The estate—that of George W. Goodman—who died more than 20 years ago—will escheat to the state within a short time, under laws of North Dakota, records in the state treasurer's office reveal. For more than two decades, a steady search for the heirs of Goodman has been going forward but none has been discovered. Goodman's estate has grown dur- fing the passing years, the wealth in- creasing through rental of land left by him at his death. of estates left by persons without known heirs, the Goodman estate is one of many held “in trust” by the state treasurer. Many of the estates comprise only ® few hundred dollars, with few reaching the $1,000 mark. Few Are Above $1,000 Despite the relatively few estates of more than $1,000, the state treas- urer’s office constantly is receiving letters from many parts of the world, from relatives seeking lost kin; from attorneys seeking to profit by hand- ling of the estate; from other attor- neys representing clients who have been told of @ “rich estate in North Dakota.” From London, England, not long ‘go, came a letter from a solicitor, explaining he represented a group of clients, all poor, who had been in- formed by an American lawyer they “were heirs to an estate in North Da- kota “totaling £1,500, or about $7,425.” The English attorney explained the American lawyer had informed his clients he would represent them and collect the estate “for half the amount recovered.” Close investigation by the treasur- er’s office revealed no such estate. Genealogist Asks Help One eastern woman, a “registered »” asked the state treas- urer to trace the family tree of one North Dakota group. The request ‘was ignored. Out of the files came a curious story of a runaway adopted boy. The youngster, from a Fargo chil- dren’s home, became heir to $300 left From the home at Fargo, came a letter, explaining the boy had run away from his foster- parents’ home in California two years ago, They anticipated he would ap- pear at the state treasurer's office seeking the money and asked he be held. ‘The boy never appeared, but a short time ago, or two years after he dis- appeared, a letter arrived from a Los Angeles attorney, eras the foster parents, exp! 6 now 18, desired the funds.

D., June 10.—()—Term- ly hit and miss system,” Matt Crow- ley, prominent farmer and _ stock- man, living near Hebron, has a farm program of his own. The only way the farmer will ever accomplish cost of production plus a reasonable profit will be through his own efforts, by organizing in @ “sane and business-like manner,” and by holding production down to where it will not exceed the demand, he be- lieves. Crowley, widely known as a pioneer! cattleman, has made a success of farming and pays taxes on nearly. 7,000 acres of land in North Dakota. His ranch supports about 1,000 head @ cattle, and he also has many thoroughbred horses. “When the farmers had the world clamoring for their products it was natural for every farmer to produce all he could of the commodity he is MATT CROWLEY ON COURT CALENDAR Civil Matters to Get Attention of High Tribunal During June Term Only one criminal case will be heard on the state supreme court calendar for June, it was announced londay by J.

Butte, Mont., June 10.—(?)—But for a bulldog, William Mahan, 32- year-old suspect in the George Weyerhaeuser kidnaping case, might have been in custody Mon- day along with two others held at Salt Lake City. The man who, spotted Mahan here Sunday—J. E. Mooney, the boxing detective—growled things Monday about the dog which pre- vented him from capturing the Suspect. But between times he smiled at compliments he receiv- ed for flushing the man from whose motor car $15,155 of the ‘Weyerhaeuser ransom money was recovered and declared he would finish the job of tracking down the fugitive because his wife and three children could use the money. While the one-time crack light- weight of the A. E. F. related just how he came upon Mahan at a street corner, police and federal agents sent a special broadcast throughout Montana, Idaho, east- ern Washington and northern ‘Wyoming for both Mahan and a vaguely described companion. Authorities theorized Mahan might have been accompanied from Salt Lake City by another member of the gang which ab- ducted nine-year-old George ‘Weyerhaeuser, Tacoma, Wash., timber heir. The police wanted to know more, too, about a driver's license found in Mahan’s machine. It was issued to a resident of Salt Lake City, where Harmon M. ONE CRIMINAL CASE (Montana ‘Cop’ Growls at Dog Which Halted Kidnaper Chase Waley and wife were arrested and assertedly implicated Mahan in the kidnaping. . Mooney was driving his part- ner, Detective Frank J. Roe, home from night duty when he became suspicious of a parked “mouse- gray” sedan with Utah plates. Near the car Mooney recognized with one glance a man he had arrested nearly seven years ago for a Rathdrum, Idaho, bank rob- bery. It_was the distinctively scar- red Mahan wearing a panama, a blue suit and brown gloves. Mahan saw Mooney and ran. Racing across the street, still clutching his gloves, the fugitive hurdled a back fence and sped past a bulldog. The dog leaped into action and blocked Mooney’s path. Mahan hurdled to temporary safety across @ second fence. Mooney and Roe took the sedan to headquarters. There investi- gators found the currency cache. Here is the official description of Mahan, taken from police files: William Mahan, alias Bill Mohan, ‘William Morell, William Dainard, or William Morrell, Age 32, height 5 ft. 10% in., 156% pounds, regular build, black hair, brown eyes, medium light complexion. He also has scars on his left cheek, burn scars on the inner sides of his left and right arms, @ small cut scar on his left mid- dle finger and another on his right finger.

