Bill to Regulate Bank Loans.

Bill to Regulate Bank Loans
Representative Calderwood, of Scott
county, has introduced a bill in the
house which prohibits banks from
loaning money to their own officials
or employees except upon formal ap-
prevail of the board of directors. The
bill contains stringent provision
making the directors personally re-
sponsible for the repayment of the
loan in such case. Mr. Calderwood
was actuated in introducing this bill
by the case of Banker Bethuen, of
Scott county, who sunk many thou
sands of dollars in the Cleveland the
alter in Chicago, eventually wrecked
his own bank, and was convicted only
with the utmost difficulty, owing to
the laxity of the existing statutes.

OF the house and senate. So far as is
practical in this state it applies the pro-

Larrabee Would Abolish Pass.
Former Gov. William Larrabee was
bonored Saturday by the legislature
of Iowa in manner unique in the
history of the state The occasion was
his seventy-fourth birthday ami
yersary and he was the guest of honor
at an official reception rendered by the
Legislature in joiat session. In the
course of Larrabee's address he urged
the assembly to pass law abolishing
the free railroad pass, and declared
that in his judgment a judicial officer
who accepts pass should be inn
peached. Gov. Larrabee recalled the
laws passed by Iowa when he was a
member OF the legislature, giving to
public officers the right to fix railroad
rates. He thought it good model
for the congress of the United States
TO adopt. GOV, Lafrabee urged the
assembly to establish . sanatorium
fer consumptives In Iowa, to lose nc
opportunity to drive the saloon from
the state and literally to treat the
educational institutions.

Urge a New Institution.
The legislative committee which Wis
TIED the institution for feeble minded
children at Glenwood recommended to
the general assembly that new nsti-
tution of like character be establi she'd
in the north or northwestern per- of
the state. The committee did make a
suggestion as to whether this new in
stitution should be along the identical
lines Of the Glenwood establishment or
should be an epileptic colony. 1t mere
| ly recognizes the need of additional
facilities for adequately caring for this
class Of detectives. Both the board
of control and the Glenwood manage
ment have urged the establishment OF
colony for epileptics.

Got 5000 Damages,

Minot journal: The jury in the
case of Morrison VS.. P. P. Lee brought
in a verdict for Morrison in the sum
of $4,000 after celebrating on the
case for about six hours. The case
has attracted great deal of attention
all week owing to the nature of the
suit. About three years ago Morri-
son claimed that he bought gallon
of kerosene Oil from the store Of P.
P. Lee which contained gasoline. This
he took to his shop and in starting
q fire with the, mixture the can ex-
ploded in his hands and severely
burned him. The case was tried two
years ago and the jury awarded Nor
rison a verdict of $4,750. This was
appealed to the supreme court and a
new trial granted. This was tried
this week in the district court in this
city before Judge Goss and the verdict
of the jur,' last night was, that Morri.
son was entitled to damages in the
lump sum of $4,000. The attorneys
for Mr. Lee Immediately filed notice
that they would appeal the case and
asked for a stay of thirty days. This

Will Protect Settlers.

Williston Graphic IT. e. Fox,
receiver of the U. S. land office at
Minot, is out with the "big stick"
and proposes to make a vigorous use
of it on all land sharks he can catch
who are fleeing the fomesteaders in
matters connected with final proofs.
Several snide sheets, called news
papers, which are sent out from vari-
GUS localities, where there is a post
office, and which have been started
for the purpose of catching final proof
notices, are liable to feel something
drop as soon as Mr.. Fox can secure
the proper information, and large
number of Shylocks, who are engaged
in working UP contest cases, will also
get the official ak in the neck. 1t
seems that the publishers of these
so-called newspapers have adopted a
plan of charging $1,000 or $500 fol
publishing final proof notices, the
extra charge being made as "attor
ney's fees" This was the case will
the Ross Tribune, which has beer
dfsbarred from publishing any fina
proof notices.

BY order of Gen. Sheridan, Gen!
G.. H. Forsythe was in military COM
mand to learn if the river was nav

was necessary to protect the survey
ors Of the N. p. r. R.. The trip was
successful, and on Gen. Forsythe's
report the first Custer expedition was
made inf 1873 from Fort Rice to a
point above the Big Horn. river. I
was in command of the supply boat.
Clusters first battle with the Sioux
Indians took place short distance

Fort Lincoln, which was the head
quarters for the It'll Cavalry, Gen.
Clusters regiment, Nothing of in
terest occurred on the up-river trip
and when we arrived at Fort Lincoln
we learned that the expedition had
been gone about ten days to, march
to Powder river, where they were
to meet the supply boat. While we
unloaded our cargo, Mrs. Custer
and all of the oticers' wives came
on board; this was the custom in
those days as the forts were lone
some places at best and the arrival
of a boat was almost as good as
Fourth of July celebration. Dur
ing the afternoon, while they were.
on the boat, the steward prepared
coffee and lunch for them was
busy attending to the loading of sup
plies for the cavalry, and when lunch
was ready, Mrs Custer called to me
to come and eat with them. While
we were enjoying the lunch, Mrs.
Custer remarked to me that the
General had said that if l were will
ing, she and Mrs. Lieut.. Smith might
make the trip with me on the boat;
but one reason why I had chosen the
Far West instead of my own boat,
Josephine, which had fine cabin
on it, was to, keep passengers from
going ON this trip. I told them in
as polite way as could that If
had my own boat where they had the
best of accommodations, I would like
very much to have them with us,
but on this boat there were no con-
yeniences, and it really was no place
for. ladies. We would probably have
sick and wounded on the boat, and I
did not think it would be pleasant for
them. L could see they were dis
appointed but that it was best that
they did not make the trip as other
wise they would have been on the
boat when ! their husbands were
killed. h NH 5lE5 .....<; !, p: . - Il
When we had finished loading, we
received a hearty farewell, and were
OFF for the trip. We made good
time, and reached Powder river be-
fore the army arrived, They had
pack mules to carry their supplies,
and would eneamp near the river
where they could take supplies from
the boat. We met the army again
ut the mouth OF Rosebud river, the
army going into camp at that point.
we were in camp at this point
several days, and while there, the
nth Infantry with Gen. Gibbons in
command, met us. They marched
from Fort Shaw, Montana. They
were there several days.

brother Tom, who was captain Of one
of the troops; his nephew, "a young
