DANCE AT ARMORY
WAS POSTPONED

AS many Of the windows were
blown out of the Armory hall during
the storm, and the roof damaged con-
siderably, resulting in the floor being
saturated with water, it was imposes
BILE to give the dance last night for
the army and navy men stationed
here.
The dance was to be given by the
entertainment committee Of the army
and navy life activities committee,
but was called off and will be given
in the Armory Hall next Saturday

Obituary-ROllin GnfRin.

On October 2, 1917, occurred the
death of Mr.. Rollin Guffin at his late
home on North Cedar, Abilene, Kan,
after lingering illness of nearly
four years.
Mr.. Guffin was born in Schoharie
County, New York, December 49,,
1848, and grow to manhood in that
community and then followed the
trend of migration to the west, seek
ing employment in the mercantile
profession. He reached Abilene in
the fall of 1888 and soon found
position as salesman and continued
in this line until forced to retire
because of failing health some four
years ago. He was efficient and
obliging and thus came to have a
wide circle of friends all over the
city and the whole trading commun-
ity.
On June %, 1888, he united in
marriage with Evaline Hand and this
union continued until he was called
to his eternal home, leaving his be-
loved wife to mourn the loss OF n
faithful partner in a long and happy
welded life.
Mr.. Guffin had long been a mem

FINED REV. sTROsCHEIN S25.
Another Chapter Is Written In the
Harrington Church War.

Rev. Otto Stroschein, pastor of one
OF the German Lutheran churches
was fined $25 In Justice Crarys
court Tuesday on the charge of dis
turbing the peace.
Reverend Srtoschein and his
church have been in court more or
less for several months. 1t seems
that the congregation is divided on
the question of his being retained as
pastor. Shortly after John Glantz
and Rhiney Reisel, who represent the
anti-Stroschein faction went to the
church Sunday morning to warm the
building for services, the pastor and
several of his friends arrived Words
led to deeds. John Glantz testified
at the trial Tuesday that the minis
ter punched him in the face, but the
defendant denied the charge. One
P. Kohler, a supporter of the minis
ter seems to have gotten into the
game long enough to have a fine of
S25 assessed against him for disturb
ing the peace.-Herington Times.
