lieved they were carrying a real
count, and Harold Berrier, son of
a pioneer Flasher merchant, did
MT do anything to disillusion
them.
When Berrier boarded the train
at Chicago, the word went out
that Count Du Berrier of Paris"
was en- route to, the wild west.
Pullman, dining car and other
railroad officials were ordered to
show the count" every courtesy.
A delegation awaitad him at Man
dan to guide him and familiarizc
him with North Dakota life, es-
pecially the Indians.
Berrier arrived in full state, and
everything went we'll until some
one said, We'll. If it isn't Harold
Berrier has Travelled extensively
and has reputation as an artist,
poet. writer. aviator and cosmo-
polite. He recently returned from
Paris and northern Africa.

New York, Dec. 24-(R)-Securities

Thursday, while holiday preparations

time in the morning, but developed
an easier tone after midday. Early
