Bismarck, n. d., July 81. Especially
School districts having an indebt-
edness above S per cent above the
assessed valuation of the district
cannot get loans from the state board
of university and school lands, under
a ruling by the attorney-geneeral's
office.
According to the opinion OF Attor-
ney-General Foster. the constitution
provided that the limit of indebted
ness should be 5 per cent Of the ~valu-
alton; and amendment provided an
additional per cent could be created
by majority vote Of the residents of
the district. He says that the supreme
court has held that the latter amend
ment is of no effect without an en-
abling act of the legislature. and that,
therefore, the school district indebt-
edness is limited to per cent.
Several school districts have had
elections and voted an increase in
their Indebtedness.

Bismarck, N. D., July 81. Especially
An appeal to the supreme court
has been taken by Henry Layer. serv-
ing life sentence for the murder of
eight people, from the decision of
District Judge Nuessle denying him
a trial by jury u.s.
Legal problems never before aris-
ing in North Dakota, will be thrashed
out in the highest state court in
the matter. Layer signed confess
sion shortly after his arrest May 13,
1920, in which he told of how he
killed the Jacob Wolf family, and a
chore boy, eight persons in all,
pleaded guilty before District Judge
Nuessle and was sentenced for life.
Layers attorney, Edward P. Kel-
ley, Of Darlington, urges that a trial
by jury be ordered for him on the
ground of newly discovered evidence
which included the finding of two
masks on the farm. Judge Nuessle
rejected the plea for trial by jury on
this ground. Kelley also alleges that
authorities obtained the confession
under duress, telling Layer he must
plead guilty to escape mob violence.
Under q law effective July l, Lay

til he has served at least half of his
life expectancy. }

Bismarck, n. d., July 22.-The
Bank of North Dakota's statement OF
registered checks does not indicate
all of the unpaid checks OF the bank.
1t has become known from many
visitors in the city seeking to find
out why the bank has not paid items
or notified the sender Of the non
payment, that the bank has made the
registration of checks optional. In
some cases the persons who sent
checks were asked II they desired
the checks registered. Some banks
have asked for the return Of the
checks, so that they could send them
back to the original holders. State
apportionment checks were not regis
tered at all.
The state bank has paid many
items during the week because Of
the depositing of large sums Of mon
ey by State Treasurer John Steen.
The money is realized in part from
income tax payments. A total of
100000 was deposited in the Bank
of North Dakota on July 10. Total
deposits Of the state treasurer in the
state bank in the month of July
reached $239, 809.85 on July 20.
These deposits have afforded tenn
porary relief to the bank, but it has
not been able to pay all Of it's items.
