greatly pleased the large audience.
Miss Katherine Fjelde, prominent
musician of Minneapolis who, ON May
II, last year. played Grieg's concerto in
the auditorium at Minneapolis, fol-
lowed Miss Romsdahl with the four
numbers of the Peer Gynt Suite on
the piano. This was one of the treats
of the programme and carried the au-
dience by storm, Miss Fjelde has an
almost perfect technic and interpreted
the difficult music in a remarkably
clever manner.
Prof. ]. g. Holland gave an address
on Ibsen reviewing his life and analyz-
ing the work of the great Norwegian,
He told of his struggles and his re-
markable accomplishment against
tremendous odds.
Following Professor Hollands ad-

freedom song which was accompanied
by the cadet band.
The programme closed with the

JOHN I. SHELDON
TAKES own LIFE
N. D., FARMER SUI
clDEs IN FARGO ON SUNDAY
MORNING - WIND PIPE SEVER
ED IN FIT or DEsPoNDENcY
! WHILE TAKING LIQUOR CURE.

Seized with a ft of dependency,
possibly brought about by reflection on
his past. John E. Sheldon, farmer Of
Washburn, N. D., cut his throat yes
terday morning while Icunging along
the river bank at the foot of Seventh
avenue south. Pressing into ser
vice knife bearing the pictures of his
wife and two children on the handle
he did the act of self destruction In
such a manner as to leave no doubt
as to the result. The wind pipe was
severed entirely but neither OF the Jug
ular veins were injured From the
nature of the wound IL appears that
Sheldon took two deep gashes from
right to left and how he missed the
blood channels is a mystery. The
muscles of one vein were bruised but
to a very slight extent.
Sheldon came to the city less than
week ago to take the liquor cure
and Is said to have been doing nicely.
Yesterday morning, in company with
two other men from the same lnstitu-
ton, he went down to the woods for
walk, strolling aimlessly along the
river bank
Approaching one of the party, he
asked for a knife with which to clean
his finger nails. Sizing 1t up as it
was handed him, he remarked that it
was no better than one which he had
himself and returned It, 1t appears
that he then strolled off about forty
feet from the party and lying on his
side and stomach, with his back to-
wards the party. no attention was
paid him,
At III O'clock it was time to return.
He was called, but failed to respond
Coming to rouse him. his friends dis
covered that he had taken his own life
In the comparatively short time he had
been apart from the party he accom-
plished the deed, of which the almost
cold-corpse lay as evidence,
The weapon used was an ordinary
sized pocket knife with medium sized
blade. Sheldon appears to be man
about 4s years of age. He appeared
1ovial while In the city. He was sober
at the time and what brought about
| the rash act Is mystery.
Relatives are expected in the city
today to take charge Of the remains
An inquest will be held this evening
at O'clock at the Luger undertaking
parlors where the body now lies.

The Gideons take their name from

Dol, worn on the lapel of the coat. is a
picture Of a pitcher in which a candle
is burning. This is to represent the
pitchers Of the small band of Israelites
who under Gideon overcane a great
host of enemies by the simple plan of
surrounding the camp of the enemy,
each man carrying a candle hid in a
pitcher. At a given signal each man
broke his pitcher and shouted: "The
arm of Gideon and the Lord" and the
enemy. thinking a great host was upon
them, fed in dismay.

cases and make record of the cause

murder mystery on which the author

The Fritz Schumm and John E.
Sheldon cases are classed as suicide,
there beinng no evidence of foul play
in either of the cases in question.
The body of Andrew Saisairis, the
