The st. Louis Branch of the N. A. A. c. P. on whom because Of
close proximity has devolved the labor of giving relief, prosecuting
claims for losses and detecting and prosecuting the criminals in the
matter of the barbarous riotng and massacres at East st, Louis, Ill,
IN the first week Of July, 1917, here makes a general appeal for funds
that are necessary to the accomplishment of its work.
The future safety of the COlored people throughout the United
States depends upon the nation being taught that arrest, trial, con-
viction and punishment shall be the portion of those who assal per-
sons because they are Coored as surely as such assault is made.
Cofored people alone can give this lesson. We are giving it now
and it shall be given most thoroughly; but we must have the help we
are here asking for.
To this date $1067O0 has been contributed for this purpose and
$64SOO has been expended. Attorneys, detectives, court fees, and
other expense create need for a total of 100000.
We publish fortnightly, in available newspapers, reports of all
money received and all expenditures and we will furnish interested
persons with copies of these reports o n request.
We earnestly ask prompt, general response to this appeal and we
pledge exhaustive effort for redress and correction.
Send all contributions by check, registered letter O money order
to William d. Huffman, Treasurer, Pythian Temple, 1887 Pine Street,
ST. Louis, Mo.
Very truly yours for the peace and security of law observing
American citizenship,

The Kanaka, as the native Hawaiian
is called, is fast dying out 1t is said
that when Captain John Cook of H. M.
S. Navy discovered these islands in
1878, the islands had a population of
400, 900 but in a little over one cen
fury there remain but $4,000 accord
ing to the census of 1910.
Various causes have been attributed
TO this unprecedented disappearance
of a whole ace. They have for one
thing intermarried with other races,
in fact have been absorbed by the
est in these natives of Our island pos
sessions have been kept before US al
most continually by their native mu.
sic which has taken us by storm.
The latest play dealing with Hawaii
is "a Daughter of Sum-" a story of an
Hawaiian Butterfly, written by Lorin
]. Howard and Ralph T. Kettering,
and produced by Rowland and How
ard. Nothing in the dramatic line
since "a Bird of Paradise" has created
such a furore. The atmosphere OF
these enchanted Isles is maintained
by a wonderful scenic equipment and
also a band of native Hawaiian mu-
s~icians. who furnish the music for the
play.

Denny HANNAF|N
DIED AT BISMARCK
North Dakota's "Squatter Governor"
Died After Long and Interesting
Career.

Denny Hannafn, the "Squatter
Governor" of North Dakota, died at
his home in Bismarck. Denny was a
unique character and the legislators
who have grown accustomed to his
familiar figure about the legislative
halls will miss him. He was 81 years
of age and had been a friend to Sher-
man, Sheridan, Grant, Logan and
Custer. He was born in Ireland and
when 10 years of age, came to Amer
lea with his parents. On the way over,
his father died. When the family ar
rived in Buffalo, Denny sold papers
and blacked boots. At the age Of Is,
the lad worked on the construction Of
the Illinois Central railroad. He en-
listed in the 18th Ill. Inf, at Amboy,
ILL.,, and was made lieutenant for
bravery at the battle of Feryville.
Hannafin located at Bismarck before
the state capitol was on the map.
Hearing that some St. Paul capitalists
were going to establish the Bismarck
townsite along the Missouri, Denny
rounded up some of his St. Paul
friends and they preempted all the
land along the river. The capitalists
were compelled to locate the town a
mile east, where it now stands. In
September, 1878, he was fighting the
hostile Sioux where the city Of Man.
dan now stands.
At the first election in Bismarck,
Hannafn was elected county auditor
but he declined and started to prac-
tice law. However, his was too ad-
venturous a spirit and Denny, who
had become great rambler and walk
er, became famous for this particular
ability and made many long hikes
through the northwest. Several years
ago he was candidate for the United
States senate and he made his cam
paign on foot over the state.

QUARTETTE Of
DFSPERADOES
UNDER ARREST
and Thieves Face Serious
Charges-Stole $500 Coat and
Picked FOxhOlm Mans Pockets.

Harry Keno and William Jeffries of
St. Paul were arrested by the police
Saturday, charged with picking the
pockets of A. M. Reihle, prominent
Foxholm farmer, at the 500 station in
this city. Reihle has identified the
men who are held at the city Jail
awaiting their preliminary hearing.
Reihle says that he was at the
station preparing to board No. 1O5 to
return home Saturday when a young
man stepped in front Of him and
stopped down as if to pick up some
article which he had dropped. The fell
low Strengthened up and leaning
against Reihle excused himself. At the
same time, his pal from the rear,
reached into Reihle's pants pocket and
extracted the mans pocket book very
carefully. Reihle did not know that
his pockets were being picked, but
thinking that the fellow in front was
acting suspiciously, he reached his
hands towards his pockets and felt
another mans hand in the act of
taking the pocketbook. He grabbed
the pocketbook away from the thief,
who got away in the crowd. He got
good look at both fellows. Reihle
had less than a dollar in his pocket
book.
The same day in the afternoon, two
st. Paul thieves, evidently pals of the
two pickpockets, walked into the Fair
store several times. Clerks asked
them what they wanted and they re-
marked that their wives were being
waited upon. Later in the afternoon

WOMAN AT REST
Mrs. Anna Balerud Passed Away
Thursday at the Ripe Old Age of
81 Years-A Life Well Spent.

Mrs. Anna Balerud, one of the old
time residents of Minot, passed away
at her old home Thursday morning
from the infrmities of old age. She
was 81 years old at the time of her
death.
The funeral was held Saturday from
the Zion Lutheran church, the pastor,
Rev. J. R. Michaelson preaching a
comforting sermon. In addition to
the members of the family being pres
ent, great many old friends gather
ed to pay their last tribute Of love and
respect for this good woman. The re-
mains were inferred in Rose Hill cem-
etery.
Mrs. Balerud was born in Halland,
Norway and spent the early years Of
her life there. She was married in
Norway and there several Of the chill
dren were born. After the death of
her husband, Mrs. Balerud accompan-
led by her little children, came to Am
erica, settling in Freeborn county,
Mimi, on a farm. They resided there
for two years, moving to Renville
county, Mimi, where they resided for
several years. When the boys grew
up and came west to Ward county, N.
D., Ben, the eldest son, located here
before Minot was on the map. He
passed away in this city sixteen years
ago. Mrs. Balerud came to Minot
about sixteen years ago to be near her
children and had resided here ever
since. She was woman Of education
and refinement. AS home maker she
was unsurpassable. Deprived of the
assistance Of her husband by his early
death, she managed the affairs Of the
household and the farm with ability

PARSHALL SUFFERED
DISASTROUS fire
Eight Business Places Go Up in
Smoke Thursday-Fire Started
From Stove in Restaurant.

Parshall, the enterprising little city
on the Berthold reservation, suffered q
very severe fire loss early last Thurs
day morning when eight business
houses went up in smoke.
The fire started at b 80 in the morn
ing in Reds Restaurant, evidently
from an overheated stove. A passer-
10y saw the flame and said that Uhe fire
at the time could easily have been put
out, had any fire fighting apparatus
been at hand. farshall has a chemical
IRE engine but 1t appears that it was
not properly charged. The citizens
turned out and fought the flames he
roically, practically all of the wells
being pumped dry.
1t is hard to estimate the loss
which goes away up into the thous-
ands of dollars. But little insurance
was carried, as the buildings were all
frame structures and the insurance
