4 TERRIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT

Considerable disappointment is /,
ing shown by the members of the
Il v, "A. element in Burke county as
a result Of The Tribune not closing
up shop and quitting business at the
same time as the First State Bank
did. It seems that. the opinion was
quite general among the /. v. A. ele-
ment that if they were able to put
forth enough pressure on the bank
to secure its suspension that The
Tribune would be compelled to quit
In very short time afterwards. The
Tribune, however, is better off fl
nancially now than it ever was be-
fore, and If few more banks in the
county closed (and rumors say that
this may happen in the near future,
this newspaper would be on a strict
ly cash basis and would have no fun
ther worries. Z
While the stringent financial con-
dition in the state and the unabili-
ty OF farmers to get cars In which
to ship their grain and the elevators
being overloaded with grain SO that
the farmers were unable to sell
their crop in order to pay their debts
was the direct cause for this bank
suspending business when It did, we
learn from reliable sources that
there was considerable political pres
sure put forth to assure fits suspen-
sion.
We have been told by reliable par
ties that two bankers spent most of
the afternoon Of the day before the
First State Bank closed with County
Treasurer J. R. Jensen, and used
every effort imaginable to persuade

The ultimate result, it was said,
would be Intervention by congress
which is exactly what the farmers
desire. Consequently such action
in effect would put the finishing
touch Of success or the purpose of
the revolt.
On the other hand the bankrupt
cy movement has gained hundreds
Of converts. 1T Is spreading rapid

Nebraska, Iowa and Montana, accord
ing to reliable reports. It may also
gain a .foothold in Indiana. Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois among farmers

The hearing OF G. ]. Kopriva who
was suspended by Governor Nestos
from the office of County Auditor
was heard at the Court House in
Bowbells before Attorney B. L. VIII
son Of Flaxton last Friday.
The court room was filled with
spectators and standing room was
at d premium. The general COM
ment heard on all sides was that the
evidence did not substantiate the
charges set forth in the allegations
OF the complaint which was filed
with the governor and upon which
the suspension was austensibly bas-
ed. To the fair minded person it
looked like an act In political farce
III an effort made to railroad a coun-
ty official out Of office.
Ia their complaint the petitioners
allege that Kopriva issued some war;
rants for road work drawn on the
general fund Of the county. The evi-
dence disclosed the fact that these
warrants were drawn in payment OF
duly verified bills filed In the audi
tors office which bills were approved
and allowed by the board of County
Commissioners and the auditor in
structed to draw warrants, the same
being q Commissioners warrant duly
signed by the Chairman Of the board
OF County Commissioners Of Burke
county, there were also three war
rants which were offered in evi-
dsnce drawn in payment for over
time work performed by the clerks
and deputy in the auditors office.
The testimony showed that these
warrants were also In payment Of
bills filed In the auditors office, ap-
proved and allowed by the board Of
County Commissioners and the audi
tor instructed to draw warrants IN
payment OF same. road warrants be-
ing commissioners warrants duly
s'gned by the chairman OF the board

The Bowbells high school basket
ball team will open it's high school
schedule on Friday (tonight) when
they will clash with the Flaxton
high quint in the local high school
gym. ....
For the past month the locals
have been putting in some hard prac-
tising and are now practically play
ing in mid-season form and they
present one of the strongest basket
ball teams that ever represented the

.cording to reports they also have q

appearance on the local floor and
followers OF the game are looking
forward to one OF the fastest and
snappies games which they are like
~ to see during. the entire season.
This year the Granville aggrega-
ton is a tower Of strength both on
1he defensive and offensive. In
their first game Of the season with
Miuot at Minot last Friday they held
the Magicians down to q very small
margin during the entire game and
many followers Of the game predict
that Granville will be the fastest
team In this vicinity in few more
weeks.
This year the high school has
arranged for q series OF games
which should all prove to be head
