Who has a sense of humor strong
And wear no collar for a while
And we will initiate the style.
A comic effort. he may make
All table manners to forsake,
And get laugh as he contrives
To leave us eating with our knives.

The friend of cats tries to convert
the cat hater because he feels that
the latter is missing one of the treats
of this world. Friendship for ami
mails is next to friendship for his own
kind.
Among the animals there are but
two that show any real friendship
for that arch animal, man. These
are the dog and cat. From the days
when Tobit came home to find his
dog waiting for him the cat has oc-
cupied his own place on the hearth.
Despite the cruelty of the ages, and
a persecution from man second only
to that visited upon man himself
mans inhumanity to man"-the cat
remains his friend. If he is so for
personal gain, it is exactly the same
reason that ties millions of men to
their jobs. So why blame the cat?
The average cat hater ought to
know the cat better. He should be-
come better acquainted. I believe
that at least six out of the seven foes
of cats would become their friends
upon closer acquaintance.

JURY SELECTED
TO HEAR BANK
S0LVENCY CASE
II. F. ROhr of Dawson Is
Charged With Accepting
Deposits in InsOlvent Bank

A jury was secured today in the
case of the state against H. F.!
Rohr, former vice president of the
now closed First State Bank of
Dawson, Kidder county, charged with
accepting deposits while the bank
was known to be insolvent. Trial
of the case may take several days.
The bank closed on September
9, 1928. The state charges that
Rohr knew the bank was insolvent
last August IL when deposits were
accepted. The case may last for
several days, much of the testimony
being involved.
The state is represented by
Charles Liessman, states attorney
of Kidder county; John Thorpe, first
assistant Attorney Genera( and
William Langer and S. L. Nuchols,
retained by some depositors. George
Thorpe of Fargo is defending Rohr.
1t was necessary to summon addi-
tional talesmen before jury was
secured.
j. A. Hooker, cashier, also was
charged with such violation of law
in Kidder county, and his trial
probably will follow that of Rohr.
A Divorce was granted in the
case of Max Marnosky, against Hafe
Marnosky, and in the case of Joe
Hruby against Anna Hruby, for di-
vorce, judgment was withheld until
the case is formally transferred from
Mclean county.

be on display, and demonstration
will be given showing what can be
done on the typical American farm.

at the residence at 1880 p. M, and

i've pallbearers will be selected from

Nothing has been done as vet in
regard to filling the vacancy on the
independent Republican ticket,
caused by Senator Thorson's death,
and it is uncertain as yet whether
another candidate for senator from
the seventh district will be put up
for the primary election. If no can
didate is nominated at this time one
probably will be nominated by peti-
tion for the fall election.

FIVE AREH HELD
IN ROUNDUP OF
TRAIN BANDITS
Chicago Police Declare Part
of Gang Which Robbed
Train Is Captured
SOME ARE IDENTIFIED?
Chief of Police Declares Two
Postal Employees Identify
Some of Those Held

Chicago, June ID (By the A. P.)-
Five men and woman, now in Gus
tody, one of them wounded five
times, were declared today by Chief
of Police Morgan A. Collins to have
been involved in the daring holdup
of a Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul train which was looted of val
liable mail on Thursday night.
The chief declared that some of
the robbers had been identified that
the arrest Of others was expected
and that part of the loot soon
would be recovered.
The prisoners are: j. II. Wayne,
believed to be an alias, who was
found on the west side with five
bullet holes in his body; Walter
McComes and his wife and Paul
Wade, the latter giving Tulsa, Okla
homa, as his home, who were arrest
ed in a raid on the McComes apart
ment, and James Mahoney, who was
seized later when he appeared at
the McComes home.
The principal clue that first sup
ported the suspicious Of the spolice
against the prisoners was the pos
session by Wayne of $1,000 and
$500 bill, both new, although postal
inspectors were unable to identify
the bills as part of the loot.
Two railway mail clerks are said
by the police to have identified
Wayne as one of the bandits. Ray
mond r. Roche and Walter Mar
guard made the Identification, ac-
cording to the police.
Wayne, the Tulsa man, had three
new $500 bills in his possession,
detectives said, and altogether $4,000
was taken from the prisoners.
A. E. Germer, chief pcNtal in
spector, said he knew of no posi-
tive Identification of any Of the
prisoners. He said he understood
that railroad employees who were on
the train and had viewed the prison
ers had said that they "looked
like the robbers"

JUDGE ORDERS
CRAIG BOND TO
BE FORFEITED
Defendants Attorney De-
clares Illness in Family
Prevents Presence

LaMoure, N. d., June 14-The
wheels Of justice were badly cramp-
ed when the cases against Raymond
w. Craig of Lisbon, who is separate
ly charged with embezzlement and
with making a false entry on cor
poration record, were moved for trial
in district court here before Judge
J. M. Englert of Valley City. These
cases had been transferred from Ran
som to LaMoure county upon order
for change of Venue, and Judge
Englert was called to try the cases
for the reason that the defendant had
filed affidavits of prejudice against
both of the judges of this district.
Mr.. Craig was absent. His attor-
ney, w. II. Barnett of Fargo, appear
ed in his stead and moved for a con-
tinuance of the cases, at the same
time filing afiidavits which were de-
signed to show that Mr.. Craig's lit
tie son is i'll at the family home in
Lake Alfred, Florida, and that if the
father should leave the bedside of
his son, his departure might impede
or impair the chance of recovery of
the patient. Atiidavits from the at
tending physician, from Mr.. and Mrs.
Craig and others were presented.
The motion to continue was oppos-
ed by States Attorney Chas. S. Ego
Of Ransom county. He declared that
Craig had from the outset taken ad-
vantage of every legal technicality by
which he might avoid or stave off the
trial of these cases, of which the
affidav.ts of prejudice and request
for change of venue were examples.
Judge Englert seemed to be strong
ly impressed with this view Of the
matter for he ordered the arraign-
ment of the defendant and that the
trial proceed. Whereupon the name
of Raymond w. Craig was called
thrice, and the defendant not appear
ing-the court declared his bond of
two thousand dollars forfeit to the
state, and at the same time issued
a bench warrant for the arrest of
the defendant. Craig's bondsmen
are Messrs. William Stern and Mau-
rice Kaufman, we'll known business
men of Fargo.
