Students Club.

A very interesting meeting of the
Students Club was held in the par.
lors of the LaGrande last Saturday
afternoon.
The topic for consideration was the
city of Florence which Mr.. Northrup
presented in very entertaining man
ner. He described the principal
points of interest, the buildings, and
some of the art treasures contained
therein, following with its history
which was interspersed with sketches
of some of the noted men of Florence
by different members of the club.
An appropriate closing of the pro-
gram was Mr.. Northrup's recitation
of Browning's poem "Andrew del
Sarto," which delighted all who
listened.
An art program will be given at
the next meeting, which will occur at
home of Mrs. W. G. Bicknell on the
afternoon of March %.

Gathering at the Armory Monday
Evening program Followed by
Dancing.
st. Patrick,s day was observed in
Morris by all good Irishmen and
others. Everywhere could be noticed
the prevalence of the green ribbon
and the shamrock, and business
seemed to come to standstill, while
the sons and daughters of Erin
turned out to pay their respects to
the departed saint.
An interesting program had been
planned, and an enthusiastic audience
gathered at the armory Monday even
ing to listen to the addresses and
otherwise enjoy themselves.
Chairman Reardon called the meet
ing to order, and spoke briefly of the
object of the gathering. He ex-
pressed feeling of regret that some
of the speakers were unable to attend
and also that the committee had been
disappointed in securing the greater
portion of the musical program, which
was principally due to the inclement
weather.
Interesting addresses were 'deliv-
cred by Mayor Bevans, Attorney
Grace, Miss Mary Flynn and j. j..
McHale. Miss Nora Calvin, accom-
panied by Olivia Christianson sang a
very pretty solo.
Mayor Bevans delivered the ad
dress of welcome, and dwelt briefly
on the life of st, Patrick.
Attorney Grace spoke sympathe-
tically of the Beers and the hardships
they are enduring in South Africa.
and compared the cause for which
they are fighting to that of the Irish,
He was followed by Miss Mary
Flynn, who spoke enthusiastically of
the Irish cause, and the chastisment
they have suffered at the hands Of
the English nation.
j. ]. McHale of Minneapolis gave
very lengthy discourse on the his
tory of Ireland and the life of st.
Patrick. We have heard better
speakers, but as far as history goes
he had bunch of it with HIM.
After the program the hall was
cleared, and dancing until a late
hour was participated in by the
younger element. Supper was
served in the hall by the Daughters
of Erin.

A FATAL ACCIDENT
GEORGE COLAHAN KILLED on
THE q. N. NEAR BROKEN
RIDGE.
Freight Train Passes Over Him -His
Body Found by Second Train.

Another distressing accident oc-
Cured on the Great Northern near
Breckenridge last Friday afternoon
when George Colahan of this city fell
from freight train and suffered IN
iuries from which he died before any
one could come to his assistance
Nothing definite is known regarding
the accident for the train which ran
over him had gone several miles be-
fore he was missed from his post.
The freight on which he was braking
left Breckenridge shortly after three
o'clock on Friday afternoon west
bound on the Larimore branch, and
it was not until six o'clock that his
lifeless body was picked up about
three miles west of Galchutt by an
east bound freight. No one knowns
how the accident occurred, but the
wind was blowing a terrific gale and
it is thought that he slipped and fell
between the cars while the train was
in motion. He was not missed from
his train until it had gone several
miles, probably on account OF the
confusion which would naturally be
caused by the violent storm.
Coroner Kaufman ordered his body
brought to Wahpeton where it was
placed in charge of the relatives from
here, who had already been sum
moned, and brought here for burial
Sunday morning. Funeral services
we're held in the Assumption church
Tuesday morning, Rev. Father Goe-
bel officiating. and the remains in
tered in the Morris cemetery.
George was the youngest son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. T. c.. Colahan, of this
citv. He was born in Morris nine-
teen years ago, and has lived here
nearly all his life. Last November
he went to work for the Great North
ern railroad, and had reputation of
being one of the best brakemen on
the line, considering the short time he
had worked. He was always good
hearted, honest, industrious young
man, loved and respected by his as
sociates.
. He leaves a father, mother, four
brothers and two sisters, all of whom
we're in attendance at the funeral ex-
ceps Martin, who is in British Column

young men, goes out to the bereaved
family.

