These teams failed to win their games Saturday, much to the chagrin Deadline Moved Up For Final Contest Deadline for ballots in this week’s football guessing contest conducted through the Bismarck Tribune by a score of the Capital City’s leading merchants will be one day earlier than in all previous weekly contests. Because five games scheduled for Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, are included in this week's list of 20 games, contest officials have de- cided that ballots must be in the office of the Bismarck Tribune on or before 5 p. m. Thursday. The five Thanksgiving Day games are all western games and will not be far under way at. the time of the ballot deadline. For this reason, Bismarck fans who otherwise might wait for the first radio reports on these games will not have any advantage over con- testants residing outside the city. “this tesa lst are scheduled for Satur- This week's will be the eighth The order specified a malt product. containing more than that amount of alcohol must be labeled ale,. porter, stout, or other designation commonly applied to such “strong” beverages.

D., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1987 Tenanted by Man Convict- ed of Bjone Murder LaMoure, N. D., Nov. 22—Discovery of a pearl-handled automatic re- volver, apparently a .25 caliber, has revived interest in a 10-year-old mur- der case when it was revealed that the revolver may have been the one used in the slaying of Hans C. Bjone, cashier of the Farmers and Mer- chants State bank of Verona, penitentiary. where Tucker was once a tenant and it passed into hands of county au- thorities a few days ago. The gun, badly rusted, has been identified by Mr. and Mrs. Hans Bjone, uncle and aunt of the slain man, as appearing to be the one owned by the slain man. Sheriff C. C. Paulson said the re- volver has been sent to the federal bureau of investigation at Washing- rial number of the gun. Bjone Had ‘Two Guns At the trial, Hans Bjone testified that his nephew had two revolvers, a 25 automatic, and a .32, and that he usually carried the small automatic on his person, invariably keeping it with him at the bank. An expert shot, the cashier was denied an oft re- peated desire to “shoot it out with a bank robber” when he was shot from behind without warning. Bjone was found murdered, his body lying in the bank’s vault on Feb. 28, 1927. Press accounts at the time of finding the body said four bullets were fired into his head. A later ac- count, the report of the trial, said five bullets were fired, three lodging - General opinion-mt-that-time- that the murderer used bis own weapon, @ .22 revolver, to knock Bjone down with the first shot. To make doubly sure that the victim was dead, the murderer fired three more bullets from the .22 calibre re- volver, and later, still another bullet was sent into Bjone’s head, the last bullet fired from a .25 calibre re- volver owned by Bijone. Bjone’s re- volver was never found. LaMoure county authorities de- clined to comment regarding the gun, pending further investigation. Since Tucker was convicted on cir- cumstantial evidence and has stoutly maintained his innocence, plowing up of the gun has stirred up much con- Jecture. Added interest is supplied through the fact that Tucker is mak- ing @ plea for pardon. His case is due to come before the board shortly. He has previously presented several pleas for clemency.

It caused intense excite- ment among French Royalists. The duke'’s son, the Count of Paris, immediately denied his father’s act had any connection with the Gagou- lards, or “Hooded Ones.” He insisted it was a mere coincidence that the manifesto was issued while the secret, armed, revolutionary organization was duke’s chances of changing France into a monarchy as ‘practically zero.” The Royalists throughout the country were believed to number less than ton in an effort to determine the se- | 50,000.

WELLER Washington, Nov. 22.—( control legislation reached the senate Monday, but in a form disregarding President Roosevelt's mandate against iereased farm expenditures without additional revenue. Weary from two days and nights of almost continuous deliberation, the senate agriculture committee complet- ed the bill at midnight Sunday by sweeping aside all limits on cost. Committee members estimated the Measure as drafted would raise the present $500,000,000 annual cost of farm benefits by $150,000,000 to $300,- 000,000. They made no effort to write in revenue provisions, since all tax legislation must originate in the house. The long-delayed crop control measure, still without a counterpart in the house, provides for a govern- ‘ment-farmer partnership in a com- bination voluntary and compulsory acreage and marketing control pro- gram. This was buttressed by federal loans and subsidies for farmer com- pliance with soil conservation and “ever-normal” granary provisions, Debate to Start Tuesday Debate probably will oe Tuesday.
