Findings of s5,005.s6, all of a
technical nature and none criminal
were made in the report of the re-
cent examination of the records of
Hardin county by S. K. Armstrong
examiner, and D. w. Harman, assist
ant, spanning the period from March
10, 1889 to Sept. 80, 1940.
However, the report contained a
forceful criticism of the Hardin
county commissioners and auditor
with regard to the overdrawing OF
funds and operating in the red
when funds are exhausted.
In a special audit made Sept.

on request of Rex w. Hanna, Hard.

eled on official county business, as

City high school as well as six one
room schools that were operated this
term in the Palmer district. In
turn, the county board created three
new school districts and enlarged a
fourth.

explained, ito retrieve $4,000 in
state foundation funds for the Put
nam County school system" Be-
cause voters of the Palmer district
defeated proposed bond issues for
$4,000 and s105,O0O in November,
1910, and March, 1941, which would
have made possible complete CEN
tralization of the district, the state
department of education refused to
approve charter for the six schools

Farmer Gored By Bull

Frank Kruse, prominent farmer of
north of Ottawa, narrowly escaped
death Sunday afternoon when he was
charged by bull in the barn yard
Mr.. Kruse was attempting to put the
bull in the pen when the animal
charged. Despite the blows from a
heavy club which Mr.. Kruse was
carrying, the animal kept on charg-
ing and succeeded in knocking Mr..
Kruse to the ground.
Had it not been for John Kruse, a
son, nearby, Mr.. Kruse would prob
ably have been killed by the raging
animal. The son called for the dog,
who succeeded in driving the bull
away.
