Loses a Valuable Horse
Paul Schewe. IP ing just out of the
city, has suffered the loss of a val
uable horse a fev days since. Tlie
animal gave symnv.rns of not feeling
the best the night before it died and
then exhibited no indications of suf
fering. A veterinary was called who
after an examination nronounced the
trouble as rupture 0f the. stomach.
The animal was nbout. gone at the
tine and died so n after. To ascer

Spring Election.
The iegular meeting of the lur-.j
elsck city council was held at the j
office of the Farmers' Union elevat- j
or with all the members of the board
present. A number of things were
given their attention but tire one of j
mcst interest at this time was the j
com ideration of a resolution for the
incorporating in the spring election
a proposition for voting upon the)
purchase of two chemical engines for j
use of the city in the extinguish-!
ing of fires which might occur. The '
city lias now a fire house and fire
fighting equipment which by reason
of non-interest is locked in the
house and the members of the former
fire elepartment have forgotten seem
ingly their organization. In case
of the purchase of the chemical en
gines as proposed it will be neces
sary to have a fire team for the pur
pose of successfully fighting the fire ,
as well as it would In the case of
the using of the apparatus which is
now on hand. There are many places
where both the apparatus for fire
fighting with water and chemicals
are both used. The gVeat need of
Murdoch is a water works system
with only question now as to wheth
er the citizens think it would be
n'ce to have them if they could be
afforded and there might be a way
to that end also. We are needing a
new modern nn-to-date school build
ing adequate to the needs of the city,
igood system of electric lighting and
a good system of water supply for the
town. While these things may come
We Keep Books for You!
One of the advantages of having a bank account
is the fact that every transaction is recorded on the
books of the bank. You may have access to these at
any time if necessary and verify your own record of

books for you.
Such a record is of great value sometimes in mak
ing out your income tax returns.

ness and ycu will be more than pleased with the con

high seemingly it may be possible to
find a way. Any way there could
be taken steps by the town board for
the re-organization of the volunteer
fire department as formerly. There
are lots of young men and boys just
approaching manhood who would be
pleased to become active members of
the department if it was again put
o:i the map and why not got after it
at once." That might offer a solu
tion for some e;f the other things the
city needs. The council which is
composed of August I'anska. mayor,
II. V. McDonald, city clerk and treas
urer, and with the other members.
Stephen Lcis, I. G. ornbeck and
William Rush, are all" capable men
and able to cope with the situation.
Not Feeling Very Well
Judge Herman A. Gast, who con
ducts a shoe repairing shop and the
cream station, is not. in the best ef
health at this time and it is not poss
ible for him to get the work done
which vou!d naturally ccme to hira
and consequently he feels rather blue
over the situation. However he has
a lot of friends who are contributing
to his welfaro in one way and anoth
er and for this he feels very grateful
and wants all who have in any way
assisted liitu during these time; to
accept his thanks for their kindness.
