|l0AN ASSOCIATION IS
THRIVING INSTITUTION

The youngest of the financial in
stitutions of the city is that of the
Dickinson Building & Loan Associa-
tion, which had it's inception with a
few enterprising business and profess
sional men, who without personal
profit or advantage to themselves,
saw the need of such an organization.
1t is but little over four months
since the association was started, but
the business done to date is one of
the wonders of the city. Bismarck
was years before she took the place
already assumed by the local insti-
tuition.
The board of directors are cs-
pccially pleased that it finds so many
wage earncrs, s;laried men, as well
as those Of larger income as investors.
thus assuring the stock holders that
their money will be invested in safe
and sure city real estate, and will
bring a splendid dividend after the
first years working.
At the August meeting over $4,000
was loaned, and during September
$1,000 more was applied for and
granted. These loans arc placed on
the best possible security, on first
mortgage Of not over so per cent Of
the property valuation.
Young people and those earning a
steady salary, can take out 10 shares
paying $500 each month, then in 12O
months having paid in less than $500
can draw a clear $1,000. Twenty
shares with $40 per month, for 12C
months bring a cash value Of $4,000
when in fact the investor pays in to
the association less thar $1,000.
There is no organization that can
give you the security that this one
does with the rate of interest run
ming to 9 per cent or perhaps 10 per
cent. The reason is that it is d
mutual organization, each investor
receiving the same proportion of the
the earnings regardless Of the amount
they invest, and because there arc
virtually no expenses attached tc
the association.

RAID MADE ON SOUTH
SIDE JOINT FRIDAY

States Attorney H. A. Burgeson,
with the assistance of some of the
city authorities, made raid late last
Friday night upon a shack near the
river on the South Side. The rem
nants of couple of casks of beer
were found, also quantity of
whiskey. Those in charge Of the
'pig" had evidently gotten wind Of
the intended raid, as they quietly dis
appeared into the night. Tom Mann,
colored, was found in the place and
put under arrest, but a subsequent
hearing brought out the fact that he
had nothing to do with the sale of
the liquor. "Shorty" Davis, who
served time in the local Jail from
Dunn county last winter upon boot
logging charge, is alleged to be i'm
plicated in the management Of the
Joint. A couple of negro wenches
frequenting the place were told they
might be placed under arrest. They
began screaming and in no time had
disappeared from the city.

FORMER DICKINSON BALL
PLAYER IN BIG LEAGUE

Pitcher Northrop, who did such
valiant work with the Dickinson base
ball team the past season, is again
back with the Milwaukee team in the
American association, in which he
played before coming to Dickinson.
Upon his return he was Immediately
put on the pitchers slab in game
with Toledo, which team he held to
only four hits, Milwaukee winning
by the score of 6 to 2.
Northrop proved one Of the best
pitchers that the local team has
ever had, and it is with interest that
his friends in this locality hear that
he is back in real fast company again.
At the conclusion of the baseball
season in Dickinson he. was engaged
by the Mandan team. Bismarck took
a fall out Of the Mandan team, and
of course the pitcher was blamed.
Northrop was released and jumped
right back into big baseball.

NORMAL SCHOOL
CAMPAIGN NOW
BEING LAUNCHED
DICKINSON COMMERCIAL CLUB,
KEEN FOR ESTABLISHMENT
OF A NORMAL.
Missouri Slope of North Dakota is
Without a Single State Educa-
tiOnal Institution.

The Dickinson Commercial Club is
preparing to launch an extensive
campaign in the interests of a state
normal school for the Missouri Slope,
At meeting Wednesday evening de-
clslon was made to raise whatever
funds that would be necessary for an
advertising campaign that would
bring to almost every voter in the
state facts and reasons why there is
real need for normal on the SlOpe.
The urgent need for Il campaign
manager was evident, and as a re-
suit steps were taken to get into
touch with "A hVc-wirc publicity man.
me suggestion WAS made that the
club communicate with George N.
kcnlston Of Beach, the man who
helped Boost build the Red Trail
bridge over the Little Missouri river
at Medora. Word was sent to Mr..
Remission, and the committee in
charge met with him the following
day.
The enthusiasm and booster spirit
OF the members Of Dickinson's COM
mercial organization can be best real
lied by citing the fact that one Of
the business men present sprang to
his feet and declared himself for
Slope normal school, stating that if
nobody else would help he would pay
for the employment of publicity
man out of his own pocket. But the
majority of the residents of the city
have the same fine spirit, and the
campaign for funds is meeting with
hearty reception.
Another meeting of the club was
held Thursday evening and an exccu-
tive normal committee, with full
power to act, was named as follows:
w. l.. Richards, Fred Maser, Tobias
D. Casey, George Senour and E. J.
Hughes. This committee is now clcs-
ing arrangements with Mr.. Keniston
to handle the managerial end of one
Of the broadcast publicity campaigns
ever carried out in the state.

