Excellent Showing.

The annual report of the auditor
and treasurer of Mclean county
has just been published and the
officials and taxpayers Of that
splendid county have reason to be
proud of the excellent showing.
Few counties in the state are in
better financial condition and the
report makes other counties green
with envy.
According to the report the to-
tai liabilities of the county consist
of bonds outstanding. $4,000;
warrants unca]led for. $172.7S.
Total debt, S27,l72.7S. Not only
is this remarkably small amount
for a large and growing county to
owe, but the best of it is that the
due and delinquent taxes amount
ing to about S25. 900, and the So
033.s7 in the sinking fund will
more than wipe ont this debt.
AS against the liabilities or debt
the county has the following legal
and other assets to her cred:
Debt limit Of county 5 per cent
Of the assessed valuation (S3.5Sl.-
419) Sl79,O7O.95.
Cash on hand in county fund
S35, 1920.
Total legal assets, S2l4,s14,15.
In addition to this the county
has other assets consisting of
courthouse furniture and records,
$4,000. Jail and furniture $780,
600; bridges, S1O,5OO; road tools,
including graders, $1,000. Taxes
due and delinquent (estima ed)
$4,000. Total of all assets $685.
Sl4.l5.
It will make most of the other
counties go some to equal this
showing. 1t is an evidence that
the county's affairs have been
judiciously and economically ad-
mlnistered and everybody in that
region ought to feel good over
present conditions and tie to the
people who manage things like
that.-Bismarck Tribune.

In intellect and manners and other
qualifications which go towards
the promise of a bright and useful
career, he was far beyond his
years and the great disappoint-
ment and sorrow caused by his
early death is rendered so much
keener because of the bright ca
reer future held in store for him
had he lived. He was generous
almost to fault, heing ever ready
to share whatever he had with his
friends and playmates. With
those qualifications he could not
lelp but be a general favorite
wherever he went, for to know him
was to love him and his cheerful,
manly presence will long be missed
in this town.
AS an incident which makes his
death even more pathetic, may be
mentioned that on the Saturday
next prior to his death he had
planned a party to celebrate his
eighth birthday. To this his last
party were invited his little friends
and playmates and he, as we'll as
those invited were looking forword
to day Of joy, for on similar oc-
casions Carlyle had proven him
self to be an exceptionally hospi-
table and entertaining host. In
stead Of spending the day with his
friends and playmates in happi-
ness he lay suffering on his death
bead, never more to play with them
and taxing leading part, as was
his wont.
This loss will be especially hard
to bear by his parents, as he was
their only child: and it will be DIFF
fcult for them to become accus-
toned to his vacant place. The
entire community extend their
heartfelt sympathy to them in this
time of grief.
The funeral was strictly private
lowing to the nature of the disease
Eyhich caused his death, only very
few of the friends of the bereaved
being present at the cemetery

SAWYER Bank Robbers
Are Caught.

Minot, Oct. 24.-After long
and untiring pursuit on the part
of the Minot posse, who have been
driving for thirty hours, the Saw
yer bank robbers were captured
near Max Tuesday afternoon.
The robbers were traced from
the grain bin in which they spent
Monday and in which they left
evidences of their haul.
A party consisting of Deputy
Sheriff Ed Kelley, G. G. Willis and
Pete Lee located three of the
band who were fleeing across the
prairie. Shots were instantly ex-
changed and in a few minutes one
Of the band signified his intentions
of giving up the fight and surrend-
ering. Another was hit in the leg
by one of the flying bullets and
bone broken above the ankle. The
third was not discovered until an
hour had elapsed, when he was
found hiding in slough in which
he had cast his money. He was
ducking under the water, coming
up to the surface for breath when
thought the men were not looking.
Another posse, consisting of
men from Sawyer, traced the other
two men of the party to straw
stack where they were discovered
sound asleep. Covered by the
guns of the pursuers, the robbers
wisely surrendered. All five were
brought to the county Jail shortly
after midnight. The men gave
their names as Charles Sullivan,
j. Hayes, Bert Conroy, M. H.
Duffy. The injured man is suffer-
ing too much to speak.
Sullivan was formerly employed
in Minot as cook and is well ac-
quainted in the city. Duffy is an
old and experienced criminal. The
other four are young and apparent
ly new at the business. All the
money was recovered with the ex-
ception Of $500 which was scatter
ed over the prairie. Forum.
