WHEATFIELD SCANDAL

Is Still Occupying the Attention Of The Puplic and Is Likely To Be Investigated. It is reported that Prosecutor Longwell will investigate the alleged actions of a member of the Wheatfield school board, which was mentioned briefly in Wednesday’s Democrat, and whose refusal to resign at the demand of other officials of Wheatfield and the public generally is doing much to injure the schools. If the charges are true, someone ought to be punished, and if untrue G. D. Anderson, the accused member, should be exonerated. The whole community up there is wrought up over the alleged occurrence and the school teachers, it is reported, refuse to go to Anderson’s office to sign up their contracts. Anderson denies the allegations, but would have listened to the public demand that he resign, it is said, but for his attorney, who advises him to stand pat. The end is not yet.
