WILL|ST0N Man !.
SUED FOR SIS ,861.
IN U.S.DIST COURT

Fargo, N. D., Dec. Fitzpatrick H.
Rahilly Of Lake City, Mimi, is suing
Michael O'Laughlin of Williston, N.
D., for $75,S61, principal and interest
on various sums alleged fradulently
obtained over period reaching back
nearly so years, according to papers
in the case just filed in the United
States district court here.
/ The complaint tells a story of the
two men living as neighbors in Wa
basha county, Minn., in 1875. 1t
recites transaction after transaction
in which it alleges O'Laghlin
through fraud, obtained the endorse
ment of Rahilly or credit from him.
Finds Farm Mortgaged
Rahilly eventually discovered that
farm which O'Laughlin had repre-
sented as unencumbered security
had an $11 900 mortgage against it,
say the allegations; that the defen-
ants mother, who was surety for
him together with Rahilly had signed
away farm which had made her sig
nature of no value. that O'Laughlin
hadn't 5000 bushels of wheat on
which he had borrowed $4,000 under
Rahilly's signature; and that o.
Laughlin had Sold some horses on
which Rahilly was to realize part of
the money due him.
Located in North Dakota
Later he traced him to North Da-
kota, the complaint further states,
, and at Rolla in 1896 O'Laughlin made
out to Rahilly IA $1,000 promissory
notes.-the amount due him. He did
this, the instrument dealers, "being
moved thereto by sense of his own
responsibility to this plaintiff >for
many great favors and by compunc-
tion for the many acts Of fraud and
duplicity which he had committed"
Some time prior to Feb. 5, 1908,
O'Iaughlin had been adjudged bank
rupt in the United States district
court here, but he had waived the
statute Of limitations and acknowl-
edged the debt in writing since then,
according to the complaint.

North Dakota took over the bank the
individual deposits amounted TO-
$4,000 and now are about $4,000.
The individual deposit feature, how

possible the payment without delay
of all soldier bonus claims, on

ector's report as follows:

The steady growth in production
Of Ignite coal is accompanied ty an
increase in the nunloer f men en-
ployed, although improved machinery
has also been a factor in increased
production. These were the mine
inspector reports, 1868 men employ
ed in and about the mines in 1922 as
compared to 1,704 in 1921. The re-
port of the mine inspector includes
120 mines in 1921 as compared to 1913
in 1922, the report stating that it is
difficult to attempt to list all of the
small mines operating in the state.
There were but four fatal accidents
during the year.
More Growth Seen.
An increased production for the
year 1928 is predicted in the report.
"The number Of mines in operation
varies but little from year to year in
the state of North Dakota" the re-
port says. "Each year finds number
of mines worked out and abandoned
and new mines open. to take their
places. We are pleased to note that a
number of new mines'have commenc-
ed operating during the past year and
that number of other operations are
contemplated. In view Of this fact
we look for in increased production in
this state for the coming year."

State Will Pay
Bonus Claims to
Soldiers Soon

bismarck, Dec. 27.--Approximately
1000 state soldiers bonus claims will
be paid the first of January, accord
ing to the estimte of Adjustant Gen
eral G. A. Fraser. This payment to-
tails about S250,000 and is expected
to be realized from taxes paid in this
fall and will be one of the largest
single payments made under the state
soldier bonus act.
The total number of claims paid
will be raised to 1880 on January 1,
or few days thereafter, it is csti-
mated. Payments have been made up
to number 6,S25. The total numLer
Of claims filed is 22,oo3.
Payments Of soldier bonus claias
under the state act have reached a
total Of $2,219,637.46 up to Nov.
l, according to the statement of the
-Adjutant General, this amount Of
money being paid since February 1.
1920 The number Of claims paid in
the last year increased considerably
because of the tax from which funds
are realized being raised from three
quarters to one mill. The average
Of the claims paid is $3.50, the aver
age length of service of the North
Dakota soldiers, sailors and marines
being about IA months.
Whether any effort will be made
to amend the present law in the forth
coming session of the legislature to
provide for a bond issue is held
doubtful here.

New Legislation
to Protect Children

"Labor, wheather organized OF not,
can give whole-hearted support to the
child welfare program proposed to
tie coming legislation by the North
Dakota Children's Cole commission"
declares Mrs. Margaret Froats of
Grand Forks, member Of the COM
mission.
"Child protection has been a card
inal principle with progressive labor
movements everywhere. Labor has
wrought nightly in obtaining better
conditions for child workers and in
projecting those W no should not
work. Therefore, the commissions
bills to strictly protect children under
Ii years from undue labor, in safe
guarding the older one who work, in
improving school facilities, in builo-
ing bulwarks to strengthen the home
home and in caring for unfortunate
parents deserve the support of labor
everywhere.
IF the commissions program is in
acted into law it will not only care
for the defective children who need
special treatment and special safe
guarding, altho that is a large part
OF the plant. It will give every boy
and girl in the state, normal as well
as defective, a chance for a normal
childhood. 1t will forbid, thru the
l4-years age limit, undue work in the
years when a child should be going
to school and developing thru play. 1t
Will help to safeguard others up to
78 years. 1t will keep child laborers
from unhealthful and other employ
nent that may have in immoral ef-
feet. The compulsory school at
tendance law will give all better
| chance for an education. Moreover,
/ that school attendance bill-which
make completion of the Sth grade,
with maximum age of 1S for at
tendance the rule-wi]l help many a
backward boy and girl to better edu-
cation where the present law for mere
attendance up to II years regardless
OF results to often fails to solve the
problems.
Our proposals do not interfere with
work on the farm or in the home SO
there can be no criticism on that
| score.
Labor is, of course, interested in
the general welfare and social and
moral uplift features as we'll as the
labor Of the case. I hope every public
spirited citizen will urge his or her
legislators to support the proprm.'
