DRAFT EVADt8 !.
CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Stanley, N. n, Sept. 12.-Moun-
trail county officers are having con-
siderable difficulty in, apprehending
John Stupard, draft evader and one
who has been suspected of com
mitting the various robberies in the
mast week or two. On Tuesday
night the sheriff got close enough to
talk to Stupard and called on him
to surrender but he replied by shoot
ing the sheriff in the face with q
shot gun. He was thought to have
been surrounded in q coulee but
managed to evade his pursuers and
escaped on a bicycle which he had
stolen. The officers have q couple
of blood-hounds now and are on his
trail but at the present writing he
has not been captured. :s%Ss>,s.
On previous occasion when the
posse were out after this same GRIM
inal and supposed that they had
him surrounded, they mistook each
other in the darkness for the bad
man and exchanged shots with no
serious results other than q. few
shot In the person Of the sheriff and
a 20 calibre bullet wound for the
barber.
In the deep coulees south Of the
county seat the robber finds secure
hiding places where he keeps watch
and his captors are liable to have
their hands full as ne has made the
statement that he would never be
taken alive. .y. :s

BURKE COUNTY IS
allotted |. $4,000.
ssz,ss tE : :: ~ 49,

r. H. Farmer of the First Bank OF
Flaxton, and director OF the sale Of
the Fourth Liberty Bonds was in
the city on Monday of this week
completing the final details Of the
drive which starts on Sept. 28th.
T:iie county. organization was per-
fected at Columbus last Saturday
evening, and A. G. Wiper of the First
National Bank of Bowbells Will have
charge Of the drive in Bowbells
and vicinity. Mr.. Wiper has had
charge of the sales here during the
last three drives, and under his sup
ervision this vicinity exceeded its
allotment each time. Burke county
is now asked to raise larger
amount than 1t did during any time
in the past. During the first drive
We were not asked to buy any cer-
tain amount, but about $4,000
worth of bonds were sold. During
the second drive we were allotted
$4,000, and this amount was ex-
ceeded. We were asked for $685.
600 In the third drive and this was
also exceeded. Now we are asked
to raise $4,000 with an oversub-
scriptfon of ten per cent, and while
the amount looks very large& when
we take into consideration that the
crop here this year is practically
nothing and that all residents of
Burke county have been donating
very heavily to various war work,
The Tribune is sure that this amount
will be raised without much diff
Guilty. We have never fallen down
in the past and will not do so now.
Burke county was originally allotted
to buy $150,000 of this loan, and
Director Farmer put in some very
hard work before he was able to get
this cut down one half on account
OK the poor crops here. The organ
ization in Burke county Is perfected
all the way through, and every per-
son will be asked to buy all he is 4
able during the first day of the drive.

SEIZED STEAMERS
LOANED BY u. g.


The Martha Washington, one of
the German ships which was seized
by the Government at the opening
Of hostilities with Germany, was
used for the staging of scenes, in
Metros great screen spectacle LEST
We Forget" starring Rita Jolivet,
which comes to the Royal Theatre
on Wednesday, Sept. 18. The Mar
tina Washington is one of the larg-
est vessels taken over and renamed
bv the United States.
Owing to the prevalence of spies
and mischief makers of all sorts,
vi;itors were excluded from the
alien ships interned in the port, but
in. the case of Miss Jolivet, the Gov
ernment lifted the ban, as Lest
We Forget" is vivid screen pre-
sentation of the causes contributing
to the American entry into the war.
This leviathan was used for the
staging Of scenes showing the panic
Of the passengers on the ill-fated
Lusitania, the sinking of which
forms one of the impressive specta-
cular features in this wonderful pic
ture. In picturing the disaster, the
icy waters of New York Bay provid-
ed realistic setting for the scenes
showing the escape Of passengers
from the sinking ship. At one time
there were two, hundred people
floundering about in the water be-
fore the battery of cameras. A host
Of expert swimmers was engaged to
swim in these water scenes. Many
and thrilling scenes of
realism were staged on the borrow
ed liner.

his throat with knife some time
last night near the farm home of
T. E. Richards nine miles west OF

near Kenmare but has been employ

FORMER OFFICIAL HAS
"a $4,000 OF STATES MONEY

w. c. Gilbreath, of Bismarck for
mer commissioner of agriculture and
labor, is holding $2,22S.34 belong
ing to the state, alleges State Audi
tor Carl Kositzky, which he has had
for four, years. Gilbreath, in mis-
term, was custodian of the funds
appropriated for the Bismarck In
dustrial Exposition by both the state
and Burleigh county. In December,
1914, he refused to turn the money
back to the county on the grounds
that he did not know to which gov
eminent the unspent balance belong
ed. Since neither the state or
county has made any effort to get
the funds back, Gilbreath has been
holding them under his personal ac-
count. II think he ought to be
compelled to turn the money over to
the Red Cross with per cent inter-
est" said Auditor Kositzky. Mr..
Kcsitzky is asking Governor Fra
zicr to act in the matter.
