W. Eubanks Lemmon, 8. D., brought to the surface three fibreboard boxes, all contain- ing it tena records of the Burleigh county emergency relief or- All were in good condition, the water having failed to penetrate the tightly packed papers and there was some speculation as to how the river bottom happened to be the repository for such documents, Investigation by State Administrator EB. A. Willson disclosed.the an- swer. The county offices ran out of filing space and, since the work assign- ments were valueless and were not needed to show where the money went and who got it, it was decided to dispose of them. ‘ How to do so was a question. Normally they would have been burned but the substitution of gas for coal in the only furnace available made that impractical. Finally a bright mind evolved the idea of boxing them up and dumping them in the river. ie Bhd whole thing came to light when the grappling hooks brought up Kes, Willson was a little bit excited when told of the incident but calmed down after he had investigated the salvage and learned what had happened. The records still are at the office of Sheriff Fred Anstrom. The FERA still is pondering how to dispose of them. es ee TIME MELLOWS OLD HOSTILITIES Capt. Fritz Falgren of the University of North Dakota football team and Se of the North Dakota State Bison are both members of igma . Following the recent battle at Grand Forks they attended their annual fraternity banquet. Both were speakers. Said Dobervich: “It was the cleanest football game I ever played in. ‘We wanted to win, but we're glad it was a tie.” Echoed Falgren: “I wanted to be the winning captain, but T’m glad we both can feel satisfied.” Ten years ago such a situation would have been one for Ripley. ene N. D. INSURANCE RANKING Insurance carried by North Dakota men averages $1,435 per person, fig- ‘ures compiled by the Brookings Institute show. The highest average in the nation is found in Delaware—$2,929.: Ne- braska is second with $2,052 and South Carolina third with $2,037. North Dakota's neighbors rank thusly: Minnesota $1,823; South Da- kota $1,427; Montana $1,435. In comparison Evan Berg, mathematics instructor in Williston junior high school, noticed the fixed, unmoving gaze of Genevieve Willard a few weeks ago. “Is something wrong, Genevieve?” he inquired. “I can’t see a thing,” the girl replied. She had been stricken totally blind. Placed under an opthomologist’s care at Minot, Genevieve has partially regained ‘the sight in one eye, may never see again with the other. The cause is unexplained. ene TAKING TIME OFF North Dakota occupies a hybrid position on the time Convenience was the sole objective of the standard by the railroads in 1883. Thus is explained why some communities of ern North Dakota are an hour off sun time. The difference between central | ft time and mountain time was set along the Missouri river instead of the 105th degree of longitude which passes approximately through Gle! Mont. The United States supreme court in 1926 upheld the right of conveni- ence when it ruled that local time changes did not’ violate federal rights. How convenience has altered the mathematical standards of time is obvious in the wide variations of the accepted time zone boundaries throughout the world. Standard time is measured from the zero meridian at Greenwich observ- atory, London. It takes the sun an hour to pass over 15 degrees of the earth’s surface. Thus every: fifteenth meridian becomes the basis for an hour's change. ‘The meridian zones le 7% degrees on either side of -these north-south lines. But accepted zone boundaries zigzag so much for the sake of time tables and regional interests that western North Dakota is an hour off the sun’s time as are many other areas of the world, ‘This occurs when the central zone (based on the 90th meridian) wan- ders so far west that it crosses the mountain time meridian, the 105th. To have a standard’ time any point not on a base meridian must vary from sone! sun time. Thus the standard itself is artificial and merely a convenience, JOTTINGS i Robert Peters, McClusky high school pupil, is proud. paper printed one of his cartoons, a boys’ magazine others . . .

T. Bottleson of Underwood. One of them, which classified under the Fib heading, intrigued a num- ber of readers. They wanted to know “Who is this Mr. Bottleson?” While we had our suspicions that it might be Blaine Whipple, editor of the Underwood News, we weren't positive until we chanced on the following item in the Underwood News: “At the supper table a few nights ago Mr. Q. T. Bottleson remarked: “Tf we had a million dollars, my dear, do you know what I would do with share?’” . "Ne Bottlegon, “‘what would you do with a hundred “‘No,’” replied Mrs. dollars?’ ” Only s newspaperman would dream of a million dollars.

