THE M ESSlAH

The Brookings Choral Union gave
the second annual performance of the
Messiah in the college auditorium Fri
day evening, under the direction of
Dean Hedge. They were ably assisted
by the college orchestra which was
led by Prof. Christensen.
The chorus work vas even better
than last year and many new beauties
were unfolded. The intricate Cali Ye
Like Sheep" surpassed in accuracy
and beauty many of the easier Choir
uses. 1t may be said that considering
it's age and limited experience the
work of the chorus is little short of
marvellous. Their work of Friday even
ing might well be the envy of many a
chorus of greater resources and ex.
perience.
Mr.. Hedge again performed the
double task of tenor soloist and con-
ductor and both with equal satisfac-
ton. His rendition of Comfort Ye"

STOCK MEETING AT MITCHELL

Prof. J. ". Wilson, secretary of the
South Dakota Improved Live Stock
and Poultry Breeders Association,
tells us that the annual meeting of the
association will be held at Mitchell
the last week in January. The object
of this convention is the betterment of
live stock and poultry of all kinds
within the state. 1t is the largest of
its kind and probably there is more
good done during this week for the
protection of new wealth in South
Dakota than through any other asso'
citation in the state. The program will
begin on Tuesday evening, January
26th this year. On Wednesday even
ing a joint program will be held with
the Corn and Grain Growers and the
State Poultry Breeders Associations
The forenoons Of each day will be oc-
cupied in becoming acquainted. Every
breeder In South Dakota ought to ar.
range to attend these meetings

Mr.. Holmquist, basso, was heartily

G. J. Flittie presented a request from
those back of the skating rink asking
for a donation of $50 and upon motion

at the corner of North street and North
Winooski avenue was destroyed by fire
early yesterday morning. is in a serious
condition from the effects OF inhalng
smoke He was IN the hnhit of sleeping
ia the store and Knew noaE-ing about the
fire until awakened by it. Although
nearly suffoeated, he managed to get
out and awake Assistant Chief Stock
well, who lives near by He then fell
unconscious. He remained in that state
until late yesterday afternoon, when he
revived sufficiently TO be taken to the
home OF friends. His condition is Sc
rious because the presence OF so much
smoke in his lungs viii tend to produce
pneumonia.
The loss by fire is estimated at about
81 900. divided evenly between contents
and damage to the building There was
insurance of $1,000 on the building and
81 900 on contents and fixtures. Mr.

NOT KNOWN IN BURLINGTON.
Man Who Committed Suicide in Spring
field, Mass, Claimed Home There.

Burlington, Jan. 23.--Another human
derelict, whose only known address was
the planet earth, but whose death re-
vealed the fact that he was once in Bur
lington, was reported In letter to Chief
of Police Russell from Chief w. j. Guilty
of Springfield Mass, yesterday. The
communication stated that man whose
name was George Edgerton had commit
ted suicide at the Rescue mission at
Springfield and that the only further
clue to his identity was a mark on his
coat which indicated that it was pur-
chased of "The American Clothing Co.,
corner of Church and Cherry streets"
The stranger ended his life at the mis-
sion Sunday morning.
He was described as a man of about
go years of age, five feet nine inches
tall bald and gray mustache. He wore
gray trousers and fine checked coat.
In his pocket was program of the serv-
ice of the First Baptist church at Bel
lows Falls for Sunday, Dec. IA, 1918,
and a piece of paper on which Were writ
ten four stanzas of poetry. One was
the familiar church hymn, Dare TO Do
Right" another was a verse from Long
fellows Psalm of Life" and the other
two were not so familiar but all were
evidence that the writer took very
hopeful view of life.
The police department made an inves-
tigation but found that nobody named
George Edgerton was resident of this
city at present, although it was ascer-
tanned that a George Edgerton had lived
here last fall and worked for the trac-
tion company, his residence being Char
Iotte. A telephone message to that town
revealed the fact that Mr.. Edgerton was
alive and in good health. The theory
is advanced that the Springfield suicide,
was probably tramp and the clothing
was given to him. The clerk at the
American Clothing company reeollected
selling a suit to a man who said he was
going to North Carolina.
The letter from Springfield also en-
closed photograph of Edgerton but no.
body in Burlington to whom it has been
shown recognizes it as any person who
has ever lived here.

WILSON'S RIGHTS CONTESTED.
In 90 Acres of Land in Southern Califor.
mia Decided BY His Wife.

