ing the wagon for his brother, whom
he described.
Description Tailed.
The description tailed exactly with
that of the dead man. The driver was
nearly FRUSTRATED, when informed Of
his brothers act, blu went to the I'M
dertaking parlors, and Unidentified the
body without question, the wife and
other brother being informed at once.
Disappeared Friday p. NJ.
They stated that Anderson complain
ed of being i'll on Friday morning, and
asked his brother to drive his wagon
for him that day. Friday noon he went
out, saying that he was going to con-
suit a doctor. He did not return Fri
day night, and his brother drove his
wagon again Saturday, none Of the
family knowing anything of Anderson's
whereabouts until the brother was in
formed late Saturday afternoon.
Motive UnknOwn.
No reason for the act is known. An
derson had been with Park, Grant &
Morris for about a year., and IL was not
known that he was respondent. The
place where he committed the deed is
only a few blocks from his home.

ST. PAUL IN DANGER
OF Dam BREAKING

st. Paul, MINI, June 15.-George
w. Freeman, assistant United States
engineer, in charge Of the construc-
ton Of the government lock and dam
No. 1 here, issued q warning tonight,
stating that the Golfer dam, holding
the flood waters of the Mississippi,
might give way at any time. The riv-
er is flooded. due to the rains Of the
past week.
Immense Wall of Water
This would mea according to the
engineer, that a wall of water from
fifteen to twenty feet high would
rush down the river and menace many
lives, as a part of the city is built near
the river level.
IT do not want to cause undue anx-
iety, but under the present high wa
ter conditions the dam is liable to
weaken. The probability that it will
break Is small, but real enough to
make me feel that I would be greatly
at fault, in case the break should
come and I failed to give warning"
said Mr.. Freeman Saturday.
Weakened by Floods.
The Golfer dam extends from the
main dam across to the power house.
Ordinarily the water is directed
through the eight locks already con-
structed. but the flooded waters have
crowded it over to the Golfer dam.
The danger lies in the fact that the
water flowing over the Golfer dam is
loosening it. There are over $4,000
yards of material in between the pill
ing. This, 1t is said, Is sufficient to
hold the heaviest water pressure If
kept dry, but with water undermining
1t. as 1t is now, the danger arises.

SAY EAST SHOULD
Be REPRESENTED

Lisbon Free Press: Did you ever
not that Morton county has two Of the
railroad commissioners, and that the
eastern part of the state is not repre-
sented? For that reason and also for
his ability, we believe the electors
should support the candidacy of James
Collins of Grand Forks at the prim-
aries for that office. He is a pioneer
having come into the Red river val
ley in 1882, when he took a home
stead. He was sheriff of Grand Forks
county four years and deputy sheriff
four years and has been the efficient
agent Of the Winchester Repeating
Arms Co. for years. Mr.. Collins is
we'll qualified for the position, Is a
genial gentleman and makes friends
wherever he goes. We wish him
abundant success.

TO QUIT
THE BANK

Chicago, June a15.-One million dol
lars is said to have been promised to
save the Lasalle Street Trust & Saw

and G. B. Munday. president and vice
president Of the bank which was clos
ed Friday by the state bank examiner,
will sever their connection with tbs
institution according to a statement
issued by Munday. A million dollars,
Munday said would be sufficient to
reopen the bank. The resignation of
Senator Lorimer he added seems at
this time to be called for by the
circumstances. IS

FARMER WAS TOO SHARP FOR
| CON MEN. Il, nv
They Planned to Help Him Win
100000, but He Turned the
Trick on the City SlickerS.

