\ CHRISTMAS BANKING CLUB
Union National Shows How One Can
Save Good Sized Sum in a Year
Unique Method.

The Union National Bank will with
ir day or two mail out 1900 booklets
explaining all about their Christmas
Banking Club which will be started
within few days.
If you want to have some money
next Christmas the booklet will ex-
plain how you can easily have from
$3.50 to $3.50, just by little saving.
It's really surprising how RAPIDLY the
little drib-drabs count up. In these
prosperous times, it's easy to lay
aside little money each week. The
plan of saving for the Christmas
Banking club is very unique. The
money if left on deposit for a year
will draw 4 per cent interest.
Anyone who has not received one of
these booklets may receive one by
calling at the bank.
A membership in the club can be
started by depositing as small an
amount as one cent.

Surrey, N. D., Nov. 23.-Our COM
munity was called upon to witness two
funerals this week and many of US
think the Grim Reaper gave us more
than our share of attention for one
week.
Lottie Tofflemire, wife of A. B.
Tofflemire, who lived with her hus-
band and family six miles southeast
of Surrey, died Saturday afternoon at
two o'clock. She had been a patient
sufferer from cancer of the stomach
for the last two years, and while
everything possible for human hands
to do was done, the dread malady
finally got the upper hand. She had
been to the Mayo hospital at Roches-
ter, Mimi, five times, but to no avail.
She was Al years old and is survived
by her husband and two children, Mrs.
Chas. j. Callahan, of Minot, and a
son, Charles, who lives at home.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
afternoon at / o'clock from the Breth-
rem church, Elder D. T. Dierdorff

CORD0NS' BROTHER
ESCAPES FROM RUSSIA
Young Rabbi, After PerilOus Jour-
ney, Reaches Japan

Herman and Abe Gordon, the well
known Minot clothing merchants, re-
ceived letter from their brother,
Simon, aged 21, who has just escaped
from Russia after perilous journey
of thousands of miles. The brother
wrote the letter from Yokohama, Jap
an, just before sailing for Seattle.
Upon his arrival in Seattle, ne will be
met by one or both of his Minot broth
ers and brot to this city, where he
will make his future home.
Abe Gordon has never seen his
brother, having come to America be-
fore Simon was born and he was only
three years of age when Herman left
home. Simon showed such an aptitude
for learning that he was taken in
hand by the Rabbis of Russia, who
gave him high college education, in
tending to make a Rabbi of him.
Ii the war had not broken out, he
would have continued his work and it
is possible that he will yet become a
Rabbi in America. Many Jewish peo-
pie were drafted into the Russian
army to be slaughtered by the Ger
mans and the Rabbis took the young
nan, placing him in hospital shortly
after the war broke out. In this
way, he escaped service. He got out
of Russia by walking 70 miles at
night and riding in lumber wagon
24O miles over plowed fields, keeping
away from the main travelled roads.
When far enough away from home,
lie continued the distance by rail.
The parents of the Gordon broth
ers were driven from their homes
when war broke out and are now
somewhere deep in the interior of
| Russia.

CLAUDE PEOPLES
GETS LIFE SENTENCE
COlOred Man Who Killed Frank Gregg
in Harris Joint in Minot Guilty of
Murder in First Degree.

The case of the State of North Da-
kota VS.. Claude Peoples, colored,
charged with murder in the first de-
gree, has been decided. The jury
found Peoples guilty at three o'clock
this morning, recommending his pun
ishment at Imprisonment at hard la
bor in the penitentiary for life. The
case went to the jury at shortly after
6 o'clock Wednesday night. The jury
was unanimous for conviction from
the start and at 3 o'clock the entire
matter had been closed.
Judge Leighton was on hand at
shortly after nine o'clock this morning
and as soon as the states attorney
and the defendants counsel were on
hand, the prisoner was brot into the
court room. He is big, lanky, husky
negro, with low degree of intelli-
gence and when sentence was passed,
he did not show any concern. The
woman who claims to be his wife sat
in the court room when the Jury filed
in and when the finding was read she
appeared to be just as happy as if she
was getting ready to go to q colored
ball. She did pretend to wipe away
a crocodile tear or two but the bailiffs
did not have to bring in any buckets
to catch the overflow. Mrs. Peoples
was allowed to converse with her
'man" for few minutes before he
was taken back to Jail.
Peoples attorneys, Bradford &
Nash, moved for stay of sentence
pending a motion for new trial and
Judge Leighton informed them that
sentence would not be passed for three
OF four days.
The jury comprised Geo. T. Murray.
foreman; r. H. Emerson, H. Benno,
L. I. Larson, Sam Johnson, Julius
Camp, A. j. Lee, Windel Alderman,
Otto Might, Jacob Marshall, Chester
Campbell and Adolph Kruger.
The case was prosecuted in very
able manner by States Attorney o.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-11-23

B. Herigstad, assisted by Atty. Ed.
Bradford & Nash, fought the case in
a very able manner, but the evidence
pointed too clearly to Peoples guilt
for them to hope for anything except
conviction.
The evidence brot out was substan-
TALLY the same as that printed in the
Independent following the murder.
Gregg, Peoples and E. Golden, some
times known as Golden Brown, met at
a colored ball at Harris place, deter
mined to settle their difficulty. They
had had trouble because of stories
which each had told concerning the
infidelity of their women. Peoples and
Brown were out after Gregg's hide.
The men went up stairs at Harris
joint and Peoples started operations,
inflicting wounds from which Gregg
died the following morning. Gregg,
in defending himself, shot Ed Golden,
but not fatally. Gregg sat in chair,
holding his gun on Peoples and could
have finished him. He made Peoples
hold up his hands and remarked that
he could kill him but he would never
take that which he could not give
back.
| At the trial, the attorneys for the
defendant attempted to show that the
bullet which caused Gregg's death
first struck trunk and it's course was
DETECTED. Peoples went on the stand
himself, but was poor witness. He
lied when the truth would have been
better for him. Ed Golden took the
stand in Peoples behalf and made a
good witness, but Peoples practically
! convicted himself.
