Boiler Exp|odeS
Two Men Killed

As a result of the worst railroad
accident that ever happened in this
vicinity, two men were instantly
killed and two dangerously injured
this morning at 5:45, when the
boiler of Engine 1545 exploded with
terrific force.
The locomotive was attached to a
west bound freight that had been
switchingand spotting cars of stock
in the local yards for several hours.
When the accident happened the
train was on the second track, just
ready to pull out, the engine was
about 200 feet west of the depot.
Engineer S. Pitman and Fireman
Sylvester Shepherd met death in
stantly but their heads and faces,
at least, were not disfigured.
G. W. Hoppe, head brakeman, is
believed to have been on top of the
tender or in the cab when the ex-
plosion. occurred and was terribly
scalded. He was alive at last re-
ports but his chances for life are
thought to be small.

of steam. The noise of the explo-
sion was not loud but the air con-
cussion Jared buildings half a mile
distant.s 1t was evident to those
who heard the sound that an ex-
plosion had occurred. The great
cloud of steam that arose told the
rest of the story. George Torrell,
proprietor of theArcade, and rail-
road men who were eating at this
place, were among the first to ar
rive and helped to remove the in
jured men from the wreck

Application To
Convert Granted

Some time ago the Redwater
Valley State Bank, increased the
number of its directors from four
to five, and A. A. Sorg, head of the
Circle Mercantile Co. was elected
the new director, The present
directors Of the bank are w. c.
McClintock, M. A. Thoreson, A. A.
Sorg, NJ, Lehman and j. c. Moore
of Miles City.
On Wednesday the directors
held a special meeting at which
time it was decided to convert the
Redwater Valley State Bank into a
National Bank. The Comptroller
of the Currency, having granted
their application to convert and
authorized the use of the name
First National Bank of Circle,
the necessary conversion papers
have been prepared and within a
short time we will have a National
Bank in Circle.
The granting of the application
to convert, after a strict investiga-
ton by a national bank examiner
of the affairs of the bank and the
standing of the directors, speaks
highly for the past management
of the affairs of the bank and
promises well for the future.
With its capital of $4,000 and
its surplus of $4,000, the First
National Bank of Circle will be
the strongest bank in the Red
water Valley.

Patriotic Meeting
Well Attended

Although the big patriotic dem
onstration meeting held here last
Saturday evening had not been
advertised very much it was at
tended by large crowd.
As the editor was out of town
we are unable to give a detailed
writeup but the speakers were
Judge Hurley and Hon. Leiper of
Glendive. Both gave a good talk
on the vital questions of the hour,
particularly encouraging the pur-
chasing of Liberty Bonds so as to
help Uncle Sam win the war.
A committee was appointed con-
sisting of H. A. Jenson, c. R. Mil
Ter, M. A. Thorson, F. S. Kalberg
and Mrs. Florence w. Stephens to
boost the sale of Liberty Bonds in
Circle and vicinity and the past
week have been a busy bunch.
Quite a large sum has already been
subscribed by Circle people and it
is hoped more will.
We have said before that Circle
citizens were as patriotic a bunch
as can be found, and this week the
business men of the town are
again showing their patriotism by
donating the use of their regular
advertising space in the Banner,
towards promoting the sale of
Liberty Bonds. Look up the ad
and then buy bond, or as much
as you can. Show Uncle Sam you
the Liberty and Free
dom you are now enjoying, by
loaning him a few of your dollars.

Well Known Couple Weds

1t was indeed quite a surprise to
mano when the news broke out
that Miss Betty Mumma of Weldon
and Mr.. Peder Undem of Circle
were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony, at Glendive last Satur-
day.
To a few ofcourse,it was known
that of late Peder was quite a
booster for the Weldon country,
also spent considerable time out
that way and some wondered why
as Mr.. Undem's claim is down
Redwater a few miles. But when
the news of the wedding came the
whole mystery was cleared up as
Weldon is where the brides home
is.
The bride is a sister of Jerry
Mumma of this place, and one of,
Weldon's most popular young
ladies. She has one of the finest
claims on Mcclure. The groom is
one of the first settlers in this sec
ton and has a valuable farm near
town. He is a highly respected
and enterprising young man and
has more friends then you can
shake a stick at. The newly-wedsJ ]
will reside on their homestead on
Mcclure.

