RESULT OF EMBEzzLEMENT
Allegheny National Bank Of Pittsburg
Closes Its Doors.

Pittsburg, May IS. - Following
lengthy meetings at which thorough
discussion of Cashier William Mont
gomery's populations was held the AL
legheny National bank has suspended
The following notice was posted on
the door by National Bank Examiner
William L. Folds:
"Closed by the order of the comp
troller of the currency and placed in
charge of William l.. Folds"
For days it has been apparent that
the cashiers alleged misdeeds had
seriously crippled the institution and
the actual suspension caused little or
no excitement. Quite a number of
depositors were gathered on Fifth ave
nue. opposite the bank and when the
order of suspension was posted all
read it and then quickly disappeared.
While Montgomery's populations are
officially placed at 1884, 900 it is said
the banks shortage is close to 81,
000.00o. Montgomery is held in 1925
900 bail.

Lynn Lake Celebrates.

The celebration of Norway's National
Day, May 18th at Lynn under the
auspices of the Bergen and Falness
Young Peoples societies last Sunday
was huge success. The ram which
fell Saturday night undoubtedly pre-
vented some from going but in spite of
tins the gathering that assembled to do
honor to Norway was the greatest ever
seen at any celebration in that locality.
Rev. Ellie and his Co workers are to be
congratulated on the success of the
celebration. A conservative estimate
would place the attendance at ECO or
800 people.
The meeting opened by talk to the
Young people especially, by Rev.
Aasgard, of De crest, Wis, in Nor
wegian and was an able address. After
hls address was concluded a picnic
thinner was partaken of by those assem-
pied after which Frank Anderson
delivered an address He was followed
~,
Mimi, and the conclusion was an
address in English by Rev. Aasgard
who proved himself master Of both
languages. There was no dearth of
music as that part of the program was
ably contributed to by Falness Choral
( Ouion, of Independence township, and
TIA Norske Selskab's Mandskor, of
Webster. Mrs. Frank Anderson con-
tributed two solos which as usual
were very fine and Ed Rickmo added to
this several flute solos, Miss Margaret
Wist accompanies, also shared in the
musical honors of the OCCASION
A ball game between two picked
mines added an element of sport to the
occasion and friendships were renewed
and new ones formed, and altogether
the occasion was greatly enjoyed ~
avery one, and wilt remain a memor-
able one to the people of that commu-
NIFTY and to the visitors alike.

PASSES into HISTORY
First Conference Of Governors Of
the United States.
HARMONY Is THE KEYNOTE
Opinion Unanimous That Action
Should Be Taken to Conserve
Natural Resources.
HARMONY is THE KEYNOTE

Washington, May 16.-The first con-
ference of the governors of the states
of the American Union has ended.
The accomplis hments of the confer
ence cannot be set forth with mathe-
matical precision. That its immediate
results are more than ample is the eX.
preston of President Roosevelt, who
brought 1t about, and of the governors
who participated.
The printed record of the confer
ence, which will later be available TO
every American home, will be COM
pilation of facts, startling in their
meaning, convincing in their univer-
sal conclusion that the states must
act, and that the states and the nation
must cooperate to the end that TO
/ the whole people of the nation may
accrue the lasting benefit of its nat
ural resources.
! Besides the compilation of facts by
the experts and the freely expressed
opinion of the governors, the confer
ence leaves as its permanent record
! 900 words of declaration" Not a
declaration of independence" but a
declaration of cooperation"
Perhaps greater in importance than
al else was the determination of the
governors of the states to perfect a
permanent organization whereby a
heretofore unknown intimacy may be
developed among the executives of
the forty-six sovereign states, made
strong by common purpose, and
made potent by announcements which
may not lightly be disregarded.
In brief, the declaration Is to the eff
lect that the natural resources Of the
country are threatened with exhaus-
ton and that measures should be
taken for the conservation of the
natural wealth of the country.

THIRTY DEAD IN STORM.
TWO Hundred Others Injured by
Southern Tornado.

