The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1922-04-27

Three brave Minot women, Mrs. A.
P. Blonde, Mrs. Wilson Handy and
Mrs. Ferren, who resid on
Eighth ST. N. E. near the Riverside
Park foot bridge, saved the life OF
a young woman, about Is years of
age, who fell into the Mouse river
Saturday morning.
The girl had gone to the river bank
for bucket Of water. The river
was about to overflow it's banks at
this point and the water had washed
out the dirt from beneath the bank.
AS she stepped on the bank, it gave
way and she slipped into the water
up to her neck, her feet touching the
edge of the bank, but she was unable
to retain foot hold. Her screams
brot Mrs. Handy out from her home
and she endeavored to pull the girl
out from the water but was not strong
enough to do so. She ran for help
and Mrs. Blonde and Mrs. Ferren
hurried to the scene Mrs. Blonde
carried her little girl but was afraid
to leave her alone on the bank, so
holding the babe secure between her
feet, she reached out and grasped the
sinking Young woman and assisted
by Mrs. Ferren, pulled her safely te
the shore. The young woman hurried
home and was soon little the worse
for her experience. At this time, her
name has not been learned.

aged 2, next, and the younger one
ran into the dining room, and Kallias
shot at the child as it ran, the bullet
hitting it in the forehead, passing
clear through. The older boy was
shot above right temple.
At the first shot Mrs. Anderson
jumped out Of bed and jumped out of
the house, and her son also went
out, but Kallias fired at Arnold, the
younger one, as he ran through the
front door, but the bullet did nor
strike him.
After the shooting, Kallias ran out
the back door and made for the Great
Northern shop yards, short distance
away. When the police arrived, the
mother was dying, and the police
rushed both children to hospital.
Posses Formed
Sheriff Ed Elliott Immediately
formed several posses to search for
the murderer. 1t was thought that
he would attempt to jump train No.
and the train crew was asked to slow
down at the roundhouse and while
going through the railroad yards in
order to give him this opportunity.
A number of deputies boarded the
train, while others followed the road
in automobiles. Engineer Abrahams
ran at reduced speed through the
yards, and when about a mile from
the station, he saw Kallias run to-
ward the tracks. Before the train
could be brought to a stop, Kallias
threw himself in front Of the engine,
and was cut in two at the waist,
dying instantly.
Kallias married his wife abous
four years ago. He had lived in
Devils Lake for 10 years, coming
here from Breckenridge, MINI. His
wife told States Attorney Thompson
yesterday that they had had trouble
ever since their marriage, and that
several times he threatened to kill
her, and that the last threat was.
made on the morning of the murder,
when he said he would cut her throat.
She said that he would not permit
her to speak to other men, and that
he forbade her to dance with anyone.

cessful. A similar demonstration
took place in Fargo Wednesday and in
Grand Forks today.
The International Harvester Co. will
entertain their out of town dealers,
1875 in number, at a banquet in the
Association of Commerce rooms Fri
day night. 49,. .....-
The Minot Association of Commerce
has named committee consisting of
r. M. Graham, Otto Gross, X. H.
Swiggum and ]. U. Lyons, which will
take charge Of the parade. This COM
mittee has decided to invite every
automobile dealer to have his 1922
jobs lined up in the parade, which will
begin at 4:3O p. m. and last until
6 p. m. The Minot Town Criers drum
corps will lead the procession.
At s p. m. > public meeting will be
held in the new Scottish Rite cathe-
dral, to which everyone is cordially
invited. Speakers will emphasize the
fact that this section heads the pro-
cession that is advertising all over
the country on prosperity, and will
maintain it's place for years to come.
An interesting sidelight of the busi-
ness conditions in general and par
ticularly in the automotive field is
found in the figures shown by the In
ternational Harvester Company Of
America, on the sale and delivery of
International motor trucks this year.
Up to April l, 1851 carloads of
motor trucks were shipped from the
International Motor Truck factories
at Akron and Springfield, Ohio. OF
this total, 1872 carloads were shipped
west of the Mississippi river. and 759
carloads were consigned to states east
Of the Mississippi. These carloads Of
International trucks would make a
single train IA miles long, or 33 train
loads of so cars each. The freight
charges on the total shipment ap-
proximately is $247,0OO.
If all these trucks were devoted to
the accomplishment of one task, they
would be capable of moving the an
nual twelve million bale cotton crop
Of the entire United States, the usual
average haul, in 20 working days.
The distance necessary to accomplish
this feat would amount totem million
miles, or distance equal 20 200 times
around the earth at the equator
The Minot Community band will
furnish music at the evening meeting.
and other entertainment numbers will
be contributed.

The members Of the Northwest
group of the North Dakota Bankers
Association, held a very important
meeting in Minot Saturday, nearly
every bank in the district being rep
resented.
The session opened at the Associa-
ton of Commerce rooms in the after
noon with r. H. Farmer, Of Flaxton,
the president in the chair. c. H.
Zehringer, the secretary, assisted in
arranging the very successful meet
ing.
A. G. Divet, the Associations at
torney explained the bank taxation
problem at considerable length and at
the conclusion, the Northwest group
endorsed the action of the committee
at Bismarck, when it was agreed with
the state board of taxation for both
state and national banks to pay taxes
on so percent basis for the years
1920, 1921 and 1922. The state banks
had already paid the 1919 taxes on a
100 percent basis without protest, so
will be unable to recover any portion
of the 1919 tax, but the national banks
have agreed to pay the 1919 taxes on
SO percent basis.

by the last legislative session, bank
stocks are not taxable. Notwith-
standing this fact, the banks consider
that it is right that they should pay
a reasonable rate of taxation on their
stock and will voluntarily pay taxes
aggregating hundreds OF thousands of
