It has been’ charged by the Townley press that 1 have. depleted the general fund by making illegal and unwarranted transfers from this fund. “As usual these statements are con- temptible lies, as will not only the rec- ords of my office and those of the state treasurer’s office prove, but also the fact that. Governor Frazier and Com- missioner Hagan, the majority mem- bers of the industrial commission, vot- ed to loan the state general fund from the Bank of North Dakota the sum of $25,000 clearly. establish the-falsity of these charges. “The fact that Governor Frazier has deemed it necessary to transfer funds from the Bank of North Dakota to the state general fund . is itive proof that such fund is absolutely de- pleted, for if the charges and insinua- tions of the Townley press, to the ef- fect that I have juggled or misappro- priated the general fund of the state, were true then action could have been started in the courts before this time and I could have been compelled to credit back to the general fund any money wrongfully transferred from such fund. “The truth of the matter is that drouth, is now heing dragged and roll- naw county, where his parents were 50 to $12.50; Hogs, 4,000 strong, mostly 25 cents Heavy packing sows, smooth, $16.75 packing sows, rough, $16.00 Wheat receipts 587 cars compared Cash No. 1 northern, $2.30 to $2.50.

Through an error it was advertised that Tuttle would be the visiting ag- gregation, but Wilton is the Colts’ op- ponent. Both teams are prepared for a hot battle, and, as the rivalry be- tween the two is very: intense, fans can look forward to witnessing the best game that the local team has yet played. - Manager Patzman announced today that there would be a slight change in the line-up, but that the team as a whole would practically be the same as that which defeated McKenzie two weeks ago in a ten inning game. The “million dollar. infield” and “murder- ers’ row” are expected to form the de- fensive and offensive strength needed to crush Wilton’s championship hopes.
