Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-02-28

During the last few days a number
of the prominent citizens of this city
have been the recipients of anony.
nous letters.
The contents of the letters, some
obscene, some humorous, some threat
ening, speak loudly of mind so dis.
eased and so perverted that any
means to accomplish an end are re.
sorted to. The prevailing tendency is
to awaken sympathy for certain can.
didates by the drastic structures laid
upon the recipients unless certain
things are compiled with.
All who have received the letters
have signified their intention to utter
~ ignore them. Possibly an effort will
be made by some to have the writer
brought to the bar of. Justice by the
posta authorities for having dis
patched such forbidden matter through
the United States mails.
One prominent man received q let
ter which cast the most vicious reflec'
tions upon his home life and his fam
lily honor. Also the honor of other
men and women was impugned re-
gardless of position or substantiatine
fact. In another a threat was made to
boycott certain hotel unless the pro
prietor supported certain candidates
for the city commission. Another
made light of all that was honest and
business like in one of the prominent
young men of the city, and called him
uncomfortable names. Still another

written in poor Jingle, was hurled at
the integrity of one of the candidates
for Office. II. -
The tendency has been to disregard
the entire content of the letters. No
man of honest intentions, honest de.
sires for good citizenship, honest
thoughts for his own honor or integ.
rity, or any pride in his own home
and relatives, would be guilty of the
low, degenerate method Of trying to
force public opinion.
The public which has heard of these
letters has in most unmistakable
terms denounced the perpetrators OF
the acts and also denounced the at
tempt to sway public opinion and
electors votes by the underhand, In,
sidious. skulking anonymous letters.
"Who wrote the letters?" is the
query on every tongue. Who would
dare defy the laws of decency, the
state and the nation to attempt to in
fluence a small city election? Who
would have the temerity to utter these
oblcene missives unless his entire
honor is gene or he feels that he il
beyond the reach of the shrewdest Of
the nations officials?
A general feeling Of contempt fol
the writer, OF writer's, is voiced every
, where. All who have said anything
In regard to the letters have stated
their intention to ignore the implica,
! tons in the letters and pass the mat
ter by as If 1t had never happened.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
San Antonio, Texas.-At least thir.
ty-two men were killed and parts OF
their bodies strewn for blocks around
when a big passenger engine in the
Southern Pacific shops blew up here.
The engine stood in q square formed
by the copper house, blacksmith shop
and round house. all OF which were
wrecked. A part Of the locomotive
crashed into a house several blocks
away and seriously hurt q woman.
Twenty OF the bodies have been
identified. but what is believed to be
twenty more is little more than a
tangled mass of fragments of human
flesh and bones that probably never
will be separated.
These fragments were found
jammed into crevices about the build
ing wrecked, in the street and entan-
gled in machinery Of the shops.
Tho shops have been manned for
several weeks by strikebreakers i'm
ported when shopmen Of the Harri-
man lines went out. 1t is believed
most Of the killed are from the North
and East.
It Is believed the explosion was
caused by carelessness of some one Of
the men killed. in allowing cold wa
ter to run into the hot boiler Of the
locomotive. The engine was No. 704
and was practically new. 1t was in
the shops for inspection. 1t was Of
the large mogul type.
Besides the thirty-two believed to
have been killed, fifty persons were
injured. These for the most part were
in remote sections of the buildings
wrecked. for those close to the engine
or in the main parts of the building
either were killed by the blast or
crushed by falling material when the
buildings crumbled. The monetary
loss will be about 100000.
Freaks OF the terrific impact were
many, but one of the most strange is
that the driving wheels of the engine
were not disturbed, while parts Of the
huge locomotive were driven blocks.
The large wheels apparently did not
bulge.

and rcund-shouldered. He had ter

making something Of hit at the

With fast-beating heart he stepped
jauntily from his automobile outside

ing held. The hall porter stepped
backward at the unsightly apparition.
"Great Christopher Columbus!" he
gasped. as he regarded Gussie.

Rev. Stephan Called to Berlin.

The following il clipping from a
paper published in Vandergrift, Pa:
Rev. D. Snyder Stephan Of the First
Reformed Church Of Vandergrift, Pa,
last week received a call from the
Reformed Church of Berlin, Somerset
county, Pa. a. the new position
offers many advantages over this posi-
ton after careful consideration of the
matter, Mr. Stephan has decided to
accept the call and will present his
resignation to the local church on
Saturday.
The Berlin charge consists Of over
300 members, and the church is over
one hundred years old. 1t is also
located at a much higher altitude than
this and thus guarantees a more
healthful climate The congregation
being much greater in number can Of
course afford to pay much larger
salary. The resignation is to take
effect April 4, 1912.
The call came to Mr.. Stephan un-
solicited as he was not candidate for
the position, showing that other con-
gregations desire some of the good
things the local church has been en-
ioying for years.
VanderSrift gives UP reluctantly
this her oldest minister in the service
here, who came here with the organ
ization of the church, twelve years
ago, November last. He is the only
minister this church has ever had
and a. far a. We know his services
have not only been entirely satisfact-
ory to the congregation to which he
has ministered but n has won and
held the confidence, love and respect
of the entire community. He is one
CT the few men who can leave a town
after over twelve years continuous
residence and not leave an enemy be-
hind.
we believe voice the sentiment
OF the community when we say we
are sorry to see him go, but we can
wish him no better luck than the
same success he has ever enjoyed
here. We feel that the Berlin Church
has made no mistake in its choice"
Rev. Mr.. Stephan j. son Of Mrs.
Mary Stephan, John street, and is
well known here where he has many
friends.
