Mobridge. s. D., May 22.-Bankers
who attended the meeting OF group 10
and IL OF the South Dakota Bankers as
ISOLATION at Mobridge had an interesting
time when Butch" Treloar, bad man
from the upper Missouri country. held
them up. The scene was a reproduc-
ton of the old pioneer days.
There were two automobile loads or
bankers driving to the river to take
the ferry for a trip up the river, when
Butch" welding two huge, wicked
appearing AS, stepped from behind a
huge boulder and cried. hands up"
The bankers unloaded. James Lam
berton of Sioux Falls was told to place
his hat on the ground, and then the
occupants of the automobile were re-
quested to place their watches and
money In the hat. Then Treloar, as
the bankers dropped the money into
the hat, displayed his excellent marks
manshfp by pumping lead into each
coin as Ii was dropped.
After the collection, Treloar ordered
Lamberton to drive him southwark in
one OF the cars. The Sioux Falls man
obeyed, but just as the automobile got
under way, the sheriff of Walworth
county and a deputy appeared in a
Ford. AS soon as they got into range,
the outlaw opened fire, and the bank
ers witnessed as interesting pistol
duel as they had ever seen in the
movies"
And it was not until the bandit
had been overpowered, Ii Is claimed,

BIG POWER PLANT rs BASIS
FOR PRODUCTION OF NITRATES

Pierre, S. D., May 24.--The provision
in the greater army bill for the estab-
lishment OF a government nitrate plant,
and the effort to secure the location OF
the plant at Little Bend, on the Mis-
souri, has created a good deal or
interest and inquiry pertaining to the
process. The extraction Of nitrates
from the air In commercial quantities
can only be profitably done where cleo
tricity in large quantities can be cheap
ly secured; that is, a great water power
is essential. The process was first un-
dertaken at Niagara Falls in 1902, but
did not prove successful The next
year II was undertaken in Norway with
success and great quantities are pro-
duced there for explosives and fertil-
izer. Since the war, Germany has taxi
en- up the business with great success
and has practically carried on the war
by the use of nitrates thus produced.
The process Is relatively simple. Ar
Is blown through a superheated area
and then rapidly cooled. This separ-
ates the components OF the air and
crystalizes the nitrogen. The area
through which the air is passed
is heated to 5000 or 5000 de-
grees Fahrenheit by electricity and from
this heat the current Is colled by pass
II over quartz rock which Is kept at
low temperature by moving 1t over an
endless apron.