Vogel. ——— Will and Falconer Say Private Was Nicholas Miller of Minnesota Regiment Publication by The Tribune Friday of the story bf North Dakota’s “un- known soldier”—unknown that is, in the records of the adjutant general's office—Saturday brought to light the fact that he isn’t unknown at all. First George Will called the Trib- une office to report the “unknown” was Private Nicholas Miller of Com- pany K, 6th Minnesota regiment, and a few minutes later W. A. Falconer, dropped in to verify this fact and give further information. Falconer said the troops of Gen. Hiram H. Sibley were the first armed white soldiers to enter what 1s now Burleigh county. In the latter part of 1863 they pursued a body of hostile Indians from Devils Lake to the Mis- souri river, entering Burleigh county July 27 about two miles north of the present town of Driscoll and follow- ing the Indians down the Apple Creek valley to the Missour river. On July 29 Sibley fought a battle with the Indians on the river bottoms near the mouth of Apple Creek, and. it was in this battle that Lieut. Bee- was killed and Miller was ver (not Beaver) scalped by the Indians, killed at the same time. Know Where Grave Is Lieutenant Beever was buried on the ridge where the soldiers had dug rifle pits but Miller was buried back from the ridge on land now owned by Angus Falconer, about two miles south of Fort Lincoln. The field long since has become plowed ground, Falconer said, but Angus Falconer knows the spot where Miller is buried. When Beever was buried a special Masonic lodge was convened to con- duct the ritual, he said, but there is no record of similar services for Mil- ler, The men were not buried to- gether. Some years later, Beever’s body was taken up and removed to Minnesota where it still lies. The records show, Falconer said, that Sibley drove the Indians across the Missouri river and afterward de- stroyed all of the wagons and camp equipment belonging to them. Another Soldier's Grave Another soldier in the Sibley army was killed in this part of the country, Falconer said. He was John Platt of Company K, First Minnesota Mount- ed Rangers, who was _ mortally wounded July 26 at Dead Buffalo lake, about two miles northeast of what is now Driscoll. He was buried on the west bank of Apple creek northwest of Menoken on what now be the V. M. Craven farm. On the return trip an Indian scout named Chaska became ill, died and was buried near what is known as the Slattenhouse slough in Burleigh county. Sibley’s imprint on the development of the country is indicated, Falconer said, by the geographical names of the community, such as Sibley town- ship, Sibley Butte and Sibley Island. C ONTINUE D from page one Trial Recesses to Monday as Judge Ponders ’33 Laws North Dakota matched the federal funds with state funds. Judge Wyman Interrupts Judge Wyman interrupted the cross-talk of the attorneys to declare he was not familiar with the lan- guage of the emergency acts and that he would like to have time to study such language before ruling. In rapid succession, Lanier placed his witnesses on the stand; witnesses through whom Lanier hopes to prove charges of conspiracy against Langer, Oscar Erickson, Republican State Central Committee chairman; Frank Vogel, former state highway chief, and R.

He said he “could not remember” what fund the check was drawn on, Dale Reveals Details Alfred 8, Dale, former North Da- kota state treasurer, revealed det of the purchase of a newspaper owned by his wife by Erickson out of which grew the Leader, - Dale testified that in the fall of 1932 shortly after Langer had been elected governor he visited Langer at | the latter’s home at which time the sale of the newspaper known as the Progressive was discussed. At a later meeting, in July, 1933, Dale declared, he was summoned to @ meeting in the governor's office. Present at the meeting, Dale testi- fied, were Langer, Vogel, then state highway commissioner and now one of the defendants; Erickson, Oscar Buttedahl, now editor of the Leader; Sam Clark, once editor of a Bismarck newspaper, and “one or two others.” Two Did Most Talking “Vogel and Langer did most of the talking,” Dale declared, Conversation revolved around “how much it would take to buy the Pro- gressive owned by my wife.” Dale said an agreement was reached under which the paper would be sold for $500 “but of course not directly to Langer and Vogel.” Dale testified Langer told Oscar Chaput, another defendant in the case who has pleaded guilty to the charges, to make out a bill of sale; that, however, the sale was not com- pleted at that meeting, but at a sub- sequent meeting in the evening at a local hotel. _ Dale Lists Witnesses Present at the later meeting, Dale testified, swere Erickson, Buttedahl, Chaput, and E. J, Conrad, publisher of a Bismarck by-weekly. “Chaput sat at a typewriter with @ bill of sale in the machine,” Dale recalled. “He looked up and said, ‘URDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1935 Pioneers Identify Unknown’ Soldier charge; that he wanted it under charge of an individual.

