Chief of Police Martineson said to-

Trail of Tuttle Bank Bandits
Lost After Early Saturday
Morning

No trace of the yeggman who blew
the First National Bank of Tuttle Fri
day night had been found, according to
ingfOrmati0n from Tuttle this morn
ing.
The green Studebaker car in which
the robbers escaped was seen about
eight miles north of Tuttle at o'clock
Saturday morning, it was learned. The
farmer who saw the car said there
were two men in the front seat and
a woman in the tonneau. The car
was seen about four miles east OF this
point at Sis A. NJ. The farmer who
saw the car said there were five men
in it. 1t is believed at Tuttle that the
woman the first farmer saw was
man dressed in womens clothes fo-
the purpose of deceiving anyone who
saw the car.
A check-up made yesterday by bank
officials revealed that the loss was
Just about $1,000. Cashier Dornecker
said. OF this amount $2,1OO was in
cash. The bank was protected. by bur-
glary insurance.

The scene of the hold-up was to be
at Apple Creek, about eight miles east
of Bismarck.
The crew of an extra freight train
approaching the spot before No. 3,
found ties piled on the track. The
freight was pulling uphill, going very
slowly, and it was not difficult to stop
1t before. the pile of ties was hit.
The crew put out lights, which cast
CLEANS on the hills about. The crew
saw some men jump in waiting au-
tomobile and start east, as the lights
showed up the automobile. The ties
were removed, and the way cleared
for No. 3. !
The passenger train was west bound
and would be going down grade al
that point, travelling at terrific rate
of speed. Had the crew of the extra
freight not discovered the ties it is
almost certain that the flying passen-
ger train would have been wrecked, as
it would hardly have lleen possible to
stop the train before the obstruction
was reached.
Local police were not notified until
after 2 o'clock Sunday morning. Po'
licemen who met No. got one "hobo"
they were looking for, and saw two
others dart away through the railway

BASED ON ITS REPORTS

The board of railroad commission
ers has authorized the continuance OF
surcharge granted the Bismarck Gas
company in August, 1920, until No
vember l, 1921. The commissions or
der in the case follows:\
ORDER.
'This application is for the cOntin-
uance of surcharge granted to the Bis
marck Gas Company by this commits
sion in order No. 1873 on August 81,
1920, which order granted a surcharge
Of Is per cent to the then existing
rates, which surcharge became effec-
tive on October l, 1920 and cOntinu-
ing in effect for "a period of four
months thereafter The commission
retaining jurisdiction to continue the
surcharge thereafter il the monthly
reports required Of this utility indi-
Gated the necessity therefor. On Jan
.uaryf 6, 1921; the commission issued
its order continuing in effect until
May 1, 1921, the surcharge author,
ized in its original order No. 1853.
"The operating report Of this util-
ity for the month Of January shows
that the gross receipts from gas, coke
and tar amounted to $4,218.67, and the
reasonable operating expenses for the
manufacture of gas and its by-prod-
ucts during the same period we're $4,-
S15.44 and that its operating expenses
exceeded the receipts from. gas and
its by-products manufactured, by
$59677. The operating expenses above
referred to do not contain deprecia-
tion of the plant and equipment n
service, nor does it give consideration
to the proportionate amount of taxes
for the month of January. These two
items amount to $520.33, making q
total deficit of $1,117.1O for the month
Of January. There being no return
whatever to the stockholders Of this
corporation.
Receipts For Month. i
"For the month Of February, the re-
port submitted by this utility shows
gross receipts from gas, coke and tar
as 4.609.64 and the reasonable operat-
ing expenses were S5,2S2.S3, resulting
in an operating deficit of $67317.
which with the pro-rated amount of
depreciation and taxes, increased the
deficit to $1,193.56 for the month of
February. .,
1.-THE report submitted for the month
of March shows gross receipts from
gas, coke and tar, amounting to $4,-
1899. The reasonable operating ex-
penses are shown to be $5,317.91. leav-
ing an operating deficit of $55S.O2,
which when added to fixed capital
charge of $52336, gives a gross deficit
OF $l,O7S.35.
'It is significant that were it not
for the fact that the summer months
produce greater revenue and sOme)
what less expenses in operating, the
present rates would result in rapid
of the property.
Order Of Commission. -
ut is therefore ordered, that the
Bismarck Gas Company be authorized
to continue the surcharge as fixed in
order No. 153, on August, 1920, and
same to remain in effect until Novem-
ber 1, 1921, and the said Bismarck
Gas Company is hereby ordered to
continue furnishing monthly reports
of operating revenues and expenses
on or before the fifteenth of each sue
ceding month. The utility will be re-
quired to observe the provisions of
rule IA at least ten days priV to the
expiration date of this order"
