Mc- Tiwain of Richland county continued the pursuit trough southern Min- nesota. ‘The quintet was last seen at Tin- tah, Minn., 35 miles ‘southeast of Wahpeton where they abandoned their bullet-pierced car and stole a coach from Ed Lindberg, farmer. ‘Two women, used as human shields by the bandits in their mad dash through bullet bristling Wahpeton street, were recovering in a Wahpe- ton hospital. Miss Doris Stock, 20, a customer during the holdup, is most seriously injured. She suffer- ed a fractured leg and wounds about the face and shoulder when posse- men fired at the fleeing car. She and Miss Ruth Whipps, teller at the bank, were forced by bandits to stand on the running boards of the» machine. Miss Whipps was wounded about the shoulders and face. Both are suffering from shock. 8. H, Murray, cashier of the bank, was slugged by @ bandit when he turned in the burglar alarm. He was not seriously hurt.

J. J. Montgomery, veteran mem- ber of the Nonpartisan League and friend of Lynn J.

Erick- son, Tappen, for the senatorship. ination in June with united Non- partisan support and the Democrats indorsed his candidacy on the ground that he was a Progressive. In August, however, Erickson was named chairman of the Republican state central committee, controlled by the Nonpartisans, and subsequent- ly issued a statement calling on Non- partisans and others to support the !candidacy of Herbert Hoover for president. The result was political chaos in the 35th district, composed of Kid- der and Sheridan counties. Cries of | “sell-out” and even stronger terms | culminated Friday in the designation , of Montgomery to run against Erick- son on stickers, At the same time the Kidder coun- ty Democratic -entral committee, composed almost exclusively of for- mer Nonpartisans, gave a statewide touch to their action by calling up- on “the people of North Dakota to take steps toward defeating any can- didate who was a party to the Erick- } son esse to Hoover.” p at Langer This oe saamitted to be a direct slap at the gubernatorial Petes (of William Langer, Republican ni inee, since it was Langer’s insistence ‘amd support which won for Erickson , the Republican chairmanship, Hl The Erickson statement supporting Hoover wag issued from Bismarck ‘and first was published under a Bis- ;marck dateline in the Fargo Forum.| , It is the contention of Kidder coun- ity Nonpartisans that it was written ‘in Langer’s office here and was cen- sored and approved by Langer be- ; fore it was made public.

His long-time ‘connection with the Nonpartisan League and his prominence in the district make him a formidable can- didate despite the handicap of run- ning on stickers, they say. He was a member of the state council of de- fense, appointed by Governor Fraz- ier during the war and was the first president of the North Dakota Farm- ers Union, holding that position in 1915. At present he is a county com- missioner in Kidder county.

Frank E. White, a member of the auditing firm of Arthur Anderson and Company, appearing as a witness before Federal Judge Walter C. Lind- ley in the search for assets of the $250,000,000 bankrupt concern, said his calculation indicated the inflation {was made by charging to income items which he believed should have been charged to capital. His testi- mony, given Friday, was disputed, |however, by John E, Wing, member of a law firm which approved some of the company’s securities. White's testimony came after Har-) Halsey, Stuart & Company, and an associate of Saumel Insull, has told cern was virtually bankrupt last De- cember when he and Samuel Insull, jar. went to New York to seek the aid of eastern bankers.

The Chicago Tribune Saturday said State's Attorney John A. Swanson was making plans for the return to Chicago of Samuel Insull, Sr., and his brother, Martin. The former is in Paris and the latter in Orillia, Ont. The report followed a statement by the state's attorney that he had found that Samuel Insull had “sanctioned and authorized” the use of funds of jInsull Utilities companies to protect some of the personal brokerage ac- counts of his brother.
