widespread. as reservations have
been made from San Antonio TO
winnipeg. and from Jacksonville

Supreme Court Lays Down
Rules to Follow in Con-

The supreme court today, in an
opinion following re-argument of the
else in which H. B. Dunbar, former
state license inspector when William
Lemke was attorney general, was ad-
judged in contempt of court by Dis
trict Judge Nuessle in jamestown,
holds to it's former opinion in re-
versipg the case on procedure and
remanding for further action in dis
trict court. In the second decision.
however, the court points out that on
the filing Of interrogatories by the
states attorney the district court
may consider the case again, that in
so doing it does not need to cOnsidek
the Ward county court records of the
liquor disposition as full account
ing, and that in the absence of full
statement by Dunbar in open court
it may adjudge him guilty Of con-
tempt. ~.
The case grew out Of liquor cap
tured from booze runners in James
town in-192l. Dunbar said the liquor
was destroyed under an order of
Judge Lowe Of Minot, and declined ia
submit to examination in district
court at Jamestown.

SHERIFF SEEKS
S0LUT TI0N OF
SKULL FINDING
Disappearance of Man II
Years Ago Near Starkweath-
er Recalled by Discovery
BODY BONES MISSING
Theory That Man Was Decap-
itated Is Advanced to
Ramsey County Sheriff

Devils Lake, May 22.-Sheritf Rut-
ten of Ramsey county has begun in
.vestigation into the identity of
dead man whose skull was recently
found on farm near Starkweather.
The skull! was found in the cellar of
an old house. It's condition indicated
that it has been buried Under the
house for about 20 years. Two other
bones were found near the skull, but
the absence of the rest OF the skele-
ton leads to the possibility that the
man had been decapitated and that
the rest of his body had been buried
elsewhere. The only clue thus far to
the possible identity of the man is
the fact that about II years ago Levi
Ncisely disappeared mystef ously
from the farm on which the skull was
found. Since his disappearance no
trace of him has ever been found.
Soon after his disappearance his
family moved to Edgeland, where it
is said his widow now resides.
Old settlers in the vicinity remem-
bcr his disappearance but recall no
incident that would lead to the be-
lief that the man had been murdered
and buried under his home. Sheriff
Rutton is now trying to get into
touch with Carl Wilborn Of Newville,
N. d., who it is said drove Ncisely
from the lattcr's home on the last
night he was seen, .ostensibly to
railroad station where Ncisely said
he was going to board train. That
was the last that Wilborn or any
other of the residents in the viciuiti,
ever saw of the man.

Paris, May 22-Sir John Bradbury,
British representative in the nego-

which the United States objects and

stipulated that the agreement should
cease to be effective if America pro-
cecded to collect war damages from
Germany directly.
The allied financial representa-
tives were consulting among them
selves as to when the next plenary
meeting should be held for complet-
ing the negotiations and signing the
agreement.
