He realized that men, after 8 lifetime .in the harness" find idleness a reef upon which the frail bark Of life founders and breaks to pieces. He busted himself with looking after his property and with his other iu- ferests and for the first time in a busy life, realized the luxury of lying ahed and laughing at the call sounded by the blowing of factory whistles at starting time O morning.
 And then came his election as aldermnn-at-large, on the Repuh- hcan ticket. He had always been keenly interested in politics and taken a part in election time activities. But never before had he answered the call to run for election to public office. And when Archibald Macdonald re- signed before his term expired. 10 become postmaster. the eofa- mon council advanced Mir. Chap delaine to be the chief executive of the city.

NAMES
THE TWO MEN
HE MURDERED
Identification of Men Found
at jamestown May Have
Been Established

The picture Of a young man miss
ing from Chaseley,. Sheridan County,
North Dakota since last summer was
identified today as one of the two
men he killed at strawstack near
jamestown by, Joseph Berger, con-
fined in the state penitentiary for
the crime. Berger also identified the
two by names given.
Warden Lee, who questioned Ber-
ger, expressed belief that the identi-
fication of the murdered men had
been established.
The warden received letter from
Alex R. Fischer of Chaseley saying
that two young men, Alec Ruffer, 10,
and Fred Miller, 1S, had been missing
and might have been the murdered
men. Berger identified the picture
Of Ruffer. He was questioned at
length by the warden.
Some Missouri people recently give
a description of two men missing
which was said also to answer the
general description of the murdered
men.

FRAUD CHARGED
AS DEFENSE TO

Minot, N. d., Feb. 21.-Judge c. w.
Butte of Devils Lake in district court
chambers in Minot took under adj
visement pending decision argu-
ments on various points of law in the
action brought by w. H. Mcintosh
dis receiver of the Mohall State bank
of Mohall, N. D., to recover 100000
and interest from two bonding COM
panies6 furnished bonds of $10,
000 for J. c. Peters, w. w. Bergman
and f. w. Wiebe, president, vice
president and cashier of the defunct
Institution. The Dakota Trust COM
pany of Fargo and the American
Surety company of New York city,
the defendant companies in the ac-
ton, are opposing payment on the
bonds, alleging that the information
furnished the companies in the ap-
plication was grossly fraudulent.
The surety companies allege that
each of the three bonds was signed
by others of the three officials, testi-
flying to the good character of the
applicant, and that at that time the
bankers were defaulting and that
consequently the bonds were secured
thu ough fraud. Consequently. the
defendants alleged, the bonding COM
panies cannot be held Liable for pay
mcnt of the instruments.
The case, which re7echoes the tre-
mendous failure at Mohall which sub
sequently sent Peters, Bergman and
Wiebe to the federal penitentiary at
Fort Leavensworth, Kan, and phases
of which at various times have occu-
pied attention of courts in this dis
trict for many months, involves what
is believed to be one of the largest
amounts of any case recently heard
in district court.
