frightened, rushed foI
the house with the truck. AS he
drove beyond a raise he fired his
gun in the air a couple Of times
in a boyish and "whistling-in-thC
graveyard" tactic to brighten the
visiting and protesting farmers.
However, the cars drove onto the
farm and parked there for sew
