E, McCurdy, his attorney. Although held under $1,000 bond on, @ charge of assault with a deadly ‘weapon, no action has been taken by Officials to press the charge. A hearing scheduled for last Tuesday was postponed pending Martin’s recovery and further developments in the case. Indications are that the Prosecution may be dropped in view of Marbeck’s protestations that the shooting was accidental; the fact the panel in the closed door and about, 100 feet and struck Mr. Martin, who was digging potatoes in his own gar- den, In Marbeck’s excitement he undertook to see if there were any more shells in the magasine in the gun and repeated it fgain and the ‘same thing happened and the second shot was also went through the cl “Marbeck, of course, was quite ex- cited and examined the gun to find out whether there were any more, shells in the magazine.

Marbeck didn’t consider Millius or anybody else had any right taking his gun and protested against Millius taking the gun, but Millius insisted very vigorously and so, rather than have |any trouble, Marbeck permitted Mil- lius to take the gun. Millius took: the gun and went out of Marbeck’s house. People who were quickly THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1931 one who may become involved in the news of the day.

Text of Statement day ‘evening. Parker accompanied’ Grocery Specials Insull on his trip into South Dakota and Iowa. Brother of Samuel Martin J. Insull is a brother of Samuel Insull, who is chairman of the board of directors of the Middle ‘West Utilities company, whieh con- trols numerous utilities throughout the midwest and northwest. Stopping in St. Paul Wednesday on his way to Bismarck, Insull told members of the Twin Cities Bond club that there is no such thing as @ power trust and never can be in an industry in which the rates and prices are subject to public regula- tion. Citing figures on the rapid increase in erube of electric power and the continuous decline of the cost, Insull asserted that the power industry's: accomplishments are @ refutation of the charges against it voiced by Gov- ernor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsyl- vania, and Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York. Cites Commission Probe “The term ‘power trust’ is used by these critics despite the fact that the federal trade commission’s investiga- tion showed that there is no ‘power trust’,” Insull said in his St: Paul talk. “Naturally there can be no trust in an industry whose prices are subject to public regulation. There have been consolidations, of course. It is these cOnsolidations which have caused constantly improving service, continuously reducing ratés in thou- sands of communities. We could not have had in this country today the outstanding service of the world without consolidations and mergers. “The fundamental economics of power generation and distribution are such that mergers and consolidations, or at least interconnections of con- tiguous sections, are to the best in- terests of the public as a whole, both as to service and rates. He traced the connection of many of the cfieyel of sme industry gar an organization “whose purpose the abolition’of private ownership and initiative in industry.” 102 SIGN BURLEIGH TRACHER CONTRACTS ‘About 15 More Are Expected To Be Engaged For Teaching In Rural Schools Instructors already secured to teach 4n Burleigh county's rural xno total 102, it was announce / re aang at the office of Marie Huber, county superintendent of schools.

Phone 784 | 819-3ed Street Bismarck N. Dak. We Telegraph Flowers The statement issued orl‘ Marbeck’s behalf follows: “The stories carried by The Tribune for September 2, and September 3 are erroneous both in statements and inferences in connection with the unfortunate occurrence which result- ed in the injuries to John Martin. What actually took place is as fol- lows: Marbeck owns a pump gun of a cheap make, not a standard make. It is so constructed that the jttigger can be pulled or the gun can be discharged at any stage of the it a rather dangerous gun. “Marbeck had been drinking in his own home and had drank more than he should have and was clumsy, but jSince the hunting season was near at hand, he took it into his head he would oil and clean his gun, which had not been used since last hunt- ing season. * : “He took the gun and sat down with it, on a chair in the kitchen and started to clean it and worked the repeating mechanism and as he did so the gun was accidently discharged while lying across his kiwes. The gun was pointed towards the closed door of the kitchen. The shot was operation of the mechanism, ‘making | 04 ing, but he had done the shooting |and had done it accidentally. Filled With Regret “No one regrets this unfortunate oc- currence half as much as Marbeck,, who is taking care of Martin's hospi- tal expenses and is doing everything he possibly can to help Martin now. Undoubtedly this would not have happened had not Marbeck been drinking and was clumsy as a result of the effect of the liquor. It is ab- solutely untrue that Marbeck made the statement that he thought some- ly was after him or anything of that kind. It is also absolutely un- true that he stood up and fired the shots and ran amuck and had the gun loaded with buck shot. The facts are as above stated. “Martin and Marbeck have always been and still are the best of friends.” Editor's Note—Statements made by The Tribune in its ac- count of the matter were based on information furnished by po- lice and prosecution officials who investigated the case. The Tribune is glad to present the statement in Marbeck's be- half in line with its established not buck shot but number 6, bird Policy of fairness to all persons ... after all she knows that nothing cleans like ITCHEN INZER TWO STORES . 710 Thayer—Phone 279 i RSH ay $ S$ pies ‘TWO rau?
