to make our reports to the State
Board of Equalization and there
are quite a number of taxpayers
who have not reported their per-
sonal property to the Assessors
office. If these are not sent in or
brought to us within a short time,
it will be necessary to write up
the assessment from records Or
sources available.
There has been some question
as to feeder cattle bought last
fall. We are making a pro-rated
assessment on them for the
months the owner has them.
Any personal property which
was in Richland county March 4,
is taxable for 1857. If you have
not received a form for reporting
this property please call at the

be mailed to you.
We wish to thank all those tax
payers who have ~cooperated by
returning their reports promptly.

Gerber Held AT
Moorhead, Mimi.
On Sidney Charge

Sheriff Sam w. Childers left
Wednesday morning on an of
fetal trip to the western part of
the state and on his return is
stopping at Helena to ask for
extradition papers from Governor
j. Hugo Aronson for Raymond
A. Gerber, Sc, former superin-
tendent of Sidney schools, who
was arrested at Moorhead, Mimi,
on a charge of embezzling $500
of school money here.
Returning to Sidney from Hell
ena, Sheriff Childers said he
would then go to st. Paul, MINI,
to present the extradition papers
to Minnesota's governor.
Gerber was picked up by
Parker Erickson, Clay county,
MINI. sheriff at a Moorhead psy-
chiatrist's office where the re-
ceptionist had recognized his name
from newspaper reports.
The Clay County, Mimi, sher-
if quoted the receptionist in the
psychiatrist's office as saying
Gerber asked for treatment. She
informed the doctor and he called
the sheriff's office.
The sheriff said Gerber signed
a statement in Moorhead that he
had embezzled money from school
funds. Parker also said Gerber
signed a waiver of extradition
proceedings.
Earlier, in Sidney, Childers and
County Atty. Victor Koch issued
a joint statement reviewing the
case. They said on April 20 a
new school board took office and
ordered an audit of the Sidney
grade and high school funds.
They said, THE auditors at
tempted to discuss discrepancies
with Gerber on Monday after
noon, April 20, and Gerber prom
ised to return Tuesday morning
proof of the unexplained
items. Gerber left, however, on
Tuesday morning."
Gerber had been superintend-
ent of Sidney schools since 1882,
moving from Hardin. He had been
a principal in Hardin and earlier
n Lodge Grass schools. He was
BORN at Meriden, Kan, received
MS bachelors degree from Mon
State University, Missoula;
his masters from the University
Of Washington.
The day after Gerber left Sid
ney, Ed Edmor6son, school board
chairman, said Harry F. Mikelson
Sidney high school principal, had
been appointed superintendent of
Sidney schools for one year.
