Laura Armstrong, 12-year-old adop-
ted daughter of. C. o. Armstrong, re-
siding about six miles from Quinion,
Billings county, was found dead a few
rods from the ranch house Tuesday
afternoon. Strychn1ne was found in
a pocket of her dress, and it is be-
lieved that she took her own life.
Parents of the girl are Frustrated
with grief, and al ascribe no reason
for the act, if it becomes certain that
she took poison with suicidal intent.
Monday morning the girl left the
home, saying that she intended going
a short distance away to pick some
flowers. She seemed at that time to
be in the best of spirits and was sing
ing as she left the home. When she
did not return in the evening, search
was instituted, but the body was not
found until Tuesday afternoon.
Face downward she lay, only a short
distance from the home, and partially
hidden by a clump of bushes, with a
bouquet of withered flowers nearby
In her pocket was found the strych-
nine. Whether she took her own life
in childish pique, whether she was
murdered or died a natural death
has not yet been established.

Quinion Thursday, the Rev. Mr.. Cook

More than $500 loyal Americans
marched through the principal streets
Of Dickinson Tuesday afternoon, in a
mammoth demonstration of the love
which they bear their country and
their flag, and nearly as many more
lined the streets along which the

and with enthusiasm reused to the
highest pitch, Dickinson did itself
proud and conclusively proved that
loyalty to the nation is firmly i'm
planted in the hearts of it's citizens.
Led by Miss Jessie Leask, repre-
senting the Goddess of Liberty, in q
car beautifully decorated with the ma
tional c~olors, the parade started at
2:3O from the corner of First Street
and First Avenue West. Passing
along the main streets, the process
sion was augmented near the school
building by hundreds of school chill
dren, who fell in line there. The
procession then crossed the tracks to
the South Side, where organizations
of that portion of the city joined in
the pageant. Recrossing the tracks,
ladies of the Red Cross and other or
CARNATIONS joined in and march was
continued to the Merchants National
Bank corner, where the speakers
stand had been erected.
