Eliason had been a resident of Burleigh county for 43 years. Though Burleigh county authori- ties found no marks of violence on his body or no circumstances in Elia- son’s home which might indicate he had met death by foul means, the bachelor’s watch and pocketbook were missing and no food was found in his house. Carl Eliason, Bismarck, a brother of the dead man, said Gustaf Elia- son was accustomed to sleep in his heavy underwear.

D., Nov. 16.—(?)}—| Henry Loewen, 28, amateur filer of Devils Lake, was killed when an air- plane he was piloting crashed Sun- day night on Graham's island, about 12 miles west of here. He was alone in the plane. The plane, owned by Dr. N. E. Nageli, Grafton, and being flown to Fargo by him, was forced down on the island last Thursday and had been stranded in a cow pasture until Sunday when Loewen and Lawrence Jolle, local parachute jumper, after repairing the ship, were to return it to the Devils Lake airport. They had obtained parts for the ship and after repairing it tried to) take off about 5:15 p.m. Due to soft and. rough ground they could not get the ship into the air, Jolle said. Loewen then tried to take off alone. He raised the ship to a height of be- tween 300 and 400 feet and had circled the island. As he was turn- ing the plane, to head eastward to- ward Devils Lake, one side dipped and he apparently lost control, the ship going into a nose dive. It made three complete circles and then dove into the ground, the motor buried in the mire, Jolle said. Loewen suffered a crushed skull and numerous broken bones from the impact. A doctor was summoned from Min- newaukan. He pronounced death in- staneous. The body was brought here. Dr. Nageli, owner, who formerly) lived in Rugby but now is of Graf- ton, had flown the ship to Rugby on Armistice day and last Thursday was taking it to Fargo to be sold. He was forced down near Minnewaukan and after examining the plane with the aid of mechanics had ordered the necessary parts. He then left for Fargo by train. Since the plane had been forced down in a pasture, local pilots here repaired the engine and were coming to bring it to Devils Lake as an accommodation to the owner, it was said. Loewen was a licensed pilot and owned a plane himself. He had livea in Devils Lake the last six years where he was employed by an oil ised He had been flying since eyed” car.

The rack on the truck caught the windshield of the car Farrell was driving. Askew, Wieg and Peter Huffelman, farmer north of Sheldon who was riding with Wieg, escaped with minor, injuires. Both machines were badly, damaged. Funeral services will be held in Casselton Tuesday. The Schnell lad did not regain consciousness and lived only a few/ minutes after the crash. He was the son of Harry Schnell, prominent farmer residing in Canada north of here. The truck was one being used in the; hauling of the federal building being erected about a mile north of the ac- cident scene.

Johnson seek the Republi-| can presidential nomination against Herbert Hoover? | He will be asked to, when he gets) here this week or next, by some of the western Independents in congress who are down on a number of the major policies of the present chief executive. The party leaders are hopeful he will clear up his intended part in the 1932 race. Senator Brookhart of Towa is a chief mover in a boom for his Call-) forine colleague: He has asserted not only Independents but “many of the} regulars” would join him if Johnson, placed his hat in the ring. The question was prompted by Sen- ator Johnson himself when he recent- ly attacked the Hoover administration | upon its relations with the League of; Nations in the dispute between China! and Japan. He called for a ballot box repudiation of the Hoover policy. ‘Then the former Chicago mayor, William Hale Thompson, wrote Brookhart that while he had no au- thority to launch a presidential boom for Johnson he would be glad to con- fer with the Californian on the sub- Ject. “Tam primarily interested,” he worte, “in preserving the Republican LOOT OF $10,000 TAKENBY BANDITS IN WALSH COUNTY Gunmen Force Workers and Customers of Park River Bank Into Vault Park River, N. D., Nov. 16—(P)— Four men robbed the First National bank of Park River at 1:15 p.m. Monday and apparently made their escape. The men made their escape in a dark Chevrolet automobile with red wheels. The quartet was believed heading east. Two of the robbers entered the bank and, brandishing guns, ordered six employes into the rear room. While the pair rifled the drawer at the cashier's window, four Park River residents entered. At the point of guns the quartet, Will McBachers, |axel Larson, Hans Larson and Harold Sunderland, were herded into the room with the bank workers. They were warned to lie on the floor and keep quiet. ‘Two other men stood guard outside with the car’s motor running. As they prepared to leave, the ban- dits forced the eight persons into the vault, locked the door and raced to their car. They are believed to have headed east toward Grafton. ‘The bank workers were released within 10 minutes and posses took all roads out of the city in pursuit of the men, In the bank at the time of the rob- bery were C.

M. G. Folsom, Bismarck, was one of the first if not the first North Dakota hunter to bag a deer as the first open season in this state in 10 years began Mon- day morning. At 8:10 a. m. Folsom sent a bul- Jet from a .30-calibre rifle through the head of a buck large enough to be a “heavy lift for two men.” It was the first shot. The deer had a four-point ant- ler with a spread of about 15 inches. Folsom bagged his deer in the Missouri River bottoms about one mile north of Huff, in southern Morton county. In his party were Walter Prachel and Kenneth Pe- terson, both of Bismarck, who planned to return to the bottoms Monday afternoon in quest of more big game. “Those antlers are going right party and the principles laid down by Abraham Lincoln and I am sure that this can not be done through the re- nomination of President Hoover.” up on our mantel for good and we are going to eat vension for some time,” Folsom said Monday short- ly after he brought down the buck. laws through some sort of gift tax. Bismarck Man First to Shoot Deer; Flasher Youth Is Wounded in Woods He said they sighted more than a dozen deer during the forenoon and estimated that they met at least 75 hunters in the region. Fifty-six licenses for hunting deer had been issued in the office of A. C. Isaminger, Burleigh coun- ty auditor, at noon Monday. Most of the licenses were issued late Friday and Saturday, only 13 having been purchased at noon Friday, The season will continue through next Friday. Vincent, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bentleon, Flasher, was the first casualty reported following opening of the deer season. A shot fired by the boy’s father ricocheted and struck the upper part of his right leg. He was taken to his home at Flash- er. A few minutes previous to the accident Vincent had brought down a good-sized buck. He was the only member of the par- ty to get a deer.

