Owen T. Owen Faces Big Task; in Getting System Into Operation Appointment of four deputy beer | commissioners was announced Mon- day by Owen T. Owen of Grand Forks, newly-appointed beer commis- stoner. The deputies are George Morris, Neche; Allan McManus, Grand Forks; C. C. Snyder, Fargo, and J. E. Bur- ton, Steele, former sheriff there. Beer tax stamps will be prepared and kept for sale by the state beer commissioner, Owen said. Each wholesale dealer must purchase the | stamps and affix them securely to) the caps of all bottles containing beer | in such manner that the lifting of | the cap will break the stamp. If the container is a cask or barrel. the full amount of the stamps must ‘be securely stamped on the top of the container by the wholesaler and can- celled by the retailer when it is open- | ed, Owen explained. “I am going to try very hard,” said Owen, “to get along with six ficid de- puties, although this may be impos- sible, because of the fact that under the law that was passed I have to in- vestigate the moral character of every applicant who wishes to sell beer in | this state. Expect 2,000 from Cities “I expect there will be over 2,000 applicants in cities alone, and it may, therefore, be necessary to put on more men in order to get action, but I am in great hopes of keeping the number down without impairing the efficiency | of the office.

However, I believe that is the inten- tion of the people of this state in Passing this measure. The pro-ration will commence from the 23rd day of October—today. “In assuming this office, I ask for the help of the people of this state. Since North Dakota was admitted to the union, it has been a dry state. Therefore, in inaugurating the sale of beer, one can readily perceive the tre- mendous difficulties of the job, and I just want the people of this state to know that I will do the very best I Possibly can to carry out the will of the people as expressed in the vote, and to see that the law is enforced’ and that everybody is treated cqually before the law." Littered With Applications Owen's desk is littered with applica- tions for beer licenses, requests for information and jobs. but came so closely on the heels of Owen's appointment that the commis- sioner scarcely has had time to get settled in his new work. He is working at top speed to or- ganize his office and to get applica- tions for licenses filled. State licenses must be obtained be- fore beer can be sold legally. Owen is working out plans for the type of tax stamp to be used to carry out provisions of the law imposing a tax of one-half cent on each pint of the 3.2 beverage. Municipalities have drawn ordin- ances, which also must be complied with to make the sale of beer legal. Applications for city licenses were | being received at the city auditor's office Monday. City Auditor Myron H. Atkinson said all applications for municipal permits are-expected to be filed not later than Wednesday night. Two Are Dead From Monoxide Poisoning Kindred, N.

BANK AT BRAINERD MINNESOTA ROBBED BY BANDIT QUINTET | i Desperadoes Armed With Ma-| chine Guns Subdue 14, Escape With $32,000 Brainerd, Minn. Oct. 23.—(P)— Raiding the First National Bank in the heart of this city of 10,000 popu-| lation, five machine gun bandits over- | powered 14 persons, shot up the in- side and outside of the bank and ad-| joining byildings and fled with at! seast $32,000 in cash Monday. None of the patrons and employes imprisoned in the bank was hurt but at least four pedestrians were in the line of fire while machine gun bul- lets spattered against buildings and perforated automobiles as the des- Peradoes roared out of town with all their weapons spitting fire. Using at least three machine guns and automatic pistols, the bandits fired a withering blast as they de- parted, shattering the huge front windows of the bank and spraying | the interior of the bank with lead. | Arrive at Daylight Coming into town about daylight, the raiders went directly to the bank, trapped the janitor and bank guard as they came to work and took up! their positions inside and outside the bank which they held for almost three hours. Three of the bandits donned masks; after they got inside and ascertain- ing that the time lock protecting the vault safe which contained the bulk of the cash, was sct for 8:45 a. m., took into custody employes ‘and of- ficers one by one, as they reported for work.
