Seaforth Bank
Paid in Full
STOCKHOLDERS GET
100 PER CENT WITH
MORE EXPECTED

Stockholders as well as deposit
ors of the Security State bank of
Seaforth have received a 100 per
cent dividend and more will be
paid soon to the holders of shares
in the institution, j. E. Pistulka
reminded The Gazette this week.
His letter was prompted by the
statement in last weeks issue that
a nine per cent dividend to stock
holders of the State Bank of Red
wood Falls "is believed to be the
first payment to stockholders of a
closed bank in the state, with the
possible exception of a Brown
county institution"
The Brown county bank referr-
ed to, we are now informed, was
the Golden bank.
Depositors in the Seaforth bank
received the dividend which paid
them off 100 per cent in June
1886. The stockholders were paid
in full last December and "There
are still more assets to be collect
ed and further dividends will be
paid its stockholders" Mr.. Pts
tulka states.
j. J. Schweinfurt and p. j.
Schmitz, with Mr.. Pistulka, were
chosen by the stockholders as IL
quidating agents after the de-
positors were paid. They believe
it to be the only closed bank in
the state to pay stockholders 100
per cent.

Weathernan Joins
1000 In Play Day
Sport At Wabasso

The weatherman took charge of
the Redwood county Day of Play
at Wabasso Friday and used rain
to force participants into the city
hall in the afternoon.
The entire event, however, was
pronounced unusually successful,
drawing a crowd of 1000 rural
school children, their parents and
friends.
Children were divided into
three age groups for play in the
morning, the division eliminating
the spirit Of inter-school COM
petition which has been some
what unpleasant in the past and
resulting in a beneficial mingling
of children from all schools.
After picnic lunch with free
lemonade at the park, attendants
went to the hall for program.
The Wabasso schools and Com
mercial club showed every cour-
tesy to make the day a success,
according to members of the
county rural education associa-
ton.

storm disrupted communications
in Helena and Great Falls, Mon
tana, today while Minnesota
crews restored rail and highway
traffic suspended by heavy rain
early yesterday and more rain
fell throughout the state and in

Check Artist Makes
Bank Error, Caught
MAN WHO PASSED BAD
CHECK AT AUNE'S
FACES JAIL TERM

Because he erred on which
bank his victim patronized AL
phorsas Tiedje, sewing machine
salesman, will be sentenced in
Brown county this week after a
series of check forgeries in Red
wood, Lyon and Brown counties.
He was arrested at Springfield
after leading authorities a merry
chase. Among forgeries confessed
was the passing of a $15.75 check
to which he had signed the name
of Mrs. Lulu Kohler at Aune
and Thune's store in Redwood
Falls December 80, 1887.
Tiedje passed the check at
Aune's store at noon, telling M
C. Crosby, employee, that he 9liv2i
ed at Milroy and had received the
check for the sale of some geese
to the Redwood Falls woman. The
Citizens State bank, on which the
check was written, was closed for
the lunch hour and the forgery
was not discovered until Tiedje
had disappeared.
The man told Sheriff George
A Rankin of Lyon county and
County Attorney T o. Streiss-
guth of Brown county that he
lives on a farm north of Marshall,
with Cottonwood as his address.
Was At Lamberton
The confession taken May 10
and forwarded to Sheriff L. j..
Kise here told of a forgery at
Lamberton a few weeks ago.
Tiedje said he signed the name of
w. N. Stearns, Walnut Grove
auctioneer whom he knows Slight
ly, to a $40 check which he pass
ed at beer parlor in Lamberton.
Sheriff Kise had no report of the
forgery.
Other forgeries listed in the
confession were on checks passed
at James Eatros' cafe at Marshall,
the Gamble store in Tracy and at
Tyler.
He said he has been working
for the Singer Sewing Machine
company through Redwood
county and began the series OF
forgeries in December. He is 80
years old and unmarried.
Tiedje was captured at Spring
field last week after playing hide
and-seek with pursuing author
tiles.
Clerk Suspicious
He appeared at the Conley
clothing company May z, selected
suit and made a cash down pay
ment of So. The suit required al
teration and he left the store, re-
turning with a $40 check made
payable to Ed Wesner and bear
ing the forged signature of Arthur
Moe, Springfield farmer.
The check was drawn on the
Springfield State bank and Hans
Dalsgaard, Conley store employee,
knew that Moe banked with the
Farmers and Merchants bank. He
slipped out with the check and
found it to be forgery.
When accused of forging the
paper, Tiedje made grab for it
but failed to obtain it. He then
ran out of the store and into an
alley. A manhunt began with
plenty of volunteers but no trace
of the fugitive could be found.
He was later discovered under
pile of paper in the basement
of a tailor shop where he had re-
moved a light bulb to prevent
authorities finding him. He was
marched upstairs and questioned.
There he made a second break
away, running upstairs in the
building, tearing up another
check he had written in his flight
He was finally captured when he
ran through the back door, bump
ed into Leo Fox and fell to the

Remindful of his high school
career, particularly his last sea-

over every team they played for
an unbeaten record and a Little
Ten championship, was the report
of the practice encounter at the
stadium Saturday when the
Greens, who become the "Blues"
today, rolled over their opponents
