soon apprehended and held for the

with blood. He was given immediate
trial, and as result, while but six

WHO MADE A HURRIED DE-

CITY SATURDAY NIGHT WERE

Sheriff McGillis went to Dickinson
Sunday to bring back Chas. Graves,
who left this city Saturday night with
Mrs. Dominick Miller, also of this city,
DESERVING his own wife and children.
Policeman Ely wired Saturday night
to the Dickinson police to arrest the
pair upon their arrival. Sheriff Hart
ung was on the lookout for theim and
when they reached Dickinson he took
them from the train and held them for
the arrival of Sheriff McGillis.
The couple told the sheriff at Dick
inson that there was nothing in the
story that they had eloped-they had
simply met on the train by accident.
However, Sheriff McGillis will return
with them this afternoon, and it is
probable Mrs. Graves will prefer a
charge of desertion against her hus,

Will DESIGNATE
DEPOSITARIES TODAY
BOARD WILL MEET TODAY FOR
THE PURPOSE OF DECIDING
WHICH BANKS WILL HAVE USE
OF STATE MONEY DURING
NEXT YEAR.

The state board of auditors meets
today for the purpose of designating
the state depositaries for the next two
years.
The board consists Of Secretary of
State Blaisdell, State Auditor Holmes
and Attorney General McCue-who
act in conjunction with the governor.
Various ideas as to the proper poll
cy to be pursued prevail. Some argue
that a dozen depositaries are enough,
others that one for each county is
more than sufficient.
Yet again the view is held that any
good bank of small capital stock max
ing application for state monies should
receive equal consideration with the
larger capitalized banks, as long as
the bonds are sufficient to protect the
interests of the state.
1t appears that the mere designation
of a county bank as state deposit
tary in itself is desirable from an adj
vertising point of view, which prob
ably accounts for the several hundred
applications now in.
The outcome will be watched with
great interest throughout the state.
