a saddle horse and start in pursuit,
but after sizing up the gait the team
had taken, he knew it meant a long,
tiresome ride, so his automobile was
brought into use and the frightened
team rounded up and caught a few
miles from the place. Chris came on

The big Tri-State Grain and Stock

The men who really mean business
were there in almost as great num-

er of the class who usually come for
a good time.
The inability of James J. Hill to
keep his appointment was a great dis
appointment. MI. Hill wired from the
East that it would be impossible for
him to come, as he was detained on
important railway matters.
The resolutions committee an
nounced that two of the matters to
be reported are recommendations
that North Dakota enact a measure
providing for elevator inspectors to
work in this state and with the North
Dakota members of the Minnesota

The resolutions will also request the
legislature of Minnesota to pass a law
requiring all grain boards of trade and
grain commissions in that state to
keep their proceedings and books open
as matters of public record.

News Of the Week From vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
MISREPRESENTATION OF FUNDS
Retiring State Treasurer Placed Un-
der Arrest-Shortaae After.
warde Made Good.

The retiring state treasurer, G.
Luther Bickford, vas arrested shartly
after the issuance of a warrant charg-
ing him with the misrepresentation of a
sum said to be in the neighborhood of
$4,000. He was taken into custody as
he came down stairs from the senate
balcony at Bismarck, following a con-
sultation with friends.
Mr.. Bickford recently was accused
Of placing state funds in banks Of the
state that did not furnish sufficient
guarantee in the form of bonds and a
few, days ago a member of the house
introduced a resolution, which was
adopted. calling for an investigation of
the affairs of the state t~reasurer's of.
fee.
About two weeks ago, it is alleged,
when the retiring state treasurer was
checked out in favor of Gunder Olson
of Grafton it was found that a GER.
tificate OF deposit was held by the of.
flee for $4,000, that amount Of cash
having been deposited in the Bowbells
State bank, Of which Mr.. Bedford is
owner, over and above the amount Of
security furnished by the bank. The
state auditing board did the checking.
and State Bank Examiner knudson,
who has been aiding in the work, re-
turned to Bismarck to help complete
the auditing.
The warrant was worn out by
States Attorney w. l.. Smith of Bur.
leigh county.
Second Warrant Is Issued.
A second warrant was issued by At
torney General Miller and accuses
Bickford with the transportation of
$60,40O of the states funds. This
warrant was also placed in the hands
of Sheriff Barnes and served on Bick-
ford.
Friends of Bickford, who have been
engaged during the past two or three
weeks in an effort to raise the money
in question, declare that the action by
the county of Burleigh is a political
move and Bickford himself makes the
same assertion.
Mrs. Bickford is almost Frustrated
at the arrest of her husband, although
she has borne up we'll heretofore under
the stigma of threatened legislative
investigation and exposure. Certif-
Gates of deposit that have been placed
In the Office of the treasurer bear
dates up to within the last few days
Of Bickford's administration, $4,000
Of them, it is understood, being dated
Dec. IA.
It is impossible to determine on just
what dates the money was actually
removed from the Office, although
last June the bonding company noti-
fed the state auditing board that
there were certain irregularities in
connection with the administration of
affairs.
In the primary election of last June,
when Bickford was defeated for re-
nomination by Gunder Olson, it was
charged that such Irregularities ex-
listed, but they were fatty denied.

SHORTAGE IS MADE GOOD
Retiring State Treasurer Replaces Al.
legged Deficit.

Following the reorganization of the
First State bank of Bowbells, certid.
Gates of deposit in the Office of the
state treasurer, given by that bank,
were taken up and a total of $60.691. 81
was turned over to Gunder Olson, the
new treasurer. Payment was made at
noon. This places on the treasurer
ship situation a new phase that may
prove extremely interesting.
The certificates of deposit taken up
by the recognized bank we're those
involved in charges brought against
G. L. Bickford, retiring treasurer, who
was arrested. The fact that they have
been made good, it is declared by
Bickford's friends, does away with the
charge of embezzlement that vas pre-
ferred, as no actual shortage exists.
The attorney general, at the instance
Of whom one of the warrants was is
sued, says, however, that prosecution
will be attempted.
In q resolution adopted by the house
the committee authorized to conduct
an investigation into the affairs of the
state treasurer's Office was empowered
to 90 back into the administration Of
that Office for a period of eight years.
The examination is to be as complete
as possible, and q request is made for
a report covering the manner in which
deposits have been made with banks
during that time.
