What Figures show.

" = Z
On November II. 1920, the Bank of
North Dakota had s$1,5S7.62 deposited
In the Prosper State bank. On. that
same date it attempted to draw a
draft for $500. on the Prosper, State
bank. This draft was still outstand-
Ing at the time Of the senate investi-
cation.
On January "a. 1921, the Bank Of
North Dakota had $1.067.62 deposited
in the Prosper State bank, and on that
date sent to the Prosper State bank
a telegraphtc order for $500. This
order was not honored.
So far 50 good; but
WHEN BANK CLOSED.
The Prosper State bank closed
its doors on sFebruary Fl, 1921,
and on February al, 1921. the de-
posits OF the Bank OF North Da-
kota in the Prosper State bank
amounted to 42s,317.e2, accord
ing to the sworn statement OF the
officials OF the Bank of North
Dakota. This Is shown on page
6O2 Of the Journal of the senate
already referred to-.
Now got this: According TO tho
sworn statement of the Bank of
North Dakota officials they were
making every effort to get the
funds Of the Bank of North Da-
kOea out of the private banks or
the state as the Bank of North
Dakota wns unable to meet Its
obligations. They had made two
unsuccessful attempts TO with
draw funds from the Prosper
State bank, so 1t must have been
plain that tho condition OF the
Dank was none too healthy.

Hikkinen danced with Anna Arvola

Police are working on the theory
that Hikkinen was intoxicated and

worked himself into a rage when
Pauttu questioned the size Of his
