burn because of a run which began
with the opening of the banks doors
and continued TO grow in volume as
the day advanced. Soon after the an
nouncement was made that the Ger

ment that it would stand by the Ger
man-American Bank and meet all de-
mands on it. This announcement had
a reassuring effect and several large
deposits which had been withdrawn
were again placed in the bank. Small
depositors, however, continued TO draw
out their money.
The German bank has deposits
amounting to five or six millions. Supt.
Kilburn is of the opinion that the Ger

Shattuck On The Mustard.

A. B. Shattack is one of the
far'uers who is complaining on
account OF the prevalence OF
mustard on the farms north of
town, and believes the farmers
are making a mistake by taking
so little notice of it. For him
self, he get out in the field and
pulls it's, and very little can be
seen on his place. He reports
many fields OF flax SO full Of
mustard that the flax will be of
little value and he believes the
owner should plow up flax must
ard and all right away, and get
rid of the mustard in that way.
The curly leafed mustard is COM
ing in badly. He blieves the
discing OF 50 much land in the
spring is the cause OF the great
amount of mustard and believes
the farmers do too much work in
a hap hazard manner.

Two women who were picking

covered a box filled with strange
looking sticks and carrying to
town delivered it to Sheriff Sco-
field. 1t proved to be a box Of
dynamite with twelve large sticks
each one big enough to wreck
any building in the city. The
matter was reported to thepolice
who are on the lookout for any
bad appearing characters. Just
how the dynamite came to be in
this secluded place is a mystery.
1t was lying under the bushes
and ordinarily would not have
been discovered. The banks have
been notified to be on the look
out. With the prospects for
good times here this fall, hoboes
have begun to arrive here by the
swarms and should be dealt with
severely. Numerous robberies
will be committed and it will be-

Is Making Cement Blocks.

r. Weagant has started an in
dustry at his home in this city
which promises to be a paying
one for him as we'll for the proper
ty owners in the city OF Minot.
He is making cement blocks
eighteen inches square for the
building OF side walks. He has
one man assisting him and the
two can make 100 of the blocks
in day. He can sell the blocks
for twenty cents each and make
a little money. The blocks are
two inches thick and very hard,
III fact so hard that a hammer
will not iniure them. They may
be placed in sand and will then
make a walk which will last for
ages and still cost but a few cents
more to the running foot than a
board walk. A board walk costs
forty cents a running foot, while
this walk will cost only fifty-t three
cents to the running foot. He
puts a large amount OF cementin
the blocks which explains why
they are so hard. He has gone
to a good deal Of trouble getting
his machinery ready for the work
and has been making the blocks
but a few days.
