the war revenu tai law passed by

either send to James Coifey, district
collector Of internal revenue at Aber-
deem, s. D., OF obtain them at the To-
cal bank with which they do business.
All of the city banks have placed
orders for the stamps with Mr.. Cot
fey. and for the accommodation Of
their patrons will act as distributing
stations. The banks pay for the
stamps at the time they are ordered.
AS non of the local institutions
have any idea as to how many Of the
stamps they are likely to require. they
are merely using their best judgment
in the matter, and most of them are
ordering the stamps in sufficient
quantities to be able to supply. their
country correspondence also.

of n cent on each message costing
Is cents or more for transmission
must be paid by the sender in addi-

the telegraph companies. an. addition
al charge Of one cent being attached
to each message sent. This tax is to
be paid by the person who pays for
the message.
The tax is uniform on all telegraph
messages.

CHARGE
DROPPED TODAY
Case Against Peter Toscas
Dismissed by Devils :
Lake Justice.

n murder charge lodged against
Peter Toscas of this city as the result
Of the shooting of Nick Tribonyas at
v Lake during the latter part Of
october, was dismissed this morning
by Judge Juergens of the Devils Lake
justice court.
The original verdict of the coron-
er's jury that the shooting was acct
dental, Is confirmed.
Financial Trouble.
1t now appears that the lodging of
the charge of murder against Tribon-
vas was due to financial trouble which
later arose between Toscas and other
Greeks who were present at the time,
In this connection it seems that at
tempts were made to hold up Toscas
and his cousin, Christ Toscas, who re-
sides in this city for money, under
threats Of trouble in regard to the
shooting II the cash was not forth
coming.
AS a result of false translations of
the evidence given at the coroner's
inquest in regard to the shooting,
Toscas was arrested here nearly two
weeks ago and taken to Devils Lake.
The original plan, Of the authorities
being to have him appear before the
grand jury.
This was rendered impossible, how.
ever, by. the adjournment of that body,
and as a result a formal charge OF
first degree murder was lodged against
Toscas, who was then arraigned be-
fore Judge Juergens.
The hearing took up several even
ings, and was finally concluded this
morning when the case was dismissed.
The shooting occurred late in Octo-
Der. Toscas Tribonyas and a number
Of other Greeks were hunting togeth-
er, and were camping in a small shan.
ty near Devils Lake. Toscas had with
him an automatic shot gun, which
was accidentally, discharged killing
Tribonyas. ~

IMPROVEMENT Co.
TO HOLD MEETING
Attempt at Reorganization
Will be
People Interested.

Stockholders of the North Dakota
Improvement company which owns
the Improvement block on North
Third st. in this city, will meet at Far
go, Dec. 10, to whether the company
shall be re-organized or its holdings
sold.
A number of Grand Forks people
are interested in the concern and will
probably attend the meeting.
The company is at present in the
hands Of a receiver, NJ. A. Baldwin,
who was appointed by the district
court. 1t is understood to be heavily
in debt.
If it is found that a reorganization
of the concern Is impossible an or
der for the sale Of its property will
probably be issued by the court, and
the holdings disposed Of to the high
est bidder.
1t is hoped, however, that some
scheme can be devised by which the
concern can gradually be gotten out
of debt.

John Zeha, aged 10 Of Gardentown,
Man, looks like a cherub.
Nevertheless he Is being held by
the federal authorities in he Grand
Forks city Jail, on a charge of using
the mails with intent to defraud, and
the officers say that he is a more slip
perry customer than the most harden
ed crook they have ever handled.
He made his escape from the Unit.
ed States marshal at st. Vincent, and
nearly succeeded in saving his way
out Of the Pembina Jail with the aid
Of a railroad spike. and a poker
which he says he found in the bed of
his cell.
Zeha is charged with having order
ed goods from the Sears-R oebuck Co.
of Chicago, and to have sent bogus
checks to the company in payment for
the same. He was caught after ne
had twice d%efrauded the company in
this manner.
II read in the papers about how a
woman in Winnipeg worked the stunt
and got away with it, and 1 thought
1 could do the same thing" was
Zeha's explanation of his plight off,
cred this morning to Chief ]. w.
Love-.
A smile appeared on the youngsters
face when he was asked regarding his
attempts to escape.

when he conceived the idea of making
"eaasy, money" by defrauding the mail

Zeha says that he is 10 years old,

Devils LAKE IS
SORE AT SCHEDULE
Great Northern's Recent
Abandonment of Night
Service the Cause.
WILL FIGHT FOR
G
Insist That Business Men
Are Entitled to More
Adequate Service

Devils Lake is up in arms over the
lew mail service tina has been Gre
lted through the change in the Great
Northern schedule, and the Devils
Lake Commercial club will take up
the matter with the view Of securing
an adjustment.
At the present time. Devils Lake
gets its only eastern mail on Nc. B,
and very few Devils Lakers get their
mail before 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
There is a morning delivery that
cares for the mail arriving there at
night. on the dinky from Grand
Forks. This mail, however. is only
that from Grand Forks. Il closed
pouch being sent from this city.
Dealing with the situation, the
Devils Lake Journal says:
"As a result Of the change in Great
Northern train schedule no small
amount of comment is heard con-
corning the mail service as readjusted
to the new program of affairs. The
average business man II resident In
general, wants his mail in the morn
ing. The ordinary business and pro-
fessional man vote a considerable
portion Of the morning, under normal
conditions to correspondence.
OnuoT lue pIeSeul OIucT VI lIlltiSo,
the main mail delivery is made from
the post office at 2 o'clock, which
means that it is 3 o'clock in the aft
ernoon before a large number receive
their mail, which with reasonable
train service. would be delivered by .
o'clock in the morning.
The only mail from the east which
is made in the morning delivery.
m on the "dinky." which arrives
here at Z o'clock in the evening. In
that this train carries no mail EAR or
clerk, all that is brought to Devils
Lake is a closed pouch from Grand
Forks. Under the old schedule an
Immense amount of mail was brought
to the city on No. /. This is all relay
ed than twelve hours, arriving
on No. 3 in the morning.
THE question of adequate train and
mail service will doubtless be one Of
the questions discussed at the meet
Ing of the commercial club this even
