Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1906-02-15

Johnnie House was very much
surprised last Friday evening by
number of his school-mates and
friends gathering at his home on
North Table about s o'clock, it be-
ing his 18th birthday. The sur
prise was given by Miss Hobson,
his teacher. A number were out
from Valentine, among them be-
ing the Clarkson children and
their grandma, Kathleen Kelley,
Pearl Carey, and John Gould.
After playing several games and
enjoying themselves, they were
ushered into the dining room and
enjoyed very nice lunch pre-
pared by Mrs. House. If you
want to have a real good time you
want to 60 out to Mrs. M. G..
Houses and you will be sure to
have it. John received many use
full and valuable presents and it
was an evening long to be remem-
bered by him and those present.

Senator Tillman of South Caro-
lima questions the sincerity of
President Roosevelt in his efforts

He says that the presidents ad-
visors are of the wrong class and
that nothing good can be hoped
for from Senator Knox, who, he
claims, is allied with the railroads
and the trusts.

IMMIGR ANTS
COMING
Advance Guard Of a Company Of Sixty
Settlers From Troniem, Norway, Ar.
rives From Christiana-All Expect
to Make Home In North Dakota.

A party of five Norwegian young
people, who sailed from Christiana five
weeks ago in the steamer Cymric of
the White Star line, arrived in Grand
Forks last evening and this morning
left for the western part of the state.
where they are to make their future
home. There were four young men
and one young lady in the party, their
names and destinations being as fol-
lows: John Johnson, Hilda Holt, An
ton Anderson, Lakota; Olaf Skarstad.
Souris; George Tobiason, Antler One
thing particularly noticeable about the
newcomers was their ability to master
the English language. Although never
before beyond the confines of their
native land, all were able to under
stand and be fairly we'll understood in
English. They reported smooth
passage across the Atlantic.
George Tobiason, in a conversation
with newspaper men, stated that in
the course Of couple of months
party of sixty Norwegian homeseekers
would leave his birthplace-Tronjem-
for North Dakota, coming direct to
Grand Forks. Preparations were be-
ing made when he left. Many of those
In the party are already well-to-do in
the fatherland. but desire to come to
the far west land and grow up with
the country. The Norwegians are
very sturdy and desirable class of
emigrants. according to the U. S. bu-
reau of immigration, and many of
North Dakota's public officials came
from Norway to North Dakota many
years ago, landing here under circum-
stances much similar to those sur
rounding the quintet which reached
Grand Forks last evening.

AMPUTATED A
FOOT
Fifteen. Year.Old Selma IsaacsOn Has
Foot Crushed While Crawling Under
Cars In the Great Northern Yards
Was Homeward Bound From Work.


The dangerous practice of taking
shortcuts through the Great North
ern yards adopted bv people employed
in the north end OF the city and resid-
Ing in the southern confines, came very
nearly resulting fatally last evening
for pretty Selma 1saacson, 15-year-
old girl employed as dipper in the fac
tory of the Congress Candy company.
AS it is, the girl had her right foot
so badly crushed by the cruel wheels
that 1t was necessary to amputate it
above the ankle, and she will have to
go through life as cripple.
The victim was returning home from
work about o'clock and attempted to
crawl under "a string of freight cars
opposite the Great Northern depot.
The cars were standing still, but were
moved by other cars thrown in on the
track from the west end, just as the
girl crawled under An eyewitness
states that she evidently became ex-
cited and lost her head from fear, for
had she moved fast and not slipped,
she would, 1t is said, have escaped all
right. AS it was. the wheels caught
her foot and dragged her a little dis
lance. She was afterward removed to
the Deaconess hospital and the crush
ed foot taken of.
Miss Isaacson's father and a brother
are both employed in the local yards
by the Great Northern. The oficials
of the company state that the practice
OF crossing the tracks is being follow
ed daily by many people, notwithstand-
Ing that repeated warnings have been
issued.