ders in extend congratu | a tions

News From
Camp Lewis

The past week we have received
letters from Sam Kirkegaard, ,Robt.
and Jack Secora and Maurice M.
Welsh, who are among the Circle
boys now at the Camp Lewis
training camp. All of them ask
that we forward the Banner, and
state they are getting along pretty
well, although its quite change
from a civilian to soldiers life.
Through the kindness of Jack
Secora we received a photograph,
a beautiful panorama view of
Camp Lewis, which is three feet
in length, and gives a splendid
view of the camp. Drop in and
see it.
Below is part of the letter re-
ceived from Maurice Welsh:
Well Ben as | promised to write
| shall endeavor to do so now but
presume some of the other boys
have already written and given
you all the items of interest.
The boys are all in good spirits
and taking good care Of
themselves. The Battalion COM
mander's orders are that every
man shall be in bed at 10 o'clock
but good portion of them are in
bed at 9 o'clock.
Some of the boys complain of
the grub and that they don't get
enough, but | have never yet left
the table hungry. Ofcourse we
don't get no pie or cake, and the
grub is very plain but consists of
such food as tends to build up
We all enjoy the physical exer-
cises and feel fine afterwards.
The drilling causes some sore feet
and the poor fellow who is unfor-
tunate enough to own corns or
bunions suffers quite a little.
Our uniforms will probably be
issued tomorrow and then we will
perhaps feel more like soldiers.
The climate is very damp here
and we have seen the sun only a
couple times since we came here.
1t is really surprising how well the
boys keep when one takes into
consideration the radical change of
climate.
We haven't received any mail
yet consequently we know no news
from home so chase a paper up
here once in a while and see if it
will get through. Our company
is officered by two of the finest
men ever met, both as officers
and as men.
Give my regards to all the boys.
Yours truly,
Maurice M. Welsh,
10th Co. of Tooth Depot Brigade.

members of the board of county
commissioners, came up for trial
on Monday in the district court, be
fore Judge Hurley of the 18th.
Judicial district. A jury was en-
paneled but later it was decided
that the questions to be submitted
we're of law, rather than of fact,
and the jury was discharged.
Attorney Frank P. Leiper, as
counsel for the defendants, filed an
answer in which, under section
6449, it was set up, as to the
Larson suit, that the statue of
limitations had operated against
all claims more than two years old,
before the filing of the suit.
This point was sustained by the
court, and the remainder of the
alleged claim against Mr.. Larson
and those against Messrs. Robin
son and Winkler were submitted
to the court on the agreed state
ment of facts.
The Judge took the matters un-
der advisement, giving h e
plaintiff 20 days to file brief and
the defendant 20 days thereafter
to file brief.
tits expected that Judge Hurley
will render his decision III the
cases the latter part of next month.

KHAKI CLOTH.

The Committee on Supplies Of the
Council of National Defense asks the
cooperation Of all organizations and
individuals in discouraging by the
force of public opinion throughout the
country the wearing of khaki by civil
ians. The demand for khaki cloth to
used by the military is very large. 1t
is correspondence important that civ
ilian use Of khaki should not compete
with the governments necessities. The
Committee on Supplies reports that
there are large stocks of clothing made
of other materials, and that these
stocks should be utilized without civil
ian demand for the kind of cloth need
ed by the military.
The Minot Association Of Commerce
suggests that citizens of Minot cooper
ate with the Committee on Supplies
in this important matter.

 "At any rate" MT Skinner replied, comedy Perhaps it might interest you to know how MT. Booth Tarkington happened to write the play for me He and I have been life long friends and he has often said to me that he would like to write a play for me; one that suited me all round; but this he never did. Then suddenly he became anxious to get back to playwriting. He'd been deserter from the ranks for long time; you see he'd been writing so many 'best sellers that he hadn't had time for writing plays. Any way, one day he said to me: I'm go- ing to write play for you the central figure of which is to be a beautiful man. What dye mean by beautiful man.? I asked, curiously. He wouldn' t say; I kept asking him; still no reply; I made many trips to Indiana; we held many consultations; still he wouldn't { tell me what his beautiful man was like; he wrote and rewrote his beauti- full man; he made him everything from a baseball player to a supreme judge; he clothed him in many different guises. Finally I said to him one day: 'Tark. when are you going to let me know something about that beautiful man of yours? When find him. ile replied.

FIRST ROLLING OF
 IRON IN ALABAMA

To the Editor of The Age-H Herald:
 In your issue of Wednesday, your in- teresting Hotel Lobbies" column is made to state that Alabamas first rolling mill was built in Birmingham in 1S79 This statement is in error, and to keep an item of history on early iron making in our state correct, will say, for information. that the first rolling mill built and op- erated in Alabama was by Horace Ware, a former citizen of this city.
 He erected this mill in 1858, at Shelby, of 12 tons capacity of heavy and small size finished bar iron, including the manufacture of cotton ties. In 1859 the plant was completed. and in December of that year made the first heat in his pud- ding furnaces. On April 4, 1860, the mill engine was started and all the machinery properly adjusted, and on April il, 1860, his forty eighth birthday the mill turned out Alabama's first days product of finished bar iron. The mill was destroyed by Wilson's raiders in April, 1865.
