gineers, Denies Stories
BEN CLOUD, BISMARCK
INDIAN, TO BE OFFICER

Like Pill Nye, Mark Twain, Co!
Charles Brewer and other notables,
Harold Euchman has suffered from
pcrnicious and exaggerated reports
OF his death which he has been forcen
to brand as premature, to say the
least.
lltumOrs so wild and so unreasOn.
able and illogical that The Tribune
had not deigned TO dignity them with
denial have been rife in Bismarck
for weeks. They have concerned the
tragic fate of Harold Bachman, pop
ular leader OF the former Second
regiment band, now the 10th engi
nee:s and division headquarters band
at Camp Mills. Things have reach
ed such state, however, that friends
of L&chman has. asked that The Trib
une advise its readers that Harold
l'achman is not dead that he never
has been dead or involved in any
Trouble of any kind; that he is still
leading his excellent band and is very
much alive ana just as popular at
Camp Mills as he was at Camp Greene
and before that Bismarck and at
1Iarve.1. the home town OF the 10th
engineers band.
Ben Cloud an. Officer. >,.,.,
Word comes from Camp Mills that
Ben Cloud, veteran of Co. A, First
regiment, and one of Bismarck's most
efficient young military men, is sched-
uled for commission. He has been
serving as regimental sergeant major
and it is probable that when he goes
up Sergeant Major Walter H. Hecker
OF Mandan will get his present berth.
Cloud is an Indian and good one,
and his commission will please many,
, bismarck friends. -','. ".
