trusted lieutenant, who didn't chance
| to have bond, or who discovered
some other loop-hole for escape, got
away with something like Sc, 600. Jack
| caught the fellow and was going to
sue him, but he found the states at
torney and the judge and the jury all
stacked against him, and he dismissed
the action and accepted the eulprit's
note
And besides, there was that Sis, 200
which he had been compelled that very
morning to turn back into the Ameri-
can Exchange bank Golfers to make
up that hateful impairment of capital
and surplus. And, to add to his htmi-
liation, no one would give him credit
for having done it until the cashier
Of the Valley City bank wired that, the
money had actually arrived and had
been deposited othe banks account.
Aandahl Escaped
S. j.. Aandahl, chairman of the
North Dakota railway commission,
and citizen of Barnes county, was
one of those who escaped. The promo
tiers of the Valley City consolidation
had him down for $4,000 worth of
stock. Chairman Sam could have
bought $4,000 worth just like that.
All last week he and his son hauled
S2.06 wheat to market at the rate of
5000 per each apiece, and they have
week or two of hauling ahead of
them yet. But Mr.. AandahE couldn't
see the wisdom of paying promoter
10 per cent commission when the
farmers were all filthy with money
and simply rarin' to go. So he bucked
on the $4,000 proposition but lowed
he might take 10 shares. And then
he began wondering why he should
pay Jack Hastings 500 commission
for selling him $1,000 worth Of stock,
that he, Mr.. Aandahl knew perfectly
well he wanted and why he wanted it,
and finally he just sat down i'm the
railway commission offices here and
wrote 'em to count him out on the
deal
How He Would Feel
II don't Know how the farmers who
bought the stock in this proposition
feel about it." said Mr.. Aandahl yes
terday. Il know how would feel if
I had gone in on it. / don't pretend
to know much about the transaction,
but as far as I cam learn there seems
to have been clear cleanup of $2O,-
600 for the promotion, $4,000 margin
on the purchase Of majority stock in
the old national bank, and around
$4,000 on the trade on the bank
building. That doesn't LOOK good to
me. l can't see where it is going to
do our organization a bit of good.'
Mr.. AandahT is pioneer Lacquer:
He is quite wealthy Barnes county
farmer He was elected railway COM
missioner in 1916 and reelected in
1918, the only one of the three r1enr
bers of the board who survived the
two years ordeal.
