Fargo, Sept 1S-Frank Mcdonald
died at St. Johns hospital at 1 o'clock
this morning. The body is under the
care of Undertaken Dougherty of the
Luger parlors.
Lying with his face in the blood
which was slowly flowing from bullet
hole in his temple, the unconscious
form of Frank Mcdonald, night watch
man at the Northern Pacific railway
bridge, was discovered last night at 8
O'Clock in tent on the river bank
north OF the bridge. The case is be-
lieved to be one Of attempted suicide.
An ambulance was called and he
was taken to st. Johns hospital, where
ne was reported to still be in an un-
conscious condition at late hour last
night. That he has. small chances for
recovery is: the opinion of DR.. J. F.
Hanna. S,.,5
"The bullet entered the right temple,
fractured the skull and cut the brain
covering, and, came out. at the top Of
the head" said DR.. Hanna aftets ex-
amining the wound. IF he recovers,
which is doubtful, he will probably be
'paralyzed for life"
The act was committed at $40
o'clock, according to Hiram Rice, who,
together with Mcdonald, has been
guarding the bridge since last June
Mcdonald came to work as usual at
$780," said Mr.. Rice last night, "and
appeared to be feeling all right Then
he went down to the tent, where we
keep our clothes, and went across the
bridge. Ten minutes later heard the
shot, but thought that possibly it was
an automobile tire. l was on the
Moorhead side of the bridge, and a
freight was crossing. An hour later
when l came over on the Fargo side
had forgotten about the shot, until
some kids who were playing down
there came running up and said there
was man lying down in the tent.
went down and found Mcdonald lying
on one side with his face in pool of
blood and lis revolver on the ground
few feet from his right hand. I i'm
mediately closed up the tent and called
the police, who came down with the
ambulance and got him"
After plowing through his skull, the
bullet went out the side of the tent.
1t would appear that Mcdonald was
kneeling when he committed the act,
as the place where the bullet went
through the tent was less than four
feet from the ground. 49,
Mcdonald is widower, 33 year old
and has three children, the oldest be-
ing an 11-year-old girl. Together with
his children he has made his home
with his mother Mrs. M. E. Abbott, at
31S Tenth street north He has lived
in Fargo for number of years, fol.
lowing the carpenter trade He worked
on the construction of the Country
club house this spring.
Friends are hard put to assign a
reason for his rash act. It is said
that he suffered sunstroke several
years ago and could not work on a hot
day, and that he complained yesterday
of the heat. Rice. his fellow workman,
said that Mcdonald appeared to be a
normal man with regular habits and
that he never showed any signs of
dependency.

IN a place built, like Bethlehem, in
L many cases against the soft
limestone rock it often happens
that the existence of a cave where
the house was to be was a great at
traction since it offered a ready
made, dry, above ground cellar as
well as a specially suitable spot for
the household animals and for a
storeroom. 1t would seem that Jo-
seph was at last able to get room in
some such back portion of a house,
and there, we are told, Mary bore
her divine Son.
A cave below the high altar of
the Church of the Nativity is now
shown as the very place where this
august event TRANSFERRED; little re-
cess, shaped like a clam shell, its
floor of marble wrought into a star
in the center, bearing in Latin the
words, Here Jesus Christ Was
Born of the Virgin Mary" A row
of lamps hangs round the outer
edge, the right to attend to them be-
ing a jealousy watched matter. each
of the ancient churches, the Greek.
the Latin, the Armenian and the
Coptic, having one or more of these
under its care.
The evidence for this site is so
strong that most persons accept it as
sufficient, reaching up, as it does, to
within living memory of the days of
the apostles. But even if this be an
illusion the fact remains that in this
petty village the Saviour of the
world was made man for our re-
demption. No wonder that We read
Of the anthem of the angels. for
surely nothing could draw forth the
interest of the heavenly population
like the exceeding grace God was
showing to sinful man.
The scene Of the visit of the shep-
herds is pointed out as on a rough
slope, facing the village. at some
distance to the east, Bethlehem "
ing far above on its mountain seat.
One can follow the shepherds in
their journey to see the unspeakable
wonder. They would go along the
rich valley of Boaz and then up the
terraced hill by path still in use,
nor is it uinstructive to reflect
that. while simple shepherds were
led by angels to the Manager, the
high priest and the great of ,Teru-
salem, SO near. slept through that
most illuStrious night of all history,
quite unconscious of what had hap
pencd. But we know of it, and may
