MURDERL00MS
IN BLOOM CASE

jamestown, N. D., June 21.-Pos-
sibility that all unidentified youth
about 18 years, who was found be-
side the Northern Pacific track west
of Bloom, N. D., and died in James,
town hospital, was murdered, loomed
when Peter Nelson engineer of pas
senger train No. z, said that his
train did not hit man at that point.
Originally it was supposed that
the youth had been struck by train
No. z, but Mr.. Nelson said that when
he passed the point where the body
was found by the section foreman,
he noticed what he supposed was a
pile of old clothing laying besides the
track.
Information from jamestown is to
the effect that an examination of the
body revealed a mark on the head
of the victim, and it is the opinion
there that the man had been struck
by club.
Several men who were in the
Bloom vicinity up to Wednesday

seeking them with the exceptation
that they may be able to throw some
light on the manner in which the
youth came to his death.
In a pocket was found letter ad-
dressed to "Dear Walter" signed by
"Auntie." The place from which the
letter had been mailed was torn off.
Also, there was a pad of writing
paper with the name of the Page
Printery of Grand Forks in one
pocket.
The coat was marked with the
name of c. E. Brosart, Grand Forks.
Inquiry at Grand Forks revels that
Brosa1t is a telegraph operator for
the Great Northern railroad and that
he is in Grand Gorks. Brosart said
the coat might have been discarded
by him and the letter with "Dear
Walter" on it might have been one
addressed to his father for the reason
that his fathers name is Walter
Brosart.

SMUGGLING Of
WHISKY WOULD
BEELIMINATED

Minot, N. D., June 21.-Booze
smuggling into the United States from
the Province of Saskatchewan would
be completely eliminated, under bill
that has received its first reading at
Ottawa, which prohibits the export of
liquor from the Canadian province
into the states. If the law is passed,
and it apparently has plenty of sup
port, the law would become effective
as soon as an order-in-council is
passed by the Saskatchewan legis-
lature.
It would also mean the stopping Of
the legal business of the liquor houses
now located at Regina, Saskatoon and
Moose Jaw.
Much of the liquor smuggled out of
the dominion is brought by American
booze runners out of Saskatchewan.
AS result booze houses have thrived
since the advent of the Volstead law,
and the beginning of the rum snug
Cling "game," piled between Sask-
atchewan cities and the Twin Cities,
Sioux City, Omaha and other points
in the United States.
According to local federal prohibi-
tion agents, very little liquor is being
"run" through this section of the
states this year. They express the be-
lief that although many of the rum
runners pass through here enroute to
the Canadian border, most of them
take route thur Minnesota or Mon
tana, with their return cargoes.
Reports from Canada indicate that
much of the liquor which is being
smuggled into the states now is being
carried close to the boundry line in
various kinds of conveyances and
"planted" there, where the American
runners secure it, and smuggle it
across into the United States. A law
which became effective in Saskatch-
evan June / abolished all liquor
houses, except in Regina, Saskatoon
and Moose Jaw, and does away with
the automobile as common carrier.
thus making it a risky business for
runners to attempt to run the gaunt-
let of officials scattered between the
! cities where the liquor houses are
situated and the boundry line. It is
said that the telephone is used to a
good advantage by keepers Of
"plants" near the boundry line, to
let runners know whenever a cargo
arrives at the line, and may be Sc
cured.
The cost of the liquor is said to be
/ higher under this arrangement but
the American runner is protecting
himself against being caught with a
load on the other side Of the line.

Mann MAKES OP-
TIM|STICT TALK
AT Grand FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D., June 21.-Mer-
chants of North Dakota are no long
er just whistling to keep their courage
up because the tingle of cash in the
money drawers has slowly and steady
drowned out the whistle and made it
unnecessary, according to Fred P.
Mann of Devils Lake, president Of
the North Dakota Retail Merchants
association, now in annual convention
here.
Recalling the .old statement that
it is an i'll wind that blows no one
good, Mr.. Mann declares that the
period of depression which is a thing
of the past has made better business
men of merchants Of the state.
Difficult times served as perhaps
no other medium could have done to
draw merchants together in meetings
for their common good and to pro-
mote earnest study of better methods
of merchandising, he said. In this
connection it was pointed out that
it does not take much of merchant
to give away bread in famine or
sell goods when the public is clamor-
ing for chance to spend money, but
that it takes sound business judgment,
courage and faith in the integrity
of the people and the state to tide
over a period of depression such as
was experienced in North Dakota and
the entire world, for that matter, i'm.
mediately following the world war.
Facing common danger, the mer-
chants Of North Dakota could do
nothing else, he said, than meet to-
gether and discuss their problems and
study out ways and means of solving
them. Because of this, he said, the
business men of the state were drawn
together for their common good. They
studied business problems as few OF
them had ever done before, and by
granting credit and supporting THEN
customers who always were hit by the
depression, he said, these business
men have weathered a terrific bust.
ness storm and are now in the home
port of prosperity.
Mr.. Mann is enthusiastic regarding
the manner in which business mer
of the state have recovered from the
postwar period of depression. He
declares that steady and sane i'm.
provements in business noted during
the last few weeks gives assurance
that new era of prosperity is ap'
preaching.
The general financial situation
throughout North Dakota is highly
gratifying, according to Mr.. Mann
who declares that the steady better
ment Of business conditions is ire.
