FOURTH DEGREE
K. c. ASSEMBLY
ENDS MEETING
First Session in State Called
by Col. Heating Hold
Imitation Soon

The district assembly. Fourth degree,
knights of Columbus. for the jurisdic-
ton of North Dakota, which convened
for its first annual convention at
knights of Columbus hall, Monday
forenoon at 1890. concluded its delib-
erations this morning. Much business
was transacted of interest to the
| knights of Columbus. The meeting was
| called by Col. B. I. Heating, master Of
| the Fourth degree for the North Da-
kota jurisdiction. There at present are
| three local assemblies of the Fourth
degree, Fargo, Minot and Grand Forks,
in this state. These assemblies were
represented by the Faithful Naviga-
tors" p. w. Clemens of Fargo, John J..
Coyle of Minot. and J.F. T. O'Connor
| of Grand Forks.
The Fourth degree, Knights of Co
| lumbus, is not distinct from the order,
but the embodiment OF all the proceed
ing degrees. Its foundation is patIio-
tism, or love of God and love of coun-
try, which comprises the human activi-
ties. 1t is organized into provinces,
which in turn are divided into districts
with one or more in each state.
Until year ago, North Dakota was
attached to the district of Minnesota,
but the growing importance of the or
der. in this state, determined the SUI
preme officers that it would be for the
best interests of the order to establish
a separate district in North Dakota,
and B. /. Heating Of Fargo, was named
as the first master.
Though the Fourth degree has a
separate governing body, it is under
the control of the supreme board of
directors, and it's main purpose is to
exemplify all the principles of Column
bianism, and what 1t stands for, the
religious, moral, social and intellectual
well-being of mankind. The district
assembly fixed the date of its annual
meeting hereafter February IL. 1t took
up the matter of increasing the mem
bership of the degree in this state, and
1t was determined to exemplify the
fourth degree some time in the near
future. the exact date to be fixed by
the master.
There are about $50 Fourth degree
members in North Dakota, and 5000
members of the order. Only those who
have been members of the order for
two years are admitted to the Fourth
degree ets4f
The Knights of Columbus are inter-
ested in and promoters OF everything
that tends to the betterment of man
kind, and to the fullest freedom of the
individual, in obedience to lawful
authority. Hence it's four degrees
Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patrio-
tism-embody the whole range of hui
man activities-love of God and love OF
country.
The meeting was successful in every
way, and the delegates to the assembly
are well pleased with their work.
The Fargo assembly of knights en-
tertained the delegates at luncheon at
the Gardner hotel Wednesday after
noon.

FEDERAL TERN AT DEVILS
LAKE WILL OPEN JUNE 6
Thirty-one Cases, Most OF Them
Liquor Violations, to Be Tried
at This Term.
United States District !

United States District Attorney NJ
A. Hildreth has returned from the fed
eraI session at Bismarck to prepare
cases for the opening of the federal
term of court to be held at Devils Lake
on June over which Judge Charles F.
Amidon will preside.
There are 81 cases on the docket, a
large number of which deal with the
shipment of whiskey to the Indians.
Probably the most important cases to
be heard are the action in equity to set
Sandin, and the action involving a
$4,000 penalty because of his trading
with the Indians.
The federal law provides that no per-
son in the employ of the Indian depart
ment shall trade with the Indians.

Whales.

Whales are able to attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by the water in which they
live. A bird is limited to the weight
which its wings can bear up in the air.
A land animal, IL 1t becomes too large,
cannot hold its body on the ground
or readily move about, and Is doomed
to certain destruction. But a whale
has to face none Of these problems
and can grow without restraint.
Because whales live In . supporting
medium their young are Of enormous
size at birth, in some instances the calf
being almost half the length Of its
mother. I once took 25-f0ot baby
which weighed about eight tons from
an s5-foot blus whale.-Nxchanse.

thing to show that he had always been

I suppose he did not know how the

man to be a private tutor for winter
on the plantation. He had spent half
his youth with an older brother, hunt

COLU MBUS (ONlO) man
~ claims to have fired the last
~ shot of the war of Seces-
son-David N. Osyor, the
Columbus Dispatch states. He was
member of Company F, Ninth Ohio
cavalry. On the morning of April II,
1865, that command was near Dur
ham Station, N. c. 1t was keeping
close watch on Gen. Joe Wheeler's
cavalry, which was on the opposite
side of an extensive swamp. Part of
the Union cavalry was ordered to dis
mount and wade across the swamp to
distract the Confederates. while the
rest constructed corduroy bridge.
They used their carbines so vigorously
that the Confederates surmiSed that
very considerable force was coming at
them, and the road builders got along
fine with their bridge.
Near the other edge of the swamp
Osyor says Il Confederate bullet just
clipped his sergeant's chevron and the
skin on his arm. Looking for the
source of the bullet, he spied the long
barrel of a gun and the gray legs of
Confederate soldier in the forks of a
tree in front of him, and he fired at
them. He saw the legs withdrawn
and the owner of them crawl slowly
away.
Just then a flag of truce came in
sight and the Union men were ordered
to cease firing. The occurrence. Osyor
said, did not impress him at the time.
but that flag of truce was really the
sign of the end of the Civil war. for
the general surrender came soon and
the troops were sent home.
A strange part of the story is that
long after the war Osyor met at Biz
mingham, Ala, n man named Amos
Thompson, who was lame-said he
had been wounded in the Confederate
service and, comparing notes, they es-
tablished to the satisfaction of both
that Thompson was the man who was
In the tree on the edge of the Durham
swamp back in 1865, had shot Mt Osyor
and been shot in turn by him. Osyor's
bullet struck Thompson in the knee
and made him a cripple for life. They
agreed that they had fired the very
last shot on each side in the Civil war.

Mine Output over $4,000 900.

Colorado's mineral output for 1915
was worth $44,O6O.521.7O. an increase
OF almost 800 over the figures for
1914, according to the biennial report
of the State Bureau of Mines just is
sued by Commissioner Fred Carroll.
While the enormous gain may be ex-
planned partly by the higher prices of
metals on the market in 1915. the re-
port also shows that $4,000 more tons
of metals were mined in Colorado that
year than in 1914. The total produc-
ton of minerals In 1916 was $4,000
900, an increase Of only 1872 over
1915, which really represented fall
ing off in tonnage, made up for by
slightly higher market prices than in

great day-hls arrival-to poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out In his
skiff. to show him a cane-brake or
cottonwood tree, as he said, really to
seduce him and by the time the sail