ANTON WATZKE, SIR.
Funeral Services Held Sunday After.
noon--A Brief Sketch Of
His Life.

The funeral Of the late Anton
Watzke was held at the residence last
Sunday afternoon. In accordance
| with his wish the services were con-
Quoted by the Odd Fellows, of which
lodge he had been member for
many years. On account of the fierce
storm that was raging only few OF
the nearest relatives and friends were
able to be present, otherwise the
services would have been largely
attented, for Mr.. Watzke was an old
settler, and well known throughout
the county. Deceased was born in
Bohemia in 1917, where he lived
until the age Of seventeen. He then
went to Prussia, where a few years
later he was married to Miss Alber-
tina Smith, with whom he lived
happily until the time Of her death
five years ago. After livingin Prussia
seventeen years, he moved his family
to this country and settled at a little
town named Barrie, in Dane county,
Wisconsin, where he engaged in
farming. In 1868 he moved to Black
Earth in the same state. where he
was prosperous farmer for another
period of seventeen years. In 1885
he moyed to Morris where he resided
until his dsath, and where five years
ago he buried the good wife who
had been with him through all The
trials and yicissitudes of life, and
blessed his declining years. In look
ing over the history of this good old.
man we notice a remarkable sequence.
His life seems to be divided into
periods of seventeen years each.
Seventeen years in Bohemia, seven
teen in Prussia, seventeen in Dane
county Wis, seventeen in Black
EarthsWis., and seventeen in Stevens
county, and several times during the
past few years he had remarked that
he only cared to live until he was IS
years of age, for that would be the
completion Of his seventeen years in
Morris, and he felt certain that this
would all come to pass. And strange
yet true, the seventeen year period
is 1t a close and he has gone to his
reward. He had not been i'll as far
back as he could remember, and
there was no sign of any illness at
the time of his death, but the
infrmities of advanced age, and his
desire that death would come in his
eighty fifth year seem to have been
the cause of his demise.
Deceased was the father of fifteen
children, nine Of whom are still
living. seven girls and two boys. His
daughters are all married, four Of
whom are living here: Charles, his
oldest son, is a prosperous farmer
near Madison, Wisconsin. while
Anton has acquired a lucrative
business in this place.
Although Mr. Wake has not been
engaged in active work since leaving
Wisconsin, he has been very popular
throughout this county, and in his
death we lose highly respected
citizen, ard the family kind and
loving father.

ming parallel to the sill Behind them
was gathered a crowd of 25 men. Es-
cape in other directions was impOssi-
Bile, for the fire filed all the halls and
was steadily eating its way toward
the window at which the men were
standing The men closest to the
screen tore and tugged at it in a vain
effort to tear it from its fastenings
and the men behind them fought mad
ly to get close enough to the screen to
fasten their fingers in it. So fiercely
did the prisoners pull at the screen
that from the street below were plainly
visible tiny streams of blood that
trickled from lacerated fingers and
hands and flowed over the window sill.
Finally the screen was torn from its
fastenings, and after several minutes
of hard tugging the bars were also
torn out.
Then a new danger assailed the
prisoners. The crowd behind, hear
ing that at last the way was open,
pushed forward with such haste that
those near the window were nearly
sidewalk, four stories below. The first
man through was DR.. C. A. Anderson
of Chicago He hestitated for an in
stant. then sprang for the fire escape
clutched it and was saved. The next
man through the window was G. S
Gott. Anderson was so much ex
hausted that he was not able to drag
Gott after him and Gott was so badly
burned that he was not able to make
the leap himself Clinton Osborne
crawled out beside Gott and told the
men inside to grasp his feet. This
they did, and, telling Gott to take holC
of his wrists and drop over the window
sill, Osborne, hanging head downward
swung Gott to and fro until he haC
acquired sufficient momentum, anS
! then swung him up and onto the land
ing of the fire escape, where Dr. An
derson seized and held him. He an'
Gott then formed a chain, Gott hold
ing to the fire escape, and Anderson
tightly held by GOtt with one hand
reaching out toward the window, 81
that the men one by one as the,
/ crawled through were able to take on
step on ledge and make short lea
to the platform Of the fire escape
down which they made their way :

their escape in this manner, and whe
