Vice Raid Warrant for
President Of 500 Line;

Minot, May 21.-Warrants were IS
sued this evening for the arrest of
President Edmund Pennington of the
500 railroad on charges Of importing
liquor for sale as beverage and aid
ing in the illegal sails of intoxicating
liquor. The warrants were issued by
Judge Dill on complaints sworn to by
Assistant Attorney General Daniel
stand taken by the 500 railroad in the
vice raid conducted by Attorney Gen.
eral LANCER about two weeks ago.
This morning states attorneys
subpoena was issued by Brennan for
Agent Belanger of the 500 under the
North Dakota prohibition law author
izing Investigations by the prosecut-
ing officers. Belanger, on the advice
of counsel for the 500, disregarded the
subpoena and after an extended con-
ference of the prosecuting officials
with the 500 COUNSEL and the refusal
of the 500 authorities to facilitate the
uncovering of evidence against the
liquor law violators, action against the
railroad officials was determined on,
and warrants issued for the 1Oca1
agent as we'll as the president of the
500. The warrants were placed in the
hands of the sheriff and service on Bel
anger will be effected late tonight or
tomorrow morning.
Under the new bootlegging law
which prohibits aiding or abetting in
the unlawful sale of liquor one of the
felony, and it is expected extradi-
tion proceedings will be brought in
case he refuses to come to the state
voluntarily. ..s.
1t appears that in the course of the
extensive investigation into liquor vio-
lations made by Attorney General
LANCER, States Attorney Herigstad
and Superintendent Watkins of the
State Enforcement league, it was dis
covered that there had been whole
sale violations of state and federal liq-
uor laws covering the importation Of
liquor and that concerted plan was
being followed by law violatOrs in
North Dakota looking to the importa-
tiOn of vast quantities Of liquor for
storage against the coming of the
bone dry law, July 1, 1917.
Other Investigations disclosed the
fact that the railroads had been bring.
ing in thousands of shipments to MI
not and delivering them to law violat-
ors or dummies and re-shipping thou
sands of empties consigned by local
piggers to Twin City breweries. a~.
During the past four days it is un-
derstood that Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Brennan has been busy with ~
battery of stenographers examining
all the draymen of the city and check
ing the freight and express records
with the result that the full signif-
canoe of the system by which illegal
shipments were made was disclosed.
The refusal of the 500 railroad to as
sist the prosecuting officials in un-
covering all the facts surrounding the
illegal shipments brought the matter
to an issue and the arrests followed.

City Finely Decorated
for Convention Weeks

During the months Of June and July
many conventions, picnics, etc., will

ty-fifth anniversary of the coming OF

meet.
All of these events will bring large
crowds. Valley City must put on its
best appearance and be dressed in it's
best. All places of business should
be decorated, etc.
In order to do this and to properly
entertain the visitors it is necessary
to have some money. It has been GUS
tomary in past years that each organ
ization meeting in the city would
make canvass and ask the aid of the
people to help finance the proposition.
We have arranged this year for a
committee to make a canvass to raise
money to take care of the entire prop
osition. The decorations will be red,
white and blue. Fast cOlors have
been ordered and we expect the decor
ations to stand through from Play
Day until the close of the Chautauqua.
Val1ev Citv will he dressed I'm for six
weeks. Now, good people of Valley
City, we must ask you to help in this
work. A committee will call on you
and trust you will be as liberal as
you Can. If we are to- be a. conven-
tion city it will be necessary that we
all aid in meeting entertainment and
decorating expenses. Think this over
and when the committee comes give
them welcome and donation.

Kathryn Recorder: La Tour & Paul
son, who have been doing the brick
laying for the J. B. Nelson Construc-
ton Co., completed their part of the
job on the mill and power house and
departed on Thursdays train for Mi
not.
The walls and partitions of the mill
are now six feet above the bins and
are steadily progressing upward at
the rate Of about one foot per day.
The war has brought about condition
which may seriously delay the work
on the mill. 1t seems that all the cars
used for the transportation of sand
and gravel have been diverted from
general use and practically turned
over to the government for the trans
portation of lumber to be used in the
construction of Wilson's great fleet Of
wooden vessels.
The excavation work on the Louis
n-Thoreson-Runck block is about
completed and Geo. Livingston is con-
structing the forms for the cement.