A ROBBERY AT
M'CANNA
Temperance Saloon Burglarized BY
Three Men Two of Whom Were
Rounded Up Last Night at LarimOre
One Of the Men "Peached'' on Pals.

A trio Of men broke into and
robbed Britton's temperance saloon
and billiard hall at McCanna on Tues
day evening. after first gaining en-
trance through a window. Slot ma
chimes containing nickels to the ag-
gregate of $50 were smashed and their
contents removed. and similarly with
money drawer which had in it
small amount.
The robbery was reported to the
authorities here and at Larimore late
yesterday and last evening Deputy
Sheriff l.. G. Ketchum of Larimore
snapped the cuffs on two men who
were noticed to be rather flush" on
nickels, spending the same with
reckless hand round the soft" drink
palaces of the town. When searched
at the city lookup the two men had
on them between 81 and IS apiece in
nickels. They were separated and
"sweated." One of them at length con-
fessed that the two and third man.
who is still at large, did the robbing.
The officers have description of
the third party and an endeavor is
being made to land him behind the
bars with his pals.
The two who are now in Jail. will
probably get a hearing some time to-
day and be bound over to the next
term of the district court. 1t is prob
able that they will be charged with the
crime of burglary, they having forced
an entrance, and at night time.
Late today one of the suspects was
released, it being learned that he was
not implicated in the robbery, but the
other man will be brought to the
county Jail this evening by Deputy
Sheriff Ketcham.

THE BURGLARS
FRIGHTENED
Attempt to Rob Bank of Hunter Last
Evening Proves Fruitless Robbers
Frightened Away BY Passer By
No Clue to Perpetrators Of Crime.

Special to The Evening Times.
Fargo, April 26.-An attempt to rob
the Farmers and Merchants bank at
Hunter, N. D. was made last evening
but the robbers were evidently fright
ened away and the safe was left un-
mOlested.
The men, for indications point to
there being more than one, made an
entrance through the back window
Of the bank and had ransacked some
of the money drawers but the cash and
securities were all in the safe. They
left the bank without making an at
tempt upon the safe. AS there were
several people passing until a late
hour last evening, it Is probable that
the men we're frightened away by
them. No clue has thus far been OBJ
tanned Of the perpetrators.

Famed Juvenile SOlOists, Coming to
Grand Forks on Saturday, May 26,
Under Auspices Of Woman's Guild.

Grand Forks on Saturday, May 26,
Under Auspices Of WOman's Guild.
Grand Forks people, the music-lov-
ing class particularly, but everyone in
general, on the evening of Saturday,
May rs. will have an opportunity of
hearing one of the rare musical treats
OF the season, in concert entertain
ment to be given by the celebrated
Roney Boys Concert company Of Chi
cago. This organization has a nation
al reputation, having sung in the White
House at Washington, the Temple of
Music at the st. Louis worlds fair,
the Auditorium at Chicago and other
places. The members of the company
are all boys under IL years of age, six
in number, and each is a soloist, as
we'll as being able to appear in part
songs.
Mrs. Bruce Vest of Louisville, KY, a
well-known and brilliant newspaper
woman of the south, is managing the
company and was visitor in Grand
Forks today. The entertainment is 20
be given under the auspices of the
Woman's Guild of st. Paul's Episcopal
church The company carries with t
Tracy Holbrook, celebrated boy VIC
linist. Holbrook is but II years of age
and is a pupil of Earl Drake, the we'll
known Chicago teacher of the violin.
A year ago last Christmas President
Roosevelt gave an entertainment for
the children Of the diplomatic corps
and of other prominent officials
at Washington in the White House.
About six hundred were present. The
Roney Boys Concert company was the
main feature of entertainment and
much merited praise was given the
company for its excellent performance.
Grand Forks people certainly have
something to look forward to. The
concert will probably be given at the
opera house. but the place will be an
nounced later. Mrs. Vest is an enter
tanning conversationalist and has
many interesting anecdotes Of her
travels and experiences.

