History of Case. I.lllle Oleson was last seen alive by her two little brothers and her father late In the afternoon of December 8. The child, clad only In the thin dress and slippers had attempted to follow her brothers after the cattle when she was told to go back When the boys returned to the house their little sister was not there. Search began immemdiately. All next day the Oleson family and neighbors searches tn vain, and the people of Pender and Bancroft joined In the attempt to flnf the child, but to For days the cltisens kept up tha search, and officers all over the west were notified to watch for the child, kidnappers bolng suspected. Two weeks after the dls appearance scores went to Rosalie from Omaha. 8ioux City and surrounding towns to search for the child. The Oleson farm was gone over with a fine tooth comb and officers paraded around to find something which would fasten suspicion to someone when foul play was suggested. Then the yellow newspapers got busy and pointed the finger of suspicion at Olaf Oleson. father of the little girl. They claimed to have discovered that the little girl was last seen while attempting to fol low her little brothers to the feeding lots and that her father had driven her back, using some force. Every conceivable argu ment was used to fasten suspicion on Ola son. The sheriff of Dodge county was called In, going to Rosalie. A police re porter of an Omaha paper sprung the story that the child's tongue wae found by the police reporter tn a pile of hay not fax from the Oleson home. .The girl's father was aaked to go to Fremont for an exami nation and the tongue.story was told him. After a short Interview the officers were convinced that he was a much wronged man and absolutely Innocent of any con nection With the disappearance of his llttla girl. Medians Called la. Then another "yellow" broke out and caused Mr, Oleson more trouble. Thla time it came from Sioux City, where some spir itualist attempted to get vibrations from the spirit world for so much per, the ex pense being furnished by a red line news paper anxioua for a "story" regardless of the cost to the parenta of the- child. Mr. Oleson went through the ordeal with the alleged clairvoyants and "mediums," who reported promptly to the plnklets. But the spiritualistic mediums failed, as had the officers, and Mr. 'Oleson vindicated him self from the charge which sensationalists attempted to fasten on him. Unable to atand the grief which remain ing tn the old home caused Mr. and Mrs. Oleson moved to a farm near Wausau, but the neighbors and people of Bancroft and Pender were indignant at the attempts made to fasten suspicion of Olaf Oleson and declared his arrest to be only the re sult of the "yellow" methods of a Bloux City and an Omaha red liner and tha stunt of taking some gruesome relic to the Ole son xf arm by the overiealoua officers. The opinion prevails in Bancroft today that the little glr! wandered away In the mist which covered the Winnebago reser vation the evening of her disappearance. Her distance, from home gradually reached three miles and the archers did not look that far from the home for the child.

At tha recent letting the board had some difficulty in getting wholesale houses to bid In some Instances, while In those lo calities where the retail dealers bid. the wholesale houses which supply them, kept out entirely. As the law requires the board to let tha contract to the' lowest bidder. It was simply up against the proposition of doing the best It could'under the circum stances. A .