Los Angeles, Jan. 23-Sixty acres of
date land in the Coachella valley, in
Southern California, decided to President
Wilson by bis wife, was brought into
contest yesterday in complicated pro-
ceeding before the registrar and receiv-
er of the United States land office here.
Two persons claim the land, the presi-
dent of the United States and Homer
l.. Goddard, a date planter. Three en-
tries were filed on it.
The contest was brought by John T..
King, rancher, who sold the land to
Mrs. Margaret Axson Elliott. sister of
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and wife of Ed
ward Elliott, former dean of Princeton
university, now resident of Berkeley,
California. Mrs. Elliott sold the prop
erty to Mrs. Wilson and the presidents
wife in turn decided it to the president
King brought the contest, which
hinges on faulty publication of a
notice on fling, because as the seller of
the land she guaranteed title.
If Kings contest is successful the
president will remain owner.
The land lies in the region of the Sal
ton Sea and is 100 feet below ocean level.
King paid the state of California about
500 for it in 1909.
For the supposedly final title to the
land Mrs Margaret Axson Elliott paid
King $1,000. She Immediately sold the
60 acres to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson for
SO. 900.

ANOTHER STUDENT TRAGEDY.
University of Pennsylvania Young Man
Shot Himself.

Philadelphia, Jan. 23.--The second
tragic death within week among stu
dents of the University of Pennsylvania
was reported yesterday when the body
of Wardwell Townsley, third year stu
dent in the department of architecture,
was found with bullet in the brain
near the golf links of the Merton Cricket
club. A revolver recently purchased by
the dead man lay at his side and the
Delaware county authorities, after an in
vestigation, reported that he committed
suicide.
Townsley was member of the Psi
Upsilon fraternity and took prominent
part in the productions of the Mask &
Wig club and was the author of the
preliminary show given by the club last
fall. No reason why the young man
should desire to take his life could be
given by his family or fellow students.
He was % years old and lived in Phil
adelphia.
Last Saturday morning Addison Hart
ley Mccullough, sophomore in the
Wharton school, whose home was in
Pittsburg, was drowned in the Delaware
river. The coronePs jury gave an open
yerdlct.
According to associates of Townsley,
he and Mccullough were close friends,
and the latter's death so affected him
that he became melancholy. The two
students, it was said, had arranged to
sail together last Monday for Germany.
Townsley left a note addressed to his
father, in which he asked forgiveness
for his act, but giving no reason for
taking his life.

DEATH OF ELGIN ]. GALE.
Former Resident of Barre and Once Pro-
prietor of City Hotel.

Elgin j. Gale, formerly of Barre and
at one time proprietor of the City ho-
tel, died at his home in Melrose, Mass,

ceiyed by his brother, Clarence A. Gale
of Montpelier. No further particulars
were given, but it is known that he
was taken i'll last Sunday. 1t was sup
posed by his relatives hereabouts that
he was getting along well, so the news
of his death comes as a great shock
Elgin j. Gale was born in Barre on
Sept. 7, 1850, the son of Lewis and Lu-
cinda (Pettingill) Gale, his birthplace

ing for six years.
In 1878 Mr.. Gale bought a livery sta
bic OF John Jones on Main street and
after conducting the business there for
few months he moved the business to
Depot square. In 1883 he bought the
land and erected new stable, but in
1887 he sold the stable and removed to
Montpelier, where he was engaged in
the manufacturing OF watch keys. Two
years later he came back to Barre and
engaged for time in the livery bust
ness, then entering the hotel business.
He for some years conducted the City
hotel property, which was partially
burned this morning. After leaving that,
he built the Gulf house in Williams
town Gulf, the building which was re-
Gently razed TO the ground by the new
owner, Harry Daniels
Twelve years ago Mr. Gale removed
to Brookline, Mass, and thence to Mel
rose. where he for a time was in the
livery and feed business, being latterly
in hotel in Boston.
On Jan. |, 1872, Mr.. Gale married
Miss Clara A. Hatch of Williamstown,
who survives him, together with three
children, as follows: Mrs. William Luck
EFT OF Melrose Mass, Mrs Ned Wells
OF Enfield. n. H., and Burton +. Gale OF
Melrose. There are also three brothers
and one sister, Clarence A. of Montpelier,
Martin p. of Saginaw, Mich, Burton J..
