Kiwanis Weekly Meeting

The Kiwanians held their weekly
meeting in the basement of the Epis-
copal Church where the luncheon was
served by the Guild. The program as
per schedule was, John Vanderslius
chairman of the meeting, B. A. Bale
rud, speaker on the subject the Bank
Statement, and o. B. Herigstad the
story teller. Visitors at the meeting
were George Reeder, Portal; Jack
Taylor, St. Paul; Argalus H. Kurth,
Minot. The attendance prize offered
by DR.. j. R. Pence was awarded to
Max johnson. 1t will be remembered
that last August twenty-five of our
distinguished Kiwanians attended the
District convention at which they
made the acquaintance Of several of
the International officers, by giving
them reception at their private car
after the convention and before leav-
ing for home. One of these men was
Roe Fulkerson, Washington, D. c.,
editor ofs@the International Kiwanis
magazine, while getting acquainted
and being told about the wonderful
opportunities in Minot, his golf bag
was being decorated with "Why Not
Minot?" stickers, and now after a
long trip thru the country he wrote
the Minot Club as follows:
"It was certainly a delight to me
to make the acquaintance Of a bunch
Of boosters like the Minot bunch.
There were many things that hap
pened, and their hospitality shall long
be remembered by me and the other
boys. On the end of the bag which I
brought home from Grand Forks is
the very pertinent inquiry, why Not
Minot,' and I heartily endorse the
sentiment expressed. Can't you in
some way arrange something so that
I can come out to Minot and speak to,
your club some Monday? The reason
I select Monday as the day. for the
speech is because should like to have
the rest of the week to recover from
the hospitality which I know would
be extended to me at the meeting.
From now until the day when the XII
wants Club Of Washington puts lily
on my front foot, if anyone asks me
where the International Convention
should be held, where presidents Of
the United States should come from,
where the most beautiful women in
the world live, where the most hospi-
table people on earth reside, or where
! we should 60 to hold the District Con-
vention of Minnesota and Dakotas, or
in fact any other kind Of question
as to place where we can 60 to find
the finest Kiwanis spirit in the world,
I shall answer without even having to
refer to the end Of my satchel, why
Not Minot'." So

ENTIRE CITY BACK OF DRIVE
FOR TRINITY HOSPITAL FUND

Minot this week has underway the
campaign to raise $150,O00 for the
Trinity hospital. Of the total cost OF
$3.50 900, this city has been asked to
raise Sl5O,O0O. The drive started
Tuesday morning and is progressing
very satisfactorily, according to mem
bers of the campaign committee. Inc
entire city seems united in the EFFORT
to back the hospital proposition.
A feature Of the campaign was the
joint appeal issued by some 20 repre-,
sentative Minot citizens. They urged
the entire city to respond to the aP-
peal for finances.
an view of the splendid endorse
ment given the Trinity hospital by So
many representatives citizens" c. f.
Danielson, president of the Associa-
ton of Commerce and chairman of the
campaign committee, stated Tuesday,
1--WE expect this drive to be put across
with the snap that is characteristic
of Minot. The recognition that the
new hospital will be big asset to Mi
not is general and Minot people, be-
lieve, are prepared to receive the So
licitors with contributions.
"The building of quarter of a mil
lion dollar institution in Minot is quite
in keeping with the progressiveness
of the city. 1t is part Of the develop
ment program which resulted in the
100000 More movement and the sue
cess of the drive will herald through
out the country that an era OF pros
perity has started in northwestern
North Dakota. With the new hospital
taking it's place alongside St. Joseph's
hospital, Minot will become hospital
and medical center. That will mean
more people coming to Minot and in
asmuch as our hotels are about equal
to the task of taking care Of Minot's
visitors now, additional hotel facilities
are bound to follow. When Minot has
become noted for it's hospital and ho-
tel facilities, it is easy to imagine
what development the city can enjoy.
During the past few years Minot
has forged to the front as an educa-
tional center. Our churches are a
credit to the northwest. The same
community spirit which enables this
development will insure success of the
hospital drive. The hospitals will
benefit everyone in the city and that
is why they should and no doubt will
receive support willingly and gener-
ously."

