GRANDIN FARM
OWNER IS DEAD

Word has been received of the death
of John Livingston Grandin, one
of the founders of the famous Grandin
farm in Trail county. Mr.. Grandin.
who at the time of his death
was rs years old, was a native of
Tidoute, Pa, but his death occurred
at Battle Creek, Mich, where he was
operated upon for stomach trouble.
Mr.. Grandin first engaged in the oil
business and it was he who located the
first well in Warren county, Pa. Lat.
err he went into the lumber and bank
ing business with his brother, w. j.
Grandin, who died a number of years
since. The brothers were successful
and amassed a fortune. In the
course of their operations they be-
came the creditors of Jay Cooke for
a large amount. When Cooke failed
following a spectacular career, a set
Element was effected between him and
the Grandin brothers by the transfer
to the latter Of 10000 acres of land
In Trail county, this state.
These events happened back in the
70's when North Dakota was regarded
the home Of the savage with no future.
The land was accepted because there
nothing else in sight. The land
visited by one of the brothers
who went back in disgust, but later
the land which was taken as al last
resort, was developed into the world
famous Grandin farm, which was
worth far in excess of the loan for
which lit was taken.
AS their land increased in value.

Chicago. Sept. 12.-Wheat: Although
wheat opened higher, following the
higher cables, it ultimately developed
a weak tone and sold lower. Cash
demand is poor, export business not
possible because of ocean freight sit
uation and movement from interior
continues on a heavy scale southwest,
west and northwest. Speculative sell
ing today has been fairly general.
ONE of the most active buyers have
unloaded and there has been more or
less short selling, We see little in
ducement on the long side of the mar
ket as yet and can only advise pur~
chases on declines. With a continued
run of the present bearish domestic
conditions sale on any sharp rallies of
cent or two seem in order.
Corn-Has been weak all day. There
has been important and fairly general
unloading of long corn, while the de-
mand has been limited. Cash corn has
declined 2 to 3 cents here and was at
n time as much as 4 cents off from
yesterdays top. Continued and unin-
~terrupted fine weather is a bear card.
Oats-Have shown much better tone
than other grains and ave not suf-
fered materially. There has not been
a great deal of selling pressure. Sales
reported were 10000 bushels. This
includes 10000 bushels for export.

SON REPRESENTS TRUST co.

B. G. Tenneson of the firm of Pierce,
Tenneson & Cupler will leave this
afternoon for Dickinson, where he will
appear tomorrow for, the Northern
Trust Co. Of this city, which is one
of the defendants in the action brought
by Stark county to recover the amount
alleged to have been defaulted by for
mer Auditor Reissbeck, who was also
city treasurer Of Dickinson at the
same time.
In connection with the several ac-
tons brought by Stark county against
the different sureties of the former au-
oitor, States Attorney Murtha of that
county brought a counter case against
The Northern Trust Co, to recover on
three counts. First, the difference be-
tween the total alleged d~efalcation and
n the amount paid by the trust COM
panies. Second, the sum paid experts
to examine the t~reasurer's and audi
tors books. And the third for the
amount paid Attorney General Miller
TO represent Stark countyAi in settling
with the bond companies.
rms action was brought in the state
n FEDERAL courts and a motion to en-
JOIN further procedure was denied the
defendant by the federal Judge at a
hearing in chambers this week.

York, which furnished Mr.. Reissbeck's
bond at the time of the financial dis
closures, is bringing suit against the
Northern Trust Co. on the auditors
bond to recover the amount paid Stark
county by the American Surety Co.
The basis of the plaintiffs claim is
that this expense was incurred be-
cause OF the auditors wrong-doing
and should be paid by his sureties. :
The Dakota National bank of Dick
inson is also made a defendant in the
suit by the American Surety Co. on
the theory that the bank recovered
the money on spurious warrants which
this company was compelled to pay
which amount it now seeks to ecove
by this action.
A motion has also been made to
make Stark county a party to this
action and have all disputes now
pending regarding the liabilities of
these defendants, adjudicated.
Following this action of the Surety
Co.. the Dakota and First National
banks of Dickinson and the city of
Dickinson filed an interview in this
action, claiming a. prior claim on the
bond from the Surety COM
pany.

BOOSTING JUDGE MILLS
Farmers and Potato Growers of Clay
County Will Favor denomination
of Home Candidate.

1t was declared today that the mem
bers of the Clay County Potato Grow
ers' association, practically to- a man
will be in favor of the denomination of
Ira B. Mills, republican of this city as
a nember of the state warehouse and
railroad commission to succeed him
self.
The farmers n the large number
of those engaged in the potato ndus-
try in Clay county are strongly appre-
ciative of the untiring energy which
has always been exercised by Judge
Mills when ever his help was needed
when shipping facilities needed to BE-
stimulated, during harvest or in the
season when potato shipping was inn
pOrtant to his constituents in this sec
ton of the Red river valley.
Among the leading and largest ship
pers who nave lined up and will tax
off their coats to help Judge Mills at
the polls next Tuesday are: F. T.
Thompson, Ton McCabe, A. ]. Lamb, E.
D. Grant, secretary of the association
named, A. T. Purcell, Henry Schroe-
der, David Askegaard, Theodore Skrei;

AN ORNAMENTAL
GATE TO THE A. c.
PLANS FOR ONE PREPARED AND
DONATED BY HAxsY & GILES
PIE HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY
THE OFFICIAL BOARD OF THE
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

The North Dakota Agricultural col
lege campus of this city is to have
some fine improvements in the near
future, the most important of which
is an ornamental entrance or gateway.
At the meeting of the official board
this week which was attended by G.
w. Kelly of Devils Lake, George H.
HOLSTER, Claude Nugent and Peter
Elliott of this city, the plans and spe-
cifications as made by HaXby & Gill
lespie of this city were accepted for
THO entrance gate to the grounds. These
plans were donated by the arehitec-
tural firm.
There will be four posts, two center
posts which will divide the driveway
from the walks, and two outside posts.
These will be highly ornamental and
will be constructed either entirely of
granite or granite and brick.
This project was first started by the
class of 1912 and the other classes viii
be asked to contribute their share of
the expense in the erection of the gate
way.
The board attended to the usual
routine business that came before it,
there being nothing new in which the
public is interested brought up.
