The water also hhas gone over some of the docks con- .structed last year, Mrs. McCulloch said. O. W. Roberts, federal meteorologist, said the river might be expected to rise an additional six inches in the next day or two while the lake level is expected to go up another foot be- fore the flow stops. Heavy snows at the source of the ‘Missouri river and abundant spring rainfall have raised the river six inches above the level at this time last year, Robert said. - The call for cottage sites has been much greater since the lake has re- sumed its former high level, Mrs. Mc- Culloch said. Judge A, M. Christian- son is building a new cottage on the peninsula and other cottages are be- ing planned by Bismarck residents. Already at the lake are the Harry ‘Thompson and E. T. Beatt families of Bismarck and 41 Boy Scouts at- -tending the first period of Camp -Chan Owapl. ‘Two new weils have been dug in the camping grounds and new fireplaces ‘constructed for the convenience of ‘Picknickers and tourists. ] Weather Report | 4 FORECAST , For Bismarck and vicinity: Un- eettled tonight and Thursday, with probably showers, warmer, ih Da- For Nort! kota: Unsettled, showers probable west and north portions tonight and Thursday and southeast er Thursday and west and north portions tonight.

In Resenting Quiz Of His Own Action “Did you say anything to her about not talking over her affairs with any- one?” “I may have.” Conlon then testified that he had called at the office of the state’s at- torney at Dickinson and had told State’s Attorney Theodore Kellogg he thought the payments on Gibson’s policy should be given Mrs. Gibson. “Did you also write a letter to Mrs. Gibson telling her not to say any- thing to anyone?” “ don’t remember saying anything of the kind.” “You wrote her in connection with some other insurance?” “I don’t think I ever wrote her any- Identifies Missive Mackoff then produced a letter which Conlon identified as his, writ- ten to Mrs. Gibson. The letter, as read to the jury, contained a state- ment as follows: “Do not give any one any informa- tion as to your affairs as I am inclin- ed to believe they are prying into your affairs for the benefit of some- one else.” The letter referred to a benevolent society's payment of $500 to Mrs. Gibson as her husband’s ben- eficiary. Conlon explained that “he saw no reason” why his company should not pi}cash the check, used to pay up Mrs. Gibson’s and her daughters’ policies, and “it was none of their business.” Mackoff then questioned Conlon re- garding his previous testimony that he had observed Gibson was ambi- dexterous when the deceased had tak- en a pen in his left hand. It was on an occasion, Conlon said, when he had called at the Gibson home to have Gibson sign an extension of his insurance policy, He recalled it, he said, because he had told Gibson it would be necessary for him to sign the extension with the same hand he formerly had used. Credibility of another of the prin- cipal witnesses for the defense was hammered at by the state Tuesday. ‘Under cross-examination by Mack- off for more than two hours, Mrs. Grace McKenzie, close friend of the defendant, admitted she had pleaded guilty to a charge’ of driving while inkeatested at Dickinson on Dec. 1, Further hammering by the assist- ant prosecutor brought into the evi- Highs aie dence three letters written by the BISMARCK, cldy. . 45 .00| Witness to Mrs, Gibson following the » clear .. 68 44 .00|shooting of the Dickinson mail car- 62 42 .00jrier Dec. 5, 1933. a = fy Letters Read to Jury 62 42 99} Over objections by the defense, 65 45. 09|-Parts of the letters read before the 65 40 .00;Jury were as follows: 62° 44 01) “Don’t worry about me telling any- e 2 00lone any gossip about things or an- a “ - swering any questions, I think it ts 62 40 +00 past Dob to write anything about any- 64 40.00) thing.” “My mother is having a fit to find EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA out what is in your letters.

She said she had. References Concerned Herself “Did she ask you to keep things under cover?” he inquired. “No,” Mrs. McKenzie replied. Mackoff then offered the letters she had written Mrs. Gibson. After defense objections, he asked, “What did you have reference to in saying not to worry about you telling any gossip?” “It was personal matters,” the wit- ness replied. “What did you refer to in ‘gossip about things’?” “I don’t know.” Mrs. McKenzie said there had been “considerable” gossip about her in Dickinson. Under direct examination, McKenzie testified that she had vis- ited the Gibson home “three or four times a week” preceding the shooting. She said about a year before Gib- son's death she had noticed a change in him, He often was moody and depressed, she said, On occasion, she testified, she had noticed him reading a series of religious booklets, Booklets in Evidence The defense offered in evidence booklets, some of the titles of which were: “Who Is God,” “What Is Truth,” “Cause of. Death,” “Here- after,” “Keys to Heaven,” and “Where Are the Dead.” The witness also testified that she had never seen Joseph Donis, alelged paramour of Mrs. Gibson, run and hide when Mr. Gibson came home. At the time of the Gibson inquest, at which she also testified, she said she had never noticed any confiden- tial conversations between Mrs, Gib- son and her daughters or Katherine Donis. In her testimony for the state, the Donis girl charged the de- fendant had told her and the two Gibson girls what to say at the in- quest. Belfield Celebration Belfield, N. D.

June 15, 1935 Editor, Tribune: If I was running for lieutenant governor I would put out a platform much like the following: “As the farmer farms the land to get every dollar he can out of his farm, so would I farm the taxpayer.” To be @ good farmer you must do a good job and raise the kind of crops that will pay the most money so, as an{® officeholder, before election, I would promise to use the most efficient methods to get the money out of the taxpayer. I would put on real estate taxes within the limit-of confiscation so as not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. I would put on per- sonal property taxes so as to enable the farmer to hold down production to the amount that conforms with consumption by taking everything above that amount into the coffers of the state. I would put on taxes on gasoline and liquor to prevent too many joy rides and the resultant damage to cars and the people in | them. Further I would put on income taxes so that anything it escaped the other taxes could mopped up “Imoney to the best advantage of all the people. I would build pools and leave them as monuments to my extravagance. I would pave the streets of the cities, as they have the most votes. I would gravel all the roads and if there are not roads enough I would also spread some gravel on the prairie. I would erect public recreational buildings, put on public boxing exhibitions, free ball games, free soft drinks to all school children: I would create many new offices and hire administrators and ‘appoint all worthy citizens to offices so that they would be honored and get their names on the front pages of the daily newspapers. Further I would hire at good sal- aries all the competent newspaper writers to ballyhoo my administration to keep the people acquainted with all. my good deeds. With the re- mainder of the money I would give Pensions to all persons over 60 to enable them to take care of them- selves and all their dependents, with special sums to take care of vacations and other items not on the regular budget. ‘Then I would promise to put on a dent.
