= Fargo friends will very much regret
to hear Of an accident which befell
Rev. Hugh l.. Burleson, former dean
of Gethsemane cathedral, in or near
New York a few days ago. The rev.
erend gentleman slipped either in get
ting on or off a car and broke his
knee cap. He is at his home at Cos
Cob, Conn.,, and it is feared that he
will be obliged to keep to his bed for
several weeks. The accident is very
unfortunate just at this time when as
secretary to the board of missions he
was to lave taken a prominent part
in the triennial convention of the
Episcopal church which is now in ses-
sion at New York. a,-.
At a meeting of the Older boys of
the Congregational church a club was
organized, called the Congo club, and
the following officers were elected:
President, George Dixon; vice presi-
dent, Wesley Morris; secretary. Floyd
Emery; treasurer, Harold Engerud:
supervisor, r. B. Henderson. The
members decided to obtain more mem
bers to the club and a club room was
also procured in the church, which
will be fixed up to suit the needs Of
the club. Dr.. Beard is behind the Or
ganization and the boys will no doubt
make the club q success. The club
plans to pull off several big stunts
during the year and A few of these
will come off in the near future.
