Declares He Was Always
Ready to Do His Bit For
Liberty Loan Drives:

Fargo. N. D.. Jun 2s.-Wesley c.
Mcdowell, state chairman of three
liberty loan drives In North Dakota
and one of the leading Democrats of
the state, has broken down the bar
riers of political prejudices in order
to come to the defense of a political
opponent. In a telegram to Chair
man Torger Sinness OF the Republican
campaign committee he gives the lie
to- slanderous statements published by
the League papers as to Attorney Cen
eral Langer's war work and declares
that the i-Socialist Republican
candidate for Governor always was
ready and eager to do his bit through
out the war.
Mr.. McDowelrs telegram reads as
follows:

vices as a speaker in the state during
the last three liberty loans. He was
especially successful in the German
speaking communities. We never

to so.

the crowd it would prohibit anyone
from putting a red pennant or an
automobile.

BERGDOLL MAY HAVE
BEEN IN BENNINGTON
War Department Officials Claim tC
Have Trace of Millionaire Draft
Dodger.

War Department officials in Wash
ington Sunday stated that they had in
formation which led them to believe
that Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the
millionaire draft dodger who was con
victed and sentenced to five-year
term in the federal penitentiary IN
Atlanta, Ga, but who escaped, had
been located in the northern section
of the country and chat his arrest was
expected at any time,
Some days ago The Evening Banner
published a brief announcement that
Bergdoll had been arrested near the
Canadian border through information
that had emanated from bellboy en-
ployed at the Putnam House here in
Bennington. The information con-
cerning Bergdolrs reported arrest at
that time came to The Banner from an
Albany newspaper correspondent who
intimated that the news was being
held up at the request Of federal au-
thorities.
Apparently the report Of Bergdoll's
arrest at that time appeared to be
nothing more than an unfounded ru-
NOR. The information given out in
Washington Sunday tends to show that
there may have been something in the
previous report
Francis Shea, the Putnam House
Bellboy who figured in the rumored re-
port of Bergdol's arrest, had left the
employ of the hotel on the day preced.
ing the appearance of the announce.
ment According to a forwarding ad
dress he left at the hotel he was going
to Far Rockaway Beach, N. Y, tc
work.
Shea was confident that one of an
automobile party of four that stopped
at the hotel was man masquerading
in women's clothing. The bellboy in
sisted that suspicious individual was
wearing too large shoes for woman
and also needed a shave Shea com
municated his suspicious to Sheriff
Perry B. Gardner who made a searcl
over the road to Rownal for the "bi(
blue car" in which the quartette hur
redly left the hotel, but without sue
cess
There is reward of $2500 for in
formation that will lead OF the ap
prehensr on of Bergdoll and the publica
tion of the rumored arrest caused
something of a. sensation here in tn,
village.

STOLEN ROWBOAT
ATLAKE HANCOCK
:. IS RECOVERED
Broken Paddock at BOathouse
Has Also Been Replaced
THREE BOYS GIVEN SCARE
Man Who Solved Mystery Will Dis
claim 500 Reward If Young Van
dals are Not Punished.

The steel rowboat belonging to the
Village Of Bennington water depart
ment, and which was recently stolen
from the boathohse at Lake Hancock,
has been returned and the lock on the
boathouse which was smashed with
bullets from a 32calibre revolver has
been replaced.
AS was originally suspected, the
theft and the smashing of the lock was
the work or irresponsible boys who
had been camping in the vicinity Of
the lake 1t has been learned that
three boys were implicated in the acts
Of vandalism and it is reported that
one of the trio has left town.
The recovery of the boat was
brought about by a man who is en-
ployed by Superintendent Lyons of the
water department. The man is an
xious that no prosecutions be brought
against the boys and in order that they
may escape the consequences OF their
acts he will relinquish all claim upon
the reward Of 800 offered by the wa
ter commissioner for information that
would lead to the arrest and conviction
Of the vandals.
Although diligent search had been
made for the missing boat it was not
discovered until last Friday. 1t was
located In the underbrush some dis
tance from the lake and entirely con-
cealed by young trees and shrubbery.
1t did not take the discoverer long to
place the responsibility for the theft
OF the boat and the destruction of pro
perty at the boathouse 1t is suspect
ed that the boys, frightened by the Of
fer of the reward for their detection,
made confession At any rate one
OF them lost no time in purchasing
paddock for the boathouse.
The boat has been returned to the
boathouse and the paddock is in place.
Whether or not the commissioners will
consider that the restitution will alb.
solve the boys from punishment will
not be known until after a special
meeting which has been called this
evening. Iu 0tf
