while the light ones have vanished en-

stealthy sound apprised me OF their
nearness. and then war-bonneteu'

The fellow, instead of approaching

bulging and his jaw dropped. And

Transient At Mimic
Charged With Selling
Stock Without License

Grafton. n. D.. May z5.-Frank

the agent OF the Polish Navigation
company of New York city. was ar
rested at Mimic by Sheriff Frank
Mach. Tuesday. and arraigned in Jus
tice court to answer to the charge Of
violation of the blue sky laws.
Majuisak. who gives his place Of
residence as Pennsylvania, has exploit
ed his company in Mimic and vicinity
for two weeks. Sunday morning May
10, he addressed q large gathering
of mel in the basement Of the Sacred
Heart Catholic church after services.
thereby gaining the confidence Of the
credulous to the extent, OF doing a re-
munerative business in stocks.
4 A message to the states attorney
gives the information that Majuisak
held no license to sell stock in North
Dakota. VIII S. Mitchell, who has
charge Of the records Of the Blue
Sky commission, was here and testi-
fled hat neither Majuisak nor the
Polish Navigation company were
licensed to sell stock in this state.
This makes the charge against Ma
1uisak a severe one. His bail was
fixed at 800. which he deposited in
cash and was given his liberty.
The question of whether the COM
pany represented by Majuisak is legit-
innate and doing business on a sound
basis does not enter the case. The
point at issue is whether the company
and It's agent, Frank Majuisak, have
the legal xight to do business in North
Dakota.
1t is understood that some of. the
banks in the city have received no.
tice from the Protective Association
Of North Dakpta that stock In the
Polish Navigation Company of New
York city was being sold in this To-
cality, and that the status Of the com
pany was now under investigation.
