Something is due at Bismarck.
Bill Lemke has been here for several
days and his visit always means
something stirring. Lemke arrived
at the capitol sunday night and early
Monday morning called on Justice H.
A. Bronson of the supreme court and
was closeted with that jurist for an
hour. From Bronson's office he stalked
into the governors office. Well, your
guess is as good as the next ones.
That the special session Of the leg
islature, IL it does meet. should re-
peal House Bill 81 is the assertion of
Justice James Robinson of the su-
preme court In Saturday evening
letter. House Bill 81 prevents the
granting of injunctions or any orders,
ostensibly against labor. but as mat
ter of fact to the I. w. w., and de-
clares mo section Of this act shall
be found unconstitutional or illegal
by any court of this state" Recent

eanizer interrupted threshing crew
from its work, talked the hands into
striking for raise from 6Oc to $1.O0
an hour and laughed at the farmer
when he threatened to arrest the
man. He produced packet of pint.
ed slips, copies Of the law, and passed
them around. Attorney General
LANCER declares he has evidence to
believe every l. w. w. member or
organizer in the state has copies of
House Bill 81 in his possession and
that the bill, had it been drawn b.
Bill Haywood himself, would not bet.

Kositsky, acting upon a demand
made by William LANCER, attorney
general, at 1890 Monday noon

All checks, money and other proper

bank, arrived to find Kositzky in

"You haven't anything crooked in

The bricklayers are getting ready
for work on Community Hall, A

fications completed and Levi Harris
has taken contract for the brick
work.
Community Hall is going to be q
dandy building. Occupying two Of the
best vacant lots on main street Of the
city and running back the full length
Of the lots, it will show up in becom-
ing style as building Of this kind
should. The basement is divided into
rooms fore and aft. In the front will
be the boiler and coal rooms and a
store room for the two business
houses that may occupy the front Of
the building. The large open room.
50xto feet, will be used for store
rooms, something badly needed in the
city. Then to the rear win be toilets
and cloak rooms.
The opera house on the main floor
will be 50x100 feet. On the south
end will be the stage, fully. equipped
with curtains, asbestos curtain in
front. The main auditorium will have
a seating capacity Of $50. and the
horseshoe balcony will seat from $50
to 400 more, making 1t ample for
most Of the crowds that may want to
get together In Oakes.
The front rooms on. either side Of
the hobby entrance will be used for
business places and overhead in front
win be ONCE rooms. The front Of the
building will he dark brick trimmed
With reddish sandstone. The cost OF

which means that things VIII have to

going to be big thing for the COM
munity-to have place OF this kind
and the united support Of the COM
munity is needed.

ssNo."
On Saturday H. :. Hagen and p.
r. Sherman Of the bank were arrest.
ed as being responsible for the con-
ditions. The bank, and the League
papers have made political capital Of
the affair, asserting that LANCER and
Hall are crooks. that 1t is an attack

much as about sixty Der cent of the
security held by the bank. for the
$432, 900 in league loans is in post

Governor 1trasier has issued q state
ment to the effect that he believes the
bank is solvent.
He suggested that the bank remain
open for. business for few days, but
the attorney general and secretary Of
state refused to allow themselves to
become, by such action, party to a
crime by allowing persons to entrust
funds to- a bank known to be insol-
vent.
On Monday the attorney general
and secretary of state addressed a let
ter to State Auditor Kositzky re-
questing that he examine the State
Bank Of North Dakota and determine
to what extent. If any, the Waters
managed institution has been "mixed
up" with the Fargo bank.

With H. J. Hagen and p. R. sher-
man, president and cashier Of the
Observation-Disclosures Bank at Far
go, closed Thursday last, under ar
rest for making false reports to the
examiners; with J. R. Waters, man
ager Of the Bank of North Dakota,
cited as having tipped of to the Of
ficials Of the insolvent bank when
examinations would be made, and
this while acting as state bank ex-
aminer; with action taken by State
Auditor Carl Kositxky to learn, If
possible, just how far the State Bank
Of North Dakota is mixed up" with
the Scandinayian,American, the SEN
sation sprung last week when the
state banking board closed the Far
go institution is allowed breathing
spell, but the tenseness is not in the
least relieved.
, Three weeks ago, P. E. Halldorson,
deputy state examiner, who was in
Fargo, discovered Irregularities in
the Scandinavian.American Bank and
requested Attorney General William
LANCER to send aid. Assistant Attor.
ney General Albert, E. Sheets Jr.
went to Fargo and continued with
the examination. The report filed
Thursday was acted upon by the clos.
ing of the bank by the state banking
board on the grounds Of Insolvency,
and because officials of the bank had
made excess loans to the amount Of
$7S4, 1882 for which ''liberality and
optimism constitute the principal Sc
curity.
p. E.. Halldorson was named as
temporary receiver. Further investi
cation proved that among the debtors
to the, bank were the Consumers

than is per cent Of a banks capital

one individual or company. which in
the case Of the closed bank, would
have been $4,000. total of $500
Thus the excess loans made to the