ANNIVERSARY
OF ORDER

Odd Fellows to Celebrate S7th Year of
Their Founding on Sunday-Special
Services at First Baptist Church in
This City.
Odd Fellows throughout this vast
country will this week, with more or
less ceremony, observe the eighty
seventh anniversary of the establish
ment of Odd Fellowship on the Ameri-
can continent.
The Grand Forks Odd Fellows will
keep the day in common with their
brethren all over the country and
special services will beoheld at 1890
Sunday morning in the First Baptist
church, to which edifice the lodge will
march in a body. Rev. F. E. r. Miller
will be the speaker.
Thomas Wildey, an Englishman and
member of the Manchester Unity of
Odd Fellows, with four associates
gathered in a small room on the even
ing of April 26, 1919, in the city of
Baltimore, and there formed Wash
ington Lodge No. 1. What il the quin-
| tette of worknien could view the re-
| suit of their work and desires today?
There have been few events in the
history of the United States which
have been fraught with greater sig
| nificance. Today Washington lodge is
the parent of 14,345 lodges, 6,S76
Rebekah lodges, 3,172 Encampments,
and ST. Cantons. The subordinate
| lodges alone now have a membership
| of 1,217,145, while the lady members
of the Rebekah branch increase this
membership to 1,52O,621. If this vast
| army OF fraternal workers should
clasp hands they would form an un-
broken chain 1900 miles long.
The Odd Fellow Review, Minnea-
polls, commenting ON the observance
| of the anniversary, says the real sig
nificance of this vast army of Odd Eel
lows cannot be expressed in financial
tables. The primary purpose of Odd
Fellowship is character building. Hon
esty, industry, temperance, loyalty to
| country, reverence for religion, faith
| in God and fraternity toward all men,
are the subjects of every lesson taught
by Odd Fellowship. If the churches
should be destroyed and the bible lost,
still We would have the story OF
Abraham's faith, the story of Jonathan
and Davids friendship, the parable of
the Good Samaritan. and the Golden
Rule as a guide of right living, all
| preserved in the ritual of this order.
The influence Of these teachings upon
100000 lives may not be easily
measured.

BID. TOWSEND
TALKS
Assistant u. s. District Attorney Visits
City for Purpose Of Ascertaining the
Feasibility Of Holding Term of the
Federal Court Here.

Federal Court Here.
Bert d. Townsend. assistant United
States attorney of Fargo, who was in
Grand Forks Wednesday, as noted in
these columns, stated the main object
of his visit to representative of The
Evening Times last night He said:
The real reason for my presence
here is that of investigating the pro-
gress of work on the new federal
building with view to ascertaining
whether or not the structure will be
in shape so that we can hold a term
OF court here beginning the first of
June. 1t looks to me as though we
might be able to do SO. The contrac-
tors tell me that the weather of the
past ten days has been bad for drying
varnish. Then also I find there is
much piecing to do and this is the
work that takes time. We do not
want to move into the building until
1t is absolutely complete and ready
TOT occupancy, for it is always the
case that work postponed, is never
completed.
"To tell the truth we are hard set
at the present time for place in
"AASA W uoiu I. lie I6Q9ral
building at Fargo is unfit for occu-
pancy, one entire side of the building
being open, owing to commencement
of the addition. We are anxious to
hold term in June. so as to clean
up the federal calendar and avoid the
necessity of holding court during the
hot weather in July.
The contractors will make every
possible endeavor to complete the
Grand Forks structure by June 1, but
to my mind If they are to do it, there
will have to be some almighty tall
hustling done between now and then"
Mr.. Townsend went home to Fargo
last evening in company with Attor-
ney General Frick, State Auditor
Holmes, Secretary of State Porter and
other state officials. all of whom were
bound for Bismarck, where they 20 to
