PURCHASE NOW HELD ON
EMBEzzLEMENT CHARGE

George Purchase, the Halliday law
yer who was arrested about three
weeks ago on the charge of forgery
in connection with the drawing of
funds belonging to the Lyster estate
is now also held on the charge Of
embezzlement.
It is alleged that Purchase drew
upon the estate funds through
Judge Morton of Dunn county to the
amount of over $4,000. This money
he is said to have deposited in bank
in Dickinson, later investing big
share of it in furniture and Bismarck
realty. 1t is also rumored that he
spent considerable for wet goods, ex-
horbitant tips, etc.
On Tuesday the accused was
brought before Justice Grayson at
Killdeer and waived examination, be-
ing bound over to the district court
in the sum of $4,000. The bonds were
furnished the following day and Pur-
chase released from custody. His trial
will come up before the district court
next month, and the case will be
watched with interest by both Dunn
and Stark county people.
The charge of embezzlement is a
serious one and the authorities are of
the opinion that Purchase will be con-
victed upon this charge. If he is he
will undoubtedly serve term behind
prison bars.

MAN WHO DISAPPEARED
RETURNS TO FARM HOME

Alex Barta, prominent Gladstone
farmer, who mysteriously disappeared
about three weeks ago, has returned
and is again with his family. 1t
seems that Mr.. Barta, being the pos
SCISSOR Of a considerable amount of
cash, just naturally decided to take a
vacation. He left his team tied to a
post in Gladstone, and departed on
an eastbound train. No one knew of
his plans and when he did not return
home the following morning the
family became anxious and telephoned
to Gladstone. The team was found
but no man. -
Stories soon gained circulation that
he had undoubtedly been robbed and
murdered by some !. W.. w. This
caused a great deal Of anxiety among
his relatives and friends.
But he is at home again after
spending an enjoyable vacation away
from farm cares, and everything is
running smoothly once more on the
Barta farm.

STATE CHAMPION
IN GOLF TOURNEY

John Reuter-, Jr., of Dickinson won
the state golf championship last week
at Bismarck when he defeated C. J.
Murphy of Grand Forks, 7 up and
to play.
f." Murphy's game was erratic. Al
times he played fine golf that won
him points from the champion, but
then fell down. While the steady
game played by Reuter- took advant-
age of every slip and piled up lead
that won on the thirty-frst green
Reuter- is easily the best man in
the state and great deal of credit
is due Mr.. Murphy for putting up the
exhibition that he did. AS Mr.
Reuters remarkable ability as a
golfer, makes the championship match
almost forcgone conclusion, he has
issued statement that he will not
participate in next years individual
match, to be held during the state
tournament in Dickinson. This move
on the part of Mr.. Reuter- is a gener-
Gus one, and one that will greatly in
crease the interest in the outcome
next year.
Mrs. E. L. Lovejoy won the ladies'
championship when she defeated Mrs.
Geo. w. Kilmer of Dickinson 4 up and
3 to play. Both ladies played good
golf.
Both matches were followed by
large galleries which stayed till the
last hole was won.
All participants express themselves
as well satisfied with the treatment
they were given by the Bismarck
club.
At the business meeting of the
state association, two Dickinson men
were elected to important positions
w. L. Richards being named president
of the association, and w. F. Burnett,
secretary-treasurer. Both of these
gentlemen are enthusiastic sportsmen
and golfers and the selection for
these offices could not have been bet-
ter.

MANUFACTURE OF
PAINT NEWEST
CITY INDUSTRY
COMPANY BEING FORMED TO
CONDUCT THE BUSINESS ON
LARGE SCALE.
Quality Of Oxide Pigment Found il
Vicinity Is Of Very Highest
Grade.

