CHARGES FOR CHECK
ACCOUNTS ALTERED
Customers Will Be Assessed
Measured Service Fees by
Local Banks

A system Of measured service
charges for checking accounts was
put into effect Saturday by the Bis
marck -Mandan Clearing House asso-
citation.
The charge in every case is deter
mined by the number of checks drawn
and the size of the balance carried.
BY maintaining larger balance. or
keeping within the free check limits,
the depositor can eliminate the serv-
ice charge for the checking account.
For depositor whose average daily
balance is between sol and 500. a
base payment Of $50 is charged. The
depositor then is allowed to issue 10
checks against his account without
further charge. For each check over
10 he will be assessed four cents.
From depositors who maintain av-
erage daily balances of 500 or more,
no base payment is required. If the
average is between 500 and 5000, the
depositor is allowed 20 free checks
against the account. If the average
Is between 5000 and $500, he Is al
lowed 80 free checks.
In short, average balances of 500
and over are allowed one free check
for every SO of average balance.
Business accounts having consider
able activity are subject to individual
analysis, 1t is announced, otherwise
no exceptions are being made to the
new system.
The new charge is called the meas
ured service charge, it Is explained,
because each depositor whose account
is carried at loss is charged in d.
rect proportion to his use of the
checking service.
A booklet explaining the new sys-
tenn is being distributed to every de-
positor who has a checking account
in the member banks Of the Clearing
House association with his or her bal
ance reports for June.
Members of the association are the
First National Bank of Bismarck,
Dakota National Bank and Trust
company of Bismarck and the First
National Bank of Mandan.

John Gammons. former secretary
OF the North Dakota Industrial COM
mission, was found guilty Of en-
bezzlement by jury in Burleigh

o'clock Saturday morning. He was
accused of taking $500 from state
funds.
The penalty for embezzlement Is

After conference with his attor-
neys Saturday, Gammons said an ap-
peal would be taken to the supreme
court
Sentence was set for 2 p. M, Satur-
day but was delayed for IS minutes.
At 2:45 p. m. counsel for the prose-
cutlon and defense began statements
to the court, in order that he might
have their views before pronouncine
sentence.
Attorney General A. j. Gronna re-
commended sentence of 10 years un-
der statute providing one to 81 years
for embezzlement while Sullivan, de-
Tense counsel, recommended Gam
mons be sentenced under a statute
providing l to years imprisonment
for embezzlement.
A third statute provides for a term
OF to 10 years Imprisonment.
Having begun its deliberations
shortly before o'clock Friday eve
ming, the jury Of eight men and four
women reached its verdict after ap-
proximately II hours.

verdict for conviction was reached on
the fifth ballot. Votes on tho second,
third and fourth ballots were uine
to three, 10 to two and II to one.
with those for conviction predominant
ing.
Seven Hear Verdict
When the jury came from it's de-
liberation room into the court room,
those in the court room included
Gammons, Cameron, Assistant Attor.
ney General Milton K. Higgins,
States Attorney George s. Register,
Clerk Of Court Charles Fisher, Judge
Jansonius and Court Reporter Cliff
ford Jansonius.
When the Judge asked II the Jury
had reached a verdict, Mrs. Gertrude
Scallon OF Wing, foreman, replied
Eyes" She then delivered the writ
ten verdict to the clerk Of court, who
read it aloud.
Cameron then announced that 1t
was probable the defense would de.
sire to make some motions before
sentence was passed and Judge jan
sonius tentatively set the time for
passing sentence at o'clock.
Gammons was found guilty OF
converting to his own use $500 In
interest on the $4,000 military his
tory fund which was on certificate
OF deposit in the Bank Of North Da-
kota. This interest accrual became
due Aug. II, 1881, and testimony
showed that he had withdrawn the
interest and placed it In the First
| National Bank in the account OF
John Gammons, Sec, later making
Withdrawals from this account.
| Four Days Of Testimony
For four days witnesses had been
examined, eight for the state and
three for the defense. Gammons
himself was on the stand for 10 con.
secutive court hours, most Of the
time under rigorous cross-examina-
ton by Assistant Attorney General
Higgins.
The state presented IS exhibits in
evidence, more than so OF which were
accepted by the court. All were in
struments or documents of the Bank
Of North Dakota, First National Bank
Of Bismarck or the industrial COM
mission.

She raised her blue eyes from

asked him. IF one man can go
into the brokerage business and
get rich, why can't another?"

Adventure Club

We think our new club
member, June Hill of Bruns-
wick, Md, has the prettiest
name. June is one Of the
loveliest months of the year
and her last name, Hill, re-
minds us of all sorts of beauti-
full things. We know people
who live in flat countries,
plains and prairies, ETC., and
love them but we haze always
thought we couldn't bear 20
be away from the hills.
June writes:

door of the flat. He was going
to the pictures, he said, and
wanted to know if Sharlie'd like
to go with him.
Feelings Hurt
There's nothing else to do,
I may as WE'LL" Sharlie told him
ungraciously. and he merely
grinned at her as he usually
did when she said something
that hurt his feelings.
Outside there was starlight
and a lovely warm little breeze
whispering along the street.
Jim's car, clean and brightly
polished as always, cleaned and
glittered in the light of the
street lamp in front of the
apartment house.
Lets drive somewhere and
dance. for a change" Sharlie
suggested. Something about
the night made a stuffy moving
picture theater seem impossi-
BILE. Two hours of sitting be-
side Jim with her hand IN his,
while she thought of Mr.. Col
Inns on his way up to the North
woods. No, she certainly didn't
want to go to the pictures with

How would you like to go

mine?" he asked, helping her

almost all Of the front windows
in it were filled with light.
Those on the ground floor were
particularly cheerful looking,
with frilled net curtains on
one side and pale yellow silk
on the other side. Between one
pair of the yellow silk curtains
hung canary birds cage, and
there were potted plants on the
sill beneath it.
II know three married couples
in this building" Jim remarked
as they got out. His voice
sounded pleasant once more, as
if he had forgotten the holding
hands episode Of a few min
utes before. Gosh. wouldn't it
be fine if you and I could get
married and live in a place like
this. Sharlie?"
Sharlie caught her breath at
the suddenness Of the >ques-
tion. She never considered an
answer to it. The thought had
come to her, sharply and clear
ly as a thought can come, that
she was going to marry Mr..
Collins if she could Why
not? Why not? She asked her
self all the way to the third
floor where the Bakers lived.
Some woman was going to, in
all probability. Why houldn't 1t
be she?",

green suit. and a soft little black
hat with a green feather at one
side.
Jim was fishing for her hand.
He found it and held it under
his on the driving wheel.
II wish you Wouldn't"
Sharlie'S voice was sharp and
she drew her hand from under
his.
Disappointed
In the darkness she saw his
head turn toward her quickly.
His eyes. she knew. were study"
ing all he could see of her face.
She knew, too, that she had
hurt him and she didn't care.
She almost hated him tonight
because he was not Mr.. Collins.

Sharlie?",
Nothing. just don't want
you to. . to fool around with
me-" she said awkwardly.
That's a funny way to put
it. I wasn't trying to fool
around with you, Sharlie -
He broke off abruptly and in
silence the two of them rode
along until the little car stopped
before the apartment house
where the newly married
Bakers lived.
