Attorney Charles S. Lane has re-
ceived letters during the past week
from Ireland informing him that the
second wife of Patrick Moran, an
old settler recently deceased, is still
living, and that several children of
Mr.. M. S are alive, some by his deceas-
ed wife and some by his wife now
living. There was considerable
terry in the life of Mr.. Moran,
and none of the early settlers, so far
as the writer knows. ever heard
much of a definite nature from his
lips as to his life before coming to
North Dakota. From remarks
dropped by him once in a while, and
his reference to the execution of
Allen. Larkin and O'Brien, it was
supposed by some that he had been
amember of the Fenian organization
and had perhaps left Ireland for that
reason. There was also belief,
founded on the old mans mysterious
remarks, that he had changed his
name when he came to this country.
But the people in the old country
who wrote to Mr.. Lane say that his
right name was Patrick Moran. Mr..
Moran was one of the early settlers
in the country nearly midway be-
tween Linton and old Williamsport.

was filled. and standing room was
a mighty scarce article. The stage
was tastefully decorated. giving
evidence of much time and labor
having been spent upon it. 1t
would be utterly impossible to men
ton any particular boy or girl who
took part in the literary ex ercises
without injustice to the others.
Usually there is one or more of the
children at such entertainments that

in this case. One after another, lit
