Celebrate Golden Wedding Anniversary.

Overly Tribune: Overly was
the scene Monday of an itn-
portant epoch in the lives of
two of our oldest settlers, Mr..
and Mrs. Sivert Gullickson,
who on that day celebrated their
golden wedding.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gullickson were
married in far-off Norway fifty
years ago where they lived
until 1880, when they enigrat-
ed to this country, settling in
Dodge county, Minnesota,
where they lived for seven
years. Twenty-one years ago
this couple with their family of
children came to this part of
North Dakota, and have been
among that hardy band of
pioneers who have done so
much to develop the country.
They are the parents of six
children, one daughter-Mrs.
Phil Halls of Willow City, and
five sons-Ole, Nels, Severt,
Alec, and Gullick. The boys
are among the largest land
owners about Overly, having
in the neighborhood of $500
acres of the best farming land
in Bottineau and Rolette coun-
ties.
Some time ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Gullickson retired from farm
life and are now enjoying a
long vacation in a comfortable
home in this city. >"
On Monday all their children
and grandchildren were with
them and the old people re-
ceived from them a beautiful
gold watch and chain apiece,
while the old friends and
neighbors gave them a purse
of gold .s. .:..
The Tribune joins the many
friends of this worthy couple
in wishing them many more
happy anniversary days.

ing and the bank. has been
placed in the hands of George
w. Swords of Minot as receiver.
The following special from
the Grand Forks Herald OF
Tuesday tells of the closing OF
the bank:
The affairs of the First
National bank of Rugby OF
which Andy Jones was cashier,
are in a bad tangle according to
information received in Grand
Forks last evening. The doors
of the bank were closed yester-
day by Dr. |. n. Mcbride,
president, acting upon or
der of the board of directors,
and the comptroller of the cur
rency has appointed George w.
Swords of Minot as receiver.
Cashier Andy Jones has been
gone for a week and the Off
cials of the bank state that they
have not heard from him and
do not know where he has
gone. They believed when he
went away that he was goin g
east to seek to straighten out
the tangled condition of the
bank S assets.
The immediate cause of the
closing of the bank was the
fact that some notes were pre-
sented for payment that were
not of record at the bank. The
notes had been given by Jones
as a private individual and had
been endorsed by him as a
cashier.
Just how badly the bank is
involved is problematical. II
the bank is to be held respon-
sible for all the paper issued by
t Jones it is feared that it will
! come out of the receivership in
bad shape.
The bank had a capital stock
of $25, 600 and it's last state
ment showed deposits OF
5000, 900.
Jones has been mayor of
Rugby. He was interested in
lands and was reputed to be
wealthy. He was a resident of
Grand Forks a few years ago
and is we'll known in the state.
The bank was inspected by
an examiner about two weeks
ago and at that time it was
stated that certain irregulari-
ties were discovered which
would mean the closing of the
insti tuition.

made without the slightest mishap.
