FORMER DICKINSON LADY DIES

Friends and relatives in this city
received word Tuesday evening of the
death of Mrs. M. J. Sohm, recently
of the Dickinson vicinity, having
moved from here with her husband
to Beach last December. Deceased
was married since last August, the
wedding having taken place at the
I. N. Hartung home in this city.
Her parents reside at Mohall, this
state. For a year she was engaged
in teaching in the eastern part of
the state, and last summer was at
tending summer school here. She
was a capable little woman, with a
pleasant and sweet disposition, and
made warm friends everywhere.
Mrs. Hartung hurried to Beach up
on receipt of a telegram Tuesday
calling for her, but the call came too
late and Mrs. Sohm passed away be-
fore Mrs. Hartung's arrival.
1nterment was made from the
Catholic church at Beach Thursday
morning.

man of the committee, called the
meeting to order and stated the pur-
pose of the call, which was to ar
range for a tentative working pro-
gram. Motions were made, seconded
and carried, calling for two special
committees of five members each, to
be appointed by the chairman-the
committee on finance and the COM
mittee on publicity. AS these COM
mittees are of extreme Importance,
Mr.. White though best to defer the
naming for a couple of days. On
Thursday he appointed the following
to act on the finance committee: w.
l.. Richards, DR.. V. H. Stickney, S.
M. Ferris, o. Schwartz and J. F.
Brodie. The second committee is
composed of E. L. Peterson, S. C.
Barnes, John Nadolski, FIR. John Dig
nam and Supt. P. S. Berg.
The publicity committee will be
empowered to appoint sub-com-
mittees to assist in preparing data
for the publicity campaign, which it
is expected will be launched soon.
Decision was also made that seven
members should constitute a main
committee quorum. The main COM
mittee comprises twenty-five men,

MARY ANTIN

"Mary Antin is to speak here in
May. Who is Mary Antin? ?" The
easiest way to find out is to read
"The Promised Land" She wrote
this book and in it tells the story of
who she is-a Jewess, born in Russia,
prosecuted and ostracised, until her
father brought his family to this
country. It is quite fitting that she
| should speak here at an educational
conference, when in this story of her
life she quotes her father as saying
"that it was the proudest moment of
his life when he took his children to
the free public school-in America"
Every Saturday morning a story
hour is held at the Library at 10
o'clock. Stories that delight the
little folks are told to them then
and all children in the third grade
and below are invited.
The Library hours for reading,
reference, study and the circulation
of books are from 200 to $50 in the
afternoon and from TO Otto 900 in
the evening, daily. On Sundays the
Library is open for reading only
from 20 Otto $50 in the afternoon.
The Library appropriation for
books will not permit extensive pur-
chases but requests for books de-
sired are always welcome, and the
books will be taken under considera-
ton and bought if possible.

Librarian.

TH|RTY-0NE KILLED
IN FIRST ENCOUNTER

Ell Paso, Tex, April -Four hun
dred American cavalrymen, under the
command Of Colonel George A. Dodd,
whirling down from the granite slopes
of the great continental divide, have
fallen like a thunderbolt on the main
body of Francisco Villas bandits at
the San Geronimo ranch, scattering
them like chaff in the wind and driv-
ing the bandit chief, wounded and
crippled, to seek a hiding place in the
mountains over which he has ruled for
SO many years.
The bandits made a brief but help
less stand before the fierce charge of
Colonel Dodd and his troopers. Then
they broke and fed, leaving thirty-one
dead O. the field, including their COM
mander, General Eliseo Hernandez.
Two machine guns, a number Of
horses, rifles, ammunition and equip
ment fell into the hands of the ~victors.
Among the known dead is Pablo Lo-
PEI, Villas lieutenant in the Column
bus raid.
The American casualties were four
privates wounded

WRESTLE TO A TIE

Kid Latta, the we'll known North
Dakota welterweight wrestler, met
Kid Bowen of South Dakota in a most
interesting match at the st. Anthony
hall on the South Side Wednesday
evening. The attendance was not
very large, and Bowen, being the
larger mar of the two, offered to
throw Latta twice in one hour for
the entire gate receipts. Latta &C.
copied, but instead of throwing Latta
twice in the required time, he did
not once succeed in pinning the
North Dakota lad to the floor
Neither secured a fall, although both
worked fast and furious from start
to finish.
