BUILDING TO
BE VOTED ON
:.
Bismarck Citizens Urged to
Give Approval 10 the Prof
ect Next Tuesday

The citizens of Bismarck will be
given an opportunity next Tuesday,
June s. to vote their approval of the
proposed $4,000 bond issue for the
purpose of erecting community
building here. The ballot will con-
tain two questions, one relating to
the increase of the limit Of indebted
ness for Bismarck and the other the
question Of issuing $4,000 worth of
bonds for the purpose Of erecting the
proposed building. Each question on
the ballot must be answered in the
affirmative, hackers of the commune
ity building project point out, as it
is necessary for both proposals to
have q favortble vote in order that
the plan may be carried out.
The great need of such q building
as it is planned to build has been felt
here for some time. Thefe is no
suitable place in Bismarck to house
the state corn show, the poultry show,
large expositions which would be
staged here if facilities were ade-
quate. Large conventions avoid Bis
cient size to accommodate them. The
lON0t COuIp0uI$S VI Iuc IVutlOudI
Guard are badly in need Of better and
larger quarters, and there are a num-
Der of civic organizations. such as
the Legion, the Auxiliary, the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars, and others
which need suitable meeting places.
Backed by the A. Q.
building isWpJAs6red BY the Asso.
citation Of Commerce, whose directors
state that they have no desire Of
loading an unnecessary debt onto the
city, but that BismarN: is growing
rapidly and it is very necessary that
an adequate meeting place be pro-
vided if the city is to continue to
forge ahead and maintain its rank
with the other cities of the state.
While the building committee Of
the Association of Commerce. at first
recommended the erection Of $97.-
600 building, it was finally deter
mined that a building to cost ap-
proximately $4,000 would meet the
needs Of the city for many years to
come, and the latter project was ap-
proved. The proposed building would
be T2 14O feet in size, with full
basement The ground floor would
have an l8-foot ceiling and the base
ment a l2-foot ceiling. The main
floor would be built without pillars,
so that there would be q clear floor
space, making it available for bas-
ketball games and tournaments, rs
we'll as the larger expositions.
Every citizen interested in the
proposition should make. it point
to vote next Tuesday, as q two-thirds
majority of all votes cast will be
necessary to permit carrying out of
the plans.

RARTf.ETT REGRETS THAT
EXPLOSION KILLED. THREE

MuskegOn. Mich, June l--(R-Asa
K. Bartlett. 28-year-.ld Blue Lake
constable, started two years ago to
construct the bomb which, sent
through the mails, caused the dea.A
last Thursday Of August Krubaech,
his daughter Janet, and her fiance,
William r. FRANKIE. This was reveal
ed when Bartlett's confession was
made public today.
II thought that maybe / would want
to use it," Bartlett explained.
II was two years ago that township
politics involved Krubaech and Bart
lett in bitter opposition to each other.
Bartlett in his confession expressed
regret that the bomb killed Janet and
FRANKIE. 1T was for Krubaeeh alone"
he said.
Il conceived the idea only last We'd
nesday of sending the bomb through
the mail and so l went to Montague
and purchased the wrapper, stickers,
and then brought the package direct
ly to the Muskegon postoffice and
mailed it," the confession continued.
II did not know the bomb had killed
Krubaech and the other two until |
was informed by the officers early
Friday morning"
Refusing again the services Of an
attorney engaged by his father, Bart
lett told officers he wanted to be on
his way to prison as soon as possible.
II hate to leave the folks; they need.
me. but as far as my own life is con-
cerned it makes no difference; / am
content" he said.
Bartlett will be arraigned today
He is expected to waive examination
and be Immediately taken into circuit
court.
Pyr0tol Used
Describing the construction OF the
bomb, Bartlett said he made the ex-
plosive part Of it Wednesday. ITO
set it off, he said, II used the me-
chanism Of an old shotgun. The
bomb was in hinged box When
the box was opened it pulled wire
attached to "A homemade trigger.
This exploded rifle cartridge. In
this cartridge was percussion cap"
The instrument, Bartlett said, was
charged with five sticks of pyrotol.
He said he bought the explosive at
village store several miles from
his home in Blue Lake township.

American Express Party
 Due to Arrive Saturday

According to local reports il is at once evident that the American Ex- press tours people are as discrimins-- ing in selecting escorts for their tour, ing parties as they are in other things, and that their judgement was no; amiss when MT. V. A Shedd was selected to father their parties visIt. ing Alaska. A sourdough now for thirty years past, MT. Shedd received his initiation into that order Of Pio- neer men, even before the Kondike gold stampede was thought of. There was no Skagway and no Dyea traIl when he first came north of fifty four and he did not follow the crowd bu' preceded them. Since then he &as made many trips north and his in terest in 'rOur Alaska" is just as kes1 today as it was when he made his first trip.
 He had just returned from Soutf America and South Africa before lesv ing for Alaska. Gems and preciou: metals, diamonds and gold nuggets have their lure for Mir. She6d. Hs said one of the reasons he came u Alaska was to get g pocket fun Q. nuggets to go with the other pocke' full of diamonds he wanted to bring back from Kimberley. The party ar rives in Seward Sunday from Fair banks.
