 A number of United States Mar shals, however. may be interested in this threat Johnson fled the coun- try to evade trial under the Mann act. He went to France, but when the war broke out he skipped out of that country, too. Presumably this step was taken to avoid military duty.
 From France, Johnson wandered to Spain, but there he went back to the old life while in this country with the result that his money gave out and he soon found himself broI and without friends. As matter of fact, Jack lost every real friend he had while a champion He forgot his pals in Galveston, Tex. They pushed him up the ladder, but he "crossed" prob tically every one of them.

But the mother sees while he's

A thousand joys and a thous-

Yes, the mother knows that her

She sees what others cannot

And the mother knows when he

That of all the badies her own

who's spent his younger years in
vain and wanton folly, age is a
time OF sighs and tears, remorse

a hoary guy in sorrow wade and

OBITUARY

Mr.. Reuben Lester Norton who was
accidentally run over by an automo-
bile on the Heimes road little over
a week ago, from which death result
ed, was born, June goth, 1868 at Bara-
boo, Wis, coming to Valley City but
a couple of months ago to make his
home here with his family.
On Friday, Oct. II, while working
on the Heimes road, he was run down,
carried on the tenders and dragged
some distance by the fatal automobile,
receiving internal injuries from which
he was not able to recover, and on
Monday, Oct. q, at 7:16 p. M, just
two months on the date from the time
he arrived in Valley City, he passed
away at Riverside hospital, surround
ed by his wife and children. Thus all
plans of coy Thanksgiving and a
merry Christmas around the home fire
were scattered in a week, and their an
ticipation of mutual comfort ana JOY
was changed to present affliction and
sorrow. How great it is to know in
such moments, that there is one who
understands and cares, and to- Him
alone stands the hope of his family
The deceased leaves to mourn his
death the widow, five children, four of
which reside here, and one at Clear
Lake, Wis. He also leaves one broth
er in Miles City, Mont, one in Wheel
ing, West Virginia, and one in Mer-
rill, Wis, and a sister, whose where
abouts at present is unknown.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Eugene Nelson of the Scandi-
navian NJ: E. church, Thursday, Oct.
3Oth, from the family residence. He
was laid to rest at the Hillside cene-
terry, to await the great reunion day,
when wife, husband and children may
again be together in the land where
accidents, sorrow, partings are for
ever banished.-Contri

NEWSY LETTER !.
FROM CAPITOL

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 3O.-Attor-
ney General William LANCER today
made public letter sent top T..
Halldorson, the deputy bank examiner
whose Investigations resulting IN, the
closing of the Observation-Disclosures
bank at Fargo. The letter is tribute
to the man who discovered the rotten
ness in the Valley City bank deal last
February, and who made the report to
the state banking board showing that
J. J. Hastings and his friends had
MIXED the farmers Of SIS, O26.9l' in
cash and that they had put in poor
paper amounting to $36,375.0O in adj
dition to taking $4,000 commission
for organizing the bank. 1t was on
Hallderson's report that the banking
board , or at least the majority men,
bers, LANCER and Hall, took the action
which resulted in the Sis, 026.91 being
repaid in cash. and the $36,375 of the
doubtful paper being made good. Hail.
dorson graduated from the North Da-
kota university some years ago. He
came originally from Pembina cOun-
ty.
The attorney generals letter is as
follows:
October 20, 1919.
P. E. Halldorson,
Fargo, N. D.
Dear Mr.. Halldorson.
Newspaper dispatches convey the
information that the crooks and graft
ers and their tools have, through the
public press, done their best to dis
grace you and your fifteen years of
splendid service to the State of North
Dakota. You are paying the penalty
Of being honest.
Had you laid aside your honesty,
your high character, your integrity,
and gone down into the gutter; be-
come a hyprocrite, maker Of false
affidavits, a signer of prepared state
ments, a tool of those temporarily in
power, you would have been hailed as
a man who had earned his pay from
the state.
1t is men like you who do credit to
their college and their state. It is
men like you who are the backbone of
honest law enforcement and honest
government. Without men of your
character the words "public honesty
would soon become mockery.
You told me when in Bismarck,
some five days ago, that you wished to
resign. At my request, as Attorney
General, you kept your position, al
though we both knew, what the conse-
quences would be. Your testimony
given as Deputy Bank Examiner
against Mr.. Hagen and Mr.. Sherman
would have had greater weight than it
will in this way. It is all a part of the
game,--the game to interfere with
the honest administration of justice.
You, a man ashamed to earn his
bread and butter in any but an honest
way:-you whom money cannot bride
position cannot tempt, autocrats can
not control, and none can lead astray;

SUGAR SITUATION

Many consumers in Valley City ap-
pear to be under the impression that
an ample supply of sugar has been re-
ceived to take care 4 of their full re-
quirements. This is wrong. The sit
uation is serious and will continue so
for several months. Small allotments
must continue. Those who have a few
weeks supply on hand should not ask
for more, as there are families who
are entirely out.
We, as we'll as all other jobbers do
ing business in this territory, have
spared no expense in endeavoring to
secure sugar. When carload is Sc
cured it means several hundred mer-
chants must have their allotment of
same. Your merchants are doing all
they can to help you, and are unjust
ly criticized for a condition existing
over which they have no control.
