puted houses OF ill-fame, located

GUY FRANK VICE PRES,
union NATIONAL BANK
SUCCEEDS MIR. ALBRIGHT

Guy 0. Frank purchased the
stock OF G. J. Albrecht in the
Union National Bank, in the
Ward County Bank at Grano
and in the Russell State Bank Of
Russell. Mr.. Frank succeeds Mr..
Albrecht as Vice President OF the
Union National Bank, and is a
director of the Grano and Rus
sell banks.
Mr.. Albrecht who came here
from Minneapolis over a year
ago and was instrumental in or
ganizing the Union National
Bank, intends leaving for Wash
ington soon, to which place he
was going at the time that Mi
not attracted him. He has been
a good careful bank official, a
keen business man and a good
fellow for the city. Minot will
miss Mr.. Albrecht and his esti-
mable family.
The new Vice President is a
man who has lived in Ward
county for about fifteen years.
He came here from Pennsylvania
a young man eager to get a start
in the new country and he has
made a great success of business.
Until a few months ago he was a
member of the firm OF Frank 4
Fauchald, proprietors of the
New York store, but sold out tG
his partner, julius Fauchald.
Mr.. Frank is a man of means
and his influence in the growing
bank will be felt. His wide &C.

Elmer Falkenberg and Kitty
Armstrong were arrested about

berg's old friend named Crook.
He suggested that the couple go
at once to Tando, secure a mar
riage license and marry.
This they did. The 'Cando
Judge, Mayhood. was induced to
date the license back several
days. He was told that the
girls parents lived in Wisconsin
and were respectable. That she
was about to return to her home
and the license would stop an
evil report which had been 'circu-
lated. The jndge did wrong in
dating the license back, but did
it to save the girls reputation.

Falkenberg to sign an affidavit
that this was not done for a
money consideration or to evade
justice.

House Close to Street.

When Mrs. Jennings erected
her palatiai home on South Main
street a year or so ago, she little
thought that her porch would be
within a foot of the street. Upon
looking up the survey carefully
she finds that this is true and as
the city will soon begin grading
the hill, there will be a sheer drop
OF a good many feet from the
porch. She asked the city coun-
Gil to change the plans for grad
ing, but this can hardly be done.

county will mean much to this
institution. Mr.. Frank will be-
gin upon his duties Immediately.
The Union National bank is an
institution OF which the people of
Minot feel proud. 1t is but a
litUle over a year old, yet the de-
posits amount to over $780, 900.
The President, F. H. Welcome
OF Minneapolis, has been in Mi
not several days experimenting
the change that has just taken
place.
MIR. Frank returned from
Grano and Russell where the
stockholders of the banks held
meetings. Mr.. Frank was elect
ed Vice President OF those banks.
Mr.. Albrecht has decided to re.
main at the bank with Mr..
Frank until Dec. I, when he will
leave for the west. In this way
MIR. Frank will be able to go
''onto the ropes" in nice shape.
AS his business will be to look
after the loans, he will have to
be most conservative, and the
Independent knows that his
judgement is the best.
MIR. Frank has had some
experience. He was once inter.
ested in a bank at Towner and
Tor a year was it's cashier. He
was teller in the First National
Bank OF Minot in the early days
and this experience will prove in,
valuable to him. He will devote
his whole time to the banking
business.

but he never thinks of the terri
BILE catastrophe which befell him.,
thai he does not shudder, and
wish that circumstances had not
almost compelled him to become
a murderer.
Queal was running a ':sure

benefit and amusement of the
"boys.' ''Shang" Foster assist
ed Queal in various ways and

and couldn't. Foster said:
"You get that money by five
o'clock this afternoon, or l will
kill you Queal tried again
and could not make the raise.
Foster was a man OF his word
and Queal knew that he meant
to do just what he said he would
do. ..

store now stands. The tent was
a big saloon owned by Doyle

some that afternoon, evidently
getting prepared to kill Queal on
hour later, when in walked Queal,
Shang Foster was surprised.
He didn't look for such a turn OF
affairs. He turned 70 meet
Queal and reached for his gun,
but he was too late. Queal had
already pulled his gun and TAX
ing quich aim shot the man over
the heart, killing him instantly.
| Queal then walked from the
tent, his revolver smoking in his
hand, then he took to the woods
He was overtaken by a posse
and was arrested, making no re-
sistance. He was tried, the best
legal talent from Bismarck and
other places being secured for his
defense. The Jury brought in a
verdict OF guilty and the man
was sentenced to serve four years
in the penitentiary for his crime.
He served two years, when his
uncle, a wealthy lumber mer-
chant from Minneapolis, was in
strumental in securing his par

popular this season. One is, 1.-The Doc

is, 1.-THE Undertow," by the Rev. R. E.

great book for our ministers this fall
Is DR.. T. G. Johnson's Life of DR.. B.
NJ Palmer, which is now out of the
press, and ready for delivery. 1t will
make deep and lifelong impression
on any minister of Christ, and set him
on right ways as to many important
things. If the session of his church has
not presented it to him Chat is thrown

son, or brother or sister, why any reader
of this paragraph can attend to it-just

Another fine book for the minister, is

and elevate the public prayers of your
minister, and give him many subjects
