the alleged conversion Of notes 70,

CALMLY
AWAITS BULLET
Stands at Attention in County
Jail Expecting to be
Shot.
ONE TIME D
DOESN'T DESERVE IT
Declares There is no Reason
Why He Should be
Killed.

Firmly convinced that he Is going
to be shot, but resolved to meet his
death like a soldier. Andrew Skille
Of Nelson. B. c., is standing at atten-
ton in the Grand Forks county Jail
calmly awaiting the fatal bullet.
When the man was taken from the
Great Northern train here Tuesday
afternoon he insisted that someone
was trying to rob him, a ticket to
Norway and 5000 in money having
been taken from him by a Great
Northern special agent in order to
prevent just such a CONTINGENCY. The
officials at first supposed him to have
been drugged, but his actions last
night and today have led them to the
conclusion that the man is insane.
After raving during the greater
part Of Tuesday night Skille awoke
this morning firmly convinced that
he was to be shot. He declared that
he had been a soldier and would meet
the unjust sentence like one.
Going to the door Of his cell he
stood at attention, and with brief in
tervals has maintained the same posi-
ton all day.
Inquiries are being made by the
local authorities in British Columbia
with q view to ascertaining II the
man should be returned to Canada
or sent to Norway.

CURRENCY SYSTEM
IS IMPROVEMENT
Old Plan Bettered Says Speak
er at Meeting of the Fort
nightly Club.

The new currency system, which
was passed by congress recently. is a
great Improvement over the previous
systems in use in this country, accord
ing to w. M. Edmunds Of the First
National bank, who spoke on NATION
al Currency Legislation" at the meet
ing of the Fortnightly club held at the
public library Monday evening.
The great advantage Of the new sys-
tenn, according to MIR. Edmunds, is
that it makes it possible for conser-
vative bankers to secur advances of
cash in times OF financial stringency,
while under the old system ready cash
would almost go out Of circulation on
such occasions.
There is a certain danger Of in
flation under this plan. according to
the speaker. but this may be prevent
ed II the men in charge Of the reserve
use wise judgment in the matter.
In the opening part Of his paper,
Mr.. Edmunds traced the history of
currency legislation in this country
from the time the first pine tree shil-
lings' were struck in New England,
down to the present time.
During the discussion Of the matter,
led by F. l.. Goodman. which sue
ceeded Mr.. Edmund's address. 1t ap-
peared that a majority Of those pres
ent who understood financial matters,
agreed with Mr.. Edmunds in his con-
illusions.
