her head on q piece Of birch bark. In

this big medicine" which was kill
Ing her, and without which she could

Recalls Old Days

A modern Damon and Pythias sat
Gown together in Bismarck Monday
to review old times and recall OLD
names, old faces and events of the
Gays when they were young and Bis
marck was an outpost on the frontier.
They were r. B. Mellon, a resident
of Bismarck from 1882 to 1887 and
now one of the worlds great financial
leaders, and Col. c. B. Little, presi-
dent Of the First National bank and
a builder OF Bismarck and western
North Dakota for so years.
Il came out here to see my old
friend, Col. Little" Mellon told a
Tribune reporter who Monday inter-
rupted the two-man reunion at the
Little home for a brief interview. Il
have been wanting to do it for long
time"

Believe Woman Shot
Notorious Gangster

New York, Oct. 17.-(P)-John (the
SpideD Murtha, with a record as sin
lister as his sobriquet, has fallen at
last-and detectives think a dainty
handed gungirl shot him.
Since last May New York's $4,000
policemen had been on the watch for
Murtha, accused of two cold FLOODED
murders. They could not find him.
Sunday a motorist saw crumpled
figure crawling painfully on hands
and knees alongside cemetery in
Glendale, Queens. The woe-begone
person was the spider. He had been
shot in four places and pushed out of
a speeding automobile to land on his
head on hard pavement.
you're going to die, Spider said
a detective at hospital. why don't
you tell us who did it,"
"Oh, go away and let me get it over
WITH" he said.
Considering Murtha's love life in
the underworld they said he was a
gallant of sorts) and also considering
the fact that it was a .22-calibre pis-
toll from which the shots were fired,
detectives were led to believe girl
did the shooting. Gangsters are new
er known to use that delicate type Of
pistol, they said.
Murtha Monday lay In a hospital,
where he was given a fair chance OF
recovery.

INCREASE REPORTED
MBUS|NESS Volume
OF ninth DISTRICT
Is Smaller Than Year Ago But
Declines Are Halted, Some
Gains Shown
WHEAT MOVEMENT IS SLOW
Estimated Cash Income Of
Northwest Farmers Nearly
As Large As in 1891

Minneapolis, Oct. l7.-(P- VOL
ume of business in the ninth federal
reserve district during September
continued to be smaller than the VOL
ume year ago. but the declines in
many lines we're not as great as the
decreases reported for earlier months
and the autumn upturn in business
in many cases was greater than the
seasonal expectancy, the Minneapolis
federal reserve bank reported Satur-
day.
These are evidences that the dis
trict is slowly recovering from the
effects of last years crop failure, al
though the national business depres-
sion continues to have a bad effect
on the activities of the district, the
report asserted.
The greatest improvement in Sep
TENDER occurred in city department
store sales. September sales were
only 10 percent smaller than sales
In September last year, whereas the
decrease from last years records re-
ported for August was "a percent,
and for July % percent.
Moreover, the increase in sales
from August to September was nearly
twice as large as customary, the re-
port said. Smaller decreases from
last years figures than had been
reported in preceding months occur
red in bank debts, country check
clearings. freight carloadings, city
real estate activity, flour shipments,
and iron ore shipments.
THE recovery from the effects of
the crop failure was delayed by the
tardy movement of cash grains from
the FARMS" the bank reported. 1.-THE
movement of wheat in particular has
been slow and at the present time,
30 million bushels less wheat has
been received at terminal markets
than would ordinarily have been re-
ceived up to this time from crop
and carry-over of this years
amount"
The estimated cash income of
northwestern farmers from market
ings during September was only Z
per cent smaller than income in Sep
TENDER last year. The income from
wheat, in spite of delayed market
ings, was twice as large as last years
September income from this source.
The increase in income from wheat
almost entirely offset the decreases
in income from dairy products and
hogs. Prices of all major farm prod
ucts of the northwest were lower in
September than in the correspond
oc& -
ton of eggs. There was strong
seasonal increase in the price of eggs
during September, and the average
was 10 per cent higher than in Sep
TENDER last year.

ALLEGED KIDNAPERS
CAUGHT BY POLICE,
VICTIM IS RELEASED
Boston Theatrical Supply Deal
or Tells Story Of Six
Days Of Torture

Hull, Mass, Oct. 17.-(P)-Six days
of captivity that amounted to torture
were described Monday by Herman
F. Rutstein, Boston theatrical supply
dealer, as he prepared to face and
formally accuse three pri one S
charged with kidnapping him for $780,
600 ransom.
A swift police raid on a summer
cottage here Sunday released Rut-
stein and bagged the trio. Five other
members of what detectives called a
kidnapping ring were sought in Prcvi-
dence and New York, where they
were believed to have fled.
The supply dealer, who is 80, was
kidnapped from his garage in Boston
last Tuesday. Bound and blindfolded
almost continuously for six days, he
was roped to a bed in the cottage
here. He was gagged with ticker
tape, which his captors would occa-
sionally rip away, tearing his mouth.
He was unshaved and weak from
rough treatment when an anonymous
telephone call sent police to the COT
tage. He said he resisted the de-
mands of his captors. They told him,
he declared, that they had obtained
$4,000 by kidnapping two unnamed
Boston men and $4,000 for a New
Jersey man.
The three seized in the cottage
said they were Joseph Gould, "a, and
Walter M. Addison, %. of Boston,
and William Harmon. 20. of Brook
lyn. Police said Gould's fingerprints
identified him as Max Schechter of
New York city.
