TEA KETTLE IS
HIDING PLACE

Nalva, ~ D., May 13.-The great
fire that recently swept through the
timber east Of Velva along the Mouse
river left in its wake at least one Pc
! cuiar incident.
Along the path of the fire stood
large sturdy ancient oak, beneath
whose branches many weary trav-
elcr and buffalo hunter had rested
and shielded themselves from the
scorching monday sun in rcstful re-
pose within hearing distance of the
Mouse river waters singing it's an
thcms among the dropping willows in
Its restless progress to the ocean.
This cherished oak with its broad
commanding branches became so bad
~ damaged that its owner, Carl On
fud, recently converted it into fence
posts, and in the body of the tree.
about eight feet above the surface. he
found an old fashioned iron kettle
thoroughly imbedded and encased in
the wood, and entirely covered with
bark, the contents of this recepticle
consisted of $500 in gold pieces in de-
nominations Of IS and $40 and $40 in
the Civil war issue known as shinplas-
ters. This issue is now obslete, was
in the time Of the rebellion made for
convenience. most of which have long
ere this been redeemed.
Mr. Onrud is, of course, at.a loss to
account for this deposit as well as all
others knowing the circumstances.
Encasing this recepticle the wood was
dry and deadencd, which doubtless is
the cause Of the we'll preserved paper
money, and appearances indicate that
a hole in the tree was amply large
enough to admit Of the deposit which
was completely covered with live
bark. Peoule take the impression that
some traveller of long ago was con-
fronted with band of Indians or out
lawsof the white persuasion and hasti
ly placed his treasure in its long hid
ing place, and until that great day
when the immortal ledger is balanced,
perhaps this unfathomed mystery will
continue to be hidden in the night of
time.

Quail in Cavalier County

There has been frequent rumors of
quail along the foot of the mountains,
northeast Of Milton, but we had some
doubts about the matter until last
week, when Hans o. Skrogstad told us
of quail accidentally killed among
a flock of ten or twelve. The bird in
question was of the genuine quail
specie and residents of that section of
the county say that quail is becoming
quite plentiful in that locality. Cav
alier county has always been regarded
as the real home of the northern part
ridge, or ruffled grouse, the canyons
and coulees being inhabited by thou
sands upon thousands of these birds.
Now We have the quail added to our
already abundant game life. Let us
join in the protection and propaga-
tion of these splendid game BIRDS

CANVAS OF EDITORS MADE BY
PUBLISHER OF FATHERLAND
AS TO SENTIMENT ON WAR
POLICY.

New York, May 13.-President Will
sons foreign policy has lost him the
German-American vote, and in the
coming campaign the German" issue
will be a big one, in the opinion of
George Sylvester Viereck, editor of
The Fatherland, who is making a can
vas of all the editors of German news
papers in this country.
The bulk Of the answers from the
editors, shows he says, that in no cir
cumstances would any considerable
part of the 100000 German-Ameri-
can voters support the president We're
he candidate tomorrow.
It is Mr.. Vierreck's opinion that if
the Republicans nominate a candidate
of type the poet-editor describes as
"entirely NEUTRAL" most Of this vote
would be cast for him.
Mr.. Vierreck has submitted to the
six hundred publications in the United
States list of questions, asking their
attitude toward President Wilson and
designed to reflect the opinion of their
readers. Among the queries put were:
Were you a supporter of Wilson in
1912?
Do you think the president has hon.
estly endeavored to preserve neutral
ity between this country and Germany
and to protect the interests of the
United States in the present great in
ternational crisis?
If so, do you think he has succeed
ed?
! Would you support President Viii.
son if an election were to take place al
this time?
Will you support him in 1916, unless
there is a decided change in his poll
cies?

RAINBOW K|MONA
GRAND CUCCESS
CLEVER COMEDY UNDER DIREC-
TION OF MISS CATHRINE DEG
NAN SCORED A HIT,

The new auditorium of St. Joseph's
church was filled to the limit last
Thursday evening to witness that pop
ular college play, "The Rainbow XII
mona, which was put on by local tai
ent.
The cast had been rehearsing for
some time under the supervision of
Miss Cathrine Degnan, and every
member had her roll we'll in hand, and
there was not a lull in the play from
start to finish.
Miss Beatrice LeDuc, impersonating
the impish colored girl, ever on the
job, took her part we'll and furnished
considerable amusement, winning the
hearty applause of the audience.
The following young ladies took
part and while it would take too much
space to give each one the mention
deserved, suffice to say that they all
acquitted themselves with much cred
it. Misses Gertrude Reardon, Clara
Rutten, Theresa Chisholm, Marie o.
Brien, Aloysia Belford, Leah Nieman
Rebecca Lambert and Beatrice LeDuc
The special scenery was designed by
Miss Degnan, also the arrangement oil
stage and properties.
Besides the comedy the entertain.
ment included a violin solo of merit by
Master Reuben Rutten, accompanied
by his sister, Miss Clara. Also Miss
Dorothy Walters, the we'll known pi
anist, played a solo. Mrs. ]. A. Mo
ran, who needs no introduction to {
Lake Region audience, sang two Sc
lect solos, "Carrissima" and "Rose il
the Bud" Mrs. S. M. Sterritt, anoth
er Lake Region vocalist, rendered
Chisholm's "Slumber Song". The so
loists were accompanied by Mis-
May1ne Huesgen. Miss Cathrine Deg
nan recited "Mary Queen of Scots" il
a manner which impressed the aud
ience that she was an elocutionist a.
we'll as a directress.
At the close of the performance MI
M. H. Brennan, one of the pionee
members of st. Joseph's church mad
a short address, the substance o
which was that entertainments of thi
kind should be encouraged.
The young people of the congrega
tion proved their dramatic ability a
was evidenced by the large and ap
preciative audience. From ever,
standpoint the play as we'll as the bal
ance of the entertainment was sue
cess, and much credit is due those VIII
had the matter in charge.

