SUNSHINE INTO
NIGHT

Sixty hours of happy welded
life and then deep. sorrow is what
mysterious Fate presented to
Frank Kuntz. a prosperous young
farmer of Starkwcathcr. who had
just returned from Minneapolis
where he was married to Miss
Ida Grimsdalc also of Stark
. weather.
The bride attempted to start
the fire in the kitchen of their
little new farm home last night
by throwing oil into the stove.
1t vas the same old story-the
oil happened to be gasoline and a
terrific explosion followed.
In an instant Mrs. Kuntz was
envelopcd in flames. Her screams
attracted the attention of her
husband who was IL short dis
lance from the house. He rushed
into the house. seized a blanket
and threw it about his bride.
AS quickly as possible the
young woman was hurried to IA
hospital in Devils Lake. whore
she was attended by physicians.
She was so badly burned, how
ever. that nothing could be done
to save her life and at 5 o'clock
this morning she died.

WHERE IS ALLEN
Did James Allen of Sheldon Take
Passage on tho Titanicn.

Sheldon. y. D., April 30.-Did
James Allen take passage from Ire
land on the Inflated Titanic. and go
down with her to a watery grave?
There is a possibility that he did and
the matter is being eagerly discussed
by his Sheldon friends.
Jim left Sheldon last fall to visit
his aged mother in ireland. Al that
time he stated that he intended to re-
turn some time in April and letters
received indicate thai he expected
to reach this country o nhis return
dictate that he would leave the old
country mt the same time the Titanic
did. and there is a possibility that he
took passage on this boat.
Nothing has been heard from him
since the Titanic disaster and unless
new of him is received soon an in
v~estigation will be started to ascer-
tain if he was aboard the sunken
steamship. If he was. there is little
doubt but what he was drowned as
his name does not appear among the
published list of those who we're res
cued
Mr.. Allen has been q. resident Of
Sheldon for about seven years. hav-
ing been engaged as cement sidewalk
builder and contractor. He has no

garding his fate is felt by his friends.
