StOckWen Talks
to Mandan Rotary

Pirate gold, not the fur trade, was
responsible for the John Jacob Astor
fortune, in the opinion OF Walter l..
Stockwell, grand secretary of North
Dakota Masons who yesterday con-
cluded their annual communication
at Bismarck
Mr.. Stockwell developed that theme
Yesterday noon before the Mandan
Rotary club. He set forth that the
Astor fortune was founded on the
finding of Captain Kids treasure
not on the fur trade.
Mr.. Stockwell based his talk on the
researches Of professor in the his
tory department in one Of the large
Universities Of California, To de-
velOp his subject he went into the
old bank records Of the New York
bank in which John Jacob kept his
account at that time.
Examination Of those records. it
was said disclosed the fact that tbs
fur trader never kept more than II
few hundred dollars on deposit in
the bank. Then, suddenly, he de-
posted a fortune in one year. And
il was made of gold and silver coins
Of all nations, pieces of plate, gold
and silver, and best Of all, jewelry
Of every imaginable style and design
Of workmanship.
Several delegates at the communi-
cation Of the Grand Lodge were pres
