Meets Horrible Fate

Mrs. c. A. Johnson Meets Almost instan-
taneous Death When Tent Burns

the station by rev OF MIS- CLOSEST
friends, who made the burden as light
for him to bear as they could.
The accident has cast gloom over
the entire city and state for that
matter and letters of coincidence have
been pouring in from all corners of
North Dakota. Many parent who
had themselves lost little one, and
who can best sympathize with the
grief stricken parents, have written
touching letters, which no doubht
were bathed in tears.
Delwin the youngest of four child
rem, who would have been three years
of age in December, was marvellous
child. A brighter nor a more popular
little fellow did not live in tho city.
Unusually intelligent for his years,
he was considered remarkable. The
little songs which he 80 often sang
are now stilled forever, but will live
in the fond memories of members Of
his family and his little playmates.
It was but the Sunday before his
death that he was asked to sing his
favorite little song, at the Sun
day school, when the superintend-
ent announced that Delwin Johnson
would sing, II will be a Sunbeam for
Jesus The handsome little fellow
mounted the rostrum. and the organ
list struck up the tune Of that dear
little song. How the child did sing.
Ills clear sweet tones held the audi
ence spell bound and there was the
faintest suspicion of q tremor in his
voice which suggested the thot that
the little child was too pure and inno-
cent to round out an earthly career.
That afternoon at home. he again
sang his little Sunbeam song for
his father. the last time that the
proud parents was to hear those
words from the lips Of his beloved
child. Little Delwin has Joined the
chorus Of the Angels.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock from the Pres
byterian church. Rev. J Rosser Jones
the pastor officiating. The capacity
Of the church was taxed to the very
limit, with relatives and sympathiz-
ing friends. The minister spoke
words of comfort and cheer to the
griefstricken parents and members Of
the FAMILY, and when Miss Alice
Coulter, sang very sweetly. Delwin's
favorite song, "I'll be a Sunbeam for
Jesus" there were tears in the eyes
Of everyone.
The pail bearers were four little
girls, close friends Of the Johnson
children Eileen Bracknev, EdithKnud-
son, Margaret Stewart and Evange-
line Mcconnell.
The little casket was covered with
beautiful floral tributes, and tho re-
mains were laid tenderly to rest in
Rose Hill cemetery.
Just why the All Wise Ruler Of our
destinies should see 1T to gather
to him this little cherub, IL hard to
understand, but the sorrow stricken
loved ones should comfort themselves
with the thot that He doeth all things
well. .-r .-.-

One or the SaQQeSL occurrences tAaI
has even been known in Minot, was
the fate of Delwin, the three year
old baby boy of Hon. and Mrs. G. A.
Johnson, which the little one met In
a burning tent on the Johnson lawn
last Friday afternoon about two
o'clock.
No one will ever know just how
the fire started which resulted so
disastrously, but 1t is certain that
it was purely an accident.
Mrs. r.. B. Chapman Of Buford, with
her little girl. 4 little older than
Delwin, had been visiting at the
johnson home. and the little John
son boy and his playmate went into
Q tent on the lawn ut the rear OF the
johnson lawn to play. The opening
of the tent had been fastened by the
children and according to the story
told by the little Chapman girl, the
mattress upon which little Delwin
was sitting caught fire mysteriously.
Immediately above the mattress was
q shelf of books, and in pulling out
one Of these books, match may
have been ignited and the mattress
which was as dry as finder, was
soon in flames. The little girl ran to
the opening Of the tent and as she
was crawling under the bottom but
ton, she cried to little Delwin to come
also. The little fellow realizing his
perilous situation replied. II can't.
The fire would burn me-"
The little girl ran to the house
and notified Mrs. Johnson Of the fire
and she ran terrified towards the
tent. By the time che arrived, tho top
Of tho tent had caught IRE and fell.
She arrived Just in time to see her
baby boy sitting on the burning
mattress enveloped in flames, with
his arms extended. The poor mother
was unable to do anything for her
loved one.
Death must have come very sudden
~ to little Delwin. The sheet Of
flames, as they fell about the child,
created q shock which must have
made death almost instantaneous.
Passers by ran to the assistance
Of the mother who would have DASH
cd in after the child had she not
been restrained, and by merest
chance her own life was saved. The
IRE department was called out and
the fire was quickly put out. The
charred remains Of the unfortunate
little one were taken from the ruins
within a few moments after the fire
occurred and were carried at once
TO the undertaking establishment.
The accident IL one Of those unfort-
innate affairs that could not have been
averted under the circumstances.
Mr.. johnson had left Minot early
that morning and was at New Rock
ford, N. D.. when he learned by long
distance Of the loss he had sus-
tained. The shock was almost more
than he could bear. He had left his
happy home only that morning and
left the little fellow, for whom he
had such fond hopes, in perfect
health. He arrived In Minot early
Saturday morning and was met at

