bling-Ready to Fight

The Mandan Braves, through with
a week of intensive practice, are pre-
pared for their invasion of Bismarck
tonight and will cross the river, de-
tcrmired to fight hard for victory.
One cloud has appeared on the
Brave horizon and tina, is in the in
jury Of Helbling. In practice Thurs
day night, Hclbling collidcd with
Jarvis while he was following up the
ball and injured his leg. 1t is us-
likely that he will be in the game to-
night but if he is able to 20 in he
will be unable to play ut his custom
AIRY speed.
Other members Of the team are in
good shape, and Borrcsen's arm, al-
though still troubling him a little,
will likely permit him to play the
entire game. In case he is in, the
lineup will likely be Scitz and Nc
Donald at forwards, Borrcscn at cen
ter and Heidi and Wagner at guards.
Smooth teamwork has featured
Brave practices this week and speed
has also been shown. Mandan can
be expected to send IA hard-fighting
aggregation in this evening, even il
handicapped by injuries.

IS
SENTENCED IN
| MORTON COURT
:. III. Zorn, Golden Valley
Banker, Given Two and
One-half Years

Pleading guilty to two charges Of
embezzlement, here late Thursday. T..
H. Zorn, Golden Valley banker, was
sentenced by Judge II. l.. Berry to
two and one half years in the state
penite ntiary on both counts, the sem
fences to run concurrently.
Zorn was arrested May 20, 1926.
after discovery of a shortage of APP
proximately $1,000 in his accounts,
and arraigned in Mercer county dis
trict court in October before Judge
Thomas Pugh. His attorney filed n
double barrclcd affidavit of pref
udicc and the case was then trans
ferrcd to Mandan.
When the case came up here in No
vcmber, Zorn asked an extension of
time because Of illness and n serious
operation he was about to undergo.
Up to this month he had been deter
mined to plead not guilty but after a
conference with officials changed his
plea to guilty.
In passing sentence, tho court TOOK
into consideration his i'll health and
the 0pc ration he had recently under
gone. The fact that he is married
and has a month-old child was also
taken into consideration.
Covered Long Period
Zorn, before coming TO Golden VAL
Icy. had been connected with banks
in Volga and Bculah. His pecula-
tions. extending over a long period
Of time, were not discovered until
the state bank examiner became
suspicious about the large number of
cash items listed in his monthly state
mcnt.
A deputy examiner was sent to
Golden Valley and then discove red
the $1,000 shortage. Zorn had not
been in financial need but was de-
scribcd by former States Attorney
David Schwartz as a man who had
had no trouble making money before
he entered the banking business.
MIR. Schwartz, whose term as Mer-
Ger county states attorney expired in
January, was appointed by the board
Of county commissioners to prosecute
this case to it's conclusion.
Sheriff Henry Handtmann of Nor
ton county took Zorn to the pcniten-
tiary this morning.

SolUed the Mystery
of "Bleeding" Pillar

The following incident IS quoted
from the report Of the Union Kanarese
seminary in Tumkur, South India: I'm
a village five miles away there stands
before the temple tall, slender pillar,
down the side Of which for some little
distance rain has left q course of red
rust. The people declare that peri
odically the pillar bleeds, and there,
sure enough, is the. thin red line. In
some quarters, few months ago. the
fear grew lest the appearance of the
blood On the pillar should be portent
Of disaster to the state. The six senior
students went out to investigate this
phenomenon. With great tact they
won the confidence of the leading folk
Of the village so far as to induce them
to have a ladder brought and set up
against the pillar from the roof Of the
temple. One of the students mounted
the ladder, a somewhat risky proceed
ing, and climbing to the top of the
pillar proved to the people beyond con.
troversy that the bleeding was due to
an iron spike in a cup at the top of
the shaft. When safe descent had
been effected, the men improved the
occasion in apostolic fashion and
preached Christ to the crowd that had
gathered"

Life Study Basis of
Old Greek Philosophy

The old Greek philosophers spent all
their lives in the pursuit Of knowledge
concerning the riddle Of life, discuss
ing all its phases to the point of re-
ductio ad absurdum. An example OF
the dilemma to which their reasoning
led them is displayed in the following
argument between Aristotle and Prota-
goras, says the Market for Exchange.
The latter claimed that all Is Illusion
and that there is no such thing as
truth. Aristotle refuted him with the
following dilemma: "Your proposition
is true or false; If it is false, then you
are answered; If true, then there Is
something true, and your proposition
fails"
Another famous problem of the
Stoics ran thus: "When a man says
I lie,' does he lie or does he not? II
he lies he speaks the truth; If he
speaks the truth he lies" Exhaustive
works were written on this, Chrysip-
pus favoring the world with six tones
in an attempt to solve 1t. Philetus
finally met an early death because Of
too long hours of study on various ex-
plantations.