Find Liquor Cache
on Dilla6e Farm

Officers searching the Lee Dillage
farm, two miles north of Ignite, for
liquor, known to have been cached
there, discovered an underground
room, in the barn yard, with IL sacks
of whiskey, or "a cases and 48 gal
Ions Of alcohol. The liquor was found
carefully put away in room 10 feet
long, 6 feet wide and five feet deep.
The room was nicely covered with dirt
to prevent detection.
At the C. w. Martenson farm near
by, officers found "a cases Of whiskey
and Is gallons of alcohol in a similar
underground room, which was reach
ed thru a long narrow passage en-
tered from beneath the sidewalk lead
ing to an outbuilding. The liquor at
the Martenson farm appeared to have
been placed there very recently as
the sacks were new. Martenson said
but three cases belonged to him, and
the remainder to Dillage. Officers
are not inclined to believe that this
is the liquor, which Dillage states was
stolen from his car and truck, the
night of the murder Of Paul -Matoff
at Bienfait, Sask. Dillage and Mar
tenson have been engaged in the liquor
traffic for some time.
Dillage, who is charged with the
murder of Matoff, requested that he
be taken to Canada for trial. Ac-
cordingly, officers took him from Bow
bells to Fargo where he will waive
hearing before VIM. c. Green, extra
dition commissioner. He will not
fight extradition.
Officers who have been Investigate
ing the case, do not believe that Dill
lage fired the shot which killed Matoff,
but suspect that he was in the frame
up and are working on that theory.
Dillage had purchased $4,000 worth Of
whiskey from Matoff and had just
paid him the cash, half in U. S. cur
rency and half in Canadian currency.
1t is believed that seven or eight men
were mixed up in the affair.",
When officers arrived after the
shooting, Dillage was found holding
the head of the dying man. After
purchasing the liquor, Dillage says
he hauled it away in REQ truck and
Cadillac car and high-jackers took
the whiskey and cars from him near
the border.
Dillage sticks to his original story
that Matoff was shot by four masked
men who stole the $4,000 he had just
paid Matoff. ,>'' =
Martenson after his arrest was brot
to Minot. Officers believe there is
more liquor cached on the Dillage
and possibly the Martenson farms.

upton's Cadillac Found in Strawstack
-- near Ignite

rs
The 7-passenger Cadillac, stolen
from F. c. Upton, prohibition officer,
which was stolen in Minot recently,
was found in a straw stack Saturday
afternoon on a farm two miles north
Of Ignite, about 40 rods west of the
farm of Lee Dillage, the farmer
charged with being implicated in the
murder of, Paul Matoff, Canadian
liquor dealer at Beinfait, Sask.
Deputy Sheriff Clarence Vanden-
oever, driving past the farm, saw the
glare of the sun shining on the wind
shield of the car, 40 rods back from
the road. The car had been hidden
into the stack and the wind blew some
of the straw away, exposing the wind
shield. Mr.. Vandenoever drove the
the car to Columbus and later took
it to Kenmare. 1t was in hard shape
and will be brot to Minot later. The
car was no doubt taken by whiskey
runners who have been bringing liquor
to Minot from the Dillage farm.

HOWARD CLAPP, ., INSTANTLY
KILLED IN FALL FROM WAGON

Howard, Clapp, the year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Duane Clapp,
$40 Second Ave. N. w. met instant
death late Tuesday afternoon when
team owned by Chas. Brown, of Sew
enth St. ran away. The little lad
had been spending the day with Mr..
Brown who was hauling ties and plank
to the home Of Mr.: Rube, Fifth St.,
NV. The wagon was standing in the
yard and Mr.. Brown was unloading
the wagon. Howard was holding the
lines and had just called to a play
mate, when the team started to run.
They ran across the curb and Howard
either jumped off the load or fell off,
his head striking the ground. A
fractured skull caused almost instant
death.
The funeral was held from the
Clapp home this afternoon, Rev. P.
w. Erickson officiating. The remains
were inferred in Rose Hill cemetery.
The pail bearers, all old friends of
the Clapp family, at the time they
were residents Of Crookston, Minn.,
were as follows: r. f. Mills, Hal
Davies and Chas. Handy of this city,
and Ed Young of Devils Lake. Mrs.
Mackley sang several appropriate
numbers. The services were attend
ed by large number of friends.
Howard was robust, manly lad,
and his death has been terrible blow
not only to members of the family but
to the entire community.
Mr.. ClapD is district sales manager
of the Standard Oil Co. for northwest
ern North Dakota and the family NOV
ed from Devils Lake to Minot three
years ago.