SOULE TO PRESENT SONG SERVIC HERE Trinity Lutheran Organizations Are Sponsoring Two Spe- cial Programs 5 Two special Sunday evening serv- ices for Nov. 3 and 10 were announced Saturday by Rev. Opie 8. Rindahl, pastor.of the Trinity Lutheran church. Ralph Warren Soule, tenor, will present his recital, “The Life of Christ in Song” which already has been pre- sented to large audiences at Mandan and Steele, at 7:30 o'clock Sunday evening. He will be assisted by Clar- ion E. Larson, organist. This program, which has been presented by Mr. Soule in practically every section of the United States, has been received with enthusiasm wherever given. It is being sponsored by the church choir. For Nov. 10, the junior and senior ‘Who will I put in it.” Erickson said,| Luther Leagues of the church will “William Langer.’” sponsor 1 “ Dale testified he remarked to oe ea Ohres cay etn sO Nee Christus,” which has been, made en- Erickson “you want the public ta jtirely in the Holy Land. This pro- know he’s the owner of the paper?” “—and Erickson said no.” Dale testified. On direct examination Dale said he explained to Erickson that who- ever signed the bill of sale must like- wise sign the statement of ownership to appear in the newspaper, Where- upon, Dale said, Erickson ordered “put. in my name.” Can't Recall Signature A check which Dale said was drawn on the Bank of North Dakota but which he did not see was written at that time in consummation of the sale, according to the testimony. Dale said he could not recall who signed the check. For a moment, James D. Gronna, secretary of state, was called to the witness stand to identify oaths of of- fice by Langer as governor and Vogel as state highway commissioner. George Lidecker, district P. W. A. project auditor, followed Gronna to the stand. Lidecker was used by the government as a witness to recall testimony given in the previous trial by Vogel regarding conversations be- tween Vogel and Langer concerning establishment of the Leader. Lidecker testified he heard Vogel testify that Vogel and Langer in the spring of 1933 discussed establish- ment of a newspaper during a ride between Bismarck and Mandan. Vogel Not in Favor The witness also declared he re- called Vogel testified he did not favor operation of a newspaper by means of solicitation due to “previous ex- perience he had had with newspapers and the fact that other newspapers might comment on it.” Lidecker also testified he recalled Vogel stated from the witness stand in the last trial that he would “as- sume the same attitude toward the paper as other state officials did.” Revelations made by Langer at his first trial ldst year were told by the government's first witness called, Paul J. Maloney of Aberdeen, 8. D., an ex- aminer in the division of investiga- tion of the department of interior. His testimony touching on import- ant facts testified to previously by Langer was given despite objections by Murphy. Assigned to Case Maloney testified that during 1933 he was engaged in investigation work for the department of interior with | policy headquarters at St. Paul. He said he was assigned to the Langer case the latter part of March, 1934, but that prior to that time he had invesigated portions of the case. In response to questioning by Lanier, Maloney testified he was present dur- ing the trial in the courtroom and, during the entire time that Langer testified. “I'll ask you whether or not during the time Langer was on the stand you heard him make a statement regard- ing a scheme for financing of a news- paper?” “Yes, sir, I did.” Lanier directed Maloney to state the substance of Langer’s testimony, and for the first time defense coun- Sel rose in objection. Murphy Objects Murphy objected to the testimony of Langer’s entire testimony on. grounds no foundation had been laid for testimony by Maloney; that it was out of the proper order of proof and that there had been no proof in- troduced of the existence of the al- gram also will start at 7:30 o'clock. “The Life of Christ in Song” is di- vided into two sections, “The Birth, Suffering and Death of Our Saviour,” and “Its Application in Our Lives.” In the first grouping Mr. Soule has bracketed “No Candle-Was There and No. Fire,” Lehmann; “Turn Ye Unto Me,” Highland air; “The Birthday of a King,” Neidlinger; “A Legend,” Tschaikowsky; “Thy Rebuke Hath Broken His Heart” and “Behold and See,” Handel, and “An Easter Hymn,” German chorale. The second group of songs includes “Prayer,” Soule; “A Prayer for Sleep,” Wood; “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” MacDougall; “Crossing the Bar,” Buck; “I have Walked with God To- day,” Neidlinger, and “Just As I Am,” Bentley. The interested public is invited to attend both programs. Grand Lodge Night Scheduled Monday Bismarck Masons will celebrate their annual grand lodge night Mon- day, Lester Diehl, master, announces. The third degree will be exemplified with the first section scheduled to bes gin at 5 p,m. At 6p, m. a mulligan stew supper will be served to be fol- ond section. Reports of the annual grand lodge meeting will be given, and Dieh! in- vites all master masons, whether or not members of the Bismarck lodge, to attend. There are four candidates for the third degree, and the new Masonic Male chorus, under the direction of Ralph Warren Soule, will sing. Orders State Bank to Stop Foreclosures No further foreclosures on farm lands are to be instituted by the Bank of North Dakota until the state in- dustrial commission has passed on the cases, P. O. Sathre, attorney gen- eral and member of the commission, informed R. M. Stangler, manager of the bank, Saturday. Sathre’s notice was in response to ® query from Stangler as to future to be pursued. “Until economic conditions im- prove,” he declared, “it will be of no benefit. either to the Bank of North Dakota or to the state to acquire more land through foreclosure pro- ceedings.” : London, Ont.—Michael McCardell, confessed kidnaper of John 8.
