declares it is a necessity to clean UP

"TD prove the charges { official

he continues. IF the Noupartisnns
want to recall Independent officials.
they will have to recall them because
of political differences, as they have
made no charges of official misconduct
and they have no evidence with which
to prove such charges if they were to
make them."
In commenting on tie reports Of

l. V. A. headquarters has issued a

on Situation in State

conditions throughout the middle
west were outlined here today by
delegates at the closing session Of the
Tenth annual convention of presi-
dents, vice presidents and secretaries
of the Central States Bankers asso-
citation.
Numerous bank suspensions re-
Gently in North Dakota were caused
in part by the diverting of public
funds, according to W. c. McFadden,
of Fargo, secretary Of the North Da-
kota Bankers association, who ad-
dressed the conference. The heavy
decline in the price Of grain was an
other factor, he said.
Mr.. McFadden explained that the
new law which created the Bank of
North Dakota designated it as the de-
pository of all public funds. Ap-
proximately $4,000, 1000 of the public
funds were diverted to investments in
mortgage loans and $l,O00,O00 for a
mill and elevator, he continued, add
ing "this upset the financial and busi-
ness structure Of the state"

LIKE HAM0N CASE
Kansas Woman Pardoned After
Two Weeks in'Prison
BY Newspaper Enterprise.

Arkansas City, Kan, March 23.-
The case Of Mrs. Luella Moncravie
ended in the courts about the same
time that Mrs. Clara Smith Harmon
was acquitted of the murder of Jake
l.. Hamon.
Mrs. Moncravie was convicted of
fourth degree homicide for the shoot.
ing of her husband Henry E. Mon
cravie, a rich Usage Indian. She
was pardoned after serving two
weeks. The points Of similarity in
the Hamon and Moncravie cases are
these:
Both men said before they died
that they shot themselves.
Both women admitted that they
fired the fatal shots when the men
were about to attack them with a
chair
Both women alleged that the men
were drunk when making the attacks.
The decision that takes the Mon
cravie case out of the courts comes
from the supreme court. 1t allows
Mrs. Moncravie one-half OF his es-
tate Of more than 100000.
This followed a ruling involving
the Kansas law that person can not
participate in the estate Of one he is
convicted of killing.

Mitchell, S. D., March 23.-Posses
from three counties searching for "Buf
falo'' George alleged leader of band
Of rustlers operating in the vicinity of
the lower Brule Indian reservation
were marching into bleak country to-
day in their search for the outlaw
chief.
Heavily armed with arrangements
made for provisioning the party at va
rious points the posse is under orders
to return with Buffalo" George dead
or alive"
A fight is not improbable, as George
has declared that he will not be taken
alive and has sent word to the man
hunters to draw fast" when they find
him.
Details as to the progress OF the
hunt near the Indian reservation near
ly 200 miles from Mitchell, are meager
as wire communication with the posse
is impossible.
Buffalo" George it is said, may sue
ceed in eluding the posse for weeks
He knows the country where he is said
to be in hiding like an open book and
is believed to have made careful plans
to obtain necessary provisions for an
extended siege.
Sheriffs from Jones, Jackson and
Stanley counties are participating in
the manhunt which has stirred the en-
tire countryside with more excitement
than it has seen since the days when
the "Six Cum reigned supreme.
The latest act of which George Is
accused is that of running off 80 head
of horses.
