HISTORY is LOST
BY DEATH OF NURSE
Sioux Falls, S. D., March 15.-Per-
sons in this city are striving to locate
relatives of Martin Mcmahon, who has
just died in a local hospital of pneu-
monia. The lack Of knowledge as to
she whereabouts of his relatives is due
to a peculiar circumstance About
10 days ago, a few days after being
,alen to the hospital, and when fears
hrst were entertained that he would
die, he gave minute Instructions TIC
Mrs. Inez Hunt, the head nurse, as tc
what should be done in the event OF
his death. 1t is supposed that he told
Mrs. Hunt where his relatives were
and asked that they be notified in case
he died. Mrs. Hunt herself was strick-
en- witt pneumonia and died the latter
part of last week without revealing
to other nurses or to the manage OF
the hospital the nature of the i%nstruc-
lions given her by Mcmahon, so his
friends here are absolutely in the dark
as to where the relatives are located
He came to Sioux Falls from ST. Paul
about five years ago, and up to tho
time Of his sickness and death had
been employed in a local trunk manu-
featuring establishment. Should this
dispatch meet the eye of anyone who.
knows the whereabouts of his relatives
they should at once communicate with
Oscar Sole, of Sioux Falls.

probably 500 of them left. Their only
means of support beyond their own re-
sources Is the weekly benefit of from
$500 to $12 per man, according to the
number in his family, which the West
ern Federation has been paying. Quite
a number of the ~Slavonians in town
own their own homes on Homestake
ground and unless they can make some
disposition of their property, they are
