Jewish Colony Near
Wing, North Dakota

To the Forum: An editorial in
The Forum few days ago with re-
gard to Jewish settlers in North Da-
kota attracted my attention because
Of intimate knowledge of the colony
mentioned in central North Dakota
near Wing postoffice. My father
settled there about forty-fve years
ago, and l was born there thirty
years ago, so am able to write a
good deal of historical data con-
corning western and central Dakota.
Under the circumstances I am
compelled to disagree with the
statement that there is still large
colony Of Jews still there. In the
first place there were several hun
dred families who settled on high
rolling plateau several miles back
from the Missouri river, but from
my earliest memories in travelling
through the colony there were

Mrs. N. E. James
Passed Away Early
This M0rnin q
Funeral Tomorrow Aftcynoou-
IuteyMeut Will be IN
Illinois.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Mrs. NJ. c. James, wife of Pro.
fessor James of the State Normal
school, died at an carly hour this
morning of pneumonia, following
an illness of about three weeks
from the grippe. Her death came
as a shock to her friends, as well
as the immediate members of her
family, as it was supposed that she
was rapidly recovering from her
illness.
Owing to the fact that the re-
mains will be taken to the old home
in Swan Creek, Illinois, friends
who wish to call may do so ct the
house between / and 2::30 tonnor-
row afternoon.
At three o'clock the funeral ser
vices will be held at the NJ. E.
church, and Mr.. James will leave
with the body tomorrow evening.
Mrs. James has been a resident
of Valley City for about three years
and in that time had been active in
church and social work, making for
herself a place in the community
which her co-workers say will be
hard to fill. She is survived by two
young children and her husband.

The show windows of the John
D. Gray Department Store pre-
sent a very attractive appearance
this week with its Easter decora-
tions. The big front window with
its pretty lattice work and floral
decorations Of roses and the beauti-
full display cf suits and spring coats
and waists are enough to make the
heart of any woman glad that the
joyous Easter Tide is drawing
near and the time has arrived to
lay aside old winters clumsy gar
ments and get something fresh and
new. The large display Of up-to-
date footgear in the side window
also deserves special mention and
the dainty silks and trimmings
shown.

Mondays Attention
Centered on Sdkdkdwed
Successful Dress Rehearsal Shoes
Strong Entertainment BY
Model School.
tFrcm SATURDAYS Dai'-.)

The entire cast this afternoon
enacted "Sakakawea. the Bird Wo-
man" and miles Standish" the two
dramatizations to be presented by
the Model school pupils in their
annual winter entertainment III the
Normal auditorium on next Mon
da yeve''ing. Those in charge OF
the entertainment are clated over
the success of the pupils in the
dress rehearsal. The wigwams, the
uniforms, the characteristic Indian
yells and the finely executed moe
casin dance, which is under the di-
rection of Miss Ruth Cranz of the
department of physical education
all give the entertainment a real
smack of the pioneer days. In
dians appeal to children, and that
they are willing and extremely in
terested in Indian life is seen from
the excellent effort these young peo-
pie are making. The many Indian
lullabies and songs taught the char,
acters by Miss Anidon will make
the work Of the pupils more appeal,
ing. The work of the pupils is
causing a good deal of comment
among those who will attend.

scarcely dozen families living
there. The land was the best in the
country and the settlers were well
provided with stock and machinery
by the man who did the colonizing.
Nothing was lacking in those days
except facilities, the nearest being
Bismarck on the Northern Pacific
,about forty miles away. Isolation is
what the colony were after but they
ibid not get far enough away and in
Ia few years settlements had not
only reached them but extended far
beyond. I am personally acquaint-
ed now with only one member of
this colony, though there are a few
more still in the country, the others
are doubtless scattered like atoms
in the vast b.,undless universe.
A number of holes in the ground
where cellars had been dug, and a
little city of the dead, marked with
mounds and headstones, testify to
the efforts of an old race to get
back to land on a new continent. If
they did not succeed they did one
thing for which this generation
should be everlasting thankful
they demonstrated by the crops they
raised the limitless prairies of
North Dakota contained untold
wealth in its soil, and that the
wealth could be secured by the use

cap floating in a hole in the ice on
he Missouri at Trenton, near here,
led to the discovery that during the
night driver and his team had

