My Dear Glen:
must confess, that at odd times
when I have a moment to myself,
which is not very often, really do be-
come lonesome for my friends in good
old Minot. This is Of course only
natural after having lived there for
sixteen years and it will be some time
before I can ever think Of home as
being any place else but in good old
Minot, Ward county, N. Dakota.
I attended a fine meeting Of the
Rotary Club here and found every one
very cordial, and met some very fine

Harold Th0rson Estate Said to Greatly
Exceed the Appraised Value

With stock in twenty-three banks,
in Minnesota and North Dakota; stock
in numerous other corporations, lib
eral holdings in Liberty bonds, loan
of $4,000 to- the War Finance cor
poration, and large holdings in real
estate in Minnesota and North Da-
kota, Harold Thorson, former presi-
dent Of the Bank Of Berthold and
State Bank of Des Laos, who died in
St. Paul early in February, left an
estate valued by the appraisers at
81. 230, 1855.
The valuations placed on both real
estate and personal property are said
to be extremely conservative, and it
is reported that the true value Of the
estate will run at least $2,O0O,OO0 if
not more.
The real estate holdings are valued
at $91,211, said to be only part Of
the value, >and the personal estate is
placed at $1,139, OO4.55. The personal
property outside Of the stocks and
bonds and other securities, is valued
at $3.50. .
The filing Of the will in which he
bequeathed large amounts Of his es-
tate to various charities leaving the
residue to the College of St. Olaf, of
Mortified, and cutting of his children
with meager requests precipitated q
contest Of his. will. After several
hearings on the will, settlement was
reached by which the children were
said to have received 100000 each
and the contest was withdrawn.
After payment of the requests and
settling with the heirs, it is estimat-
ed that the College of st. Olaf will
receive out Of the estate as residue
more than S1.OOO,OOO. fs

Sundays Studebaker Damaged by
Fire

John Sundby, of the Minot Hide &
Tanning Co., suffered considerable
damage to his six-cylinder Studebaker
car Saturday afternoon from fire. Mr..
Sundby had left his car at local gar
age to have the carbon burned from
the cylinders and wanted to use it
before the workmen had time to ad-
just the valves. One Of the en-
ployes took the car out to try it and
y backfired while he was driving
along River street west Of the mill.
The machine was set on fire and the
local fire department was called out.
The coil, generator and radiator were
ruined and the fender and hood scorch-
ed. The damage was fully covered
by insurance but it may be that the
car will have to be sent to the fact
v to be overhauled generally. In
the meantime, John is doing some
walking and insists that he is losing
five pounds of avoirdupois a day.
