To Ascertain Amount
OF Sewage Disposal

Construction Of crib from plans
drawn by George w. Perry, city err
gineer, has been completed for the
housing Of a gauge &C the mouth Of
the city sewer where IL enters into
the Quinebaug river south of Arch
street. The State Water Board, under
whose supervision and direction the
pollution of all streams in the state
is to be finally stopped. is TO send a
gauge for the use of the city engi-
neer as the first step in the prelimi-
nary survey which will lead eventual
ly to the installation Of sewer beds by
the city.
II is thought that the gauge for
measuring the amount OF sewage dis
charged into the river will be used for
the better part of a year in order
that the average amount per day, or
per week, or per month, discharged
into the river may be ascertained.

PLAN CANFIELD
SCH00LHOUSE
Temporary School Held in Base.
ment of Building Burned
Past Week

A new school building will be
erected next spring to replace the
Garfield consolidated school building
which burned down last Sunday night
or early Monday morning, according
to a decision of the patrons of the
Garfield school district.
This announcement was made to-
day at the office of the county su-
perintendent of schools, after q mes
sage had been received from Earl
Mowder, clerk Of the Garfield school
board.
The cause Of the fire which razed
the school building is said to have
been overheated furnace pipes.
All that remains of the building is
the cement basement.
A roof will be built on the base
ment Immediately and it WI be used
as q temporary school building until
next spring, Mowder said. A build
ing will be moved from Regan to
Garfield to serve as q teacherage,
the patrons plan.
Three teachers and their families
in the building escaped through the
basement windows after the fire was
discovered about midnight. The
teachers were Ole W. Klevjord, prin-
cepal, Mrs. Louise Klevjord, and
MISS Lydia Klevjord.
Insurance on the building totaled
$1,000, it is said.
The district school board called
the meeting Of the board Wednesday.
Garfield is seven miles north Of Reg

POTTER WILL TESTIFY WEBB'S
DEATH WAS DUE TO ACCIDENT

When Raymond Potter goes on
trial this month on q first degree
murder charge, both the defendant
and his wife will testify in an effort
to prove that the shooting Of Oliver
Webb was accidental.
Webb died from gunshot wounds
said to have been inflicted by .
weapon in Potter's hands.
At 4 coroner's inquest testimony
was presented which caused Potter
to be held on murder charge. He
was subsequently indicted by the
Burleigh county grand jury.
Outlining the plans Of the de.
Tense, Scott Cameron and L. H. Con-
molly, Potter's attorneys, said IN ef-
fort will be made to show that the
shooting was rnintentional and with.
out malice.
The defense contention will b
that the shot Vas fired while thu
men were preparing to 80 on /
hunting trim. Cameron said. Point

MILLION LOST
TO TWO YEGGS

st. Louis, Dec. 1.-(R-About
$1,000,000 in bank checks intended
for collection in Chicago and New
York was obtained by two men who
yesterday afternoon held up q con-
tract postal driver and his wife on
their way to deliver five pouches
to Lambert-St. Louis field. Postal
authorities were attempting today
to determine the value Of other mail
stolen. including registered letters
and parcels.
The amount Of checks was fixed
by Olin n. Atterbury, deputy gov
ernor Of the. st. Louis federal reserve
bank, who said his institution had
not made = shipment yesterday, but
downtown banks had. The banks
would be put to considerable
trouble, he added, but would lose
nothing through the theft.
Two men IN an automobile, neatly
attired and wearing handkerchiefs
for masks, crowded Harry C.
Graham, 36, contract driver, to the
curb and forced him to stop.
The mail pouches were Transferred
and the robbers fled.
The GrAhams, forced into Z Corn
field, could not give . description Of
the men, and caught only three NUM-
lars of the auto license. l76.

BILL GUNNER
SEEKSPARD0N
ON PETITIONS
Fargo Hotel Clerk, Convicted
of Numbering Girl, Seeks
Freedom

Hearing on an application for par
don by William GUNNER probably
will be held by the state pardon
board at its next session.
: GUNNER was the central figure in
the states most famous murder trial
held number of years ago and for
years has been the prisoner at the
state penitentiary about whom Wis
ltors were most curious. He was
convicted of first-degree murder and
sentenced to life Imprisonment in
connection with the death of Marie
Wick of Grygla, Minnesota.
GUNNER was clerk of the Fargo
hotel in which the girls body was
found and was convicted Of the
crime, although he always has
stoutly maintained his innocence.
A brother of the convict recently
has been circulating petition for
his release, although no petitions
have yet been filed with the state
pardon board.
Since GUNNER was convicted of
first degree murder it is doubtful if
action will be taken in his case in
the near future. Under the law
flrst-degree murder convicts are not
eligible to parole until they have
served half Of their life expectancy
at the time of sentence. The life
expectancy Of a prisoner is figured
from mortality tables issued BY in
surance companies and GUNNER has
not yet reached an age where he
would be eligible to parole under
the law. The board could grant a
full pardon but this is rarely done
by the pardon board and almost
never in the case of major offenders
unless, of course, they can prove
their innocence Of the crime for
which they are convicted.
The habit Of the pardon board, ac-
cording to Miss Chrissie Bulge, sec
retary, is to grant a hearing to ap-
plicants such as GUNNER even
though no action is taken. The
board may, however, refuse to hear
the case if it is so disposed.

