MOTHER FORGED CHECK
Another kopperdahI Boy Bobs Up
Again With an Alleged Forged
Check--Paid $40.

A Kopperdahl boy has again appear
ed on the scene with an alleged forg-
ed check and the police hooe they are
on his trail. The bad paper which was
drawn in favor of the boys mother.
ostensibly by Mrs. j. @. Olson. for $780,
70, on a check blank of the First State
bank Of Moo-head. under date Oct. 6,
came to light day or two ago and is
now in the hands of Chief Malvey. The
boys mother, who is at present in
Montana, has an account with one of
the local grocery stores and it was at
this store the check was rendered to
pay an account and 1t is alleged that
the son was given about $40 in change.
the trick he wanted to turn There
are two or three Kopperdahl boys, one
now serving a term in the North Da-
kota reform school and one was in
trouble in worthless check matter
a few weeks ago, when leniency was
exercised, but whether this last trick
which has been turned was done by the
same party is not quite clear. The
more recent check was very carelessly
drawn and the police are amazed that
an experienced business house should
nave given it any credence whatever
after the first glance, especially after
the publicity which was given to the
bad check case a few weeks ago 1t
is presumed that the beneficiary of
this last check has flown the country.

SCHOOL LEVY IS LESS
Budget Calls for $25,500 of Which
$4,000 Will BE Required in
Special Taxes.

The estimated cost of maintaining
the public schools of Moorhead for
the current year, as per the budget
compiled by the board of education is
$25.53O of which $4,000 will have to be
raised by special levy, $1,000 less than
last year. The receipts from ap-
portionment, high school state aid,
fines, ETC., are estimated to figure up
to $1,000. In addition to this there is
a balance in the hands of the treasurer
of a little over $4,000. The largest
item of expenses, in the maintenance
of the schools is teachers salaries
which this year will amount to not
less than $4,000 1t has always been
the policy of Moorhead to maintain an
efficient teaching force and pay them
well for their services and that Is the
reason the schools here rank SO much
higher than so many cities of similar
and even larger populations in the Red
river valley. Moorhead being the seat
of state normal school and large
Lutheran college taking care of con-
siderably over 1900 students annually
1t would never do TO allow the public
schools to be the least inferior.
The physical condition of the Moor
head schools is admirable, the build
ings have been modernized in the way
of sanitary and ventilating systems
and there is amply supply of cement
tile sidewalks about the buildings.
The school Ievies for the past four
years have been as follows: 1897, $780,,
500; 1908, $4,000; 1909, $4,000; 1910,
$4,000

DEATH BEATS CUPID.
Electrical Engineer Dies in Harrisburg
While Waiting for Bride to Be.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 19.--Informa-
ton has reached the city of a great
sorrow which has entered the life of
Miss Emma Stanghor, one of the pop
ular young women of the city. She
left here a few days ago for Harris
burg. Pa, where she expected to marry
Frank e. Bailey. Word has been re-
ceived that Mr. Bailey died suddenly
of heart disease in a Harrisburg hotel
while awaiting the arrival of his bride
to be.
He was an electrical engineer who
stood high in his profession. He made
the first dynamo at Cornell university
and had installed many electric light
plants, including one at the White
House at the national capital. He also
was the inventor of an automatic oil
ing system. He met Miss Stanghor
several years ago while visiting Sioux
Falls
1t is a strange coincidence that two
years ago sister of Miss Stanghor
suffered a similar bereavement, the
man to whom she was to be married
dying at Santa Fe, N M, two months
before the date fixed for the wedding.
This sister then became a trained
nurse, and Miss Emma Stanghor also
will become a trained nurse.

INTERSTATE BODY
TO HEAR 500 CASE
COMMERCE COM
MISSION HEARING IN FARGO
CALLED TO SETTLE CASE or
NORTHWESTERN TRAFFIC BUR-
EAU AGAINST 500 RAILROAD.

