Bulldogs Conquer
Greyhounds, 9-8

Butler University will travel to
Charlottesville tomorrow to open
the important four-game series with
Wabash College after taking the
lead yesterday in the rivalry with
Indiana Central with 9-to-8 at
the Fairview diamond.
Inman Blackaby halted Grey
hound rally by setting the last two
batters down in the ninth inning
after the University Heights team
had tailed three times to threaten
lead built by the Bulldogs in the
fifth and sixth innings. 1t was
Buffers second triumph in the
series.
A home run by Laymon with
Staller on base featured the Butler
hitting. Corbett hurled effectively
until the ninth. Score:

Kansas City nearly duplicated the
Indians sour exhibition yesterday.
The Blues stacked up nine-run
lead over Louisville and were COM
PEELED to come from behind with a
three-run rally in the ninth to pull
out ahead, 1912. If Dutch
Zwilling had lost that one he would
have torn out the few remaining
hairs on his bald dome.
THE Chicago Cubs are said to
Il have the largest following of
any one ball club. But it's a
radio following of listeners-in.
The club is not drawing at Wrigley
Field even with the best of weather
on tap. . And they are the league
champs. They didn't lure the
customers last year until we'll along
in their winning streak to the pen
nant.
TOE LOUIS will be % this month.
- =. Max Schmeling will be 81 in
September. But probably will
look like 40 after the Brown Bomber
meets him in June. Max Baer
stopped the German in 10 rounds.
.. Joe Louis made Baer say uncle"
in four rounds. Pauline, the
Spaniard, went IL rounds with
Schmeling and lost the verdict.
Louis f1attaned Pauline in four
heats. So the guess is one or two
rounds next month.
Owner Schwartz of Bold Venture,
Kentucky Derby winner, Is trying

sion of his Jockey Ira HanfOrd. .
The lad was put on the ground for

Venture in the rich Preakness at

Farmers In City Today For Discussion Conference
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BRENTWOOD

Pentywood taxpayers are urged to go to the polls at the school election
TO be held Saturday, April a and vote to give power to the school board to
transfer surplus money low in the general fund, to the building fund. A ma
vote on the transfer will greatly benefit the school district.
A surplus of $4,000 has accumulated in the general fund. The money ac-
through extraordinarily big tax payments last year under the en-
Urgency tax paying law.
The school districts board has conscientousy and constructvely figured
out a plan TO PUT THAT MONEY TO GOOD USE
Penywoods school building has not been completed. When the present
new portion of the building was built, plans were made Sc that it could be COM
peted at such time when the district vas in financial shape to build. 1t is a
wen-known fact that the present school is crowded-the old buildings are still
being utilized to take care of the ever increasing number of students who m
here to take advantage o educational facilities. The building will have to
be expanded in the nea future.
That $4,000 Is NOW ON HAND. BY a vote of the people it al be trans
to the building fund where it can be put to use.
Government funds are available so that a as percent outright grant car be
secured and matched with the money available by making the fund transfer.
The $4,000 surplus on hand with a As percent OUTRIGHT GRANT would
be sufficient to complete the structure.
BY voting to favor the transfer NO INCREASE IN TAXES WILL RESULT.
NO ADDITIONAL BOND ISSUES WILL BE NECESSARY.
The measure which will be voted o. is but a technicalty of law. giving the
school board the power to transfer money from a fund to another.
By voting in favor of the transfer, the school district can:
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE as PERCENT GOVERNMENT GRANT.
THE DISTRICT CAN COMPLETE IT'S SCHOOL BUILDING PROGRAM,
A $4,000 SURPLUS CAN BE PUT TO WORK AND AT NO ADDITION
AL COST TO TAXPAYERS.
The measure should be given al Overwhelming majority vote.

commissioners IN
SPECIAL SESSIONA
ON economy MOVE
Treasury, Assessor Merged
With Recorder and Sur
veyor with Sheriff

In a sweeping, slashing economy
move the Sheridan county board of
county commissioners in special ses-
sion Tuesday voted to consolidate
county offices. A resolution, which was
adpted, will affect four county offices.
The offices of county assessor, treas
urer and clerk and recorder will be
punched under one head as clerk and
recorder. The office of county survey
or will be joined with the sherih's of
flee, while the public administrator
will be merged with the county cor
oner
The move, with the exception of the
office of treasurer whose term does not
expire until March, will be put in
force January l, 1887.
The resolution by the board will ell
inmate from the ballots this year the
offices of assessor, treasurer, surveyor
ard public administrator.
Sheridan county voters, going to the
polls in the primaries and general ell
ection, will cast their ballots for a
clerk and recorder, sheriff, superin-
tendent, attorney and clerk of court
only. The slashing economy act
dimmed the hopes of many office
seekers who have been oiling their
machine for the primary battle not far
off.
The action was taken in accordance
with a law passed by the last legisla-
ture which provides that certain offic-
es may be consolidated.
The Sheridan county board of COM
~missioners, grasping an opportunity to
cut expenses of administering county
offices, acted accordingly.
Sheridan county voters in the last
general election favored such a move
by a four-to-one majority and the
commissioners in Tuesdays session
carried out the wishes of the majority
of voters.
A saving of nearly $4,000 annually is
expected under the consolidation act.
Three Office heads viii y a~5ancSscd.
Clerical help will be cut. But one dep
uty will be named for the combined
offices of treasurer, assessor and clerk
and recorder. By consolidating the of
flee of surveyor with the sheriff, the
sheriff's deputy will then act as sur
veyor.
According to the new Montana law
orders for consolidation must be adj
opted by the board of commissioners
at least six months before the regular
election. Changes made under the new
law may be made any election year.
If the adopted plan does not work out
to the satisfaction of taxpayers the
plan can be remodeled in two years.
The commissioners action Tuesday
was the second big economy move by
them during the year. In January the
board voted to reduce Sheridan coun-
TVS classification from sixth to sew
enth. The change resulted in reduction
Of officials salaries and the act will go
into effect January l, 1887. The pay
checks of the county superintendent
will be cut 5000 per year, the county
attorney $500 a year, sheriff $3.50 a
year and clerk and recorder 5000 a
year.
