Tunes Of Scotland
Played by Blind
Man Bring Tears

A blind man was sitting Sunday
night at the northeast corner OF
Fourteenth and Dodge street, ner-
vously stunning an old guitar. A
crowd quickly gathered to hear his
scant repertoire OF popular songs,
Into the front of the audience big
man elbowed his way. His coat was
torn, his hat ragged and his face was
unshaved.
"Play that Scotch piece, My Bon
ME Jean, will you, friend" the new
conner asked abruptly.
81 sure WILL" said the blind mt
sician Il know what's the matter
with YOU
The big man in the tattered clothes
made no reply. The piece was played
and he dropped IS cents into the
inusic-maker's hat.
Once more the sightless player
went through his repertoire.
Il can't give you nothing for it,
friend, but will you play that Bonnie
Jean song again.
1t was the same, raw-boned man
talking. The blind man started to
comply with the request and the man
who asked for it walked nervously
to the edge of the crowd. The song
finished, he returned to thank the
blind musician. But there were tears
in his eyes and tears in his voice and
he couldn't talk. He reached down
shook the guitar players hand and
walked up Dodge street

Man Until Police
Arrive to Get Him

Brought to bay by revolver in the
hands of a woman, Anon Goldberg
was forced to await the arrival Of
the police, who wanted him on Sc
rious charge. The woman is Mrs.

Minnie Seides, a domestic in the en-
ploy OF Mrs. Simeral, was the victim
OF Goldberg's assault, the police say,
The alleged assault occurred Satur-
day morning when Goldberg, who
used to room at the Nebraska Lodg-
ing house, applied at the Simeral
place for room. Miss Seides
showed him the room, and it was
there the assault is alleged to have
been committed. He Immediately left
the house, but returned in the after
noon. Again he had fed before the
police could get there. Monday after
noon when Goldberg appeared at the
door, Mrs. Simeral leveled a revolver

South Siders Protest a.
On Buying Fairgrounds

Judge Caldwell OF the South Side
informed the city commissioners at
a meeting of the city council, COM
mittee of the whole that residents Of
forty-acre cemetery would not
thank the city officials for establish
ing proposed playground on tract
between Q and R streets, from Twen-
ty-eighth TO Twenty-ninth streets.
A large delegation of South Side
people protested against the plan of
condemning this property and assess
ing the cost against an Improvement
district of comparatively few prop
.erty owners. The ordinance was laid
over six months, as Mayor Dahlman
and Commissioner Hummel held that
it would be advisable to secure leg
islation on the subject this winter and
thus make it possible to pay the cost
out Of the general fund Of the city.

Wants City's Help
On Social Center

Rev. Edmund Silverbrand, pastor of
the Letter Memorial Methodist Epis-
copal church, Albright, has asked the
city council to cooperate in the cs-
Enlistment of social center in the
Mandan park district.
I'VE have the backing and indorse-
ment of the South Side Improvement

social center INSTRUMENTATION in
the best sense said the South Side
minister. 1--WE will keep it open ev-
cry evening and on Sunday, maintain
reading room, have programs and
work for the social and educational
welfare of the community. Several
Roman Catholics are with US on this,
so you see it will be a real commu-
nifty proposition
If legal way may be found to lend
helping hand, the city commission
ers will render assistance in this wor-
thy project.
It is proposed to establish this So
cial center in basement to be built
under the Letter church.
