Many splendid contributions were received which will be published later. The interest shown in this contest is itself evidence of much good being done for better schools. The further use of these songs, limericks, slo­gans in future agitation for trained teachers and better schools will con­tinue for some time. The Town Cri­ers are to be congratulated upon the public spirit and interest which the club showed in education.

BANKER IS SUED FOB *50,000 IN ALIENATION CASE

Devils Lake, Sept, 13. — James^ L. O'Donnell, cashier of the State Blink at Tokio, near here, was brought to the city by Deputy Sheriff Art Ljmn on an order of arrest and bail issued by Judge Buttz as the preliminary step in a $50,000 suit brought against him by Benjamin H. Harris, a Tokio farmer, who alleges that O'Donnell has alienated his wife's affections.

The suit is the outcome cf alleged clandestine meetings between O'Don-tiefl an<d MrsL Harris, which' were brought to a climax a short time ago when some of the neighbors com­plained to Harris of what they con­sidered improper conduct on the part of Mrs. Harris and O'Donnell. A di­vorce suit is now pending against

i Mrs. Harris, while her husband is de­termined to push the alienation dam­age suit against O'Donnell.

Serumgard and Conant represen^ Harris in this suit, while Flyn.n & Traynor are attorneys f-or O'Doijnell. When O'Donnell was brought before Judge Buttz c/n the latter's order, his .bail was fixed at $2,000, which was immediately furnished. He also is married. Mrs. Harris is 27 years of s>fre.
