Played Pos.un,

The reported suicide of Miss Lu-
cile Powell Of Wakpala, reported in
the Pioneer last week, was hoax.
Miss Powell has had a love affair
on with a young Wakpala business
man for some time, and as his af-
fections appeared to be on the w1ne
she pulled off a jealous stunt. Leav-
ing note in her room stating that
she had taken poison and gone to
tire creek-to rasie, she iissaai;;s,essreal
Shortly afterward when the note
was found a search was made and
she was discovered on the bank of
the creek in an apparently uncons-
cious condition.
A physician was summoned and
after working over her for some time
concluded she had taken no poison
and was simply playing possum.
Late reports from Wakpala is that
she is again at work in the restau-
rant conducted by her parents.

be told of its advantages and at
fractions, hence the special editions

kota Press Association is not alone

movement, il has shown that it has
the welfare of all at heart.
North Dakota Appreciation Week
should become an annual feature Of
North Dakota life. We should all
know our state better and will all
benefit by bringing in many more
