Valley City. N. D., April iO.-At
the regular meeting of the Valley City
Knights Of Pythias last Wednesday
evening, the question of building a
K. Of P. home vas taken up and the
matter was looked. at from all sides.
AS the meeting progressed and the
different features Of the plan, devel.
Oped the members became quite en-
thusiastic and a motion was made
that committees be appointed and the
good work investigated and be re.
ported on at an early meeting. One
of the features Of the plan, and which
met with much favor, was the INSTR
uting of a boys gymnasium to be
conducted in conjunction with, but
separate from the irregular gymnasium
and club rooms, the same to. be un-
der proper supervision and open for
all of the boys ofsthe city, It would
be a thorough gym, with all neces-
sary paraphernalia, together with
swimming pools, etc. In fact it would
be equally as goods and conducted in
the same manner, as the regular gym.
for the K. of p. members The home
would be modern and ,up-tQ-date in
evory respect and to meet all Of the
requirements of a P.ythian Home.
Reading rooms for the boys, with
proper reading matter for the young
mands would&also be- a6eature of the
venture. Many feel that the time has
come that itkes people of Valley City
should do Agfething for their boys.

Thomas Walsh, the Builder of the first
frame residence constructed in the
city of Grand Forks, a business man
III the Red River valley before the
days of the railroads, died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. ]. B. Wine
man, here, late yesterday.
1t was in 1871 that Thomas Walsh
took up his residence in what is now
Grand Forks. Previous to that, and
from the year Of 1856, he had been a
resident of Henderson, Mimi, where
he served as postmaster under the adj
ministration Of President Johnson.
AS a soldier in the Civil war, enlist
ing in Company |, Tenth Minnesota
infantry, Nh. Walsh participated in
all the battles and skirmishes that
regiment engaged in up to the battle
of Nashville, in which he was wound
ed, resulting in his being laid up for
three months.
Subsequently, he Joined his com
pany at New Orleans, proceeded to
Mobile, and participated in the taking
of the Spanish fort.
Pioneer Of Two States.
The early days Of Minnesota and
the early days Of North Dakota saw
Thomas Walsh as oAe of the leaders.
In politics, in new business enterpris-
es, and in almost every activity that
was undertaken in his district in those
two states, Walsh was always to the
front.
Coming to Grand Forks, it was not
long until he was launched into bust
ness. He was engaged in the lumber
milling and mercantile business four
years, selling out to the Hudson Fay
company. Following this, he engaged
in the real estate business, which he
abandoned within a few years

WOODEN LEG SAVES HIM.
Farmer Escapes Serious Injuries In
Fight With Bear.


Sunbury, Pa.-His wooden leg spared
him severe injuries in battle with a
bear, according to John Dawson, a
Catawissa mountain farmer. who lives
near the town Of that name.
Dawson, according to his story, was
riding horseback along the Susque-
hanna river, which skirts dense noun
tain growths at this point, when he
saw a black bear fishing in the Sus-
duehanna. 1t would dive down and
then come up with a fish in it's mouth,
he said.
Angry at his approach, Bruin drop

son drew his revolver and fired He
missed it, and the animal came on aft
er him and bit and clawed at his
wooden leg. He fired again, and then
a freight train approached on a rail
road near by. This, together with the
footing of the locomotives whistle,
cooled the brute's angry passions, and
1t dropped to its feet and ambled off,
disappearing in the woods.
Trainmen declare they have frequent
ly seen bears in this territory, and the
farmer exhibited a torn pair Of trousers
and lacerated wooden leg to gaping in
