Adjutant General G. A. Fraser and \F. L. Conklin, commis- sion members, said Friday that the design had by no means been de- cided upon. With the necessary technical data available, members of the commission are giving their attention to the matter of design and indications are that the question as to whether the building should be tall or low-lying is‘one of major im} ce. The debris on the capitol ‘site has been removed and has been distrib- uted along the boulevard at the head of Second street. Members of the commission said they had purposely delayed clearing the grounds in order to provide work when it was most needed by residents of the com- munity. ‘With regard to the type of building to be selected, members of the com- mission said they are fortunate in that the character of the site is not an important, factor.

FORMER CASHIER OF. OBERON BANK WILL _ SERVEPRISON TERI President of Bank Dies Soon Af- ter E. 1. Tobler Confesses Embezzlement Rugby, N. D. Jan. 15—(@)—E. I. Tobler, former assistant cashier of the Bank of Oberon, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling approxi- mately $9,000 from the bank and was sentenced to a two-to five-year term in the state penitentiary by Judge G. rman in district court late Thurs- 'y. Tobler broke down when sentence ages and the fact that he was able to falsify the banks records over a period of about two years to the fact that the cashier of the bank did not close- ly supervise the books. Held in custody here until the ar- : rival of the tation officer, Tobler said the strain of the “whole Announcement of an agreement be-| tween officers of the American Legion and Bismarck high school officials; whereby the basketball game to be; Played here Jan. 29 between Bismarck | and Jamestown will be a charity af-| fair was made Friday by George!

Although public support; for that venture proved the best in the veterans were forced to draw heavily on. the funds of their organ- ization before the campaign closed. Dr. W. E.

McDonald obtained the first confession from Tobler with the aid of Charles Schaffner, president of the now closed Bank of Oberon, who cooperated with authorities in apprehending Tobler. Tobler was apprehended at Los An- geles, Calif., about two weeks ago when Benson county authorities trail- ed Mrs. Tobler to Los Angeles. Charles Schaffner, president of the bank which closed following the em- bezzlement by Tobler, died at Oberon Friday morning from heart disease. Worry over the closing of the bank and the personal loss of considerab:e jmoney in the bank was believed to have hastened his death. In poor, health the last ten years, Schaffuer had spent much time in aiding and cooperating with authorities here in the apprehension of Tobler. He helped to get Tobler’s confession.
