Fifty years ago Colonel Alex Scar
lett, then a non-com- officer in the Que
bee Highlanders, was selected with
eleven others to attend the funeral Of
the "Great Lincoln" at Washington, to
represent the Volunteers of Canada.
This company formed portion of
the First Western Administrative Bat
tallion of Volunteers that did duty all
along the western frontier materially
aiding the North in the suppression Of
bounty jumpers, crimps, "skidadlers''
and raiders, who were pests to the
border towns by murder, pillage, loot
ing and robbery and finding refuge
in Canada after their depredations.
For all their aid this regiment was
publicly thanked by the American Sec
retary of war.
Colonel Scarlett says:
eve were given a place of honor in
the funeral procession and received
every courtesy at the hands of the
northern officials. &
In looking back over this half cen
tury of lifetime, find I am the only
man left of the twelve rank and file
to answer the roll call today. All the
others have answered their "last tat
too" and gone across the "Great Di-
vide. Such is life" ..

help the boys and girls of this great
Northwest, he foresaw the need of a
state normal school in this region. He
saw this before any school existed. He
had a vision of development Of this
great region. With a similar keenness
of vision he foresaw better farming,
more productive acres, better homes,
consolidated schools and a happy fam
lily settled upon every quarter section
of this Northwestern Empire. He has
been possessed with keener vision
than the rest and having stood in the
vanguard has led us onward by reason
of his vivid visions and his inspiring
oratory. Like Columbus Of old, his

Bitterness, nearly met death on a
grade short distance this side of Lo-
gan, just after the heavy rain storm,
Sunday, when the Metz car which Bal

over completely twice, landing in a
deep ditch. The car was badly smash

this city and given medical attention
and is as we'll as ever again. Other

TRANSIENT RUN OVER BY TRAIN
WHICH HE WAS ATTEMPTING G
TO BOARD.

Sten kaezur, transient, was killed
at Berthold Sunday morning at o.
clock by being run over by freight
train, No. 401, on the Great Northern.
He lived about fifteen minutes after
the accident. There were no eyewit-
nesses to the accident, but the facts
as brought out before the coroner's
inquest were that he was trying to
board the train and in some manner
fell under it.
Coroner Doe of this city was mott
fiedand went to the scene of the &C
cident, where he empanneled jury
consisting of w. E. Knick, Geo. Tay-
lor and Joe Schunder, all of Berthold,
who, after hearing the evidence, and
viewing the remains, rendered ver-
dict that the deceased came to his
death by falling under freight train
of the Great Northern railway.

The Commencement.

The commencement exercises proper
Tuesday evening were simple, yet
most impressive. The stage was dec
Grated with a single jar of American
Beauty roses.
The class entered two by two to
the strains of the "Soldiers' March"
from Faust, played flawlessly by Mrs.
Simpson, musical instructor, and Miss
Della Christensen The young women
were dressed in pure white, each car
rying an American Beauty rose, the
one young man of the class being seat
ed in the center.
Rev. p w. Erickson invoked the di-
vine blessing and the glee club sang
"When the Birds in the Morn Miss
Mabel Miller appeared at her best
when she sang, can Open Secret"
Dr. Walter D. Cole of Springfield,
O., gave the address of the evening.
1t is not often that a Minot audience
has an opportunity to listen to such a
masterful address as Mr.. Cole gave
Tuesday evening.
One of the closing numbers was a
solo, "Invocation," by Miss Florence
Wilson, with violin obligato by Prof.
Rognlie. This was a most delightful

BACON.

The Mirot men who went to Winona,
Mimi, and landed the big convention
of United Commercial Travellers for
this city for 1916, did great stroke of
business, for this is going to be the
greatest convention of it's kind ever
held here. No less than 1000 dele
gates, and more likely nearly 1900
delegates will attend this convention.
Many other cities were bidding for
the convention, but A. A. Robinson,
the delegate from this city, and w. w.
Tyler, the local secretary. brought
hcme the bacon
They were assisted nightly by Tom
Hughes, the well known Fargo insur-
ance man, who seconded the motion
to give the convention to Minot. He
said that the travellers would have the
greatest time that any city had ever
given them.
Winona treated the visitors fine.
That city has population of $4,000

MAN INJURED
SERIOUS RESULTS FEARED

Mr.. Oscar Simonson, a farmer liv-
ing two miles southwest of Burlington,
met with a painful and possibly Sc
rious injury last week.
AS he was skinning COW that had
died of blackleg the knife slipped and
the blade was buried to the hilt in his
left leg, just above the knee.
Considerable apprehension is felt ov
er the injury because it is feared that
infection may result.
The outcome is being awaited with
much concern by the sufferer and his
friends. AS yet there is no evidence
of infection and Mr.. Simonson is able
to be about on crutches.

presentation was made by Miss lnez
Bager, president of the Normal school
alumni.
The other memorial was the orna-
mental lights in front of the building,
presented by this years class. 1t also
is appropriate, in that it symbolizes
the lighting of the pathway of the
bodies of students yet to come. The
gifts were accepted by President
Crane in a pleasing manner.
The class will by Miss Luella Lar
