M|N0T'S first
BANKER DEAD
e. Ashley Mears, Founder Of the
Bank Of Minot, Passes Away in a
sanitarium in Minneapolis at the
81
Age of ".

E. Ashley Mears, who founded the
Bank of ,Minot and the First National
Bank Of this city back in the early
eighties, when Minot was but q cow
coy village, died Saturday at Mound
View sanitarium in Minneapolis at
the age OF p years.
Ashley Mears is remembered by
every one of our ole timers, many of
whom were victims of his J. Rufus
Wallingford methods. He started
Minot's first bank in the old frame
building at the corner of Main and
Third streets, now occupied by James
Johnson, attorney. The old vault, as
good as ever, can still be seen in the
building, and until a short time ago,
the glass with the words 'Bank Of
Minot," could be seen over the door.
Here the financier planned great
things and laid the foundation for
shearing many sheep which he did
with alacrfty At the time, his meth.
DDS were considered anything hit
conservative and he must have known
that his financial bark was doom ed
to 60 on the. rocks. Some believe
however, that had Mears projectet
his schemes ten or fifteen years lat
err, he might have become one Of the
millionaires of the state instead OF
dying in sanitaritlm almost penri-
less. Be that as 1t may, the bank
failed and many Of the old timers

We're severely crippled for the time
but they learned a lesson in finance
that served them we'll all of these
years. The First National bank was
later moved down to the corner now
occupied by the Second National bank
and Jos. Roach was appointed the re.
ceiver. Mr.. Reached picked up what
he could of the wreckage from the
turbulent seas and started the Great
Northern bank, later known as the
Second National bank, one of the sol
idest institutions in western North
Dakota today.
Mears came to North Dakota from
Ipswich, S.. d., in 1887 and started
the Bank OF Minot. Two years later,
he organized the First National Bank
CT Minot. both of these Institutions
now being defunct. He built the
Baptist church on Third street. He
sold his holdings here to Fl. F. Sal
yards, who came from Chicago clear
to Minot to get p|ucked. Interested
with Salyards were Sam L. Page and
one Arnold. Mears then went to
Fargo where he organized the Dakota
National bank which went to the wall
shortly after the big brown stone
structure was DESTROYED by fire. For
several years he was heard from oc-
casionally down in Arkansas. where
he pulled off some financial stunt with
regularity.'

ancially.

The Minot band needs the support
OF all OF the citizens of Minot. In
the first place, the band owes some
money that ought to be paid. w. B.
1Halsey, the leader, has bought some,
thing like $500 worth of music which
he has paid for with his own money.
He ought to be reimbursed. Then
there are other bills that the band IL
expected to pay. The band needs
new uniforms and some new instru-
ments.
The band at present is allowed to
practice in the Blakey block, but
there is no telling how soon it Will
have to look for new quarters.
Minot will have band, but unless
the citizens come thru soon, the me-
sicians will form union and then II
will cost So for each musician when
ever the band is called out.
The band is anxious for the school
DCdTu W u0lcIlu1uS "uOLAOA W wv
the concerts are to be held on tie
school lawn this season or not.
The Metropolitan band Is oil right.
DR.. Storrs, musical critic OF the Min
neapolis Tribune, passed thru Minot
Recently and CHANGED to hear the
band play at Spring Lake Park. 10
was surprised at the manner in which
the members interpreted the high
class music and in the Tribune spok',
most favorably Of our local organiza-
ton.
Williston has raised $4,000 FOR its
band this season. The leader of that
band gets s1OO a month Minot
should do as we'll by her band 2s
the little city on the Missouri does.

WARD COUNTY HAS SETTLED
WITH N0UNTRA|L FOR $8,77l
Ward County Gets $s,771-comm's-
sioners Now Able to make Sett'e
ment With Other Counties.

