"EuR0PEAN SITUATION"
Famous Newspaper Man, Lecturer and
, 0Iobs.Trottsr, Defends Germans
- In 0lganilo War

Ger Stromme, we'll known
in spaper and lecture cir
cles i.sS@orth Dakota, spoke at
the opera house Tuesday eve
ming to a fair sized audience.
Mr.. Stromme's subject was
the European Situation.' He
spoke of-or rather in defense
of-the German empire in the
present gigantic war. Mr..
Stromme is noted globe-trot-
ter, having travelled around
the world twice and visited
every civilized county in the
world except Greece. He en-
phatically denied the stories of
German atrocities and charact-
erized some of them as being
absurd. From his point Of
view the war is a long ways
from being over if the end de-
pends on the resources of the
countries engaged. Being
pro. German in his views, Mr..
Stromme naturally landed the
German character and discip-
line.
Mr.. StrOmme is a we'll in
formed man and this, coupled
with his good com nand Of
language, made his talk very
instructive, although while he
merely expressed his opinion
it can hardly be said that the
audience was in sympathy with
him.

MEETS Death
BY EXPLOSION
Uses Kerosene on Fire While
Getting Dinner, Two Months
Old Baby Burned.

One of the saddest accidents
that has ever happened in this
county occurred last Monday
about noon in the Little Fargo
neighborhood northwest of
Willow CITY, when the wife
and two-month old daughter
of Hermidas Narchand,
prominent farmer, received
such terrible burns that the
lady died the next morning and
the babe Thursday.
Mrs. Narchand was prepar-
ing the mid day meal and in
an effort to hurry the fire used
Kerosene. The oil caused an
explosion which not only ignit-
ed the womans clothing but
set fire to the kitchen. The
mother grabbed her baby and
ran from the house. She sue
ceeded in smothering most of
the flames but not before she
was fearfully burned about the
head and upper part of her
BODY. The baby had been SO
tightly Claspcd to the mothers
breast that it was not as badly
burned as might be expected
but at no time was there any
hope held out for it's recovery.
Mr.. NarChand who was in the
fields at the time and some of
the neighbOrs arrived on the
scene shortly after the explO.
sion but were unable to save
any article of furniture or cloth
ing from the house which was
soon reduced to a heap of
ashes. Two other young child
rem playing about the house
escaped unharmed.
Albina Yendon, daughter of
Mrs. Napoleon Fontaine of Lit
tie Fargo was born in Montreal
thirty years ago and shortly
afterwards came with her
parents to this country. In
early wOmanhOOd she was mar
ried to Hermidas MarChand
and to them were born eight
children. three girls and five
boys, seven of whom are liv-
ing, the eldest a girl of thirteen
years. Mrs. Narchand was an
affeCtionate wife and mother
and held in high esteem by all
her neighbors.
The funeral of mother and
child was attended by people
from all parts of the county
and was held from the Roman
Catholic church at LittleFargo,
Rev. Father Campeau of Viii