EVERY LOT IN NEW CITY
ADDITIONS ALREADY SOLD

Young's Fifth and Seventh Addi-
tions to the city Of Dickinson was
placed on sale this week and before
Thursday evening, the date set for
the opening Of a tcn-days' selling
campaign, every one Of the 1876 lots
were sold to residents of the city.
The prices Of the lots ranged from
$3.50 to $685., and there were a few
that were sold in excess of 5000 per
lot.
The sale was conducted under the
auspices Of the Home Realty & In
vestment Co. of. Emporia, Kansas.
The two additions were first subdi-
vided into lots, alleys and streets, and
each plainly numbered and marked.
The metes and bounds were marked
with brick piers, topped with con-
crete slabs.
This newly opened portion of the
city lies just west of Seventh Avenue
West, and extends from the North
ern Pacific railway tracks on the
south, to the Dickinson Town and
Country Club grounds on the north.
All streets are &c feet wide and al
most perfect natural drainage is af
forded.
The big majority of the lots were
bought by people of the city who are
now renters, and nearly all of these
contemplate building. This can now
be made possible in most instances
through the cooperation of the Dick
inson Building e. Loan Association,
which was organized last spring and
| which is meeting with such splendid
business

BIG SHIPMENT OF CATTLE

John Leaky, one of the largest cat
tie growers in the state, recently
made beef shipment Of fifteen car
loads to the Chicago markets. The
best of his steer stuff sold at about
$8.40 per cwt., live weight, and the
spayed heifers at a price just little
less. Mr.. Leaky's range is west of
the Little Missouri river, well north
toward Williston, but he could not
cross the Big Missouri with a beef
herd with safety and hence drives to
Medora and cars his cattle. He will
have another shipment of about
twenty-five cars later in the season.

MEETS SUDDEN DEATH
WHILE HAULING GRAIN

Andrew Lovine, one of the highly
respected citizens in the New Eng
land community, was instantly killed
in an accident that occurred at the
il. P. Moord farm near Rainy Butte
while hauling grain recently. Death
resulted from broken neck sustained
: when the victims head came in con-
tact with the top of the door frame
of the granary.
There were no witnesses to the ac-
cident but those who appeared on
the scene a few minutes later are of
the opinion that Mr.. Lovine mis-
judged the height of the door and
that his head was thrown against
the door frame with great force when
the wheels of the wagon hit the
threshold as the team pulled the load
of grain into the granary. 1t is the
third fatal accident in the New Eng
land territory the past month and the
people of the community can hardly
bear up under the loss of three of
their very best citizens.
Andrew Lovin was born in Skaane
PioVlllce, oWeuell, OIL Mafcn OCn, 1917.
He came to this country when a
young man and made his home for
a number Of years in the vicinity of
Atwater, MINI. 1t was ten years
ago that Mr.. Lovine came out to this
country and took up a homestead
near Rainy Butte. He put in his
time as a bachelor homesteader and
made every minute of that time count.
Hardly had he gained title to his
homestead when he purchased an ad-
ditional quarter, making one of the
best half section farms in Moorol
township.

The Press: "a
We have discovered that Labor day
is on the calendar even in Texas, and
we played it true to name by start
ing our mess hall and kitchen. This
is quite q structure, 20 feet by Sc
feet. The kitchen is located at ona
end While the other end is utilized as
real dining hall. The roof is a
gable affair, with rubberoid roofing
The sides and ends are screened in,
or Will be when we get the screen.
We have a floor throughout and feel
that we are back in civilization once
more. Tables We're installed last
night with white oil cloth and benches
were fixed SO that the boys could sit
down altogether for the first time
since we arrived. By next Sunday the
fellows will be tanned down so that
they can look napkin straight in the
face.
During the past week we took up
small problems and extended order
movements. Thursday morning our
battalion moved out with Co. A of
Bismarck as advance guard. Com
panies H, F and K were the main
body. Upon reaching Ell Faste, a
small stream which drains the Llano
Grande lake, Companies H and F took
up positions to hold off the supposed
enemy while Company A built a
bridge so that the Battalion could
rapidly pass over. Soon after COM
pletion Company K crossed and adj
vanced in skirmish formation. 1t
made an interesting mornings exer-
else, returning shortly before dinner.
The officers Of the regiment were
taken to Llano Grande one afternoon
the fore part of the week to listen to
an address by Gen. James Parker,
commander of this district. We were
told that with the aid of trucks,
such as we came in, troops could be

