Rathbun, "a years old, and residing
near Westerheim, met death alone
in a draw five or six miles north
of Sentinel Butte early Monday
morning, having been pinned under
his car, which had gone over into a
ditch. Little is known as to the
cause of the accident, but from the
appearance of the roadway his car
must have stalled at the top of the
hill and backing down, with brakes
telling to work, went over 2O-foot
embankment, undoubtedly killing its
occupant instantly or nearly so. The
accident is supposed to have oc-
Cured between three and four
o'clock in the morning, as about the
former hour he stopped at neigh

Added Money For Closed
Banks With Which to Pay

The War Finance Corporation has
agreed to return to North Dakota
closed banks all collateral "over-
plus" in the same manner as large
financial institutions of the Twin
Cities, and as a result closed bank
depositors will materially gain, it
was announced today by l.. R. Baird,
general receiver Of closed banks.
Under the agreement, in cases
where the War Finance Corporation
LOANED money to North Dakota banks
and they were unable to repay, and
the corporation forecloses on the col
lateral security placed with it, the
War Finance Corporation will return
to the closed banks all money in eX-
cess Of the actual amount needed to
pay the loan and collections, accord
ing to Mr.. Baird.
The same agreement, reached with
large financial institutions of the
Twin Cities weeks ago, is already
resulting in the return Of money fo,
the benefit OF depositors Of closed
banks, Mr.. Baird said. At the time
the agreement with private institu.
tions was announced by S. G
Severtson of Bismarck and c. B. Nc.

Guaranty Fund Commission, it was
stated that negotiations were pro

thority from the War Finance Cor
poration at Washington.
The War Finance Corporation, ac
cording to MIR. Baird, is the larges
single creditor of closed North Da
kota banks. Many banks, during th'
emergency of the last three years
borrowed money from the War Fin
ance Corporation, giving individuals
notes of various kinds for security

will be returned to North Dakota
Some "overplus" already has beer

Mr.. Baird said.
State officials greeted the an
nouncement of the War Finance Cor
poration with enthusiasm, believing
that the closed banks will gain mater
tally.
In cases where the collateral il

STAR SERVICE TILTS
END HERE SATURDAY

When the Quantico Marines and the
Fort Benning Infantry meet in Clark
Griffith Stadium Saturday afternoon,
their foot ball game probably will be
the last between all-star elevens rep
resenting branches of Uncle Sans $
armed forces to be played in Wash
ington or anywhere else for some
years.
A War Department edict recently
made public proscribes after January
| l, 1925, the organization of basket
ball, base ball, soccer and foot ball
teams composed strictly or mainly OF
officers in the various corps areas for
interservice competition, the depart
ment seeking to increase competition
among the enlisted personnel of the
Army.
That order makes this the last sea
son for the famous Sd Corps foot ball
aggregation and although allofficer
teams still may be organized by gen
eral and special service schools such
as Fort Benning, they may play only
college and civilian teams. Other
Army teams and Navy and Marine
Corps teams are not to be met.
So Washington gridiron fans who
dote upon all-star assemblages such
as Quantico and Fort Benning will
present here Saturday would do we'll
to get to the game. 1t likely will be
their last chance to witness such a
clash for quite a while.
Both teams went through grueling
drills yesterday. The Marines were
sent into a light scrimmage at Guam
tico and today began secret drilling.
Fort Benning, feeling much benefited
