REV. puDEn's Last LETTER
Before He Leaves Southern Gail.
fornla For Nome
East San Diego, Cal.
April 6, 1915.

Dear Sir:
| should like to write one more
letter before beginning our home
ward journey; for as we shall be
on the wing after leaving here un-
til we reach home, it will be i'm
possible to write.
We are through seeing the
sights in and about San Diego,
and are preparing to leave. 1t was
surprise to us to learn that so
many historic incidents occurred
in this vicinity. All my life l had
heard of the old missions estab-
lished by the Spanish mission
aries in the early days, but new
er had the opportunity to visit one
until last week. We visited the
adobe ruins of the first mission
established in California in July
is, 1859. Here is a grove of old
olive trees and a number of palms
all of which were set out about
the time of the establishment Of
the mission. Parts of the old
adobe fence and the old cactus
fence are still to be seen, and al
so the old we'll, reached by tun-
mel to prevent the Indians from
poisoning the water. The mission
was destroyed by the Indians in
1775, afterwards rebuilt, was US
ed to quarter American soldiers
from 1848 to 1859, after which it
was allowed to fall into decay.
This trip has been one, not on
ly of rest and pleasure, but of in
struction as we'll. After living so
long in an agricultural state, one
cannot help being impressed by
the great variety of fruits pro-
duced here. We have seen oranges
lying as thick upon the ground
as we ever saw the apples in our
boyhood home back in Ohio. Be-
sides this there are lemons, april
cots, peaches, pears, olives,
guaves, loquats, and many other
kinds of fruit. The date palm
grows in abundance, but the CHI
mate will not ripen the fruit.
Naturally what would be of
chief interest to us is the church
life on the coast. We are told that
California has no Sunday law, a
fact which mitigates greatly
against the work of the different
religious organizations. In and
about San Francisco we found
church life at a comparatively low
ebb; but conditions are different
in Southern California. Here
greater interest is shown in re-
ligious matters. This is perhaps
largely due to the fact that South
Lern California is the mecca of
well-to-do eastern families, who
have settled here, and, having
been actively identified with re-
lligious work in the east, they con-
tinue those relations here.
We leave tomorrow for Los
Angeles, where we expect to stop
for few days, paying visit to
Catalina Island, Mt. Lowe, Cans
ton Ostrich Farm, Alligator Farm,
and SO on. Then we expect to
stop on our way home to see the
Grand Canyon Of Arizona. This
is said to be one of the scenic
wonders of the world. Then we
stop for day in Missouri to visit
Mrs. Duden's birthplace and her
mothers grave, which she has not
seen since she was 10 years of
! age. We expect to arrive in Wah-
Ipeton the last week of the month
so can be there for the first
Sunday in May.
Thanking you kindly for your
favors, l remain
Yours sincerely,
ELMER DUDEN.

Heard From nanklnson-Joh1

Gessel of Wyndmere drove to
Wahpeton, Saturday, and crossed
the river to Breckenridge where
he bought big auto load of beer.
He started back home, and while
passing through Wahpeton the
contents of the auto were seized
by Sheriff Budack, acting upon
orders from States Attorney
Forbes, under the statute which
provides that the sheriff may seize
liquors in unusual quantities.
when it is suspected that the stuff
is to be disposed of in an illegal
manner. The sheriff seized and
destroyed the beer, and John re-
turned to Wyndmere a sadder hut
wiser man.-Hankinson News.

WHO OWNS AMMUNITION
FIRED ON BATTLEFIELD?
Question i'm Debated i'm Berlin-Jurists
Claim Wounded Soldier Becames
Possess When struck.

BERLIN May 14-Who owns an
extracted bullet? This question is be-
ing widely debated here. The patient
wants the bullet as a curiosity. The
surgeon likes II to illustrate his sue
cessful operation, especially in lee
turing before students or writing 10
his medical Journal on the subject
\ Judge in Berlin has decided that
wounded soldier has a perfect right
to the bullet that lodged in his body.
because when it reached him, IL was
legally subject to nobOdy's ownership.
The enemy relinquished its ownership
in sending the bullet forth. This
question Of no ownership does not give
the surgeon who extracts the bullet
any right TO it. even If the wounded
soldier at the time should be uncOn-
scious and unable to assert his claim.
Should the surgeon nevertheless re-
tain the bullet extracted by him the
soldier has a good cause for damages
against him.
Other jUrists, however. assert that
the enemy does not lose its ownership
after the firing of the bullet: that am
munitiOn belongs TO the state and not
to individual soldiers. Whoever
comes out victorious in a battle has a
right to all the ammunition that has
been fired and which can he recovered
from the wounded or dead.