Hansen, and when the dead horses
and the rig were pulled out of the

fort which cost the driver his life

Minneapolis, Mimi. March 10
Former Governor John Burke, OF
North Dakota, before leaving here
Saturday night for Bismarck, re-
ceived a telegraphic confirmation
of his appointment as United

mandan Young Man
Was Instantly Killed
Vas Engaged in Mo0ing House
and Entered Building When
RafterS Looseucd and Fell on
Him, Crushing Skull and Cams-
Ing Instant Death ---Resided i,l
Flasher Ncighborhood.
(Erom Saturdays Daily.)

A. L. Shellhart, aged ~ years
of Mandan, was instantly killed
shortly after noon when rafte7s in
a house he was engaged in NOV
ing on his farm northeast OF
Flasher loosened and fell, striking
him on the head with such force
as to crush the skull.
A. w. Jensen, a ncighboring
farmer, was aiding Shellhart in
moving the house. Something
went wrong with the rollers ana
disregarding Jenson's adrnonition
to be careful he stepped into one
of the rooms of the structure. The
building settled i'll some way and
the rafters were pulled out on one
side, falling and hitting Shellhart
on the head with terrific force.
Jensen was unable to raise the
|tinbcrs alone and secured help
from Mike Bohl, another farmer
|of the neighborhood. 1t was some
time before they were able to re-
|movc the body. The skull was lit
orally smashed, it being terribly
disfgured. Several bones were
crushed in various parts of the
body and there is no doubt that
death came instantly.
The coroncrs Office was notified
but in the absence of that Official
States Attorney Biting took
charge of the case. On invcstiga-
ton it was found that no inquest
was necessary, as the death was
purely accidental.
The remains were prepared for
burial and the funeral services
will probably be held today from
Flasher. His mother survives and
is the only relative in this section.
Christopher G. Shell.nan, father
Of the young man who was will

The father started home befofe the
boy, aud when the latter followed
him was i,orrifed to find his faith
er lying dead in the path between
the two houses. Heart disease,
from which he had never been
troubled before was the cause of
his death.
The sudden death of the father
last year was a shock that the
mother has recovered from and
the tragic death of her only son,
following but shortly after, is a
horrible blow. Her condition is
reported to be serious.

Legislative .Stenograbhey alleged
To Haze disappeared With
a Mackine.

That the police in an eastern city
may grab a dasl,ing stenograpter
who cut quite a cash in the pro-
proceedings oft late session OF
the legislature and yank her back
here on extradition papers, is the
summation Of a story the plot OF
which was laid in Bismarck during
the past two months, for it is
charged that she had a brand new
typewriter and made way with il
on No. 2 Tuesday night.
The Tribune will not mention
her name but in all probability the
public will not have to do a great
deal of guessing in order to arrive
at some safe conclusion who the
fair damsel is. It seems that be-
fore leaving town she called upon
the clerk in one of the hotels in
this city and asked for the machine
which had been consigned by the l.
c. Smith Typewriter company to
their agent M. J. Fullerton Of this
city, giving her receipt for it. She
claimed, so it is stated, that she was
going to take it over to her board
ing house to do some work. When
Tuesday arrived she had young
man get her ticket, which read Ko-
komo, Ind. Just before No. 2 ar
rived she took the typewriter in a
hack and went to the depot, gave
a fellow rs cents to help her on with
the mil! and took it into the sleeper
with her.
Mr.. Fullerton discovered the
theft too late to catch her but wired
the home Office of the getaway
and he says he will have the ma.
chine and her too, if it costs the
price of 500 typewriters.
At the opening of the legisla.
ture this party appeared on the
scene and secured a position in
connection with the legislature. She
soon had a string of admirers as
long as from here to there. She
was a dasher right off the bat, at.
tended parties of various kinds, and
several of her sweethearts got or
