IS shot TO Death BY RED
M'CR|LL AT COUNTY JAIL

for his conviction, secured by States
Attorney Herigstad on the charge of
burning his house next to the Home
Hotel in order to defraud the insur-
ance company.
McCrill is an all-around bad man.
States Attorney Herigstad has five
times locked buildings which he occu-
pied, for the sale of liquor. He was
arrested for second ohfense pigging.
He was consistent law violator. His
wife, who served part Of her SEN
tence for pigging, received suspend.
ed sentence and is in Caada. McCrill
is 32 years old, has sandy hair, is 5
feet 10 inches high and weights 1870
pounds. He wore a light colored plaid
suit when he escaped.
Mr.. Thompson was Sc years Of age
and single. He spent his boyhood days
at St. Cloud, MINI. He came to Ward
county in '84 and settled in Scriptown,
east of where Minot now Islands. He
was painter and paper hanger by
trade. He was turnkey for Sheriff Lee
and later for Sheriff Kelley and for
two years for Sheriff Scofeld. He was
very reliable, quiet, unassuming
man. He was fire chief of the city Of
Minot for several years, when Le-
Sueur was mayor, and later while
Halvor L. Halvorson was president of
the city commission. He was an Odd
Fellow and>an Eagle. A sister lives

PRISON GUARD VISITS
WITH N|N0T FRIENDS
John Carter, for Seven Years With
Bismarck Penitentiary, Tells Facts
of Interest About Inmates
Praises Warden Mcdonald.

John Carter, pioneer settler of
Mountrail county, arrived from Bis
marck, where he has been guard at
the penitentiary for the past seven
years, and spent few days at the
home Of his niece, Mrs. C. F. Truax.
Mr.. Carter went to STAN ley to attend
to business.
Mr.. Carter has been in charge of
the dispensary of the penitentiary ever
since he has been connected with that
institution. He is the guard in charge
Of the patients in the penitentiary
hospital and gets along fine with them
all.
He speaks in very high terms of the
new warden, Chas. Mcdonald, who was
formerly sheriff at Mandan and once
state senator from that district.
Mrs. Hanlon has been matron of
the women's ward for many years and
is an ideal woman for the place. Her
husband has been superintendent of
There are four women in the peniten-
tiary and the number will be increas-
ed to five as soon as Zimmerman and
his wife from Granville, convicted of
manslaughter, arrive. There are
ABOUT IUU PRISONERS III CHe lHSClCuClOR
One of the women is Mrs. Mcdonald,
who with her husband was convicted
of the brutal murder of their little
daughter by kicking and beating hel
to death. Mrs. Mcdonald is a frair
little woman weighing about 100
pounds, while her husband is a big
brute of man. Those about the pen
itentiary consider that the woman is
scarcely to blame for the murder,
blaming the husband almost entirely.
Mrs. Mcdonald is very ill from heart
trouble and it is doubtful if she will
ever live to serve out her sentence of
five years.
Mr.. Carter during his long service
has had an opportunity to make quite
a study Of criminals. He says that J..
j. King, of Minot, sent up for burg
larry, and who escaped, has been SEN
fenced to some southern penitentia1y
for stealing and he will be brot back
to Bismarck as soon rs his term is out.
He had but a few weeks TO serve when
he escaped.

Ernie Thompson, turnkey at the
county Jail for Sheriff A. P. Sccfield,
was shot to death at the ,ail at about
seven o'clock this evening by Ward
C'Red") McCrill, who, securing the
turnkey's keys, unlocked the outer
door of the Jail and escaped. The
sheriff's forces together with the l2-
cal police are searching every. corner
of the city for the desperado, and if
he is found it is apt to go pretty hard
with him as feeling runs high tonight.
Mr.. Thompson was just putting up
the prisoners for the night and had
already locked several in their cells.
He was in the act of placing "Red''
McCrill in his cell, when this desper-
ate criminal shot the turnkey square
ly the forehead, killing him in
stantly. The prisoners who were still
cut in the jail corridor were too fright
ened to interfere.
The alarm was given by the pfis-
oners rapping loudly on the walls Of
their cells, which attracted the at
tention of Sheriff Scofield, who went
to investigate and found the dead man
lying on the floor.
Where McCrill got his gun is not
definitely known, but it is suspected
that his brother, Thomas, who visit
ed "Red" at the county Jail at p. m.
today, may know something about it.
Thos. McCrilf has been arrested and
is now in the city Jail.
The remains Of the jailer were tax
en- to the Rowan undertaking rooms.
McCrill was known to be very des-
perate character and States Attorney
Herigstad does not express surprise at
the deed he committed. McCrill was
serving three months term, having
been convicted in federal court of TAX
ing liquor onto the Reservation at
Sanish. His term would have expired
tomorrow, when he would have been
turned over to the state to serve a
sentence of from four to seven years,

