 Last Saturday morning there occurred at the camp of Company Nj. Fourth Regiment United States Cavalry, stationed at Nogales, a shocking accident by which Private John McLure lost his life. A oomrade, Private Freeman V. Cur rie, was cleaning an automatic pistol when a cartridge exploded the ball passing into the mouth of McLure, who was standing near by, and passed thhrough his head traversing the base of the brain and killing him instantly.
 The remains were embalmed enclosed in a metallic casket and shipped on Wednesday morning to the nome of the deceased at Will liamston, North Carolina.
 The unfortunate soldier, whose tragic demise is thus chronicled was a young man, and a recruit, having joined the troop but a couple of months ago. He was liked we'll and held in high esteem by both officers and enlisted men in the troop.
 
 The following is more concise account handed in by an officer of the troop since the foregoing was in type:
 A sad accident occurred at the camp of Troop M 4th Cavalry last Saturday morning when Private John Mcclure was shot and in stantly killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol in the hands of a companion.
 The troopers were preparing for the regular Saturday morning in spection, putting their arms in order, and Currie had been on mounted patrol the night before and had carried his pistol loaded He returned to camp about LOO n. and being tired and sleepy threw off his belt and pistol and went to sleep without taking the shells out of his pistol. As he drew it from the holster to clean it, i was accidentally discharged, killing Private Mcclure instantly.
 The two troopers were chums ol "bunkies" as they have it. Currit is grief stricken over the sad affai and the whole troop is very sad a the untimely loss of one of thei number.
 Private McLure had been in tn, troop but two months. His hom, was in Williamson, North Caro lima, where he is survived by |; widowed mother and a younge brother and sister. During hi brief military career Mcclure ha, won the affection of his comrade and the respect of his officers. H. was young man of excellen habits and had already showed promise of being an excellen soldier.
 The remains were shipped to hi home on Wednesday morning Rev Longacre conducted the ser vice at the Mortuary chapel. Tn body was attended by an escort 0 honor consisting of a corporal an, eight privates. All of the officer and trOpnaro o otfan1a1 tha fppnro

COLLEGE,
ON THE LIST
AGAIN
U. N. D. and F. c. Official.
Hold Peace Conference
Two Games Scheduled

1t was announced today that two
basketball games have been scheduled
between the University of North Da-
kota and the Fargo college Quints,
the first to take place on February
~ at Fargo and the second to be play
ed in this city on March 10.
Manager Louis Engerud of the Far
so college five was in the city Friday
and, after a conference with Profess
sor Chandler and Manager Karl
Schmidt. the two games were sched-
uled.
While relations have never been
formally broken with the C%ongrega-
uonalists, ever since that memorable
football game at Fargo in 1910. the
two institutions have had nothing to
do with each other in athletic events
OF any kind. Both colleges have fall
ed to seek games with the other.
Just what the outcome of the
scheduling of the games will be is
unknown. 1t is probable that games
in other branches of athletics may be
scheduled between the two institu-
tons. although at the present time
nothing other than the two basket
ball games have been talked over b.
the peace conference"
A written contract has been signed
by both parties and the first game
will be looked forward to with inter-
est.

DICKENS AS
PRINCE Of THE
N0vEL|STS
Prof .Perrott, in Convocation
Address, Points to His
Mastery

Prof. George st. John Perrott was
the speaker at the University
ton this morning in the gymnasium.
He is a Dickens specialist and he talk
ed on Charles Dickens and his works.
Prof. Perrott said he considered Dick
ems 1.-The prince OF English novelists."
The wizard who invests with an alb
Isorhing interest the commonplace, ev-
eryday subjects and characters We find
In his works. He is Thoroughly in
characters-the children of his imagin-
ation-really lived for him. Dickens
dearly loved his good characters and
despised and hated his bad ones. NO
intelligent reader can deny that he felt
what he wrote n makes us feel it
100: that his characters We're surpris-
ingly real to him and consequently to
us also. The tone of tender pathos
prevalent in some Of his pages, would
be impossible otherwise.
A a man Dickens of course had
his faults. He was self willed and in
tolerant. With all his generosity and
noblemindedness Dickens was of a
exacting disposition at home. He
:craved for a quick responsive intui-
tive sympathy that could share with
him his delight in his world of fancy
and tdealization and this he seemed
unable to obtain in his home life.
In almost all his longer tales,
Dickens had a distinct purpose in view.
The success of Charles Dickens is abb
solutely ~unequalled in the history of
English fiction. At the height of his
popularity Sir Walter Scott was not
so popular.
Should Homer Memory
Dickens died AZ years ago, he was
born one hundred years ago.. This is
the Dickens centenary year. Much
be done; much surely will be
done this year to honor the memory Of
n to whom we 1--WE SO much, one
characters have become real per
.sonages to us; n whose words we can
confidently quote. without mention
ing the author: one who has influenced
more lives than it. falls to the lot of
most mel to influence: one who by the
truth and beauty. and by the uplifting
power of his compositions, has charm
ed and profited millions of readers.
Should Preserve Works
Prof. Perrott said in conclusion
that "he had heard it seriously pro-
posed h a the works of Charles Dick
ems should be translated into imper-
'ishable Greek and Latin. in order that
they may be read and enjoyed in ages
to come. when the English language
as we know and speak it now, is no
longer spoken"
Prof. Vernon P. Squires presided this
morning and a very pleasing feature
of the program was the solo sung by
Miss Irma Mallory.
