class president, has announced the fol

The choice of this four-act romantic
comedy marks deviation from the
usual type of high school class plays.
It is perhaps little more pretentlous
than the light comedy generally at

COURT ORDER GUSTS BURKE
COUNTY TREASURER TODAY

Bowbells, N. D., May 5.--Judge
George II. Moellring issued an order in
the district court at Williston this
morning ousting Lawrence Larson, re-
firing county treasurer from office and
ordering him to turn over office to j..
4. Jensen, ,Nonpartisan Lacquer, elect
ed Nov. 2. Court action followed the
refusal of Larson to give up the Of
flee when Jensen refused to give him
a receipt for all money due the county
from the outgoing treasurer.
Jensen asserted Larson had $1,000
on checking account and $1,000 on
time deposit in the Bank of Larson,
now :closed, and S35.O00 in another
bank which had not furnished bonds.
Jensen desired to hold Larson person
ally responsible for this money and
under this condition Larson refused to
give up office.
Jensen had stated he intended to de-
post Burke county's money in the
Bank of North Dakota. Last week
Larson placed Sl65,O00 on time de-
post in Burke county banks and this,
with $4,000 out on seed loans, ties up
the county's money so Jensen could
not transfer it to the state bank. Some
of the certificates Of deposit. it is said,
run for two years.
A hearing will be held in Minot to-
morrow morning at which time Larson
will be given an opportunity to Sho"
cause why the order should not be
made permanent.

and Chas. Lano, former chief OF po-
lice, were given their preliminary
hearing before U. S. Commissioner +.
c. Upton, Monday, charged with trans
porting liquors and were bound over to
federal court under 81 1000 bonds each
bonds being furnished. Dudley L..
Nash appeared for the defendants and
S. N. Nuchols, assistant U. S. district
attorney, conducted the governments
case. At each session the capacity of
the federal court room was taxed.
Hjaimel Howe of East Grand Forks
and Martin Gilbertsor, Bottineau
county farmer, were the only wit
nesses heard. Howe testified that he
was at the Gilbertson farm March %
with Clifford Went Of Grand Forks.
They We're repairing their Cadillac
when 4 mysterious stranger, posing as
q. federal officer, appeared. The
stranger carried his right hand in his
poeket as if he had something in it.
When Reed and lano drove up, he
said, the stranger departed after talk
ing with them. Gilbertson testified
that Lano and Reed drove up to his
farm and said they were looking for
gh-jackers, and asked him where the
whis;ey was planted. He said he did
not know, but says the men went into
the hog lot, found the whiskey in gun
ny sacks, loaded it into their car and
drove away That night six or eight
men came to his farm and stole the
Wentz Cadillac, but says he did not
see Reed or Lano with them.
Attorney Nash stated that Lano had
been deputized and that Reed was a
law officer and had a perfect right to
go after high -jackers. He said that if
whskey had been taken from the Gil
bertson farm, the government had not
shown that the men did not have a
right to take it and turn it over to
some state court of equal jurisdiction
with the federal court.

Peter Ehr Asks Condemned Building
to be Razed

Peter Ehr, proprietor OF the NaVef-
ly hotel building, appeared before the
city commission Monday and asked
when the old Scofeld implement build
ing, which was condemned some time
ago, was going to be removed. He
claims that this is a menace to his
own building on account of the in
creased fire insurance rate. Mr.. Ehr
was informed that the matter would
be looked after in the course of two
or three weeks. ..
The building and lot were recently
purchased by the Daily News and the
intentions were to raze the building
and erect a new block for the News.
Since then the News has bought from
w. S. Shaw the block on First St.
S. w. now occupied by the Minot
Steam Laundry, which concern is pre-
pairing to move into it's new home
one block south. The News will re-
model the building and build an addi-
tional room on the rear to be used
as press room and hopes to have
the building in readiness by June !.

TO COLLECT $l5,OOO DE-
LIN0UENT TAXES FROM COUNTY

Mr.. Clifford of Mohall, represantinr
a Mohall firm engaged in the business
OF checking up back taxes for cities
appeared before the city commission
OF Minot Monday and made proposi
Jlon to check up the bacl, taxes tina
Mln0t has coming from Ward county
The city Of Minot undoubtedly has
good many thousand dollars as its
share of delinquent taxes which have
been paid to the county in years past
No one has ever checked uD the cour-
ty's record to determine lust what tile
city has coming, tho City ,Attorney #
j. CoYle estimates that it could easi
be $4,000 or more. If the city does
not make check up the money will
70 by default. Mr.. Clifford proposes
TO check the records, put in a claim
for the city's share, and then if the
county commissioners refuse to pay
the amount, bring mandamus proceed
ings against the county or file suit.
He proposes to look after the city's
interests on a commission basis. In
case the city collects nothing from
the county, the city will not be out one
cent. The commission appears favor
able to Mr.. Clifford's proposition but
Commissioner Shaft moved that the
matter be delayed for one week to
give any possible Minot concerns who
might want to bid on Going the work
an opportunity to present the matter
to the commission.
Mr.. Clifford explained that in the
city of Mohall, with an assessed valu
alton of S5OO,00000, their share of
the delinquent taxes from Renville
county amounts to S2,700.00

Mercer, Hadley and Watkins Address
MinOt Rotary

The Minot Rotary luncheon was
held today with Peter Fugelso acting
as chairman. Secretary Burt Stewart
reported seventeen members as hav-
ing a 100 percent attendance record
for the past three months. ira Jones
has a 100 percent attendance record
for year.
"Ted" Mercer, one of the mission
aries holding a series Of meetings at
the Episcopal church this week gave
a fine talk. He related how at the
age of "a he had been down into the
gutter from drink and all manner OF
crime and how he had finally been
saved by the grace of God. In his
travels about the United States he
has visited $50 penitentiaries and
talked to some $4,000 prisoners. Or
that number nearly all Of them are
mere boys who have gone wrong be-
cause they have not had the right
kind Of an example to follow. He
stated that he rejoiced that Rotar-
ians everywhere were spending their
money and giving their time in the
interests of boys but he warned them
that what is far more important IS TO
set a good example for them by the
right methods of living. Boys watch
the men very closely and think that
if it is all right FOR men to drln!. and
carouse, there is no reason why they
cannot do the same thing and still
take their proper place in the world.
Mr.. Mercer is nephew of one OF
our presidents, Chester A. Arthur.
Henry H. Hadley, who is associat-
ed with Mr.. Mercer in their meetings,
also spoke and told how he had been
raised up out Of the degredations of
sin by the power Of Christ. Mr..
Hadley some fifteen years ago was
the owner Of a thriving gambling
house in the city Of New York. These
men know life and are in a position
to say which is the better path to
pursue.
+. L. Watkins, of the state enforce
ment department, was guest Of F.
C. Upton, who introduced him not as
"Shoot to Kill Watkins" but as a
man kind and true, but one who was
not afraid to assist in enforcing our
laws. Mr.. Watkins stated that he
appreciated the assistance he was re-
ceiving from the citizens Of Minot
He predicted that the Volstead act
was here to stay, regardless Of the
Attorney Generals recent ruling. He
stated that his department was away
behind in it's work and that there
are 200 places where stills have been
reported as operating that remain tc

sweetness of living and did not pro-
pose to be annihilated, he headed the
car into ditch. The Cadillac shot

utes later another Cadillac, evidently
the Watkins sleuth car came along
nearly as fast. A farmer earned
