The grading proposal was brought before the board by Burt Finney and Dr. W. E. Cole, representing a com- mittee from the board of education. They explained that it was practi- cally impossible for students to reach Richholt school, especially during the rainy season or in the spring of the year when snow is melting. Three firms submitted bids for furnishing coal for the water plant and general city purposes for the winter. The firms bidding were the Washburn Lignite Coal company, the Occident Elevator company, and the Knife River Coal Mining company. | Awarding of bids was deferred until next Monday night. City Attorney C. L. Young re- ported favorably on the insurance policies for seven members of the volunteer fire department. However, other matters concerning the advisa- bility of the policies arose, and final action was passed until the next meeting hight. The bond of the Haggart Construc- tion company, successful bidders for paving in district No, 6, was pre- sented and approved. The bond was in the amount of $15,000, and the Northern and Dakota Trust com- pany was named as the surety. Local Dealer Gets Shipment of Buicks Increased production of the Buick Motor Company today was felt by several of Bismarck residents when a portion of a solid train load of Silver Anniversary Buicks . reached here from the factory at Flint, Mich- igan. This was accomplished through the emergency program otdered by E. T. Strong, President and General Manager of the company, to supply the demand for the 1929 models. Orders for each of the cars had been booked ahead, and delivery was made earlier than had been antici- pated by Fleck Motor Sales, Inc., in view of the enormous demand throughout the country, One of the busiest departments in the more than seventy Buick factory the Traffic Division, which handles routing of these ship- ments. Shipping facilities at the factory have been taxed to capacity in order to cope with the increased production, and railroad officials at Flint. have been forced to add extra men in the Buick yards to handle the larger volume of traffic. $150,000 in Diamonds Loot of Gem Thieves Milwaukee, Wi Sept. 11.—(7)_ Slugged’ by two unmasked men who bound and gagged him David Zim- mern, president of David Zimmern, jewelers, New York, was robbed of Jewels valued at more than $150,000 Jate Monday afternoon in his suite on the 16th floor of the Schroeder hotel.

This novel question has been raised by J. N. Powell, Morgan county attorney and member of the Methodist church, in an appeal to the Alabama supreme court from the convicticn of Mrs. Emma Mar- shall on a charge of murdering her husband, Thomas Marshall. iui,’the state produced evidence tending to show that Mar- shall, when he was found by neigh- bors at his home, suffering from a pistol wound in his abdomen, ac- ced Mrs. Marshall of having shot im, In addition to attacking the ad- missibility of this evicencé on the grounds that Marshall, being asleep at the time, could not have known who shot him, the defense attempted to impeach his statement by declar- ing he was an infidel. The Morgan county circuit court, however, declined to admit the in- troduction of the religious issue and the counsel for the defense now has incorporated that phase of the case into the appeal to the suprem> court. Attorney Powell, in appealing the], case, declared that the law permits | sa; the accused to show, by way of im- peachment, that the declarant “was without an enlightened conscience, or a deep sense of accountability to his Maker.” The defense counsel further claims that in the absence of fear of final retribution, that it cannot be said that solemnity of the: occasion surrounding a dying statement cannot be equivalet of an oath. . A person without belief in God possibly would as soon make an untrue statement on the eve of death as upon any other occasion, the defense contends.
