The mining industry in North Dakota, he added, is confined entirely to the min- ing of lignite coal. ! The mining industry experienced four fatal and 227 non-fatal accidents, Rupp reported. The number of non- fatal accidents increased from 190 last year to 227 this year, he said. i} Two Fires Reported | ‘Two mine fires were reported to the department during the period Nov. 1, 1931, to Oct. 31, 1932. Both were caused by spontaneous combustion, he said. The first started at Stanton in the John Teuber mine in a slack pile about 100 feet from the bottom of the shaft. caved room of the Bain sub-bitu- minous mine at Haynes. “Generally speaking the under- Ground mines are in the best con tion in their history from the stand- Point of sanitation, safety and venti- lation,” Rupp said. | | Soviet Exiles 45,000 Farmers A Li I THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1988 KEEP MINDS OPEN ON CAPITOL PROBE Senator Bangert Attacks George Bangs For Giving M ges to Press A plea to the citizens of North Da- kota to keep their minds open on the capitol building committee investiga- tion until it is completed and all the bed disclosed was voiced i a te address Wednesday evening by Charles G. Bangert, Enderlin, state senator from Ransom county. The resolution authorizing the in- vestigation provides that the com- mittee conduct the probe in such a manner that all the findings and conclusions “will be available to everyone interested,” Senator Ban- gert said.

He knew, or should have known, that those constitutional rights are granted to a defendant in a criminal prosecution in the courts of his state. Certainly he knew when preparing the message of Jan. 24 and releasing it to the press, that this investigation is not a criminal pros- ecution in the courts of this state against him nor anyone else and it is merely a preliminary investigation for the purpose of determining whether or not prosecutions ought to be instituted.” Witnesses Are Sworn The commission chairman also stop a bullet with his chest and suf- fer only a slight bruise must have a Temarkable front. The other night Jasper McColum, 35-year-old Negro, was struck in the chest by a bullet which Policeman E. E. Norris had fired at a fleeing burglar. The bullet traveled about 50 feet and then de- flected and struck McCollum, pierc- ing his overcoat, suitcoat, vest, shirt and underclothes. It came to rest with its nose against McCollum’s chest, leaving only a slight bruise. MR.

CHINA PEIPING, One of modern history’s great aramas is being enacted in Russia, where 45,000 inhabitants of three communities in the near-tropical Kuban area are being banished to near-Arctic Siberia. Soviet of- ficials are carrying out the mass deportation as a disciplinary ex- ample, the Kuban inhabitants having failed to cooperate in the Soviets’ collective farm plan. Men, women and children are being transported to lumber camps and mines in Siberia, while their lands are being allotted to “deserving” soldic:s, veterans and “model farmers.” One such “model farmer” is pictured above as he ‘was presented a banner and a bonus for raising more cotton on his collectivized farm than his neighbors, The map shows the route of the wholesale banishment of Kuban’s 45,000 recalcitrant peasants, mcrae sce GOVERNOR'S OFFICE IS SCENE OF RIOT © In the 20 counties listed in 8 sum- Disturbance Occurs After Iili- mary of mines, Ward, with 41, rank- ed first in number of mines operating.