AS previously stated in the Press,
deposits of oxide of paint have re-
Gently been discovered in the Bad
Lands and are now found in large
commercial quantities. All colors are
found, which means that paint can
be manufactured here at home and it
will be just fine paint, ground in oil,
using no chemicals in any form, thus
producing paint that will last many
times longer than the chemically pre-
pared paints that are sold on the
markets today. These oxides have
been thoroughly tested out, mill
having been put up for that purpose.
These natural mineral paints far ex-
ceed in strength and richness even
the most optomistic expectations.
In connection with the paint in
dustry, it is the intention Of the
company that is being formed to
manufacture these paints, to also put
in an oil mill, thus making the entire
product all home made. Under pres
ent circumstances we are paying
freight out on the flax seed and
freight back on the oil, which expense
can be eliminated by making the oil
at home, besides providing a home
market for our growers of flax seed.
This enterprise promises to be not
only Of most Importance to the city
of Dickinson and surrounding country
but to the whole state, as pure paints
without chemicals being used in it's
preparation, is almost a thing Of the
past. This discovery is another ex-
emplication of the vast natural re-
sources of western North Dakota.

LOCAL CLOTHING STORES
VICTIMS Of THIEVES

Two young transients, giving their
names as J. w. and w. E.. Baker,
were arrested at Belfeld on Monday
last on the charge of theft. It seems
that the two had stolen several arti-
cles of wearing apparel from stores
in Belfield and in attempting to sell
them were apprehended. When ar
rested they were also found to be
wearing articles of clothing bearing
the trade marks of the Hub and the
Fad clothing houses in Dickinson.
Local authorities were notified and
upon examination it was discovered
that the two had also practiced their
thievery in this city, one engaging
the attention of the salesman while
the other got away with the goods.
They were fined $40 each and costs
in justice court for their Belfield
thefts, but being unable to pay they
were remanded to the county jail in
Dickinson. It is expected that they
will have to- face the local charges
as soon as they serve the required
time on the Belfeld charge.

tirely unexpected.
Deceased came to this city when
it was only a hamlet of frontier
shacks, and for 27 years was closely
identified with business and political
life of the town and county, enga ging
in the mercantile business and hold
ing the offices of county auditor and
register of deeds for several years
He later engaged in the realty bust

HUGHES FAVORS
THE PROTECTIVE
TARIFF FOR j. s,
POPULAR PRESIDENTIAL CAN.
DIDATE COMES OUT STRONGLY
FOR GREATER ECONOMY,
Stirring Address Made By Hughes
in Dickinson Last Week Published
Below.

AS indicated in last weeks issue of
the Press, we publish in today's paper
verbatim copy of the principal por-
ton of the address made in Dickinson
last Friday by Charles Evans
Hughes, republican candidate for
president Of the United States:
Fellow Citizens: I am very glad
to have the opportunity to speak to
you for few minutes. Whether we
are in the east, west, north or SOUTH
we have the one country, and patriotic
sentiment inspires US in every part
of the land.
"I am sure that there is no in
terest but what is directly related to
every interest in the country
Whether it is agriculture, or whether
it is manufacture, whether it is min
ing, or whether it is producing, ii
desires protection and conservation
on the part of the government to
the end that we may have general
permanent prosperity throughout the
length and breadth of the land.
We went in this country unbuilding
policies. I believe in the protective
tariff. I believe in wise and just
impartial administration of our laws
without fear or favor, without an
effort to make the government serve
party, but to have the party serve
the government. We need economy
in our administration. We need to
cut out waste and extravaganza. We
do not want "Pork bills" We want
the money that is taken by taxation
honestly and faithful expended.
"Now, these are net dreams. It is
perfectly possible to have popular
government efficiently administered
All that is necessary is to put men
in charge CT administrative depart
ments who will not have ary other
ambition than to faithfully execute
the laws and give business-like ad-
ministration. That is what I stand
for. That is what I endeavored tc
have when I was in New York; and
my feeling is that we confront the
crisis of the next few years with re-
spect to our prosperity, indep cndent
Of the conditions created by the war
we must have not only frmness in
the maintenance of American rights
but wisdom and strength, economy
and just business like administration
in the conduct of our public affairs
81 pledge to you, my fellow citizens
my best endeavors to that end if you
place me in the position of RESPONSE
bility for which I am a candidate.
"I do not covct power. Power
means responsibility. I do not covet
honors; I have enjoyed great honors
I know what it means to be in a
position of great responsibility in
this country. I simply desire to
serve the American people; and if
you elect me to the highest office
any man can hold, it will be occupied
by me with but the one intent, and
that is to have straight forward
American government, and to have
the American name honored through
out the world"
