Taft is suffering from a severely
strained right ankle. Despite the ex-
cruciating pain which was evidenced
by decided limp and facial grimaces

Second ANNUAL Billings COUNTY FAIR
BR0T To SUCCESSFUL CLOSE SATURDAY

Beach, N. D., July 23.-(SpeciaD.-
The Interstate Fair association OF Bill
lings county closed It's gates tonight
on the fair for 1910 after three days
of very successful entertainment.
Some fine specimens of grains and
grasses were on exhibition, and very
good display of grains, seeds, ETC.,
could be found in the agricultural
hall. The ladies' department., as Is
usually the case at fairs where the
spirit Of contest is waged, was really
the best ratro1ized department on the
grounds, and many articles OF their
handiwOrk were in evidence.
Some fine specimens of horses were
to be seen in the draft side of the
stables, and emphasizes the fact that
the farmer of western North Dakota
is looking after the breeding of horses
for future use.
Agricultural implements, gasoline
engines for farm use, new attachments
for threshing machines and labor say.
ing machinery for the harvest field all
formed part of the fair and attracted
their share of attention and comment.
The race program was confined In
the main to local horses, but created
considerable interest.
Today the association had as it's
guest Governor Burke, who gave a
very interesting address at the grand
stand just after dinner. The wind
was blowing almost gale and speak
ing in the open air was difficult, but
his remarks were fitting and greatly
enjoyed. Intelligent farming co1ser.
vation of the resources of the state
and the planting of trees were the
main topics Of the discussion. This
was his first visit to Beach and the
Golden Valley, but it is safe to say
that the development and progress in
evidence on every hand left good
impression with the governor.
The attendance was good each day
and the fair was financial success,
as we'll as from the standpoint of en-
tertainment and instruction.

Louisville, KY, July 23.-John W
Barr, president of the Fidelity Trust
company, admitted late this afternoon
that the entire surplus of the com
pany, 81 LAC, 900, had been stolen. This
is supposed to represent the shortage
of Assistant Secretary Ropke, now in
Jail here.
August Ropke was the assistant sec.
retary and general bookkeeper of the
Fidenty Trust company, perhaps the
sOundest financial concern in Louis
Vile, and believed to have been the
first trust company organized west of
Pittsburg. He had been In the en-
pioye of the concern eighteen years,
and because of his splendid work on
the books and his shrewdness in hand
ling deals for the bank, gained the
confidence of the officials years ago.
About two weeks ago a shortage of
$4,000 was accidentally discovered by
one of Ropke's assistants and the mat
ter was reported to his superiors.
This resulted in Ropke's arrest and
his Incarceration on the charge Of
embezzlement. He was sent to Jail
in default of $25, 900 bail and firm of
Chicago experts were put to work on
his books. The shortage grew daily
until it reached the stupenduous
amount reported at special Meeting
of stockholders held late this after
noon.
Some of Ropke's property has been
recovered and turned over to the bank.
The Fidelity Trust company recently
issued $1,O0O,0OO stock to make good
the stolen money.
Ropke is said to have been a heavy
speculator.
