panied to learn that he is precariously
i'll with pneumonia at the home Of a
daughter, Mrs. F. D. Foote, at San
Pedro, Cal. Mr.. Millar, who is near
ly eighty years of age, left for the

when he left, but enroute caught a
cold which developed into pneumonia.
At Los Angeles, he was taken from
the train in wheel chair and convey
ed by auto to the Foote home at San
Pedro. A telegram was received Sat.
urday stating that doctors held out
little hope for his recovery. His
daughters, Mrs. G. B. Bach of this city
and Mrs. Percy Cole, of Kenmare, and
q son, James, Of Webb, Sask., left that
afternoon for California.
LATER: MIR. Millar is reported
resting more easily today and he may

SAYS THE MAX LINE
MAY N0T RE RlIII r

According to statement made to
the Independent by man coming
from the general offices of the 500 in
Minneapolis, there is little prospects
of the Minot-Max line being built at
an early date. In the first place, he
explained that it would cost million
dollars; that the 500 would not gain
a great deal, for it has an even break
for the business in that territory now;
that there would be little chance of
the 500 making money from the new
line, because from their standpoint
the passenger rates are now too low;
that the 500 hopes to see the state
capitol remain at Bismarck, but that
the road would rather gamble on it's
removal than to spend that million
dollars. These statements are not of
fetal, and the Independent hopes that
the representative does not know
what he is talking about.

JACOB SCHWARTZ
. ... IS UNDER ARREST
FORMER MONEY ORDER CLERK
OF MINOT POsTOFFICE HELD
TO FEDERAL COURT ON $4,000
BONDS-INSPECTOR CLAIMS A
SHORTAGE OF ss,O52.

Jacob Schwart, former money order
clerk at the Minot posteffice, came in
from the country Saturday when he
learned that warrant had been
sworn out for his arrest, charging him
with the defalcation of funds.
Schwartz has been staying at farm
close to Minot ever since he gave up
his position in the postoffice, ready to
submit to arrest whenever he learn
ed that warrant had been issued for
him. Deputy U. S. Marshall Duis ar
rived in Minot Saturday and going to
one Of Schwartz's friends, informed
him that there was warrant out for
Jake's arrest. "Ill have him here in
side half an hour" the friend replied.
An auto was sent out and in lust rs
minutes, Schwartz was in the city. He
appeared before u. S. Commissioner
X: +. Hopkins, who held him to feder-
al court under $4,000 bonds. The bonds
were quickly furnished, they being
signed by A. j. Drummer, former
postmaster, under whom Schwartz
worked, and W. S. Shaw, president Of
the city commission.
The inspector reports discrep-
ancy of $8,O52 in the records, but it
cannot be said at this time that the
money has not all been accounted for.
The Independent learns that the rec
ords at the postofice corresponding
with the bank deposits do not show
any shortage, and that it may be that
there is merely an error.
A friend offered to advance
Schwartz all the money needed in case
that he was short, but he declined to
accept cent, stating that he had not
taken cent that did not belong to
him, therefore he did not figure that it
was up to him to turn over any cash.
The Independent does not care to
try the case. We have no brief for
anyone connected with the trouble, but
we hope, as do hundreds of Mr..
Schwartz's friends, that it will prove
to be only an error.