Eliason usually locked his house at night and in the day time, his brother said. The house was un- locked when his body was found. Two of Eliason’s nephews, Don- ald Eliason and Robert Eliason, liv- ing six miles southwest of Baldwin, found the body shortly after 1 o’- clock. In Baldwin late the previous night, the two nephews had knocked at their uncle’s door, but, getting no response, had left, believing that Eliason was asleep. Possibility that the man. had be- come ill or had died late in Septem- ber was expressed by Perry Monday morning. A newspaper dated Sept. 19, was found in his home while the next edition of the same news- paper, addressed to him, was found in the postoffice. ‘as Born in Sweden Gustaf Eliason was born April 17, 1871, in Goteborg, Sweden. He came to the United States with his mother, brothers, and sister, reaching Bis- marck Sept. 9, 1888. Since that time he had lived in Burleigh county. He became a farmer in Crofte township, where he remained until 1902, when he moved to Baldwin. Since that time he had worked for varios farmers in the Baldwin dis- ict. He leaves two brothers, Carl, in Bismarck, and John, a farmer south- west of Baldwin, a sister, Mrs. El- len Christenson, Bismarck, and sev- eral nephews and nieces. Though definite funeral arrange- ments have not been made, last rites will be conducted from the Presby- terian church at Baldwin, probably Wednesday. Rev. Emil Benzon, pas- tor of the First Lutheran church, iscal | Bismarck, will officiate, and burial will be made in the Baldwin ceme- tery. WAY'S OF REDUCING TAXES DISCUSSED Group Is That State Make Indirect Levies Methods by which the tax burden in the state may be alleviated were dis- cussed at a meeting Saturday of the executive committee of the North Da- kota Taxpayers’ association. A suggestion that state and county levies be raised by indirect taxation was discussed. Disclosing that the state now Fre- ceives approximately eleven per cent of local taxes and the county 24 per cent, committee members declared this method always has caused con- flict between officers of the state and county on one hand and officers of local units on the other as to respon- sibility for the continued increase of taxes. A plan for indirect taxation as em- the state in administration of the cigaret and snuff law was suggested, leaving direct taxes on land and per- organizations.

His job would be to untangle “‘a bewildering sense of unnecessary complexity” which the committee found in the government's educational activities. The new secretary would be bound by law, however, to keep hands off state educational processes and to work for decentralization of control. “The development of administra- tive power by the federal government in highly specialized fields of educa- tion,” the report said, “presents a threat that cannot longer be ignored. “Unless there is an early reversal of policy, further federal participation in highly specialized s of educa- tion within the states will involve us in a form of incoordinated centraliza- tion with evils far greater than those which characterize some of the Eur- opean governments.

The committee was not quite so united in approving the suggestion for a secretary of education in the government. The vote was 3 to 11, with two not voting.

The letter sug- gested that Freda could come and work at his mother’s rooming house and “have a real good time.” On Nov. 6, at 2:30 p. m., there was mailed in Dallas, Tex., a letter to the girl’s father. The letter was in Freda’s handwriting and stated that she was married and had a number of new silk dresses; that she was very hap- py; that her husband was very kind to her; that he could sing and play; that he did not have to work be- cause he had plenty of money, and that he was going to get work after a while and they would settle down in some little town in Texas. Called. Him ‘Englishman’ She described her husband as “tall, slender, with dark hair and blue eyes” and said he was an “Englishman.” The girl's brothers say that in her family, where all speak German, they generally refer to a person who does not speak German as an Englishman, In her letter Freda said she was going to be a mother. Crum has communicated with po- lice officials in both ‘Bloomfield and Texas and they have instituted searches for the couple. The Bloom- field chief of police informed Crum that he knew of no such rooming house as described in the letter Freda’s sister found, but that he would conduct an investigation. Freda was in the seventh grade and attended one of the rural schools near her father’s farm. A charge of kidnaping against the man has been sworn out by Mr. and Mrs. Friesz. Freda has several broth- ers and sisters. Acquaintance Was Short Crum believes the girl had but a short acquaintance with the man, probably only by letter, before she left with him, since the stranger had not been in the New Leipzig district much before. It is remotely possible that she met him last fall when he was in the New Leipzig district for @ few days. Freda is described as a quiet, in- dustrious, hard-working girl who ap- parently was happy at home. She is five feet, three inches tall, weighs 106 pounds, has brown hair, blue eyes, and speaks German. When she left she was dressed in a blue overcoat, white stockings, black shoes, pini dress, and a white tam hat. From the descriptions in the let- ters and from persons who saw hini the man is about 34 years old, ha- dark hair and blue eyes, is slightly above medium height and slender and wore a brown suit. Authorities at Mott made an in- vestigation a year ago when he is reported to have attempted an ab- duction there, but failed to learn the man’s name, what his business was, or where he resided while there. Any persons having any informa tion on the case are requested to communicate with Crum at Carson, the Grant county seat. TWO DIE IN ACCIDENT Fargo, N.
