WAS
BOUND over
Is HELD TO FEDERAL COURT FOR
FORGERY OF POSTAL
CERTIFICATE,

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 17.--Private
Slower of Co.. D at Fort Lincoln, who
was arrested several days ago on the
charge of forgery when trying to cash
two postal savings certificates at the
local postoffice, was given a hearing
before United States Commissioner
Mckenzie and was bound over to the
United States court.
The act which got young Slower in
to trouble, was committed Sunday,
night, Sept. !, near the road house on
the fort road. 1t is alleged that Sto-
yer hold up a farmer named w. c..
Wagner, and among other things TAX
en- from the victim, were two postal
savings certificates. On Tuesday aft
noon following, Slower, 1t is claim
ed presented the certificates at the
p~ostoffice money order window, ask
ing that they be cashed. Postal Clerk
Francis Halloran not being satisfied,
insisted that the man be identified.
Slower left saying that he would se-
cure some one for the purpose. Chief
Mcdonald was given the case, and
taking up the statement of MI. HALO
ran that he believed the fellow to be
a soldier in citizens clothes, had lit
tie trouble in finding his man at the
fort. HaIIoran identified Slower as
the party, and a comparison of Stow
er'g writing with that OF the endorse
ment of the certificates produced
strong evidence against him. The
authorities are satisfied they have the
right man.

everything is In readiness to receive
the large gathering Of students who
assemble there every year from all
parts of the state. In order to reduce
the delays incident to getting every
one registered and started, the uni
versity authorities have decided to
open the offices for registrations four
days before the date set for the open
ing Of the college year..
Registrations will be received every
forenoon, beginning with Friday this
week, and many of the students who
live near to Grand Forks will take adj
vantage of the opportunity to get
themselves settled and ready for work
before the rush of next week.
All Of the room in the Wesley col
lege n the university dormitories
have been spoken for some time ago
and there is likely to be a scramble
for the most desirable roorning places
in the city Of Grand Forks. Advance
indications point to the fact that the
enrolment for this year will show a
comfortable increase. Inquiries for in
formation received at the registrars
office indicate that the freshmen class
alone will number over 200, and a
number of former students who have
been away from school during the past
two years by the. failures in crops are

SAYS FOREST Is
not PETRIFIED

Bismarck Tribune: A few weeks
ago Rev. j. M. Taylor OF Bismarck,
after making a trip through the bad
lands in the western part Of the state.
wrote an article especially for The
Bismarck tribune regarding the pet
rified trees he had discovered in that
section. That article was copied
quite generally by the papers of the
state, but u. f. Crawford, a brother
OF Judge Crawford and a well known
banker at Sentinel Butte. writes the
following interesting letter, claiming
that there is no petrified forest in that
section:
Sentinel Butte, N. D., Sept. IL.
1912.-There is an article going the
rounds of the state press, entitled
Rev. J.. M. Taylor. This article has
been copied by nearly all of the pa
pers in the western part of the state
and will undoubtedly do, great injus.
tice to geological truth IL allowed to

some petrified trees; more properly
speaking, silicified trees, or parts of
trees, the woody fibre of which has
been replaced by some form of quartz.
Mr.. Taylor a Y that he saw petrifed
trees on the Little Beaver which are
80 feet in diameter and which are
800 to 400 feet in length, and con-
cludes that they must belong to the
sequoia family. What Mr.. Taylor
saw was sandstone, more or less
cylindrical in form and broken into
sections, and from this fact con-
cludes that they are petriied trees.
The conclusions drawn are absurd in
the extreme. These supposed petri-
fed trees are only cylindrical bodies
OF ferruginous sandstone with no evil
dence of petrifaction or s~iliication.
He is misled by the cylindrical shape
of the sandstone. In the formation of
this sandstone sand was deposited
near the shore line and the stone re-
sulting took a concretionary form.
Sometimes sandstone thus formed
is more or less globular and some
times cylindrical.
"The territory over which Mr.. Tay-
Tor travelled shows many examples
of both the globular and cylindrical
sandstone. Some OF the cylindrical
forms may be found several yards in
length with little variation in diame-
ter. The essential fact that / wish
to get before the reader is. that such
cylindrical forms are not in any sense

Wheat Went Fifty Bushels

Beach Advance: Threshing in the

the wheat is going from twenty-five
to fifty bushels per acre and that Of
the Smith brothers between here and
Sentinel Butte average forty-nine
bushels to the acre. The lowest yield
that we have heard Of in the valley
this season is twenty-five bushels of
wheat per acre and indications are
that there is no grain in the entire
valley that will average lower than
twenty five and the most of it will
go closer to the fifty mark. The oats
is running from se~venty-five to 110
bushels which is the highest yield that
we have heard of as yet. The flax is
