Upon His Decision Fate OF

Rests, Is Belief.

The plans for replacing the wrecked
Roseville Trust Company with a new
bank, the Indemnity Trust Company
are in the hands of L. r. Vreden-
burgh, deputy State banking commits
sioner. Upon his report will largely
depend whether George M. LaMonte,
the commissioner, gives his final ap-
prevail to the proposition.
Mr.. Vredenburgh announced TO-DAY
that the bank would remain open next
Monday night and the succeeding
Monday evening to give depositors an

have with the defunct trust company

Oakland Motor Sales Company, owned
by RAYMOND r. Smith, has begun a
to have a trustee appoint
ed in the bankruptcy proceedings that
will be friendly to the Smith interests.
It is understood on good authority
that Briggs has been visiting with the
creditors of Smith and has tried to
obtain assignments of claims against
Smith or the firm, and has acknoWl-
eyed to one of the creditors That ms
object was to secure control at the
election. From what was heard 1t Is
fair to assume that Briggs Is work
ing with Smith and that they Will
try and have a trustee appointed That
will be friendly to their interests.

BAND OF BURGLARS
IN SOUTH ORANGE
Six Houses Recently Entered.
Four of Them
Looted.

Burglars gained entrance to no less
than half a dozen homes in South
Orange village last night or yester-
day afternoon. Success marked the
attempts of the intruders at four out
of the six residences. The booty pro-
cured consisted of jewelry and sill
verware in each instance. The thefts
are supposed to have been the work
of band of burglars.
The residences visited by the burg
lars were those of Ludwig Chardon,
ITO Ralston avenue; Alfred Leeb, 166
Ralston avenue; William A. Brewer,
Grove road and South orange ave-
nue.; Z. C. Rosswassler, 327 Warwick
avenue; Mrs. +. 1. Merkel, 62 Fair
view avenue, and Charles +. Weis-
ker, 2S6 Tillou road.
The total amount of booty obtained
has not yet been reckoned by Mar
shall of Police Thomas f. Mcguire,
owing to the failure on the part of
some of the householders to provide
his men with a complete list of the
articles stolen. Mrs. Merkel how
ever, is believed to be the greatest
loser. The Merkel house was the
only one robbed yesterday afternoon,
the others being visited by burglars
at night.
1t was while Mrs. Merkel and her
daughter, Miss Julia Merkel, were
both out of the house that their place
was robbed. Gaining entrance by
forcing a door leading from the eel
lar to the kitchen, after having
passed through an open trap-door
into the cellar, the thieves ransacked
the home from top to bottom. 1t is
believed that more than one man was
connected with this break" neigh
bors having informed the police of
having seen several men prowling
about in the neighborhood. Mrs. Mer-
KEEL and her daughter left the house
at / o'clock and returned at 4:30. 1t
was between these hours that the
burglary occurred. Somewhat more
than $3.50 worth of jewelry was stolen
from the Merkel residence.
Mrs. Merl5el Is the widow of the
late John G. Merkel, q business man
in this city.
At the Chardon home the burglars
entered through a window in the
library after they had broken a win
dow pane and forced the latch with
a screw driver and hammer, which
they left behind. According to the
police, about sos worth of booty was
pairs of silver candlesticks, silver
card tray, four silver napkin rings,
two silver salad dishes and spoons to
match and q silver top tobacco jar.
1t was through the front door that
the robbers entered the Rosswassler
home. Here they made off with a
gold watch. a set of pearl ear rings,
a heavy gold wedding ring and four
pins. 1t is believed that the thieves
were in the house prior to midnight
and that escape was made through
a second story window, where a
screen was found to have been re-
moved on the porch side.
At the Weisker residence about $75
worth was stolen, according to Mar
shall Mcguire. At the Leeb residence
the intruders were evidently fright
ened away, while the Brewer house
was found vacant, Mr.. Brewer having
disposed of his furniture several
weeks ago.
Sergeant Edward A. Tracey has
been assigned to the various rob-
berries. He has several clews on
which he hopes to make arrests.

STANLEY COUNTY
COMING BACK"
Farmers Replacing Range Cattle
With Dairy Herds

Philip Review: Figures furnished
by the railroad companies operating
in western South Dakota show that
$500. 900 represents the shipment Of
cattle OUT Of this section to the east
ern markets in the past year. In ex-
cess of the amount shipped out in
1912. This, we believe, shows that
the range cattle have practically been
taken out Of the western part Of the
state, following the action Of the
last state legislature in refusing to
grant counties the optional privilege
on the herd law.
Stanley county has not been range
territory for several years. The
feed scarcity in 1911 compelled most
Of the stock owners to sacrifice their
holdings. The purchase during the
past season by local people of cows
has been large. and the number of
cattle held IN the county Will within
two years exceed the amount ranged
over our prairies in the olden, golden
DAYS by a large majority.
Experience has demonstrated to
Stanley county farmers that the folly
of 1911 could have been avoided.
All Of the cattle taken out at that
time could have been held here. if
our resources had been realized in
time. and the advance in price dur
ing 1912 and 1919 would have made
it a profitable holding,
Stanley county Is coming back"
ia a livestock sense as in other ways,
though the process is bound to con-
sumo some time. Our people realize
that conditions are better than for
some time past. and have reason to
face the future with considerable
optimism

Christmas Greetings

The PRESS wishes its readers a
Merry Christmas, not because it is
the stcreotyped thing to do, but be-
cause we believe that this is the one
time of the year when happiness and
good wishes should hold full sway in
the hearts of men. 1t is the one day
that is universally observed through
out all Christaindom and Its message
of good cheer never fails to find a
response in all humanity from the
youngest child on up the scale.
We would say with Henry Van
Dyke: 1T is a good thing to observe
Christmas day. The mere making
of times and seasons when men agree
to stop work and make merry tOget-
her is a wise and wholesome custom.
It helps one to feel the supremacy OF
the common life over the individual
life. 1t reminds a mar to set his
own little watch, now and then, by
the great clock of humanity. which
runs on gun time
May the Christmas Spirit enter
into your lives and all you do and
saw; may your wants he abundantly
supplied, and your health and happl,
ness be complete.
