Miss Mary Lachnit came up from Co.

Geo. Feringher had his hand badly
bruised il a corn shelter Wednesday and
had to have one of his fingers removed
at the first joint.
Mrs. Jos. DINER underwent q serious
operation at the Columbus hospital
Tuesday morning and while still very
week, is getting along much better than
was expected.
Rev. Father Kuzer went down to Col

Bruno who is in the hospital at that
place. The Brother was operated on
Wednesday of last week for appendicitis
and at present ne is getting along nicely.
Master Jean McKillip went to Omaha
today to visit his grandmother, Mrs.
Hale for a few weeks until his parents
are settled in their new home. Mr.. and
Mrs. McKillip are now packing up and
expect to leave for Colorado next week.
We notice in the Wayne Democrat
that Patrick Coleman, of that place, fell

Mr.. Coleman formerly lived in the st,

Heis seventy years of age.
Business being dull in other lines,
some of Columbus professional jokers
are amusing themselves by writing
threatening letters to some of the lead
ing citizens of that place, demanding
money under penalty of death. The
money was not forthcoming but if it was,
it would probably be expended for drinks
for the crowd.
We judge from a postal received from
DR.. Condor who is now in California
that his thoughts are fondly turning
back to good old Nebraska. California
is all right as q show place, but it takes
something more substantial than big
trees and 3x4 fruit ranches to satisfy one
who has spent over twenty years among
Nebraska's broad fields and herds of cat

MAY BE FORCED TO
TELL WHOLE STORY
CHIEF OF POLICE GRANT INouls-
TIVE ABOUT STATEMENTS
MADE BY "PEARL" CONCERNING
POLICE FoRcE-PossIBLE WIT
NESS WILL BE CALLED.

1t is possible that the statement
which Pearl Brennan, known only as
Pearl" is credited with making in
a Moorhead saloon yesterday, will be
the ground for a little investigation.
When Officer Pat Grant reported at
the headquarters this morning, he
told of the woman's statement that
she had every member OF the force
ON her staff" Every police officer
who heard of 1t was indignant.
The chief, however, appeared very
inquisitive, and regretted that the wo-
man was not in court this morning to
tell all about it. However, the police
know persons VINO heard her make the
statement and they may be asked
what light they can throw on the
subject.

Guilty Of Grand Lareeny--Don't
Realize Seriousness.

Little Lucille Larson, mite OF a
girl who no one would take for over

she is over that, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Martin Ryan yesterday af-

the charge of grand larceny and there
was no alternative but to send i1er to
the district court The case Of the
girl melted more than ordinary sym
pathy among the court attaches. The
girl has relatives residing at James
town, who it is believed will come to
her rescue. In the meantime work
ing girl. from whom the Larson girl
stole over $40 is forced to suffer the

in the police court that a subscription
be taken to restore to her the money
which she had saved but which mas

PLENTY OF MONEY
TO HANDLE CROPS
TIME IS COMING WHEN THIS
STATE WILL HAVE ENOUGH
MONEY TO MARKET ALI IT'S
CROP WITHOUT ASSISTANCE
FROM THE EAST.

That the time is fast approaching
when North Dakota will be able I'd
handle its crops each fall without
having to call on the east for a cent
of money is the opinion OF Fargo
bankers. Each year they have to ask
for less and with the biggest crop OF
recent years throughout the west
this year very little money has been
received from the east.
This is just one more indication Of
the remarkable financial progress OF
the northwest in general and North
Dakota in particular" said a promi-
nent banker of the city this morning.
"A few years ago the farms of the
state were heavily mortgaged with
eastern money. Notes and interest
were due each fall and the farmer
was compelled to rush his crop to
market the minute 1t was harvested
in order to meet this paper.
"Bountiful crops and good prices
during the past few years has done
much TO relieve this. Although there
is still a lot of eastern money in
vested in farm mortgages in this state
they are fast being paid off and hun
dTeds OF farms which were mort
gagged heavily few years ago are
now free from debt.
Kept In Local Banks.
1.-THE money which formerly went
east to pay interest and principal on
mortgages is now being kept in local
banks or used to purchase more land.
or invested in the growing industries
of tne state. This means that the
state is fast approaching the time
when it will have plenty OF money to
carry on its work and development.
'In the past few years and even UP
to last year a certain tightening of
the money market has been apparent
but this year there will be no short
age OF money and no scarcity even
of the small bills Of ordinary use dur
ing the crop moving period.
up to this time the crop has been
harvested so slowly that the demand
Of country banks for money has been
hardly up to the usual figure"
Few Banks Comply.
Dispatches from Washington by AS
ISOLATED Press state that only 204 of
the 1000 national banks Of the country
have complied with the recent request
Of Comptroller OF the Currency Muir
ray to take out more SIS notes. Comp
troller Murray made the request in
the belief that the crop moving period
would see q great scarcity of these
small bills in ordinary circulation. It
Is apparent, however, that the banks
do not fear such shortage and do
not believe it necessary to increase
their supply of small bills.
Thus far there has been but one city
IN the country, Washington, which has
under the provisions of the
Aldrich- Vreeland emergency currency
bill, passed two years ago. The bank
srs of Minneapolis say that conditions
throughout the country are so salts