Shreveport, La, May 15.-Thirty
dead and 200 injured is a conservative
estimate of the fatalities caused by
the tornado which swept through
Northwest Louisiana, destroying three
small towns and leaving wrecked
homes and ruined crops in a path a
mile wide and fifty miles long. The.
dead at Gillian, which had about 200
inhabitants, number thirteen, while at
Bolinger the known death list is six.
These two towns are about thirteen
miles apart and nothing has been
learned of the work of the storm in
the country between. At Elmore, a
small town near Gillian, several
houses were destroyed and It is not
known how many people persisted. Sew
eral of the dead were brought to
Shreveport on the relief train from
Gillian and the hospitals and sani-
tariums are crowded with injured,
several of whom will die. Only two
houses were left standing at Gillian.

miss a negro soldier of the Twenty

that the president had right to dis
miss the soldier. Judge Hough sus-
.ained this contention and directed a
Judgment in favor of the government.

St Margaret's Academy, of which Miss
Villa Mabel Alley, of this city, Is one

sentative to musician, including the
Old Italian, old English, and two Ger

is no more beautiful song than Schu.
bert's exquisite Question" from the
cycle, The Maid of the MILL" and tell
ing how not the stars, the flowers, but
his daily companion, the little brook,
shall reassure the fainthearted lover.
The simplicity of Schubert like that in
piece of fine embroidery, vanishes
with observation. To sing his songs
requires real love of the music, a rec
ognitlon of the poetic gems Schubert
chooses to set to music, and long study !;
but skill in voice control, great atten-
ton to detail and finish. The "Ques-
ton" is we'll suited to Miss Alleys
voice. The other songs of this first
group were delightfully."- fresh and
attractive, and showed the unusual
range, volume and sympathetic quality
of Miss Alleys voice which together
with charming stage presence fur.

Miss Alleys numbers of the second
group were delightfully."- sung and in the
French song given as an encore iowa dis
the last part of the program one noted
the fine pianissimo effects which is
marked characteristic of the pupils
trained under Madame Schoen-Rene
1t is pleasure to know that Miss Alley
will be heard in song again soon. The
evening will long remain a delightful
memory in tho minds of those present
Miss Alleys many Webster friends
will be pleased to learn of her popular
ity and success as instructor in Boise,
and we join them in congratulations,
feeling assured that all compliments
are deserved and are the results of hard
study and close application coupled with
liberal supply of native ability.

THE INDIANS TRADITIONS OF DESOTO'SFIGHTSANDMARCHES

rivers and creeks. near the falls ana shoals for the purpose of fishing. The Indians who inhabited the Gulf Coast and that of the Atlantic, as far east as Beaufort & C., and the rivers as far back as latitude B north, previous to the settlement of the Muscogees Tn this country were Paspagolas Baluxies Movilas. Apilaches Hitchetas, Uchees Yamacraws wimosas. Sawanoka. or Shawnees, Sowanoky Hatchh is original ly tho name of the Savannah River and it means the river of the siades.
 The Seminole is a mixed race of al most all the tribes I have mentioned, but mostly Hitchtas and Creeks They have an entirely different history Of their own and were in the country when the Creeks entered 1t. Seminole, inCreek language, signifies wild or run away, or outlaw.
 INDIAN INDITION AS TO
 DEATH OF DE SOTO
 There have been many conflicting ac- counts of John Ferdinand De Soto, when, where, how he died and when he was buried. According to Mcqueen account and that of the oldest Indian of the nation, when he came 10 IL, Soto died in what is called Natchi- toches Parishin what is now Louisiana at the last fort he built called the Azadyze; and the oldest Spanish set- tiers of this county have .corroborated McQueen's account. There are yet 10 be found among the people of this country, some of the descendants or Soto's men and some of his name. All the Indian traditions and those of the early Spanish say that he died and was burid at Azadyze.
 It Is now 142 years since Mcqueen first came to the Creek county and Indians that were then living even at the age of 75 years could give very correct tradition of things that had happened only eighty or 100 years be- fore. Indians are very particula in their relation of circumstances and events and not half so apt to embellish as the whites, and the march Of soto through their country and his lights with them were affairs not likely to be forgotten by them and would be handed down for a generation or two' at least very correct. Even In my time I have heard old Indians allude to the white warrior, or TustanuSga Hatke, as they called Soto.
 You see I write spell, and dictate badly, but have given you what have heard from others who are pest calculated to inform me upon such subjects. If there is anything in this that you have not seen or heard before, and you think 1t worth publishing, do so; if not lot 1t pass for I assure you I am not desirous of becoming con- spicuouS as a writer in a newspaper or any thing else--though I doubt much if the man lives that has seen as much of the old Indian times or and heard as much of the early his tory of the Creeks as I have would like to be where could sit and tell 1t over to you: could make you un- derstand 1t much better
 May you live long and die rich.
