Sheriff Steinhofer of Ward
county went to Antler this
week in search of a man who
stole a horse and buggy from
near Crosby. His man was
located there all right and
placed under arrest and taken

circumstance happened when
the man was arrested. The
deputy had the hand-cuffs on
him and then searched him for
weapons. Later he took him
to his meal and removed the
bracelets so he could eat. At
this time the fellow put his
hand in his coat and drew out a
big automatic revolver and laid
it on the table with the words:
Here boys, I'll show you I'm
not a bad fellow" But there
was a frightened looking dep.
uty for a few minutes.

Sudden Death Of Mrs. c. A. Pore.

Omemee Herald: The
community was shocked
Monday morning on learning
of the death of Mrs. G.. A.
Pope. She was in good health
on Sunday when she came to
town with Mr.. Pope to attend
public worship and Sunday
school. But early in the after
noon she suddenly gave way to
an intense pain in her head,
which continued to grow more
and more severe till a little
after the midnight hour her
spirit fled. Death was caused
by cerebral hemorrhage.
Her sudden death is not only
a sad blow to her husband,
children and relatives, but it
has cast a gloom over the COM
munity.
Mrs. Pope's maiden name
Marlamma Amanda Nichol.
She was the elder daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Nichol of
Marseilles, Illinois, where she
was born April 5, 1857. There
she lived at her parental home
till reaching the age of young
womanhood, when, in 1876, the
family removed to Perry, Iowa.
On June 20, 1882, she was
united in marriage with Ches-
ter A. Pope of Odell, Illinois,
where they resided till their
removal to Minneapolis and
later on to Renville, Minnesota.
They came to Bottineau county
about six years ago and located
on farm they bought three
miles west of Omemee. To Mr..
and Mrs. Pope were born four
children: Prof. Merritt A. of
the Mayville Normal, Mrs. G.
H. Countryman of Minneapolis,
and Chester Alison and Wini-
fred Harriet, who are still at
home. Mrs. Pope's aged moth
er, Mrs. Nichol, her younger
sister, Mrs. +. O. Gold of Min
neapolis, and her brother, J. E.
Nichol of VanWert, Iowa, still,
remain to share in the grief
with her husband and children.
The funeral was held at the
Methodist church yesterday
forenoon, Rev. Cave, assisted
by Rev. Cunningham of Glen
burn, conducting services. The
services were impressive and
the floral tributes very beauti-
full.
The Herald joins with the
people of this community in
extending heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved husband, child
rem and relatives.

When the Book of the Wars of Men is done
And the story is truly penned
From the yelowing page of the tale begun
To the chapter that holds The End---
When the uumpets of peace the world around
Have b1ent in a chorus grand,
And the battle flag shall no more be found
AS shadow above the land;
Will we keep the Book of the Wars of Men
In high and an honored place,
That our childrens sons may be thrilled again
With the stories their eyes may trace2
Will we cherish the book in faithful pride
That men of a future age
May acquaint themselves with the ones who died
That the volume might have page?
VIII the Book of the Wars of Men tell truth7
Will it nainge the songs and cheers
With the sacrifice of the beardless youth
And the dew of mothers tears?
Will it blazon in gold the noble deed
That won forgotten fame?
Will it tell of the gripe of ceaseless greed
That has wrought for nations shame?
Till the Weakening of the world,
Till the banners that tell of scorns and hates
in the glory of peace are furled-
Will we keep it to tell of the rolling drum
And the peals that the fifers know,
Or to speak to the men of the days to come
Of the way that they must not 60?