At last Ward county has settled
with Mountrail county The commas
sioners of both counties have been IN
session in this city during the past
three days and late this afternoon,
the Mountrail county dads agreed to
give Ward county in lieu Of the 1udg-
ment for 5000. IS, which amount was
granted by the court, the sum OF 50
"a, that portion Of the delinquent
taxes of Mountrail county collected
BY Ward county, and IN additional
sum OF $1,000 making total OF $N7l.
When Mountrail county was set OIL
from Ward county July 1, 1909, the
delinquent taxes due In Mountrall
county amounted to $4,000. OF this
amount Ward county has collected
s7771. AS the law 10 not very spe-
cific on the subject, 1t is doubtful II
Mountrail county coud have ever col
lected the delinquent taxes from this
county. ,s=
while the settlement is not entirely
satisfactory to the commissioners OF
Mountrail county, all concerned seem
to be glad that the matter has final
II been disposed Of.
Ward county can now go ahead
with It's settlements with Burke and
fRenville counties.
Assistant States Attorney Bradford
appeared before the two boards and
both himself and MT. Nash deserve
much credit for the settlement, which
Is rather favorable to this county

TWO BABIES BURNED TO DEATH

turns and l9nites-M other In Pre-
carious Condition.

The two months old bay boy IF
Mr.. and Mrs. Pearl Wardlow Of
White Earth, died Monday night, FIVE
hours after one Of the most horrible
accidents in the history of that vii
lage, and the two year baby girl, was
so seriously burned that she died
later. The attending physician 1old
out no hopes for the recovery of the
child. The mother, in trying to
save her babes. was severely burned
from the hips down and may not re-
cover.
The little girl was playing with a
can Of gasoline Monday afternoon
when it was overturned. The gaso-
hne soon igntted from the fire in the
stove and the room was at once a
mass Of flames. The mother seeing
her little ones in peril, rushel into
what seemed to be sure death for
them all and carried the little chill
dren out Of the house, but not until
the bodies of the children were hor-
rtbly cooked. The mother herself
was so badly burned that for a time
her life was almost despaired Of.
Mr.. Wardlow is White Earth's bar
Der.
A later report from White Earth
states that the funeral of both chill
dren was held Wednesday. Mrs.
Wardlow is growing weaker and her
death Is expected momentarily.
Mrs. Wardlow was In the yarG
when the accident occurred, and
rushed into the flames bringing her
little babe out of the building. Her
own clothing caught fire and she
threw herself in the mud. Before
the flames were extinguished, she was
terribly burned about the hips, Shout
ders and face. A neighbor rushed
into the house on his hand and knees
and brought the little girl out, more
dead than alive.
The house which is owned by Arne
Amundson, was damaged conslder-
ably.

4 MERE WOMAN
 PUTS 0NE OVER
0uggenheIms by Buying tho Key to Flat Creek, Whore the
 Iattor Arc Dredging

The Guggenheim options on Otter creek arc now hanging fire, not in any way due to the fact that the big syndicate is unwilling to option all the ground in sight on that creek, but that the owners are all making big money at the present time, and are not at all anxious to sell. They arc now asking S800,00O from the Gug- genheims for their ground, and the latter recognizes that it is quite useless to offer less at the present time. The Guggenheims do not conceal their anxiety to close a deal but the price asked they state, while it may be war ranted by the success which is at tending the work which the pres cnt owners are doing. is out of the question as far as they are con cerned.
 Mrs. Fred Carter is reported to have put one over the Guggcn- helmS on Flat creek on what they nav" always regarded as most de- Sirablc ground. She purchased two associations on Flat creek from Joe Mucklrr. The Guggs had h"rn haggling over the price cv- or sine" they arrived on the ground. and this cnlcrpri. ing lady closed the deal over their heads last week. The consideration in volv"d amounts tn several thou sand dollars in cash and the ground is property which the Gug- g"nheimS simply must have in order tn move on thc ground own cd by them highnr up inc creek
 Mrs. Carter declares that if ihcy ar" grinG In have the ground thpy will pay her her price. and that she has made very Shrewd buy Is conceded on all sides. Her pric" was several thousand dol lars over Inc best offered by the GuGgS. but ii is believed that thc latt"r did not think that if was at all possible for another pur- chaser to arrive upon inc scene.
 Tn" Guggcnhpim drrdye which IS now turning over on Flat crock IS working on ground which is ph"nnm"nally rich. and a very larg" rl"an-un is expected. Pan nln@s taken show lhai fhcv arc now in som" of Inc best ground in tn" "nfir" creek. and tn" clean 'Uns will hr q fair lest of lhc best ihai can hr expected.
