HAROLD BACHMAN
SAYS REPORTS Of
DEATH UNTRUE
Popular Leader of Second Reai.
ment Band, now 10th En-
gineers, Denies Stories
BEN CLOUD, BISMARCK
INDIAN. TO BE OFFICER

| Like Ell Nye, Mark twain. Col
Charles Brewer and other notables,
Harold Lachman has suffered from
pernicious ana exaggerated reports
OF his death which he has been forced
to brand as premature, to say the
least.
rRumors so wild and so unreason-
able and illogical that The Tribune
had not deigned 10 dignity them with
denial have been rife in Bismarck
for weeks. They nave concerned the
magic ta,e Of Harold Bachman, pop
ular leader Of tie former Second
regiment banI,. now the 10th engi.
neers and division headquarters band
at Camp Mills. Things have reach
ed such state, however, that friends
of I;achman has asked that The Trib.
une advise its readers that Harold
Eachma1 is not dead that he never
has been dead or involved in any
trouble of any kind; that he is still
aiding his excellent band and is very
much alive ana just as popular at
Camp Mills as he was at Camp Greene
and before that a Bismarck and at
Harvey, 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. Heclzer
Of Mandan will get his present berth
Cloud is an Indian and good one,
and his commission will please many
Bismarck friends.
