MANY DOGS. TO
take PART In

no matter what the breed or what his
pastr reputation for speed maybe, is
undergoing strenuous training this
week for the big annual races which
will take place on New Years Day
under the auspices Of the Devils Lake
Boy Concert Band. Some of the ami
mails appear to take some interest in
the training and will no doubt make
regular racers when their trainers
get throughswith them, but there are
others Of the canine tribe who appear
to take very little interest in the
matter, and don't seem to care
whether they take part in the contest
or not:
The rules announced for the big
event provide that all dogs, no" mat
ter what the breed or past exper-
fence in racing, shall be legible to take
part, and that the drivers shall not

no case he will be allowed to run
ahead of the dog. No whips will be
allowed, and all dogs must be hitched
to sled of some kind, and any kind
Of sled may be used. No cats will
be allowed on the street during the
time the racing takes place.
The course on which the run will
take place will start at the Great
Northern hotel, and will run east on
second street to Stanton avenue
north to seventh street, west to Kelly
avenue, and then back to the Great
Northern hotel. Judges will be plac.
ed along the route to see that the
rules Of the contest are strictly en-.
forced. Every effort will be made

O. F. Anderson Of Noonan township
was among the out of town business
visitors in the city yesterday, and this
Office acknowledges a very pleasant
call from the gentleman. Mr.. Ander-
sons marketing point is Southam, on
the 500 line, and he tells us that the
elevators there had experienced very
little difficulty during the fall months
in getting all the cars desired for
shipping grain, and that as result
most of the wheat in Noonan town
ship was already marketed. Like all
the other farmers residing some dis
tance from Devils Lake, Mr.. Anderson
greatly misses the auto roads duriAa
the winter months, and says he has q

CREATES DIST
URBANCE AT P0-
LICE STATION

Frank Martin of this city was ar
rested last Sunday morning for Great
ing a disturbance at police headquar-
ters, and after trial in police court
before Judge Duell was sentenced to
pay fine of $40 and costs. He ap-
pealed from the decision of Judge
Duell, and is out on S1OO bonds until
the next term of court, unless he de-
cides to settle up before that time.
It is alleged that Mike Schuck was
arrested late Saturday night on the
charge of disorderly conduct, and af-
ter he had been in Jail for few hours
Martin appeared at police headquar-
ters with $500 in cash and rendered
this to Policeman Ted West with a
demand that Schuck be released. He
also wanted a receipt for the money,
and demanded to know who caused the
arrest, as he intended to raise some
trouble about the matter. Night Po-
liceman Wynman who was in the room
told Martin that the money could not
be accepted from him, but that if
he wanted to have Schuck released he
could loan the money to the prisoner
who in turn could pay it to the police
Martin finally did this, and Schuck
was released.
This did not seem to satisfy Martin
and he staid at the police station TO,
some time and abused the officers
with vile language. After listening te
this for a time Policeman Wynmar
told him to dry up and get out. Thi.
he refused to do, and the officer under
took to put him out with the result
that fight ensued and Martin wa!
put behind the bars where he remainet
until Tuesday morning.
On being brought before Judg'
Duell Mr.. Martin said he wanted tn
services Of an attorney and this wa
granted him. He came back a shor
time later with Attorney J. c. Adam
son, who asked for change of venue
but this was overruled. He then stoo
trial and was found guilty. The cas-
(, was then appealed and will be finall,
disposed Of later.

A. L. Freeborn of Starkweather
was business visitor in Devils Lake
yesterday, having made the trip by
train, and favored this office with a
very pleasant call. He told US that the
Starkweather folks who are in the
habit of making regular trips to De-
wills Lake were most certainly missing
the auto roads, as to make the trip
by train requires most Of three days
and two nights away from home,
whereas the same trip could be made
in just few hours by car. Mr.. Free
born has OCCASION to make number
of trips to this city during the course
of each year, and says he always
breads the trips made during the win
ter months.

JUDGE c. W. BUTTz
WILL TRY BANK
CASES AT M|N0T

Judge C. w. Buttz and Court Steno-
grapher Lloyd B. Stevens leaves next
Tuesday for Minot to try about 20
civil cases in district court wherein
the judges in that district are dis
qualified. The cases to be tried are
practically all brought by the receiver
of the First Farmers Bank. of Minot,
which was organized by Grant S.
Youmans a number Of years ago, and
which was closed in the fall of 1920,
against farmers who gave notes in
payment of bank stock. Judges John
C. Lowe of Minot and Geo. H. Moellr-
ing of Williston both owned stock in
the defunct bank, and were therefore
disqualified to act.
A large per cent of the farmers in
Ward, Williams, Burke, Divide, Noun
trail and other counties in the vicinity
of Mnot signed notes for stock in the
bank which was organized by Mr..
Yeomans, and in which the Savings
Loan & Trust Co. of the same city
owned the majority of the stock. The
bank was organized after another
bank in which Yeomans held heavy
stock was closed by the state banking
department. At the time the first
bank was closed Mr.. Yeomans brought
a damage suit against L. B. Hanna,
who was then governor, and the state
banking department, for putting him
out of business, but the case was dis
missed after the evidence was heard
by the court.
The new bank was in business for
several years, and during the time Of
tight money in 1921 received several
quite large deposits from the Bank
of North Dakota. In spite Of this it
was unable to hold out and closed
its doors in the fall Of 1920, and re-
ceiver was appointed to liquidate it.
Many farmers paid their notes a
short time after they were given,
but many resisted payment on various
grounds. The notes are now in pos
session of. the receiver, and he is
bringing action to enforce collection.
Among the farmers who are re-
sisting payment are those who claim
that Mr.. Youmans did not keep his
part of the agreement, that no stock
was ever issued to them, and that no
value was given for the notes. In
/, the vicinity of Bowbells, in Burke
county, the stock salesman told the
farmers that Mr.. Yeomans was plan
ming on starting a bank in Bowbells
and stock being sold in the new bank
to be established: Farmers signed
notes with the idea Of getting stock in
Bowbells bank, but such bank was
never established, and the notes were
never returned to the signers. These
notes are now in the possession of tho
receiver of the Minot bank, and action
is being brought to compel the farm
ers to pay them. The cases will in
volve many new points to be de-
| cided by the court, and outcome
will be watched with considerable in
terest by people all over the state.

OFFICIAL Leaves AFTER
VISIT TO FIELDS HERE

Lee Scott, vice president of the
White Eagle Oil and Refining COM
|pany Of Wichita, Kansas. leaves to-
night for headquarters via. Denver
after having spent several days here
investigating the local oil situation.
Mr.. Scott makes no definite state
ment as to what may resul from his
visitbut informed a Tribune represent
alive that he was here for the purros'
of investigating conditions with tin
view of entering the local field. Moth
Ing definite has yet been settled ant
probably will not be for some time as
there are many angles which must be
considered before n definite plan can
be arrived at. However. the prospect
seems good at present that this large
MidlC Continent concern may decide to
enter tho wyoming fields.
In speaking of Salt Creek which he
visited yesterday MI. Scott stated
that he believed, all things considered.
that this field is the greatest in the
world. He also had many good words
for Casper, being .fayorably impressed
with the amount OF public improve
ments here and also the air of pro-
g-ressiveness and prosperity which is
much in evidence. He predicts that
this city will eventually become a
second Tulsa, the present recognized
leader of the petroleum industry.
