List Of Buyers

Bowbells. N. D., Jan. 1.-THE Bow
bells Tribune says:
G. L. and A. B. Bickford sold the
First State bank of Bowbells on Mon
day to S. w. and Walter Bond Of
Minot, Geo. H. Phelps OF Fargo, Sen.
III. H. steele Of Mohall, John o. Han
chett of Harvey, Thomas Marshall Of
Cakes, and several others. The deal
is not fully completed, and it is not
known how much stock each member
of the corporation will hold. A meet
ing will be held at Bismarck the latter
part of the week at which meeting the
stockholders will elect their officers,
appoint q cashier, and transact such
other business as may come up, and
The Tribune will next week give the
full particulars of the organization.
1t is stated that the state had $685.
400 desposited in this bank, or $50, 400
more than was authorized by law. The
state had no security for the $50, 400,
and when State Treasurer G. L. Bick-
ford turned the office over to the new
treasurer, this amount was at once de-
manded to be returned to the state
treasury. The bank was unable TO
comply with the demand and the mat
ter took on a decidedly serious turn.
Friends Of Mr. Bickford came valiant
ly to his rescue and the money was
replaced with the state treasury Mr..
Bickford turned over his entire hold
ings, including his interest in the First
State bank and lands in return for
their helping him out.
The Bickfords now have absolutely
no interest in the bank, and 1t is not
known what their plans are for the
future, though it is reported that they
intend to leave the city as soon as the
affairs of the bank are settled and the
books are checked up.
After the bank is reorganized it will
be one of the strongest In the state.
Practically all the big moneyed men
of northwestern North Dakota will hold
stock. The above named gentlemen will
In all probability come in, and it may
be that some Minnesota and Iowa
capital will also be used, but nothing
certain will be known until the meet
ing In Bismarck. 1t is very likely that

Bismarck. N. D., Jan. 14-Following
is some information concerning the

not important, may prove interesting
to those having occasion to read this
report:
The smallest claim fled is in favor
Of Standing Cloud, Graham's Island,
for a broncho appraised at $50, which

$25 by the state.
The largest claims fled are as fol-
lows:
Frank Dean, Fullerton, for the de-
struction of fourteen horses which were
appraised at a total Of $1,000, which
entities the owner to the payment of
$685. by the state.
G. S. Lewis, Mylo. for the destruc-
tion of thirteen horses which were APP
praised AT a total Of 1895. which en-
titles the owner to the payment of
$3.50 by the state. Difference of in
demnity in two cases above caused by
appraisement Of horses singly.)
The most peculiar condition shown
is the one in Burke county. Ninety
nine individual cases are filed with the
state auditor showing the destruction
of III horses-all at Portal. The APP
praised value of the III horses is $14,-
355, which shows the state liable to
indemnity in the amount of $5,64S.
This condition is probably caused by
