BANKS SCRAP OVER DEPOSITS.
Clash In Stark County Aired in the
Courts.

The Merchants National Bank of
Dickinson has secured writ of pro-
hibition from Judge w. c. Crawford
Of the Tenth district compelling John
Riesback, treasurer of Stark county,
to appear on Feb. 6, to show cause
why he should not be prevented from
depositing the county money in the
four banks designated by the commits
sioners at the annual meeting two
weeks ago as county depositors.
The action is an important one as
affecting many banks in North Da-
kota, and is brought on three grounds:
First, that the law which states that
the county shall advertise for bids
and proposals from banks for deposit
tories. was disregarded; second. that
the county commissioners exceeded
their authority in arbitrarily cutting
OFF four of the county banks from re-
ceiving any Of the county money;
third, that the board had no right to
refuse the bids Of any bank In the
county, provided the bonds were sat
isfactory and the condition of the
banks safe.
The banks favored by the commits
sioners were the First National of
Dickinson, State Bank Of Gladstone,
State Bank of Taylor and the Mer-
chants State Bank of Richardton. The
four banks which appear as plaintiffs
the the Merchants National and the
Dakota National Of Dickinson, the
State Bank of Belfield and the State
Bank of Richardton.
The question has never been raised
before in the state.

TRAFFIC REVIVAL.

Capt. I. P. Baker of Bismarck has
announced that he will put on fleet
of boats to ply the Missouri as far up
the river as Williston, and it is pre-
dicted that the coming summer will
see more river navigation than has
been known for decade.
The railroads seem powerless to
transport the crops from this section,
and the river barges will no doubt
play an important part in tho develop
ment Of the country.

A cockroach Remedy.

A housekeeper who was recon.
mended to try cucumber Feelings as a
remedy for cockroaches strewed the
floor with pieces of the peel cut not
very thin and watched the sequel.
the pests covered the peel in a short
time so that it could not be seen, so
voraciously were they engaged in
sucking the poisonous moisture from
it. The second night that this was
tried the number of cockroaches was
reduced to quarter and none were
left on the third night.

Fort Dodge. Iowa, Jan. 28.-Several
counterfeit half dollars have been
found in circulation in this city. They
are of the coinage of 1907 and bear
almost every indication of being genu-

TO PROSECUTE BANKERS.
Attorney General Instructed to Probe
Affairs of Jones Bank.

The state banking board met at
Bismarck and instructed the attorney
general to prosecute the Barton State
bank, one Of Andy Jones' banks,
which recently failed and wound up
its affairs. 1t appears from the re-
port of Examiner Knudson that Jones
had arrogated to himself all of the
powers Of the board on credits by
amending the bylaws and handled
the credit of the bank himself. Just
before he left he filled the bank with
worthless paper which could not be
verified off hand, and checked against
it, breaking the bank.

the house saying. mamma. Willie pick
ed up some candy in the alley and now
he's sick" The mother rushed out and
there found her son to be in critical
condition. DR.. Doolittle was summoned
and by making a hurry up trip and
working over the little one for sew

Editor Gary TIMES, Dear Sir: VIII
you kindly announce in the columns of

Gary tonight on account of a sudden
illness. You can say for me tina. =
will be in Gary just as soon as 1 am
able to and we will have a rousing

I want to make the following state
ment: I hope that every Hungarian
in Gary will vote the republican tick

originally republicans and never voted
the democratic ticket. Not only this,
but at the head Of the republican ticket
Is man whose name is a sufficient
guarantee that the Hungarians of Gary
will be treated fairly. This we can
not say of the democratic ticket. We
have had enough bitter experience
with them in the past. Hungarians

over 200 members of the regular
democratic party gathered at Assemo-
~ hall and listened to a number Of
rousing speeches made IN the interest
of William c. Crolius and the balance
OF the candidates on the democratic
ticket in Gary.
Among the speakers of note were
Representative John o. Rhuby of Chi
cago who address the audience in the
Bohemian language; ex-Congrsssman
Edward Stack Of Joliet, and Repre-
sentative John Czekalo. who talked in
the Polish tongue. All of the above
speakers said that they had personally
known Mr.. Crolius for years and could
vcuch for his integrity. They also told
of Mr. Crolius splendid record when
serving as mayor of Joliet.
Mr.. Croliuz was the next speaker and
said he was very deeply moved at the
way his friends had stood by him at
the tine when such false and malign-
ing accusations had been made against
his character by the Knots faction.
All I can say is that they are not
true" said Mr. Croiius. My record
all through my life has been clean and
is open to inspection. You can never
whiten your own character by defam-
ing to treat those false accusations by
taking off my coat. rolling up my
sleeves and striking at them with a
big bunch Of silence"
If Defeated, Work for Brennan.
MI Crolius complimented the press
for the honest and square deal that
they had given to him.
when reforms are to be introduced
they can only be introduced by the
press. and If they are honest in their
convictions much good can be done by
them and vice and corruption can be
driven from the city. We must put
forth a platform" continued Mr.. CroI-
Jus. that is broad enough for every
body to stand on. Let US go into the
campaign, all hands, and work for the
success of the party. II we are de-
feated let Us take off our coats and
work for the success of those men who
stand for a clean city administration
: and for the progress and advancement
of the city. no matter what his party
affiliations may be"
The various candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket were present and mace
short addresses Among them was J.
E. Grimes. candidate for clerk, and e
Braddock and Philip McCaffery. can
didates for alderman at-large.
In speaking Of what Mr.. Knots had
claimed he had done for the city OF
Gary. Mr.. Braddock said that worthy
gentleman of the underworld" had
given himself credit for everything
with the exception of cleaning out the
blind pigs and vicious dives.