and will occupy this location as a
salesroom and 9fice quarters for this

new salesrooms are ready for the pub
lie, we may rest assured that every
thing will be arranged along practical

guard to DepOsitOrs.

At the annual meeting Of the stock
holders of the Union National Bank
held at the counting rooms of that
institution Tuesday, Jan. 20, all OF
the members of the board of directors
were reelected, as follows:
E. S. Person, John Ehr, c. H. Zeh-

Immediately after, the officers were

E. S. Person, President.
C. H. Zehringer, Vice President.
V. r. Tompkins, Cashier.
A. G. Tompkins, Asst. Cashier.
The report of the business Of the
past year was read, which proved very
satisfactory to all concerned. The bus
mess has been conducted along con-
servative lines, this policy having al
ways been followed and this policy
has served the bank and it's patrons
well during the years of light crops.
The deposits have kept up remark
ably we'll, being considerably over the
million dollar mark at the present
time.
The stockholders at this time voted
to increase the capital stock from
$4,000 to 100000, leaving a substan-
tial amount in both the surplus and
undivided profits. This will give the
institution an opportunity to serve its
patrons in a larger way and at the
same time will mean an additional Sc
curity to the depositors.
Major E. s. Person, president O,
the bank for the past fifteen years,
concerning the policy Of the abnk,
says: 20
g / have always believed that there
should be a certain relation between
bank capital and deposits, and as our
business has grown and deposits have
we think it best at this time

THE SECOND NATIONAL
MAKES FINE SHOWING

Capital of 100000 With Surplus
Funds of Over St60, 0O0.0C--''Big
Bank for the Small Dep0sit0r."

The Second National Bank of this
city, Ward county's oldest banking
held its annual meeting
of stockholders Tuesday, Jan. 13.
The entire old board Of directors
was reelected as follows:
James Johnson, chairman; K. f.
Barron, Archie D. MCDANIEL, julius
Fauchald, f. w. Roach, A. A. Robin

With capital of $1000GQ90 and sur
plus funds of over $16O,000.O0, being

organization in 1897.
With resources Of over two million
dollars, the bank will take care of it's
customers with the same careful con-
s;deration it has in the past twenty

Union National Bank Capital
Is Boosted to $100,000.00

to double our capital as greater
safeguard to depositors. Stockholders
in National bank are liable for twice
the amount of their stock, so that the
larger the capital stock the greater
the stockholders liability. A capital
of about one-tenth of the deposits
seems to be about the right proper
ton, and in some states this is fixed
by law for state banks. Our deposits
are now running around the million
mark after a series Of poor crops
and we have decided to increase our
capital from $50 100000 to $1OO,OOO.OO
in order to properly protect our de-
ing business. There is no question
in my mind about the future Of Minot
and the tributary country. We are
going to have crops again, and as soon
as our farmers can adjust themselves
to the new conditions and get into a
system of farming, we shall have
prosperous and highly productive
community. That condition would Of
course reflect upon the city, and when
one considers how Minot has gone
ahead in spite of continued poor crop
conditions and consequently scarcity
OF money, 1T is not a great stretch of
imagination to see Minot the leading
city of our state. The Union Nation
al Bank wants to be prepared to meet
that condition and do it's part in help
ing to bring it about. 1t will be the
policy of this bank in the future as
in the past to encourage and help the
farmer and especially the live stock
farmer, for we believe in him most,
in every way in our power. We believe
that ban kis not fulfilling it's proper
function unless it meets the needs of
the community in which it exists and
from which it gets it's business. We
have been we'll treated by the people
Of this city and of the surrounding
country, and we shall make further
changes in our organization whenever
necessary to endeavor to do our full
part in the upbuilding, of this great
northwestern rart of our state"
