PECULIAR FUNERAL SERVICES -.
OF JAMESTOWN SERV|ANS

ers took pains to see that their oe'
ceased relative had nothing taken
from the grave and being satisfied
on that score, left the cemetery, but
before doing so, performed a libation
ceremonial, intended to show that
the good wishes of the living were
for a pleasant journey for the de
ceased. One of the women of the
family gave a ten cent piece of sill
yer to be placed on the coffin for car
fare, it was said, in case such might
be needed by the dead in some other
land or cline.
The demise of Adam is the first
death that has occurred among the
Servians or Gypsy arrivals, In the
county, and gave the first opportun
ity to learn of the rites of burial
that prevail among those people.
The rites while new and unusual
in this community, are Of the most
ancient origin, extending back into
prehistoric ages, as are shown by
the excavations of rombs and graves
in all lands, civilized and savage
throughout the world.

nual meeting in Fargo yesterday, ap'
nointed three Of its members to do
special field work and report back to
a special meeting of the commission
(which will be called by the president,
Rev. Robt. Payton OF Darlington.
During the late hours Of yesterday
afternoon there was considerable dis
cussion as to conditions on some OF
the "fields' of the state. In Ward
county on the field which includes the
towns of Douglas, Ryder and the VII
cinity OF Plaza, it is hoped to put one
pastor in charge on a certain circuit.
For some time the Methodists and the
Presbyterians have had workers on
this field but it is believed that the
work will lbe done as well with one
man as with two and President Robt.
Patton was appointed to visit the field
to make a thorough first hand investi'
cation and to report back at special
meeting which he will call later
Rev. r. A. Beard of Fargo, was ap~
pointed as special commissioner to
investigate conditions at Aneta and e
port at the special meeting.
Rev. w. H. Matthews. Presbyterian
pastor at Grand Forks, will investi'
gate conditions at Iona and Orr In
Cavalier county and make report at
the special meeting.
In each Of these three fields it is
hoped that the necessary double
work which is now being done, can be
eliminated, and the men who are TAX
en- from the fields will be placed IN
new fields where they are needed.
In other fields which were discussed
yesterday, district superintendent or
field missionaries were instructed to
make fuller investigation and report
at the special meeting.

BEARDED MANIAC II =. -.
KILLS SCHOOLbOY

New York, Jan. IA black
bearded maniac in black SLOUGH hat
drew an automatic pistol this after.
noon and fired five shots into q crowd
of Harlem coasting school boys.
Robert Tomas, six years old, was
shot through the heart and died in
stantly. Arthur Shively, also six
years old, was shot through the left
lung and critically wounded.
The man, whom none of the
frightened youngsters can describe
accurately, shambled of into the
bushes and rocks surrounding the
boys play ground and was soon lost
to sight.
One hundred anc fifty policemen
and a posse of citizens are hunting
for him.
Half hundred children we're
coasting in the woods While group
Of grown ups stood watching the
sport. Among them was the man
with black beard. He drew away
from the crowd and edged up the
side of the hill. Just then down
came little Arthur Shively on his
sled, whooping caution to foot
farers. His sled halted on a bare
spot, and as he stood up the mad
man whipped out his pistol and
fred. The shot vas delivered at
such close range that the boys
sweater was scorched from the flame
The boy shrieked and fell and in the
subsequent excitement everybody ap-
parently thought of the boy and no
body of the black-bearded man, for
he ran off northwards unpursued.
It was some moments before a
policeman arrived and a small boy
tugged him by the coat.
"He's up there" gasped the boy.
"And he's shot another boy" On
the edge of the woods they found
Robert Tomas dead. stragglel4'
brought in reports that they had
heard other shots, five in all.
