STEALINGS CONTINUE

The burglars go their merry way

the O'Donnel gang roundup.
On Wednesday night, las week, the
Royal Bowling alleys were visited and

Mr.. John Levanetz Of Two Rivers
was returning home from the Eagles
minstrel show here last Saturday

spread so fast that nothing could be
done but let it burn itself out winch
it did making a thorough job oil the
destruction. The charred wreck was
towed into Two Rivers.

vived by nine children, fifty-three
grandchildren and twenty-six great
grandchildren. Three sons, George,
John and Elijah have passed away in
recent years the last within a month.

her a shock from which she never raj
lied. Two daughters, Mary and Ju-

The surviving children are Wilt
am, Walter, Frank, Charles, Mrs.
Charles Christensen, Mrs. Robert
Boeckman and Mrs. Charles Allen, all

i IL % % the bench must, then,
be a gentleman, within the highest
definition of the term. He must be
a well-versed lawyer, man consci-
Gus of the gravity of his obligations,
a man of strict integrity.
Such man is Michael Kirwan. His
retirement would be regretted by the
bar and by the laity. 1t is creditable
to the bar and to the laity that they
procured and have retained a man of
the moral qualities and ample equip
ment of Judge Michael Kirwan. He
should, and probably will, have a clear
field for election.

LEMKE TO ASK REHEARING

Attorney General Lemke has filed a
motion for rehearing in the case in
which the supreme court decided that
the Bank Of North Dakota was not
branch of the state government and
was liable to garnishment the same
as any private institution.
The attorney general holds that the
decision Of the court is in conflict with
the referendum vote by which the
Bank of North Dakota and other indus
tries were authorized and that the
state was authorized to engage in
business in its sovereign capacity and
no other.
He says the court compared the
state banks Of the south, which were
created as distinct and separate en-
titles and corporations by the states,
that the decisions assumes that de-
partment Of state can be sued, and
that the court failed to take into con-
sideration an act exempting banks,
from garnishment and that there was
. divided opinion Of the court on vital
issues.

PATRONS KEEP SCHOOLS
GOING

Praise for the school patrons Of the
state for coming to the financial sup
port of schools in their communities,
enabling them to keep open during
the last two months when school dis
tricts have been unable to get funds
from the Bank of North Dakota, was
voiced today by Miss Minnie j. Mel
son, state superintendent Of public in
struction.
"a remarkable spirit of education
has been shown" said Miss Nelson.
People have financed their schools by
buying teachers salary warrants and
meeting other necessary expenses.
Many merchants have taken warrants
when they could not well afford to do
so. "A great many schools would be
closed were it not for the splendid
| financial support Of the men and wo.
men Of the state"

THE DEVILS LAKE CONVENTION

The editor of the Record it at
Devils Lake this week as a delegate
to the independent convention to de-
eide the matter Of recall. Emmons
county Independents are almost solidly
against the recall. However, indica-
.tions are that the vote on a recall
will be close in the convention. The
Emmons county vote will be cast
against the proposition, and we can
only hope that the majority sentiment
expressed there will protect the state
from a recall at this time. This is
not through any sympathy for the ad-
ministration, but far from it. 1t is
absolutely certain that the league Of
ficials have conducted their attack
without reserves, and it is absolutely
certain that the next few months will
find them in still greater difficulties.
A great many of the independents be-
lieve that is is now good policy to let
them founder in their own slough of
Despond for time. The electorate
of, the state will thus be the more
surely convinced by the time the regu-
lar election rolls around.
Many leaguers are frankly admit
ting now that they are suspicious of
the soundness Of the methods pursued
by the league, but they need a little
more definite demonstration of the fall
lacy Of the league schemes to convince
them. -
Of course, if a majority of the inde-
pendents in a fairly-constituted con-
vention decide for recall, there will
be nothing else to do.

ANOTHER YARN EXPLODED

Last week the Record carried an ar
ticle relative to the turning down of
a check by the Bank of North Dakota
on Livona township funds deposited
there. In Hazelton we were in
formed that Charlie Clark had an ex-
PLANTATION of this impossible condition,
although he admitted it had been told
to him and he wouldn't vouch for it
being correct. Charles story was
that the, Bank of North Dakota had
turned down the Livona checks for the
reason that the county treasurer had
RENTED to Treasurer Baker, of Livo-
ma Township, with check drawn on
some Hague bank, and that. the Hague
bank had refused to honor the check
when sent to it by the Bank Of North
Dakota. His story then goes on to
state that the Bank of North Dakota
refused to honor Livona checks until
such time as this Hague institution
honored the county treasurer's check
Charles story would bel a mighty
nifty excuse except for the reason that
it has no foundatio,A in fact. The
fact is that Treasurer Atha RENTED
township funds to Mr.. Baker, treas
urer of Livona township, by means
of check drawn on. the Bank of
North Dakota itself. The amount
was for $780,: Mr.. Baker then de-
posted the check in the Bank of North
Dakota, and that institution accepted
the deposit. However, they later
turned down Livona's checks, "regis-
tering" them instead of making pay
ment.
We are told that Mr.. Clark made
the statement that he would himself
go to the Bank of North Dakota and
stir up things until the Livona checks
were paid should it develop that the
story he had heard about some Hague
check being turned down proved to be
untrue.
It seems that Charlie and the Bank
Of North Dakota ought to be due for
a discussion of the matter.
