Word reached friends in this

were out on Lake Upsilon Sunday
evening in canoe and we're only
about twenty feet from the shore
when the canoe upset. The young
man was unable to get his COM
panion to shore and as no men
were near they both drowned. The
bows mother was on the shore at
tho time but as she is very feshy.
weighing over three hundred, she
was unable to lend any assistance
and had to watch her son drown
almost within arms reach. Mr..
Kayle was one of the leading busi-
ness men Of St. John, having been
very successful in the hardware
business. Miss Ksyle has been q
deputy in one Of the county Offices

TEDDY'S WELCOME
HIS HOME COMING TO NORTH DAKOTA
WILL Be A STATE WIDE EVENT
SAYS BISMARCK TRIBUNE

Bismarck Tribune: North Da-
kotans will give Colonel Roosevelt
a warm hearted reception at Fargo
Sept. 9th, irrespective of politics
or other consideration but that of
doing honor to a great public man.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a sort of foster
son of North Dakota. He came
out here when a young man in the
twenties, and went buffalo hunting
out in the valley of the little Mis-
souri, river. Liking the country,
it's freedom, its wildness and it's
wholesomness, he stocked a ranch
with cattle and became in a small
way a ''cattle baron.'' His NAL
tese Cross and Elkhorn brands
were we'll known in the old COW
ranges in the bad lands and the
surrounding country and the presi-
dent to be was not infrequently a
range rider, and member of a
roundup OUTFIT He sold his
cattle interests a number of years
ago, because of the press of bis
affairs in the east, but he has al
ways had a warm spot in his heart
for Dakota, and has manifested his
interest and friendship on many
occasions.
And the people of the state like
Colonel Roosevelt. They like his
courage, his freshness and his
candor, and while not all of them
may agree with him on all public
questions, they believe that his
heart is in the right place and his
desire is for good.
North Dakota is to be congratu-
lated on the homecoming of Colonel
Roosevelt. Fargo will make q
special effort to do him honor, and
the people of the state will join.