quested that such appointments be

g Had the board appointed these for
est rangers as requested no hardship or
wrong could have been committed, and
even had a mistake been made it could
have been corrected at will in revoking
the appointments. 1t is to be regretted
that a state board presumably neutral

Of the stockmen, should not only use its
influence against direct benefit, in
dorsed by the leading stockmen of the
state, but characterize itself in such
terms against an honest and wise intent

est service.'
Says Members of the Board
Oppose Compulsory Dipping
Referring to the scabies situation, Mr..
Painter continued:
'sThe state board of stock inspection
commissioners, in spite of all that has
been said and published, did nothing to
stay proceedings until the Colorado Live
Stock association undertook to take up
the drafting of laws that the board has
allowed to remain as useless and uncon-
stitutional. Notwithstanding this fact,
many prominent stockmcn from the
northeastern part Of the state have
sought in the past to have compulsory
dipping declared by the board and duly
enforced. The fact of the matter re-
mains the stock and inspection board
has been composed in part of members
who were opposed to the enforcement of
any compulsory dipping regulation,
either by the United States government
or anyone else, and consequently this
proposed quarantine is the result that
is facing the stockmen now. The rea-
son is twofold, that no greater preva-
lence of scabies exists today, first, the
progressive and sensible stockman is
provided with dipping plants and dips
his cattle regularly every spring from
business standpoint, and such is now
completed in most of the infected areas.
''The settler and homesteader occu-
pying considerable portion of what
once was the infected area and in CON
sequence the cattle used to feed upon
that domain and become exposed have
sequently less cattle has mango. The
local inspectors working under the buf-
eau of animal industry have wherever
they have superintended the dipping
during the past three or four years in
sisted upon the proper immersion, as
well as strength and temperature of the
dip. So in these instances it has done
much to eradicate disease. But when
these cattle have been turned upon the
public domain and mixed with other
cattle not SO treated they became ex-
posed and in many instances contract
ed the disease again. And now it is
sought to condemn the United States
government for undertaking to enforce
a law that the controlling board in
this state admits to have been unable
to enforce after seven years. effort and
seeks to offer as an apology:
First, the impossibility of gathering
all animals in the open range SO they
might be dipped; second, the Indifferent
manner In which some cattlemen dip
their cattle; third, a certain percentage

some time ago that there was to be
no gum-shoeing in this campaign. l

matters. believe the people of the
{ state have right to know what Mr..
Garst proposes to do for them If he
! should be nominated and elected to
the Office of Governor He has been
courageous to say that he desired to
be elected to the Office of Governor
in order that he may sustain our dele
cation in Washington but he does not
say what he proposes to do on his
own account nor for the people OF
| Iowa. ] hardly think the people will
want to take the word of Mr.. Fleming
and Ora Williams as to what they
may expect of Mr. Garst if he be-

they want man who is courageous
enough to outline his own career, to
make his own campaign and not be
