Kennelly, Morton county coroner revealed Thursday. Posey, whose body was found Wed- nesday near the Heart river south- ‘west of Judson, apparently was walk- ing homeward through the blinding snow-storm of last week along a trail on the edge of a steep bank near the river, according to Kennelly, when he stepped over the edge and fell 30 feet to the ground below. He suf- fered a fractured skull, which with the exposure caused death, Kennelly stated. No inquest will be held, Coroner Kennelly said. The body was to be taken to Jamestown Thursday by relatives. Posey had been visiting at the A. A. ‘Welsh farm near Judson during the blizzard of last. Wednesday. Shortly before 5 o'clock he departed for his home. ‘Two days later his car was found unoccupied about two miles from his farm house, located about six miles west of the Welsh farm. A ‘was conducted about four days ago, but authorities only learned of his disappearance Wednesday. Although Posey had owned the plot of land on which he was living for 10 or 12 years, this is the first winter that he had spent on his farm. Posey came to Judson about a year ago from ‘Minneapolis where he was employed by the Exide battery company. Posey was born in Jamestown, N. D. where he reccived his education and Jater moved to Minneapolis. He was married a number of years #go and later separated from his wife. He leaves a daughter, June, 7; three sisters, Mrs. William Grove, James- town; Mrs. Withnell, who is visiting in Texas; Mrs. Margaret Clark, wife of Dr. Horace Clark, pioneer of Mor- ton county; two brothers, George and John, both of Minneapolis; a nephew, David Withnell, Mandan; ‘and Mrs. Grace Rose and Mrs. Omer West, Mandan, who are cousins. Authorize $80,000 Of Refunding Bonds Passing a resolution providing for the issuance of $80,000 of refunding bonds to pay for new additions to the Mandan waterworks system, the Mandan city commission voted Wed- nesday night to allow Wells Dickey, Minneapolis banking firm, to handle the bonds, according to W. H. Seitz, Mandan city auditor. The old bonds will fall due May 8 but because of the failure of the city to obtain funds deposited in one of vhe Mandan banking houses prior to its closing, the commission is forced to issue new refunding bonds, Seitz said. The commission also authorized that bids for the refunding bonds be opened April 18 in the city auditor's office, according to Seitz. The Mandan commission concluded | their meeting Wednesday night by allowing several small bills.

These Indians, members of the Arickarces, Gros Ventres and Mandan tribes, last year won a suit against the government in | the United States court of ciaims. The court heid the government must pay the Indians a total of | $2,169,168, less attorney's fees, which it fixed at $157,000. | Congress, near the end of last | session, passed an act providing | for payment of the amount in | two installments, the first of $200 | a head to be given as soon as the tribal rolls were approved, the © balance to be disbursed later. The Indian office started com- pilation of the rolls right after the court decision in December. 1,446 Indians at Fort Berthold Will Get $200 Each From U. S. Immediately Of the beneficiaries, 1,000 are classed as restricted Indians and the money coming to them will be placed to their credit at the agency, while 356 are competent and will be given their money outright. Commissoner Rhoads ordered special agents of the Indian serv- ice to the reservation to assi:t the restricted Indians in finding suit- able ways of investing their money. He is hopeful, he said that they may be persuaded to improve their homes or pther wise invest the funds safely. The claim won by the Indians was for land taken from them 60 years ago by the government. The court of claims found that land given the tribes under the Lar- amie treaty of 1651 later had been turned over to the Northern Pacific railroad and settlers. The territory in question was along the Heart and Little Missouri rivers, tor of athletics at the Mandan high| school, left Thursday morning for Grand Forks to attend the annual meeting of high school teachers.
