Love Of Money Kills
Rich North Dakotan

Minneapolis, Jan. 29.-With $4,000
in mortgages and cash, Owen Egan is
dead because he would not permit a
doctor to see him. Egan has been a
character about Bridge Square flop
houses" for several years. He spent
but Is cents per day for his room and
Is cents daily for meals. His food con-
sisted of coffee and doughnuts three
times each day.
Egan was rs year old, bent and
feeble. He lived each winter at a
lower Hennepin avenue lodging house
and spent his summers at Minor, N.
D., where his money was invested. Ac-
cording to s. ]. Mcbride, clerk at the
hotel, Egan seldom left his room, ex-
cept at meal times. All day he sat in
Ia dingy bedroom, figuring the interest
on his investments.
A few weeks ago, a nail protruding
from the heel of his shoe caused a
small scratch on his foot. Because of
neglect. blood poisoning developed and
Egan was confined to his room. Then
pneumonia set in and Mcbride insist
ed that a physician be called. Egan
wouldn't listen to this. "They only
want my money and they're too ex>
pensive," he declared, II will not have
them around" Two patrolmen were
then called and despite Egan's pro-
tests he was taken to the hospital. All
the way there and while he was being
examined he kept asking, "How much
is this going to cost me?" Today
Charles Bronson, Backus, MINI, grand
nephew and only heir of Egan, is max
ling funeral arrangements. Egan will
be buried beside his brother at Dins-
lake, Iowa. }5

Hundreds Hear First
Of Municipal Concerts

Nearly 800 persons heard the NUM-
cipal concert in the Normal school
auditorium Sunday afternoon, show
ing the interest of the community in
such an undertaking. The program
was featured by the numbers of the
Normal school orchestra, conducted by
Prof. Knute FrOysaa. The Normal
onians appeared in one number on the
program and were recalled. Miss Ef-
fie Jacobson appeared as piano soloist.
and w. r. Penny as flute soloist, l.. w.
Hubbard and and Oscar Jacobson, as
soloists in two orchestral selections,
were much appreciated. These num-
bers, together with the period of COM
munity singing conducted by Dean
woodlands, made most enjoyable
hour for those present
A series of such concerts has been
contemplated by the city officials with
the Normal school offering it's hospi-
tality and cooperation, and if present
plans carry a series of three or four
such concerts will be given. Certainly
the community has shown its interest
by all but filling the auditorium for the
first concert.
1t is not to be understood that such
concerts, if they become reality, are
to be substituted by the public for any
of the church services of the city. The
spirit of the plan is to offer a whole
some form of entertainment for not
longer than an hour at time, when
the general public is best able to at
tend, and to add to the spirit of the
day, if possible.
It was fine ensemble when the 800
persons united in the great American
folk songs and the manner in which
they were rendered showed that they
were being enjoyed. This should be-
come great feature of the programs,
spreading from the folk songs to those

While defects could be found in the
playing of the boys Saturday, team.
work, which is the essential factor in
winning games, was much In evidence.
The sacrifice Of q chance to star for
teamwork is appreciated by every
body more than individual work.
Cook showed his usual class at the
tip-off position and combined with Mel
son and Bowen made scoring ma
chine which is hard to beat. The low
score of Casselton speaks we'll for the
work of our guards, Antinson and
Stenshoel.
The game with Wimbledon was
a hard-fought game from start to fin
ish and it took all the basketball the
boys had in them to bring down the
large end Of the score.
The Wimbledon boys showed real
class and piled up a lead which was
hard to overcome, before our boys
woke up to the fact that they were
playing basketball.
The standing Of Wimbledon is
shown by the fact that they defeated
Courtenay by about the same score as
Jamestown did, in the same week. -
The playing of p. Martin, A. Bowen
and T. Cook was especially aggressive,
although on the whole teamwork was
somewhat lacking.
The next game to be played here is
with Fargo next Friday evening.

Col. Frame Believes
War to Be Imminent

st. Paul, Jan. 29.-America faces the
imminent prospect of war, in the opin
ion of Colonel John H. Frame, recent
ly retired lieutenant governor OF
North Dakota and commander of the
Flickertail regiment that arrived Sun
day at Fort Smelling, after six months
service at the Mexican border.
"All our wars have started in April
I'll risk the prediction that We'll be
in another war before next April is
past" the colonel said Sunday night.
Colonel Frame has served in the
national guard more than 30 years
and fought in the Philippines.
"The Mexican trouble never will be
settled until we go in and police
that country. It wouldn't be a days
joy to settle matters there, but we
could do it; that is, we could have
until the troops were withdrawn. The
regulars can't do it alone-there are
not enough of them"
Colonel Frame sees no salvation in
regular army, nor hope for the pro.
posed preparedness plan of greatly
Strengthening it. The solution, as he
sees 1t, is in the guard
II believe the concensus of opinion
among officers in this regiment favors
compulsory military training in the
national guard" he declared.
"We can't get compulsory military
service in the regular army because
the people are not ready for it.
What We can get is compulsory
service in the guard, under regulation
similar to that of the new law,
whereby every able-bodied man be,
tween 18 and 21 will get three years
training, one night a week and one
month each summer.
"The national guard has vindicated
itself at the border. In no other way
could the nation have obtained the
number of volunteers it called for.
The guard was the best-prepared or.
ganization to defend the border"

Missouri River Valley
Residents Are Alarmed

Bismarck, Jan. 26.-Residents of the
Missouri river valley and its tribu>
taries have been notified by the Unit
ed States weather bureau here to be
prepared for food warnings. Because
of the unprecedented amount of snow
in the upper Missouri valley, residents
have been given advance warning to
remove such property to- higher
ground as can be done now and not de-
lay until the spring food. Exception

Serious flood conditions are report.

detailed reports coming in from ranch
ers in the Madison valley, where the
Madison river has overfowed the val
ley for several miles, it is known that
at least six families were caught in
the flooded district. Some of the
ranchers are Bert Wilcox, Arne F..
Moore, Peter Dunville, Samuel Fist
ner, John Mcdonald and George
ssWTlSnI.
It was learned that Wilcox had gone
to the Dunville ranch and both fam.
lilies are marooned there. Moore and
his wife, taking one child each under
their arms, started last night for the
ranch of Charles NJ. Wilson, more
than a half a mile away. They went
through water up to their waists the
entire distance, finally reaching the
Wilson ranch safely.
The water has risen from four or
five inches to nearly ~ inches over
the Northern Pacific and st. Paul
roads.
The storm which has resulted in a.
general snow from the Rocky noun
tains to Minnesota is moving south
eastward and is followed by much
higher pressure. This will result in
clearing skies tonight and Saturday
with lower temperature. The total
fall of snow during the past II hours
is three inches, making an average
depth of snow on the ground 1872