Chicago Show

Chicago, Dec. 1.-(AP)-Kinrs
and queens Of the animal kingdom,
groomed in dress regalia for a
worlds fair of their own, sought
blue ribbons Of agricultural royalty
today with the opening of the 29th
annual international livestock ex-
position.
There were record entries of near
" 10000 bluebloods, including 10
breeds Of beef cattle, swine, horses
and sheep. Millionaire livestock
fanciers had sent their best stock to
parade for honors during the eight
day show.
Socially prominent leaders Of agri-
culture elbowed with 4O-acre farm
ers in the cosmopolitan crowds that
thronged the stockyards. A message
from Secretary of Agriculture Jar
dine called the exposition a "con-
gress for discussing the farmers
problems"
The international horse show, ex-
hibiting 500 of the worlds choicest
horses, was q fair in itself.
Not only livestock, but grains and
'hays-from Canada, Australia and
New South Wales-were on display
to contest perfection honors with
Americas best.
A veritable university of short
courses in the latest methods of
farming was part of the exposition.
Every agricultural practice, every
implement, every phase of the in
dustry had it's place.

ing to the fact that the men were
close friends, Cameron said that no
trouble had existed between them
and branded rs false and unfair to
Mrs. Potter suggestions that the de-
fense would male any reference to
the "unwritten law" at the trial.
Webb's dying statement, made to
his father, . physician and . police
man, in which the victim Of the
shooting said his injury was acci-
dentally inflicted, was cited BY Cam

Larger Trading Centers Active
While Smaller Towns Feel
Pinch
State One of Four in Union
Where Farm Sales Exceed
1927 Record

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 1.-(AP)-
Marked increase in business activity
IS reported from the larger cities in
North Dakota, although this situa-
tion is not reflected in many smaller
places. according to the monthly re-
view of business and financial condi-
tions in North Dakota.
The review, as prepared by p. w.
Clemens, president of the North
western and Dakota Trust company,
for the Associated Press and its
member newspapers, follows:
BY r. w. Clemens.
More money is being spent in the
larger trading centers of North Da-
kota this fall than at any previous
time since the war, and perhaps in
the history of the state, according to
a tabulation of debts to individual
accounts, which shows the highest
totals for October and early Novem-
ber since these records were estab-
lished in 1920. On the other hand,
there is considerably less business
activity in smaller towns of the
state. Unwillingness of farmers to
market wheat at prevailing price
levels, however, has slowed up COL
lections and has had depressing ef-
feet on wholesale trade.
Construction work during October
was more than three times as great
as a year ago, whereas, a report for
the entire United States shows an
increase of only one-half of one
per cent. North Dakota is one of the
four states in the union where farm
sales this year are greater than a
year ago, according to a Federal
survey.
Machinery Sets Record
Farm machinery sales will reach a
record volume for the year, most Of
the increase being due to enormous
purchases OF tractors and combine
harvesters. Lumber sales during
October were more than twenty per
cent ahead of those for October,
1927.
The farmers situation has inn
proved somewhat during the month,
due to ideal weather conditions, a
slight increase in the price of wheat
and q substantial increase for flax.
A favorable decision in the hearings
which are scheduled for an increased
tariff on flax would undoubtedly re-
suit in still higher price for this
farm crop in which North Dakota
leads the United States in produc-
tion.
Most creditors are showing an in
clination to aid the farmers in their
wheat-holding program by not push

AMERICAN GIRL
MARRIES ROYAL
SWEDISH COUNT
Asbestos Kings Daughter
Weds at Ceremony Costing
Close to Million

Pleasantville, N. Y, Dec. 1.-(AP)
-Estelle Romaine Manville, daugh-
ter of an American industrial king,
and Count Folke Bernadotte, nephew
of the king of Sweden, will be mar
ried late today at q ceremony esti-
mated to cost three-quarters of q
million dollars.
Invited guests include the major
ity of those socially prominent in
New York, members of the Swedish
royal family, and of the aristocracy
Of Europe. It will be the first time
member of royal family will have
been married on United States soil.
Due to the small size of St. Johns
Episcopal church, where the cere-
mony will be performed, wedding
guests will number only about $50,
but the guest list for the reception
at Hiesmaro, the Manville country
estate, included 1000 names.
After the wedding the bride and
groom will tour the United States,
which the groom has not seen extern
sively, and will later make their
home in Stockholm.
Florists, musicians and caterers
have long been in preparation for the
event; the little country church has
been redecorated and an elaborate
Paris trousseau provided for the
bride. Her bridal veil will be Of
Brussels lace, which was worn by
Count Bernadotte's grandmother, the
late Queen Sophia Of Sweden, at her
wedding. The veil will be held in
place by q coronet Of silver and
precious stones.
Count Folke Bernadotte is the
youngest son Of Prince Oscar Berna-
dotte, second brother Of King Gustav
v OF Sweden.
Miss Manville, who is the daugh-
ter Of H. E. Manville, chairman Of
the board Of Johns -Manville, Inc,
made her debut q few years ago in
New York.