their loosing streak, by defeating the
3rd Indiana team by a score of 12 to

on the team. The boys go to Donna
today to tangle with the Donna Cav
airy. We have another field meet
coming Saturday Of this week.
Rumors of all sorts are still float

will be that we will be in North Da-
kota within the next twenty-four
hours, while three minutes later some
one will have something just off the
press that we will be in a suburb Of
Mexico City to see the next sunrise.
Robert Gillian is the only man we
have who is really sick. It looks like
"Bob" will have run of the fever.
He is at the Llano Grande hospital,
and is being well cared for. They are
doing good work in our hospitals,

pursuant to call by Jacob Roth
schiller of Gladstone, a meeting was
held in that town on Tuesday last
by about twenty members Of the Non-
partisan League: Mr.. Rothschiller
acted as chairman of the meeting and
stated that its purpose, was to en-
dorse. candidates for Stark county Of
fees: to be voted ON at the coming
election.
:. Many prominent members of the
league, among them some of the
Nonpartisan Legislative candidates,
objected to this call, because of the
fact that at an official meeting of the
leagiie, held in Dickinson September
End, the resolution was passed that
the Nonpartisan organization would
not mix in the county political af-
concerned. AS a result the Gladstone
meeting lacked the official sanction
by the organization officers.
Mr.. Rothschiller, as chairman pro-
tenn, called the meeting to order
nevertheless, and after some discus
sion endorsement was made of the
following by majority vote of those
present:
For States Attorney-W. F. Blume
Dickinson.
For Sheriff-Joe Bleth, Richardton.
Mr.. Bleth was a candidate for the
same office on the democratic ticket
in the primary election but was de-
feated by W. j. Elliott.
For Trea asurer-John Reuter-, Dick
inson, present Incumbent Of the Of
flee. Mr. Reuter- is the regular demo-
cratic nominee for reelection
For County Auditor. L. Hughes
Dickinson, present holder of this Of
fee and republican nominee for re-
election.
For Clerk of Court-Frank Mess
mer, Richardton.
For Register of Deeds-Joe Sches-
tax, Lehigh.
For County Judge-Fred Maser
Dickinson, who now holds this office
and is candidate on the republican
ticket for reelection.
Endorsement Repudiated
Many Stark county members of the
league repudiate all action. taken >at
Gladstone Tuesday and charge that
it was called by Mr.. Rothschiller only
to further his own ambitions. They
proclaim that they will stand by the
regular republican ticket, nominated
in June, as follows: ~.
For States Attorney-H. A. Bur
geson.-
For Sheriff.. N. Hartung.
For Treasurer-W. a.. Mcclure.
For AUDITOR. L. Hughes.
- For Register of Deeds-John Leask
For County Judge-Fred Maser.-
H. E. Behrnes, state manager OF
the league, states over his signature
and the name of the league that
neither the main or the county office
of the league knew anything about
or had anything to do with the sane
tioning of the Gladstone meeting. He
states that endorsement of county Of
.fcers is against the platform of the
organization. His letter to W. J

ber of the league, appears at the heao

Jesse DUKE lobe
a.. GIYENSECOND trial
First Degree Murder, Verdict In
Federal Court Set Aside

Jesse Duke, the eolored civilian en-
ploye of the Schofeld army post at
Leilehua, convictedq by a jury in the
federal court some weeks ago of first,
degree murder, with the death penalty
deleted, however, by motion of the
jurors, will get q new trial.
The motion for a new tria was
granted in the federal court yesterday.
A. ton in regard to alleged faults IN
the indictment on, which Duke was
convicted and probably on which he
will be given his second trial was
passed UP. A.. an ,.., ...
Duke was convicted of the murder of
G. NJ. George. an aged white civilian
employ6 at the same post and money
lender. The testimony was entirely
circumstantial and not of the best
many who followed the trial have
claimed. Surprise was expressed when
turned by the jury, which had been
ont considering its decision for ten
hours.
Several reasons were urged by
George A. Davis and Charles s. Davis
who defended Duke, why he should be
given a new trial. This was granted
yesterday solely on the ground that
the prosecution had failed previously
to the trial to furnish the defendant
with list of the witnesses for the
government, as required by law.
Duke was remanded by the court in
to the custody Of Marshal Smfddv and
the ease put over indefinitely. This il
another case in the trial of whict
Judge Vaughan will not be qualified
TO Sit, as the prosecution in the first
trial was conducted by him. 1t will bC
tried by the other federal judge, prob
ally, unless the defense should raisc
objection and such be held good.
