Death of Father kaSaI

Fargo, N. d.. Oct. 23.-Father Ed
ward Kasal, 40 years old, Russian
Catholic priest and head OF settle
ment of that people in Dunn county
about twelve miles north of Dickin-
son, was arrested by Deputy Marshall
Mckay of Fargo yesterday on the
charge of opening and OBTAINING
United States mail addressed to his
parishoners. The priest says he did 1t
to preserve their souls. 1t is also
charged that the priest extracted from
letters about $4,000 year for the
last two years and half.
The priest was caught through his
accidental opening of letter, it ds
said, addressed to United States Post
office Inspector George H. Burke Of
Fargo, whose suspicion was aroused
when he did not receive the expected
missive.
Father :Kasal was taken to Dickin-
son yesterday with an exhibit Of 300
letters he is said to have opened. At
a hearing he was released on bail
bound signed by two Russian farmers,
members of his parish.
A letter from Dickinson later gives
an explanation of the alleged viola
tion of the United States laws by Faith
er Kasal north Of that place. The
priest, who is also postmaster, is in
charge of a Russian settlement. Many
of the people Of that vicinity are I'M
familiar with American method; and
customs. The father is evJl more so,
as he has been in this country
only a short time and can scarcely
speak English.
His friends do not attribute any
criminal intent to the priest, merely
his lack of information as to his du-
ties. Whatever offense may be of
only technical nature.

AutOiStS run Wild. /"

The COURIER has several times
warned autoists about driving
through our streets at high speed.
Our warnings seem to have been
unheeded.
We again refer to the matter,
with the comment that somebody
is going to find themselves locked
up in the County Jail on a serious
charge if the fast running through
the BerryvilIe streets, and reckless
turning of corners, is not stopped.
1t is only matter of time until
someone will be killed, and then
the autoist will find himself charged
with either murder or man
slaughter.
a word to the wise should be
sufficient,

Mr.. Mccormick for Bar President,

The papers of the State are
urging the selection of Hon. Mar
shall Mccormick as President of
the Virginia Bar Association, and
the movement meets with our full
approval and encouragement.
While he is a member of the big
legal firm of Mccormick, Henson
& Broun, with offices in Roanoke,
we feel that he is a local man, a. his
home and family are located here.
He is recognized as one of the
ablest lawyers practicing in Vir-
ginia today, and he has a wide
acquaintance all over the State.
We expect to see him elected
President of the Bar Association
with practically no opposition.

Locals Lose 10 Juniors.

The locals lost to the Juniors
last Saturday in Winchester. by 4
score of 6 to l, although the most
regrettable part of the whole affair
was the fact that Catcher Galloway
had his thumb badly split by a foul
tip in the last half of the second
inning and had TO retire. Gallo
ways injury, while not serious
enough to keep him from work,
will keep him out of the game for
a month at least, and greatly
weakens the team, as ne was a

Juniors, worked hard for revenge
for the drubbing the locals gave
him on the previous Tuesday when

their opportunities on the bases.

Mr.. Byrd Has Big Majority

Hon. r. +. Byrd, of Winchester,
was nominated to succeed himself
in the House of Delegates. by a
large majority, over Thomas p.
SpateS.
His reelection as Speaker of the
House of Delegates Is assured. as
there is no very noticeable OPPOSE
ton to him.
The COURIER believes that Mr..
Byrd has made an admirable record
as legislator and a Speaker of
the House of Delegates. and our
prediction of two years ago that
we expect to hear great things
about the work of Mr.. Byrd" has
been fully verified
We also believe that he will do
more for the real advancement of
the interests of the Valley counties
than any Speaker who has proceed
ed him. We want live, energetic.
able men in the Legislature-men
who will keep their eyes and ears
open and learn what the people
desire and should have. And we
