The Murder Of Dan Sullivan,

We have received a copy of
the Anaconda Standard con-
tanning a full account of the
killing of Dan Sullivan by Ed
ward Gilman on Christmas
day at Butte, Montana, men,
ton of which we made last
week. According to the story
evoked by the coroner's jury it
was a deliberate murder, with
out any provocation. :. Some
days before Dan had: found
fault with the quality of sup
per at the boarding house and
Gilman then told him it was
good enough. for him, and a
quarrel had followed. Gilman
then began to carry a gun.
Christmas day he came to the
boarding house where Sullivan
and four or five others were
drinking beer. On the stove
in the middle of the room was
tank of water for use in wash.
ing. About seven o'clock Dan
got up, took off his coat and
started toward the stove, the
men with him supposing he
was going to wash his hands.
Gilman was seated on the
other side of the room and as
DAN approached the stove he
drew his gun an | shot him
through the heart, killing him
instantly.
Dan Sullivan was we'll known
here, where he had a host of
friends. He was ever ready to
defend his rights, but was not
known to pick a quarrel, and
to his friends was loyal to a de-
gree seldom seen.
The news of his death was
heard with regret by many

appeal to all Americans to show
their sympathy with the brave
people who are now, in the words
of John Hancock, literally Offering
all that they have, all that they are,
and all that they hope to be, upon

forefathers in 1776 and 1912.
There will be no Boer wounded
on the British American hospital

Soon it will be Christmas day.
And so it was Christmas for
the parents and friends of
schools No. 5 and Z. For two
weeks previous to the long
looked for holidays the pupils
of the schools with the help of
their tetchers worked faithful

be given to parents and friends.
AT last the day came and all
assembled at the school house.
At eight o'clock the program
opened with a trio and contin-
ued with the following:

he came and in a very loud
voice he said he was Santa
Claus. While "Joy to The
World" was sung the tree was
being lighted, which in some
unbeknown way appeared in
the doorway.
Though the presents were
not very elaborate and expen-
sive yet they were rich, not in
quality but the love that the
willing hands interwove among
the chains pulled through with
each stitch or pasted under the
cover of many a little box that
was meant for some friend, sis
ter, brother, mother or father.
Altogether the children all
worked hard and cheerfully
sacrificing some part of each
play hour for holiday work.
The gifts were soon distributed
and with happy faces good
nights were said and all went
home from the first Christmas
tree ever held in No. 5.

The Rt. Rev. Samuel G. Eds
all d. D., bishop of North Da-

Saturday a. d Sunday the 9th
and 7th inst. He was the guest
of the rector,tlle Rev. Henry b.

ton in honor of the bishop. at
his residence on Saturday even
ing. Between 20 and 80
ladies and gentlemen were
present. The Ladies Guild
FINISHED refreshments. 1t was
altogether an enjoyable even
ing.
On Sunday morning at 1915
the bishop met the children of
the Sunday school and made
brief address, compli,nenting
them warmly ON their reverent
behavior, their participation in
the confession, the Lords
prayer, the Apostles Greed and
responses in the service.
At IL o'clock the church was
we'll filled by large and ap-
preciative congregation. At
the close of the morning
prayer, the bishop confirmed
class of three adults, address
ing them brief y on their duties
and privileges as christians.
He then preached an admirable
sermon from St. Luke 1I:15, on
the Glory of the Incarnation.
The morning services were
concluded with the administers
tion of the sacrament of the
Holy Eucharist.
There was large and atten-
tive congregation at the even

of five thousand men with five
loaves and two small fishes.

upon the greatness of the diff

on the smalln, So of the re-
sources to meet it. Yet the
need was so amply met by the
apparently inadequate means,
that twelve baskets were filled
with the fragments that re-
mained over and above unto
them that had eaten. In the
hands of Christ the five loaves
were made more than "suffci-
ent" for all needs.
This miracle the bishop used
as symbol of the simple gos-
pei of Christ to meet and over
come the appalling and por-
tentious sins of the world.
That the gospel was'sufficient"
to overcome the world. was very
felicitously argued and illus
trated in a sermon of excep-
tional power and most fervid
eloquence. The large congre
CATION was held throughout in
wrapt attention.
Altogether it was red letter
day for Trinity church and
parish.

Tuesday and mentioned the

large company of friends
were invited. A banquet was
served and Guy Divet, the mas

favored the occasion with a
very interesting talk. The oc-
casion was thought to have
been one of the most interest
ing ever had in that city.
The Standard Oil Co.'S pres
ent of $25 to the Wahpeton fire
department was a little some
thing in the way of apprecia-
tion of the great service done
the company by the depart
ment. The boys braved dan
gers there and saved $1,000 or
$500 in wooden structure,
which, burned, might have
heated and burst the several
large tanks in the enclosure.
entailing immense further loss:
and while the $25 is hardly a
drop in the, bucket toward re-
compense to the volunteer
company, it shows a little
idea of appreciation and en-
courages the boys IN their vol
unteer service to the city. But
as a matter of fact the company
ought to have forwarded 500.

MAUI, Sept 10.-A very interesting
meeting has recently taken place at
Kahului which bids fair to bring about
a condition of things that will be of
great public benefit to Central Maui.
In Wailuku, Kahului and Spreckels-
Vile. social intercourse has, up to now,
been almost nil. A condition of things
has come to pass that may be summed
Iup in three words-work, eat, sleep.
This short sentence accurately de-
scribes the daily life of nearly all the
EMPLOYEES of the various concerns do

pIoyes. no less than their employers.
have long felt that such state OF
things was not ideal, nor likely to be
beneficial to either party.
The directors of Hawaiian CONNER

did club house at their new mill-site'
at Spreckelsville and are doing great
deal to make it an attractive home, and
