TOLEDO WANTS
CRACK N. D. BAND
FIRST REGIMENT BAND OF LIS
BON WILL PROBABLY PLAY
FOR NATIONAL G. A. r.. EN-
cAMPMENT TO BE HELD IN
SEPTEMBER IN OHIO CITY.

Negotiations are on between the en-
tertainment committee of the city of
Toledo, in charge Of the festivities at
tendant upon the national G.. A. r.
encampment, which opens there Aug.
81, and Prof. w. D. Dallace Of Lis
bon, N. D., director of the First Reg
iment band, looking towards the en-
gagement of the crack North Dakota
band for the encampment.
Professor Wallace. who is In the
city today, when interviewed by a rep
resentative of The Forum. admitted
that the First Regiment band had re-
ceived an offer from the city of To-
ledo to aid in furnishing music for
the old veterans at their annual con-
vention this year.
One obstacle, however, may pre-
vent the North Dakota aggregation Of
musicians from accepting the Toledo
proposition, and that Is the fact that
the band viii accompany the First
regiment, N. D. ~ c., to the Ameri-
can lake. Wash, army mansuvers to
be held about the middle Of this
month. The regiment will probably
leave the state about Aug. Is and
Will be absent from the state about
twenty days, including the time
spent en- route there and return The
9. A. r. encampment opens Aug. 81
and continues until Sept. 5. Unless
the First Regiment band can make
arrangements to leave camp a few
days before it breaks up 1t will almost
be impossible for the band to reach
Toledo in time for the encampment.
The invitation of the Toledo COM
mittee to the First Regiment band is
indeed high compliment and one
well deserved. Under the excellent
leadership Of Professor Wallace, the
First Regiment band has become one
of the best musical organizations in
the northwest. Last year the band
played in Fargo during the Inter
state fair and made a great hit with
the patrons OF the exposition. Their
absence this year from the state fair
has been quite freely commented
upon and many people over the state
miss the delightful music that Profes-
sor Wallace's band discourses in such
an able manner.

British Vessel Brings Ghastly
Story
Sole Survivor Lost Life From
Ordeal

London, July 24.-The Elder Demp-
ster liner Albertville brought details
of the terrible disaster on the river
Congo, involving the wreck of the
steamer villa de Bruges and the loss
OF between seventy and eighty lives.
The vessel was on the voyage from
Stanleyville to Leopoldville and had
called at Dumangi. Shortly after the
resumption of the voyage, however.
the vessel encountered violent tor
nado. Captain Lundgren, who was In
command, decided to seek the shelter
of the shore, but the tempest increas
ed in fury, and he was unable to car
ry out this design.
The storm drove the vessel on to a
sand bank, and the ship eventually
overturned.
In addition to Captain Lundgren,
who was a native Of Sweden, there
were six Europeans on. board, Belgians
and Swedes, the rest being natives.
Captain Lundgren and friend, with
much difficulty, succeeded in swim
ming ashore, but directly they did so
were seized by natives, many OF whom
had gathered in menacing attitudes
OH the DStCns SOftlCs IL
clamored for the lives of the cap
tives, while others, more fearful of
the consequences, counseled the chief
tains not to bring reprisals on them
by Staying the white men.
Speared to Death and Eaten.
The chieftains turned deaf ears to
the latter's supplications, and after
much parleying Captain Lundgren and
his friend were speared to death.
The engineer of the Vile de Bruges,
who had managed to keep himself
afioat and was spectator of this ter
rible tragedy. succeeded later in the
day in escaping the natives clutches,
and in terribly exhausted state was
able to communicate to the command
ant Of the nearest station the ghastly
story AS far as can he ageertained,
he is the sole survivor Of the disaster.
Measures were at once taken to In
vestigate the AFFAIR, a search was
made for the bodies OF Captain Lund-
gren and his friend. but without avail,
and there seems little doubt that they
were eaten by the natives.
Many arrests have been made in
connection with the affair and when
the Albertville left Congo ports two
chieftains were awaiting trial. The
engineer of the Vile de Bruges had
lost his reason through the terrible
ordeal he had undergone, and was ly-
ing in a hospital.
