Bismarck, N. D., April 18-A. c..
Townley and William Lemke of the
nonpartisan league shared in the di-
vision of the profit reaped by the Or
ganization of the American Exchange
bank of Valley City, according to the
statements Of Thomas Allan. Box
made to H. C. Aamoth, testified to
by Mr.. Aamoth before the banking
board yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Aamoth, in revealing to the
banking board the text of CONVEX
sation he had with Box at the time
the organization Of the state bank
and sale of the national bank was per-
fected, said that Box's statement de-
veloped from Mr.. Aamoth's observa-
ton that $4,000 profit, which was
being garnered by the transaction,
seemed pretty strong.
1t was then, in explanation of the
huge profit, said Mr.. Aamoth to the
II banking board yesterday, that Mr..
Box explained that it wasn't much of
a profit for any individual as it had
to be divided four ways, as '"Townley
and Lemke have to get their share"
The profit, originally $35, ,026, re-
duced to $4,000 when Attorney Cen
eral LANCER and Secretary Of State
Thomas Hall forced the operators to
replace $15,O26 that had been taken
from the assets of the national bank
while it was in the control of the
Box-Hastings combination, according
to the Box statement to Aamoth, was
divided four ways.
To obtain $15,026 additional profit
with the deal and of which portion of
the profit the farmers who purchased
stock in the state bank knew nothing
until the facts were forced out by
Langer and Hall before the banking
board, the price at which the national
bank was sold to the farmers was in
creased by that sum over the price
that it was sold by the stockholders
of International bank to the state bank
promoters.
Mr.. Aamoth testified that repeated
attempts were made by J. J. Hastings
to have him, Aamoth, aid them in
covering up the $l5,O26 additional
profits, but that he declined to do so.
The Aamoth testimony is the most
sensational development of a case
that already has attracted statewide
attention because Of the manner in
which it has brought to light the
marvellous workings Of the financial

ka. She taught school for three years
in that vicinity and on May 23, 1888,
sheVwas united in marriage to F. l..
