Considerable objection has been
arouseu recently in tne city by tne re
ported high school dances which have
been occurred this winter, and dances
were strongly attacked at one of the
meotings Sunday and tho board of edu
cation nnd faculty wore very strongly
censured. One of tho faculty announced
at tho meeting that the dances were
not given by the high school and that
they had nothing to do with them.
Different pupils givo them and invito
whom they wisli nnd there is never an
cxclusivo high bchool attendance. Ap
plication was jnndo to the faculty nnd
board of directors at the first of the
school year and tho dances wero for
bidden as high school dances. Some of
tho parents in all grades object to
dancing and for this renson they are
forbidden ns high school or class dances.
But if the pupils givo them independ
ently and report them as high school
dances, tho faculty nor the board of
education have no jurisdiction over
them und can only object to their being
reportod as given by the high school.

Files Intervention Petition.
County Attorney Geo. N. Gibbs filed
a petition of intervention lost week in
the district court in the estate matter
of the lato Wm. D. Lyle whd died here
about five years ago. At the time of
the death no heirs could be found and
tho administiator of tho estate was
appointed. Shortly after this some al
leged heirs appeared from Scotland and
attempted to claim the estate. Trial
was held here and the jury decided
that the heirs wore illegal and the case
was carried to the supremo court.. It
was returned from that court and sent
here for a new trial. The county at
torney filed the petition whereby the
estate will escheat to the state on ac
count of no legal heirs being found.
The estnto amounts to about $G,000.
