berry, at local bank for conversion
into cash was completely unaware
of the fact that the bonds had been
stolen, States Attorney F. f. Nc

night, in company with the owner
Of the bonds, in an. effort to find
the man from whom the securities
were purchased. Mr.. McCurdy will
be accompanied by William LANCER
and Scott Cameron, local attorneys.
Reading in the newspapers that
bonds which had been left ct q To-
cal bank for collection were found
to be part of the bank loot, the man,
whose name is not given out by the
authorities, came to the states at
torney voluntarily and told of pur-
chasing the bonds from q broker in
Minneapolis. He had held them for
about three months but, being in
need Of the cash, decided to convert
them.
Three men are now under arrest
in Minneapolis in connection with
attempts to dispose Of large quanti-
ties Of the stolen securities.

INTEREST IN SPECIAL SESSION WILL
BE RENEWED WITH SORLiE'S RETURN
Developments IN Political Situ.
alton Relative to Legisla-
tive Call and State Mill and
Elevator Controversy win
Be Revealed by Executive

Renewal Of interest in the polit-
ica1 situation which caused Gov. A.
G. Sorlie to announce several weeks
ago that he would call = special
legislative session late in the year,
is expected when the executive re-
turns to his office late next week.
Governor Sorlie now is in Wash
ington and expects to attend 4
flood Jeontrol conference at> st,
Louis before he returns home about
November n. When he gets back
new developments in the political
situation are expected.
The governor has let It be known
that he will have several announce
ments to make regarding the rea-
sons for calling the special session
and the matters which he proposes
to present for consideration by the
states lawmakers. It also is ex-
pccted that he will have something
to say regarding the state mill and
elevator controversy, which Is gen
orally believed to be ono Of the
main reasons for his announcement
Of the proposed special session call.
Among other things the governor
will have before him the report Of
Thomas Poole. certified public ac-
countant, regarding the investiga-
ton Of the books Of the I. s. Joseph
company and the Midland Grain
company, Minneapolis. made by
Poole at the governors request. A
report by o. B. Lund, auditor for
the state board Of auditors, who
examined the firms for that body,
already has been made public.
Lund's report was confined to the
dealings Of the two firms with the
state mill and elevator and Poolc's
report is expected to cover the same
subject.
Although interest ran high fol.
lowing the governors sensational
announcement of . probable special
session, it he's had little to feed up
ON in the absence Of the governor
and in view Of his silence regarding
his reasons for the proposed call.

When Train Hits Truck
Accident Occurred Shortly Be-
fore Noon Today at Ninth
Street Crossing Here-Boy's
Body Mangled-Injured Man
Is in Serious Condition at
Hospital

Lee Scott, II, son Of Car
Scott, who lives on Nineteenth
street, was instantly killed
here today when a truck in
which he was riding was struck
at the Ninth street crossing by
the Northern Pacific North
Coast limited, due here shortly
before noon.
Virgil Langford, driver Of
the truck and a cousin of the
dead boy, was seriously in.
jured.
Members of the train crew
said they did not see the mo.
tor truck until after the crash
Langford and part of the
wreckage was thrown clear OF
the track, but the remainder
and the boy were dragged
along for more than a block
before the heavy train was
stopped. The boys body was
mangled.
Witnesses said the crossing
bells were ringing and a warn
ing semaphore swinging, but
that Langford apparently
failed to see or hear them.
Members of the engine crew
said that the truck was fol.
lowing another machine which
barely cleared the crossing be-
fore the engine reached it.
Langford, who was about &c
years old, came here recently
from Missouri and had been
working for Mr.. Scott and
making his home with him
I4aPgford way stakop~to. st
Alexius hospital and the ma.
ture and extent Of his injuries
had not been ascertained at
press time. It was indicated,
however. that they may prove
fatal, hospital attendants say
ing he was in very bad condi-
tion."
Was Travelling North
Tho truck was travelling north on
Ninth street and was struck in al.
most the exact middle. The en-
gineer and fireman said the first
they knew of the accident was when
they saw part of the wreckage ol
the truck being carried along on
the cow-catcher.
f. r. Becker, Jamestown, Nor
thern Pacific employee, said the en-.
gine whistle was sounded as the
train approached the crossing.
The train travelled more than q
block before the engineer, noting
the wreckage being dragged along
by the engine, brought it to stop,
The body Of the boy was pinned
beneath the cowcatcher and his
head had apparently beaten
against the railroad ties as he was
dragged along beneath the train.

nine years ago today, . tumult Of
ecstasy and JOY swept around the
world. America joined with her
European allies in one majestic
paen Of thanksgiving. From q bat
tered railroad car in Z remote Sec
ton Of war-torn France, where uni
formed men sat making history, had
come . message that struck straight
to the heart. The great conflict
was over; peace ct last had come.
Excitement and emotion knew no
bounds. The realization that Amer
ica and her allies hac triumphed,
that Americas armies would soon
be embarking for familiar shores,
was tinged and darApened only by
the thought Of the many empty
places in the 1anks Of the victorious
Homecoming. The gold-starred

"The boys" came home and Amer
ica poured out 4 heart filled with

also problems to vex and perplex the

to the task Of reconstruction.
As on all Of the succeeding snni-
versaries, with one exception, there
was today no organized celebration.
