CHARGED WITH BIG THEFT
Former Teller of Chicago Subtreasury
Under Arrest.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-George W. Fitz-
gerald, a former asserting teller in
the chicago s%ubtreasury, is under ar
rest charged with the mysterious theft
of $4,000 from the subtreasury on
Feb. 10, 1907.
Fitzgerald was arrested on a bench
warrant based OF an Indictment re
turned secretly by a federal grand
jury Feb. II, 1910, and the existence
of which was suppressed by the fed,
eral authorities.
Three days after the indictment
was secretly returned and suppressed,
on Feb. 20, it was announced that the
statute of limitations had operated to
stop possible criminal action in the
peculiar case.
Coincident with this ruse by the
authorities secret service men we're
detailed to watch Fitzgerald constant
ly and make a rigid investigation of
the former teller's financial interests
and affairs.
Discoveries made by these secret
service operatives resulted in the or
der for Fitzgerald's arrest.

IN NORTH DAKOTA
Views Of the Week From VarI-
Gus Parts Of the State
SETTLERS WANT MORE Time
Those on Buford-Trenton Project Ap-
peal for Delay in Making
Their Payments.

The water users under the Blu.
ford-Trenton government irrigation
project have adopted a set of reso,
lutions similar to those adopted by
the Yellowstone Water Users associa.
ton OF Montana at a meeting held in
Buford, by reason of the cancellation
of certain water rights by the federal
authorities.
The principal purpose of the meet
ing was to determine what action
might be advisable in restoring to
landowners their water rights. The
season has been a poor one, and in or
der to alleviate the situation the wa
ter users are hopeful of securing new
rulings from the government with
reference to the payment of taxes for
the water rights and for the work of
construction, which seemingly has cost
much more than original estimates al
low for.
In December a payment is due the
government on the lands, and it is to
defer the levying of this assessment
that landowners are holding meetings.
They favor a graduated plan of pay
ing, that is, they would have the as
sessment for 1911 cover an amount
just large enough to care for the
operating expenses, and then in the
following years they would be willing
to meet an increased assessment
which would pay for the construction
work.
Settlers in the irrigated district
came with but a small amount of cap
ital. They cannot mortgage their
lands, and thus the only in
which they can secure money is on
chattles, on which they must pay IL
per cent.
One thing the settlers hope to ac-
complish is that of evading litigation
of any kind, inasmuch as any meas
ures of that nature would entail addi-
tional expense, which would only serve
to increase the hardships under which
many are now laboring.

NO APPEAL TO MOB RULE
Roosevelt Explains Doctrine of "New
~NationaIism."

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Theo-

revolution in declaring his new po-
litical creed. Neither is he making
an appeal to mob rule. In a stanch

moralities to modern conditions. He

OLDEST POSTMASTER DEAD,
North Dakotan Dies in Town That
Bears His Name.

INortn Ddkotdn LIES IN Town mat

Nearly ninety years of age and hav.
ing the distinction of being the Oldest
postmaster in the United States, Owen
Hecker, the veteran after whom the
town of Hecker was named, died from
old age.

ton of having been the oldest post
master in the United States. He was
first appointed under Cleveland's adj
ministration in 1894, in Hubbard coun-
ty, Ia, a position he held for four
years. In 1905, when the postofice at
Hecker was established, Mr.. Hecker
was appointed to hat Office. He was
elghty-four years old. He held the
office, working faithfully at his duties,
until last December, when the Office

TO ATTRACT AQUATIC FOWL
North Dakota Commissioners Would
Seed Lakes With Wild Rice.

Seed Lakes With Wild Rice.
Thomas Griffiths, a member of the
state game and fish commission,
spent a day in the vicinity of Bena,
Mimi, where he purchased 800 pounds
of wild rice seed from Indians and
will plant it in the lakes of North Da-
kota to afford protection and feed for
ducks and geese. If the experiment
proves successful the commission will
make more extensive purchases next
year and seed all the lakes which are
properly located in order to attract
geese and ducks not only to breed, but
in their flights south as cold weather
to be found in Minnesota is in the
rice beds and the North Dakotans be-
lieve their lakes can be improved
upon by growing the rice.
The North Dakota commission has
also decided to follow the Minnesota

CATTLE SHIPMENTS LIGHTER
Stock Owners in North Dakota in No
Hurry to Sell Beef.

The shipment of cattle from this
state will be somewhat smaller than
in former years owing to the fact that
farmers are cropping more of their
land than heretofore. The native
grasses are the equal if not the best in
many seasons, and the livestock own
ers say that cattle, already in splen-
did condition, will put on fat until
the middle of October, and as a rule
the late fall prices of beef are best,
hence the growers have everything to
gain by holding their shipments back.
Livestock buyers from Minnesota
lave been in the state for a month
and have bought many carloads of
beef and mutton stuff. The best beef
cattle, however, are yet to be shipped
and this is usually done by the own
ers, who like to make to trip once a
year to the cities.

Unless action is instituted by inter
ested cities to have their names placed
upon the ballot as candidates for the
county seat of Renville county, the

pose of selecting the permanent seat
of county government will be open to
all corners. Such N opinion has been
furnished the county officers in charge
of the election.
The election, it is declared, must be
held, and the question to be placed on
the ballot is: ITO select a place for
county seat of Renville county," the
voter to place the name of his selec-
ton after that question.
In Mountrail and several other
counties having similar questions, Pc
titions have been circulated to have
the m placed on the ballot. Ac-
ton in court will doubtless be resorted
to before the matter is determined and
the correct method of holding the
