Special to The Evening Times.
Williston, N. D., April 1.-THE
Daily State says: Under the most
tragic conditions Elias Lunde, nine
teen years old, died of diphtheria at
Williston last night, alone and un-
cared for, his last struggles against
the black messenger being made with
out one friendly hand to help him,
without a human face to cheer him DIS
he crossed into the dark valley of
death.
What 'he must have suffered as he
lay in a windowless shack, can only be
imagined. What torture came to his
body and mind as he lay choking to
death, can only be realized by those
who have stood by loved ones and seen
the awful sufferings that come with
the disease SO dreaded. Friday night
he was taken there, taken to poor,
miserable shed in the Westlawn ad-
dition, and from that time until death
came to relieve him, no nurse laid a
tender, kindly hand upon him, no per-
son stayed to minister to his wants.
He died alone without a soul to reach
out a gentle hand and let him know
that mankind loves mankind and that
the broad sympathy OF the human
heart will reach out in most cases and
stay with the dying one until the frail
bark had drifted away and out beyond
the horizon.
Lunde came from Montana Friday
evening to get treatment from DR..
Jennson, who is with DR.. Dochther-
man. DR.. Jennson was not there, and
DR.. Dochtherman quickly diagnosed
the case as diphtheria. He called a
dray and the sick man was carted to
a little shed block back of the home
of j. r. Henry in Westlawn. A small
stove was taken there and some wood,
and "a pail of water left within the
reach of the pain racked man proved
. the thcn4hs..,ness 4cf the authorities
who care for the sick and the home
less.
DIR. Dochtherman made number of
trips to the lonely sufferer and left
him medicine, but 1t is asserted that
when the water was consumed, the
sick man carried his own. The grim
messenger in sweet and tender mercy
had come in the dark hours of the
night and closed the eyes and stopped
the heart beats. The dead mans
relatives live fourteen miles northeast
of Williston. DR.. Dochtherman says
that he instructed nurse to go to the
shack and stay with the suffering man,
but that the nurse failed to go. DR..
Dochtherman was out of the city to-
day, and the identity of the man who
failed to carry out instructions has
not been secured.

Fargo. April 17.-Among the politi-
cal possibilities in this state is the
appointment of Treadwell T. Twichell,
late speaker of the house of represen-
tatives of the state legislature, to the
position of warden of the state peni-
tentiary at Bismarck. No confirma-

there is an inside mystery about the
matter which, indicates that there is
something doing. The present board
is hostile to the continuance of War
den Boucher in that position, and it
is claimed that the appointment, of
Twichell would have some effect on
the clearing of the candidacial atmos-

number of persons brought together
for scientific discussion.
Mr.. Carnegie donated outright ST.
100000 for the erection of the en-
gineering building. In addition he
made loan to the three societies of
$4O0,OO00 for the purchase of the
ground. He took mortgage upon
the land. with interest at per cent,
the life of the mortgage to be twenty
years, but payable sooner if the So
cieties are able.
The undertaking has attracted the
attention of men of science who are
engaged in the great manufactures,
for it is expected that the concentra-
ton of scientific work in one building
will be OF inestimable service in the
great world of industrial and mining
activity. Already some of those who
illustrate the commercial application
of science and especially Of electricity
have felt it privilege to contribute
more particularly with view of de-
creasing the mortgage.
