Butte Board Pushes Rapid School Building Plan
The Butte school board moved to rush completion of new buildings and additions to handle rapid south side population growth. A White Block 1 addition costing 44200 and a new five to eight room Miadicon school were approved, with plans for four rooms at the Greeley school. Delegations from Lincoln, McKinley and Webster attended. McKinley fundraisers ask ground leveling and fencing. The board authorized grading estimates, sought engineer help, and eyed about 225000 needed before tax time. Banks likely would supply funds.

Out on Bonds Yet Holds Town Office
Patrolman Henderson was shot four times by Constable W J Little after Henderson had taken Little to jail for a traffic violation. Little was released on a $2,000 bond and retained his office, with no clear legal path to removal unless convicted. Henderson, missing an arm from the shooting, claims the attack was unprovoked and that he did not know Little was present at the time. Later, Little resumed duties and appeared at police headquarters to serve papers, and Henderson later learned Little was the assailant.
