TOWNLEY OWES ALL HIS 6000 BEACH FRIENDS Rare Impartiality Shown by Bankrupt: Head of Nonpartisan i League in Liabilities ——_ V Oct. 25 is the date set by Referee H. F. O’Hare for the hearing in Bis- marck on the bankruptcy petition filed by President. A. C. Townley of the Nonpartisan league and his broth- er, C.F. Townley. It is probable that Townley’s creditors will demand his appearance here at that time. Inas- much as his present residence is more than 150 miles distant from Bismarck, under the bankruptcy laws his credi- tors will be required to pay his ex- penses to Bismarck and return, should he insist upon availing himself of his privileges as a bankrupt. If Townley is required to appear, some interest- ing revelations in regard to his flier in flax may be anticipated, it is said A complete schedule of the liavili- ties of Bankrupt Townley, insolvent head of the Nonpartisan league, filed with Referee H. F. O'Hare, indicates that he displayed rare impartiality in sticking Beach business friends. The manner in which he pyramided liabil- ities in Golden Valley county reveals a Marge amount of ability of a certain character. Cassie Chadwick, appar- ently, had nothing on Bankrupt Town- ley when it came to persuading trust- ing mortals to extend unlimited credit and to part with their coin in return for possible profits from the wildest torcycle tags. at $104, and 31 dealers’, of wild-cat ventures. licenses at $465, a total income for mont 916, distributed as fol we tet ee : Mr. Towniey follows: lows: County highway funds, $1,281. state highway commission, $2,565.62; Schedule of liab'tities.

PROBE IS STARTED Washington, Oct. 5.—Investigating of charges by Representative Heflin that certain members of congress had | “acted. suspiciously” in connection with the war, and inestigation of an interview in which he is alleged to have declared that he had heard members obtained German money by ‘being “lucky at cards,” was begun to- day by a house committee. y Plans .for* hearing Heflin as the first witness were thrown awry by Postmaster General Eurleson, who suddenly arrived at the capitol and took’ Heflin away. The committee then heard two newspaper men who swore that Heflin told them in the house lobby that he had heard that “pro-Genman and peace at any price members of congress,” got money eas- ily at a Washington gambling house conducted by a German by being ‘lucky at cards.” MEMBER OF MEDICAL CORPS FOUND DEAD EI Faso, Oct. ‘With his throat cut, First Lieutenant John Anders, of the medical detachment, Field Artil- le-y was found dead in his room at a local hotel here today.