Wall Recesses May Be Put to Good Use In thousands of homes in the United States there are wall recesses formed as a result of installing fire- places. This is especially true when the fireplace is placed other than in @ corner of a room. The average fireplace is installed near the center extends into the room from several inches to over a foot. Recesses therefore occur between the sides of the fireplace and the nearby side walls. These are ideal places to in- Stall built-in bookcases. When windows are in the recesses then the space below each window and extending across all or part of the recess may be used for a low seat with storage chests underneath. Profitable use of recessed wall ‘space may be obtained by installing built-in equipment through moderni- zation credit available under the pro- visions of the National Housing Act.

D,, June 10.—(?)— medalist and tournament champion STATE BOND FUNDS sts: suse, in an annual golf tournament of the Cash Balance Is Near Record) Underwood club which attracted ap- High as Result of Govern- ment Refinancing Millions of dollars pouring into the State treasury in the past year have brought the state real estate bond payment fund to one of the highest levels in its history—$11,451,943. The cash balance has been exceeded only once before—less than a year ago, when the total exceeded $14,000,- 000. Since that time, the amount was pared by payment of approximately $5,000,000 in bonds shortly after the first of this year. Since January 1, approximately $2,- 500,000 has been received by the state treasurer’s office for crediting to the bond payment fund, John Gray, state treasurer, said. Gray attributed the increase in the bond payment fund cash balance principally to the federal refinancing Program in the state which has en- abled farmers to meet tax payments on lands. The balance on hand, as of May 31 of this year, exceeds by nearly $8,- 000,000 the balance in the fund at the same time in 1934, when the total was but $3,889,263. Still outstanding against the state are $32,411,700 in real estate bonds, Gray said. In addition to retirement of $5,- 000,000 in bonds, the state paid off $925,000 in certificates of indebted- ness, issued to make up a deficit in the bond real estate interest fund. These certificates were paid in Nov- ember, In the bond interest fund, as of May 31, was a cash balance of $550,- 067, as compared with $645,656 in the fund a year ago. Gray pointed out the interest pay- ment fund was lower because of the retirement of certificates of indebted- ness and explained that as a result | of the retirement of bonds less inter- est would have to be paid by the state in the future. With the two bond funds in “good condition,” the state's general fund balance stood at $1,160,662, he said. Meats of the brazil nut can be used as candles. proximately 60 players from McLean county.

Mel says: “I smoke all I want, yet keep in good condition. Camels are so mild, they never get my wind or bother my nerves.” And Hal adds: “To my mind that settles it! Camel is the cigarette with real mildness. I'd walk a mile for 2 Camel!” @ In baseball, and in all the strenuous sports, leading athletes cite the fact that Camels are mild. And to this impressive evidence of Camel's mildness is added the experience of people in every walk of life who wish to smoke freely and keep fit. gs KEEPING FIT 'S JUST AS a 'MPORTANT To ME AS TO star fF ATHLETES, CAMELS ARE MILD, —NEVER JANGLE | MY NERVES!
