Ac- cording to O. E. Lofthus payments will be made to depositors of the Tol- ley bank as soon as the audit is com- pleted, which may be within a week or two. i It was announced that a recent decsion of the supreme court of Nebraska to the effect that when a bank pays a higher rate of in- terest than the legal rate the de- posit ts not guaranteed under a guaranty law will be applied in North Dakota, and that deposit- . ore in closed banks who received a higher rate of interest than six percent will not have the protec- tion of the guaranty fund law, and will not be paid the amount of their deposits by the commis- sion. The members of the guaranty fund commission are Governor Frazier, chairman;. 0. B, Lofthus, secretary- treasurer, S..G. Severtson, Bismarck; B. J. Schoregge, Williston, and M. R. Porter, Minot. The money collected by the Depos- itors Guaranty Fund Commission for the purpose of paying off depos- itors of closed banks has been de- posited in the Bank of North Dako- ta. ‘The fund totals about $308,000, ac- cording to {W. Lofthus, state examin- er and secretary-treasurer of the com- mission, who depusited the money in the state bank. Many bankers viewed the. sit- uation with apprehension when they’ learned that the money had been deposited in the Bank of North Dakota, several weeks ago, because of the fact that the Bank of ‘North Dakota has been unable to meet all its obligations. Mr. Lofthus insists that the Bank of North Dakota will be able to pay off the checks to depositors which miay be mailed out withia the next two weeks. \ The guaranty fund law provides | that the money shall be left in the banks assessed until it is ready to be paid out. However, the withdrawals were made two or three weeks ago and the money deposited in the one bank. It hid been reported that this was done to provide the Baux of North Dakota with much needed cash. Mr. Lofthus declares that it wae done because it was expected | that the money would be paid out immediately but that it was found) necessaty to make a new audi: of | the Tolley bank because of a recent | court decision and interpretation by | the Guaranty Fund Commission The law also provides that “all | (Plans are to have passengers dis- | embark from the carg at the edge of | New Salem and headed by the band | march through the. city tianson farm from which the tourists will travel north ver the Holstein Breeders’ circuit having lunch at the Charles Klusman place about noon.

M. Brumfield, a dentist, follow- ‘ng the findng of his wrecked and} burned automobile beside the road/ near here with the, headless body <* a man beneath it. | The warrant charged Brumfield with the murder of Dennis Russell, a labor- er, and it is based on the theory, Sher-| iff Stamer said, that Brumiield killed ed the body in his car to the scene of the wreck where he blew off the tifying articles on the slain man’s) | body. Investigation disclosed, the sher-/ iff said, that Brumfield was heavily| involved financially and that he car- ried life and accident insurance to the amout of $26,000 in favor of his wife. | Mrs. Brumfield today identified the headless trunk found beneath the au-! tomobile as that of her husband, al-| though physicians who knew both men; said it was that of Russell. — —______________—_ "TO OPEN HOSPITAL | IN FAR NORTH |< oe 8 Nome, Alaska, July 15.—Dr, James | e | Burleigh county this year is }to County Auditor Frank ‘Complete figures on tilled and | tilled land have been prepared by the € tat in- | Burnwell (0) today.

Larson superintended the construction of the pool. He was aided greatly by voluntary labor.

There will be shower baths and a checking systent will be maintained so that as many people as can get in the pool may be accommodated. Plans have not been developed as yet for the dedication, but the turning over of the pool to the city probably will be made a big event. Use 10 Tons of Steel. An idea of the immense Job in build- ing the pool is given by Mr. Larson,| who said that 10 tons of reinforcing steel was used and over 3,000 sacks of cement. | The bath house construction was! held up temporarily today because of| the failure of metal lathe to arrive.

R. Offley Cross-Examined in Hettinger Murder Trial Hettinger, N. D., July 15.—-D, R. Of- fley, defendant on trial for the alleged murden of M. K. Bowen in Beach, 1919, under cross-examination on the! stand yesterday and today, maintained that the only reason he bought a re- volver: in March, 1919, three months before the murder was because of fear ot Bowen. (He admitted this fear and named friends and neighbors whom he said had advised him of threats by Bowen. He bought a revolver and told about it on the theory that if Bowen knew he had a gun, he would not assault | him, he asserted. ‘Questioned as why four armed men were necessary to get his cattle on the trip in which Bowen was killed Of- fley declared he believed there was safety im numbers and it would mini- mize the hazard. “F had no hatred for Powen, just fear of what he might do,” the witness de- clared. Indications were that the state| would examine some witnesses in re- buttal and that the case would go to the jury not earlier than Wednesday of next week. There is no indication, according to attorneys, that in the event of Offley's acquittal the state will allow this ver- dict to rule the case of the other three charged with murder, and dismiss the | cases.

A large crowd awaited (Mr. DeValera and cheered him as he entered Downing street, repeating the ovation as he and his companions left at the close of the talk with iMr. Lloyd George. As the conference proceeded pray- ers for its success were said by the crowd in Whitehall, the men and women kneeling and reciting the rosary. Those in touch with the situation believe the preliminaries between the prime minister and the Republican leader have been worked out and that the next step will be consultation between Mir.