Charles D. Thompson is a wise old
farmer from down Kirksvillc, Mo-,
way. Down in AGair county they've
got to be on pretty sharp lookout to
keep ahead Of The Iowa horse trad
ers and lightning rod agents. Be it
said to the credit of Mr.. Thompson
that no horse trader ever David
Harmed" him.
AS for "city slickors"-well it pays
to read the newspapers. 1t paid him
Just $1,000 and landed two smooth
boys in jail on {. confidence game
charge at Chicago.
Likewise Mr.. Thompson's enter
tainment cost the con men the fol-
lowing sums Supper, 81; car fare,
10 cents; racing bets, So; total
$12.1O, says the Chillicothe Consti-
tuition.
The two had it fixed" so that Mr..
Thompson would win 100000 on a
horse race, but Mr.. Thompson would
have to put up $1,000 in order to
get the big prize. The farmer had
read about suc.. things and, as he
explained to Captain of Detectives
Halpin, ''it didn't take q brick house
to fall on me-
He led the swindlcrs to believe
that he had telegrc pied to KirEsville
for the $1,000 which was to be wag-
cred Then Thompson took Cap
tain Halpin into his confidence and
Mulvcy and Power, police sergeants,
were assigned to the case. The conf
dence men were lured to Thompson,s
room at a hotel, where they we're to
be given the $1,000. Mulvoy and
Power wore conceded in 9 closet.
"I've got a message from the Citi-
zens National Bank of Kirksvi!le say
ing that a New York draft for $1,000
would be hero today" Pretty soft
for you," said enc of the swi1dlsrs.
I'm a few hours you'll savc $4,000
more"
At that the detectives stepped
from their hiding place end took the
confidence mon. They also Wsre
registered as Lawrence Summers and
J. J. Kont.. In their room t-.e police
found loaded dice, marked decks OF
cards and subscription blanks for
membership to The International
Automobile League.

OsceOla Man Run Down Twice by
Auto in Two Weeks.

James Vandell of Osceola, who
has been visiting with his daughter,
Mrs. Frank Flummer the past two
weeks, was run down by Fred Weav-
er's auto truck last evening at about
7:15 o'clock, while he was crossing
Adams street to go to the depot says
the Creston American OF last Friday.
Mr.. Vandell was walking across
the street with his umbrella low over
his head and did not see the APP
preaching automobile. The driver
of the car did not see Mr.. Vandell
and as 3 result the unfortunate man
was hit and knocked down, the car
running over his chest. Several
gashes were cut in his forehead and
head
Mr.. Weaver stopped his car as
he knew what had happened. The
injured man was picked up and TAX
en- into the depot where his wounds
were washed and Dr. J. w. and Orlo
Coakley we're called.
He was tcken to the Unity hes
p'tal where upon close examination,
it was found that he suffered no In
ternal injuries and would probably
recover from the wounds on the
head in a. few weeks.
Mr.. Vandell is certainly fortunate
to have escaped from fatal injuries.
He was injured in the same manner,
in Osceola about two weeks ago when
he was struck by an automobile and
three ribs were broken.
No one can be blamed for the acct
dent as the rain was falling in tor
rents and it was hard to see at all.

Can't Fill Place of the Dead Can

If a candidate for judge under the
nonpartisan election law dies there is
no way Of filling his place on the
ticket. This discovery has been made
as result of the death Of j. w. jam
ison of Cedar Rapids, who was one
of the nonpartisan candidates for
district judge.
The Jaw provides that vacancies
shall be filled in the same way as
they arc filled in other portions OF
the general ticket. Vacancies on
partisan tickets ere filled by action
of partisan committees. 1t is obvious
these committees connot act in the
filling of vacancies on a nonpartisan
ticket. Interested officials have been
unable to see way in which a va
cancy of the kind can be filled at

! d Bank Account!
BECAUSE your money is safer in the Bank than any
: where else
: BECAUSE bank account teaches, helps and encour-
ages you to save, so as to increase your
: balance.
: BECAUSE paying bills by check is the simplest and
most convenient method as we'll as the safest,
! as your check becomes receipt for the debt
it pays.
: BECAUSE, check book is much convenient to
carry than wallet filled with legal tender or
loose change, and if your check book is lost,
the Bank will furnish you another free Of
charge; when you lose your wallet the story
is different.
BECAUSE it gives you better standing in the commune
ty especially among the businessmen, to pay
by check rather than in cash; TO be known
having money in the Bank, strengthens
Cnes credit.
:; BECAUSE, your returned cancelled checks with properly
kept stubs, and the pass book. furnished by
: the bank, makes very complete and clear
record of business transacted, and is kept with
less work than any other record could be.
BECAUSE, by having bank account and issuing checks
and making deposits you unaware to your
self, gradually building up the most valuable
asset man can have, namely: good credit.
BECAUSE, by having with the bank. the bank
n knows you and when you have check or
draft on an out-ot-toWn bank to cash. it will
be readily done for you
BECAUSE, some day youmight need to borrow; the
customer receives not only accommodation,
but the preference Of rates and amount while
the non-cusorner may in times Of sngency,
meet with refusal.
