publish roster of the participants in an all

the satanic Christians to worship was rung
at DEVILS Lake City, the past week from the
PRESBYTERIAN church. This statement might
be susceptible of modification if there were
newspapers on file in the period prior to the
mound builders, some 60, 900 or more years
since. But it is believed there was no lake
