Charles H. Allen Dead.

The Los Angeles Times of Feb.
4th tells of the death of Charles II.
Allen in that city on the evening of
the 1st inst. Charles was the only
son of the late John Fl. Allen and
was born in Princeton about Is years
ago. He left Princeton when a boy
and resided with his parents at
Fergus Falls for number of years :;
later he engaged in the mercantile
business at Black Duck in Beltranli
county. and about five years ago
went to California. Only two men,
bers of the family survive him, Mrs.
Nella Allen Bell of Los Angeles and
Mrs. l.. j. Dobner of st. Paul. Mrs.
r. M. Nicely and Mr.. John W. Could
ing of this place are aunt and uncle
of the deceased. Many of the old
settlers of Princeton will kindly re-
member Charley Allen as a lively,
good-natured boy, and he had host
of friends in Fergus Falls and Bel
trami county who will regret to
learn of his death.
The remains will be cremated and
the ashes brought to Princeton for
interment in the Oak Knoll ceme-
terry alongside those of his father,
mother and sister who have preceded
him to the other shore.
We quote from the paper above
mentioned: ~
"a trip to the desert proved a
long, tortuous ride to death for
Charles II. Allen, well-known club
and business man, who passed away
in the Pacific hospital late Sunday
night, after having been unconscious
many days. Allen, who made his
home at the Los Angeles Athletic
club. went to- the Coachella valley
the first of the year for the benefit
of his health. January l6 he left
for the Car1iso valley, an overland
trip of eighty-five miles, with his
friend, D. G.. McLarty of Thermal,
who drove two teams to do assess
ment work on lands located by him
self and several Los Angeles men.
A third man accompanied them.

ton of the Los Angeles men to 60

perial that he might be brought
quickly to the city, electing to ride
back with McLarty, who arranged a
comfortable bed for him on hay
rack. Within a few hours his condi-
tion became serious and his suffer
ings intense. Finally he lost con-
seriousness and in that condition was
carried sixty miles over the waste
under burning sun. 1t was a
terrible drive for all concerned. On

deemed best to bring him to the
city, but his life could not be saved.

BASKET BALL GAMES
Princeton High School Team Defeats
Elk River at Armory by the
Decisive Score of SO to E.
flora Town Tossers, In a Rough
House Combat, Puts 1t Over
Princeton Village Team.

The Princeton high school basket
ball team scored clean victory over
the Elk River high school at the
armory last Friday night, showing
them under SO to 6. Princeton got
the jump on the visitors and scored
two or three field goals before the
red and white athletes appeared to
get started After this first rush
the Elk River lads settled down to
business and fought hard to hold
down the score, but the team work
of the locals was too much for them,
and time after time the Princeton
tossers took the ball the whole
length of the field and then scored a
basket without having the play
broken up by the visitors. In the
first half Princeton scored eight field
goals, and three fouls called on the
Elk River team Melted the orange
and black three more points, making
their total showing for the first half
10 points. Elk River was unable to
score a field goal during the first half
and their total count came from two
free throws, which gave them two
lone points.
In the second half Princeton went
right into the play just as if they
needed every point to win, and their
rushes swept their opponents off
their feet The Princeton forwards
and center threw basket after
basket, and the guards played such
close defense that the Elk River
forward only got occasional shots at
the Princeton basket, and these from
difficult angles Only once did the
visiting team succeed in dropping
the ball into the home basket, and
this was more or less in the nature
Of g. f1uke. A foul had been called
on one of the Princeton players: and
in attempting the free throw for a
basket the Elk River tosser missed,
but the ball bounced right back into
his hands and he heaved it through
the Princeton basket for the only
field goal scored for Elk River.
Although Umbehocke4 and Mil
brath did the bulk of the scoring it
would be hardly fair to the other
members of the Princeton team to
say these two excelled the others in
floor play. as it was due to the skill
full play of the guards that made
possible the basket shooting of their
teammates. Princeton showed great
improvement in their team play and
basket shooting and bid fair to
develop into a dangerous scoring ma
chine.
Coach Morton refereed the game to
the entire satisfaction of all con-
cerned.
The newly organized roofing bril-
gade OF the local institution of learn
ing was out in force and added to
the gaiety of the occasion by their
systematic and vociferous roofing
Evidently this moral and vocal sup
port had the desired effect upon the
players, for the Princeton team went
into the game with rush and never
let up until the whistle blew for the
final The score, 36 to 6, speaks for
itself.

George w, Harter,

Our good and respected friend, G.
W. Harter, has been gathered to his
fathers. He passed away on Friday,
February 6, at his home in the town
of Princeton, following an attack of
pneumonia, from which he had
suffered for about week. During
the past 10 years Mr.. HarJer had ex-
perienced five attacks of this disease.
Funeral services we're conducted at
the family residence on Sunday
afternoon by Nichol Jardine and the
interment was at Oak Knoll.
George William Harter was born in
Peru, Indiana, on June 3, 1857, and
came to Minnesota with his parents
when 8 years of age. The family
settled in the town Of Princeton,
and Mr.. Harter continued to live on
the old homeste ad-with the ex-
ception of about three years that he
resided in the village of Princeton
to the time of his death. For a
number of years he was one of the
supervisors of Princeton township
and performed his duties faithfully.
He is survived by his wife, one SON.,
Percy L., his mother, and four
grandchildren, all of whom reside in
the town of Princeton.
"Bill" Harter, as he was familiarly
known, was a man of pronounced
ideas, but it must be conceded that
he was invariably in the right. He
was as honest as the day is long and
a man who would stick to friend
through thick and thin. He was in
every way a man-an honorable man
and a good American citizen. We're
there more Bill Harters on this earth
the world would be better. We loved
him and we mourn his departure be.

Currents Of even forty six volts are
dangerous in bathroom. It should be
remembered that currents of feeble in
tensity can produce sudden rise Of
arterial tension capable of causing sud-
den death in person with a weak

High tensions, enabling currents of
four to Eve amperes to pass, have
quite a different effect. They do not