Hendrickson Out Again

Last week the friends of John Hen
Erickson, the prominent implement
dealer, were much pleased to see him
about again. Mr.. Hendrickson made
two or three trips down town last
week in an automobile. Last week
was the first time he had been down
town in over three months and most of
that time he has been confined to his
bed. The accident which nearly cost
him his life occurred January 18th,
when oil with which he was lighting
fire exploded, seriously burning him
about the hands, arms and lower
limbs -Starkweather Times.

her neck and then to the bed post and
indications were that she had been
strangled to death, while her hands
were tightly tied behind her. There
was blood spattered about the bed,
and there is possibility that she was
either killed or made unconscious be-
fore she was finally strangled to death.
Huddled close to her dead body was
the little ten months old child, who lit
tie realized the terrible tragedy, or the
fact that her mother was dead. It
was certainly pitiful sight. At the
barn where the other two bodies were
found, the Hanley boy lay on his back,
as though he had been laid there by
Herman, and it appeared that he had
been struck in the face, and the plain
marks Of rope or strap about his
neck showed plainly that he also had
been strangled. Indications showed
that he had killed his wife and then
the boy, and after laying the boy down
used the same strap to hang himself.
Mrs. Herman is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Mestal of Ipswich, s.
D., and also sister Of Mrs. Frank
Axtman, who lives in this city. The
parents arrived here Monday and are
heartbroken over the sad tragedy.
Monday evening a Coroner's inquest
was held, John Mclean, J. H. Bloom
and Herman Huesgen setting as a
jury, and after hearing the testimony
ofseveral witnesses the verdict render
ed was that Mrs. Herman and Roy
Hanley met their death at the hands
of Alex Herman, being stranglee
while he was temporarily insane, anc
that he met his death by his own hane
by strangulation, while also insane.
The funeral was held was held from
st. Joseph's Catholic church in thi'
city yesterday morning at 900, ane
the remains were laid to rest in th'
Catholic cemetery near the city.
It was a terrible tragedy, and tn,
shock to the whole community wa!
such that it will take some time t,
overcome.

ALEX HERMAN KILLS WIFE AND
ROY HANLEY AND COMMITS
SUICIDE. INFANT CHILD ONLY
ONE SPARED.

One of the most shocking crimes in
the history of the county occurred
some time during Saturday night last
at the F. H. Hyland farm northeast of
the city, when Alex Herman murdered
his wife and the little son of w. H.
Hanley, apparently killing both by
hanging and then hung himself. Her
man was young man and had been
married less than two years and last
August a child was born, and is now
about ten months old. Before their
marriage he and his wife, formerly
Miss Mestal both worked at the Mercy
hospital and were married there. At
ter their marriage Herman secured an
outfit and rented the farm Of Senator
F. H. Hyland, about three miles from
the city, and it was here that the ter
rible crime was committed.
Herman was hard working fellow
and his wife was fine young woman,
who had the respect of all who knew
her, and from reports they got along
well together, and the motive for his
act can only be traced to sudden in
sanity.
He was in the city in the afternoon
of Saturday and left for home in the
evening, and it was stated that he re-
turned to the city after getting part
way home,, and later on his road
home he stopped at the Ernest Gum
farm, which is between the city and
his home and at that time he seemed
to be perfectly rational and talked of
farm matters and made arrangement
for some seed which he was to get OF
Mr.. Gum.
Sunday forenoon Senator Hyland in
company with Frank Tracy autoed out
to the farm to see how things were
coming along and not seeing any ap.
parent stir about opened the barn doc,
and the terrible sight that met their
gaze was the lifeless body of little
Roy Hanley laying behind the horses
and Herman partially suspended by q
harness line and his feet on the
ground was also dead. They next
went to the house and looked in at one
of the windows and there saw Mrs
Herman in her night clothes also
dead. They returned to the city ant
secured a physician and others anc
went to the farm and after investiga
tion they found things in terrible
condition. From appearance it seems
that Mrs. Herman had gotten supper
and her and the little Hanley boy, wht
was staying at this place had eater
and prepared for bed, and possibl!
were asleep when Herman returned
home. The table was still standing
and the place waiting for him did no
show that he had eaten any supper
but he apparently had started to g
to bed as one shoe and stocking ha,
been removed, but later the shoe ha'
been put on without the stocking O.
lacing up. On the floor in the littl
bed room lay Mrs. Herman. Piece
of clothing had been made into sor