The Fargo hearing by the Interstate
Commerce Commission set for Nov. l
In the federal court room by Edward
A. Moseley, secretary of the commits
sion at washington, has been called to
consider the case of the Northwestern
Traffic bureau against the 500 rail-
road. The Northwestern Traffic bur-
eau is responsible for the hearing,
over which the commissions chief ex-
aminer, r. HI. Pugh, of washington
win preside.
Definite information concerning the
purpose of the meeting was learned
too late for publication yesterday aft
ernoon. Particulars of the case were
secured this morning showing that the
railroad is alleged to have charged the
Kuhn Milling Co. an excess rate
amounting to $3.50 on a shipment of
wild mustard seeds from Kuhn, N. D.,
to Minneapolis. Complaint was made
to the Northwestern Traffic bureau
and the matter was taken up with the
500 road for adjustment and refunding
the money. The railroad declined to
heed the demands for reparation, and
the case was brought before the Inter
state Commerce commission.
In it's contention in the matter, the
Kuhn Milling Co. claims to have been
overcharged on the shipment of mus
tard seeds, which are listed in the
same class of grain shipments of corn
and come under corn rates. The COM
mission examiner, r. H. Pugh will
hear both sides of the case and will
then likely take the matter under ad-
visement
Tt is understood from the North
western Traffic bureau that another
case may be heard at the same time,
which concerns a fruit shipment on
the Southern Pacific railroad from
Haywood, Cal, to Gardiner, Mont. The
Northwestern Traffic bureau, with
central offices in this city, handles all
cases of this nature from Minnesota
to the Pacific coast. An investigation
was made by the bureau at the in
stigation of the Kuhn Milling Co. OF
Kuhn, N. D., of the traffic rates and
papers filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission at washington,
Aug. II, by the manager, F. o. Gibbs.
About the same time the matter of the
canned fruit shipment from California
to Montana was opened and an in
vestigation begun which was also pro-
perly reported to the attention of the
commission. Both cases may be heard
in Fargo, as both are within the juris-
diction of the local offices of the
Northwestern Traffic bureau.

the sickness is perceptibly increased, /"
continued the city health officer. 1.-THE
people close up their houses and make
them air tight, allowing no fresh air
to get in. believe that the cause
of much of the sickness in the winter
among the people of the northern
States is due to the fact that their
homes are shut up so tight and that
public halls and theatres are not as
well ventilated as they should be-"
DR.. Carpenter said that this autumn
had been most healthful one, and
that the climatic conditions in North
Dakota had played very little havoc
with the peoples health. He urged
that the citizens of the city be most
careful during the coming winter
about getting plenty Of fresh air.

ed guilty to the charge of stealing
watch, chain and ring from the resi-
dence of A. e. Tullis, was tried in the
county court yesterday afternoon and
sentenced to fifteen days in the coun-
ty Jail. Hols again pleaded guilty to
the charge and stated the reason he
committed the theft, was because he
had been robbed himself and needed
the money. He converted the jewelry
into cash as soon as possible, dispos-
ing of same at Front street pawn
shop, from which place the police de-
partment was notified.
A laughable incident in the trial
yesterday was when States Attorney
Fowler asked Hols if he were the

Peter Vakovil, the Austrian charged
with the murder of Sam Beldz, the

III. F. Miller and was held to the coun-
ty court. Witnesses have been sum-
moned to appear for the coroner's in
quest at 1880 O'Clock tonight.
Vakovil has not made any attempt to
retain counsel. and it is probable that

an attorney to defend him at the time
of the trial. He is held without bonds,
not being entitled to any under the
statutes.
The name of the murdered man.
Beldz, is also spelled Ballidge.

generally is that a candidate for Judge
should stand or fall upon fitness and
qualification rather than upon any po-

they have been given no food. The
animals were so hungry when they
left the car that they began to eat the
first weeds and stuff they could reach.

Bartlett Frazier CO.: We believe

Finley Darrell & Co.: We can see
nothing in the wheat situation from a
legitimate standpoint to warrant any
material or sustained Improvement in
values.
Clement Curtis: Both wheat and
corn are on export basis and the large
short interest has been covering on
this last break We do not expect
much foreign demand and believe in
selling and think selling advisable.
