DEATH CLAIMS ERIC ERICsEN

Y Tuesday afternoon Williams was saddened by word of the death of Eric Ericsen, at the local hospital. 1t was known that MT. Ericsen had been dangerously i'll with pneumonia but the hope was generally en- tertained by his friends that his youth and vitality would tri- umph over this dreaded disease
 However at four o'clockTues- day afternoon, the struggle be- came to much for the wasted body and MT. Ericsen was granted the eternal rest that awaits us all.
 This is the third death that has occurred in the Ericser family during the last five weeks. Mrs. Anna EricsenMc- Cray, a sister of Eric, was the first to pass away. She was fol- lowed shortly by her father, Mat Ericsen, whose death was announced in last week'sNews.
 Eric Ericsen would have been twenty seven years old on the tenth of this month. He came to America with his father and two sisters when he was but a boy. For the last ten years he had lived in and about Williams spending most of his timework- inp at the SapinaW camps. He was an upright young man we'll liked by all who knew him, and his death is felt as a per sonal loss, by all his many friends.
 In his immediate family he leaves: one sister in America, Mrs. Oscar Ryburg; One broth CT, Gustave, now in the Ameri- can army in France; and his mother and three younger sis ters in Sweden.

w. M. HUGHES AND
 FAMILY TO CALF.

w. M. Hughes and family, and Kenneth Hughes left Will Hams Tuesday, on their way to California by automobile. w. M. Hughes with his family, will locate , temporarily, at Madeira, California, and Kenneth will join his wife and children at Fresno.
 MT. Hughes leaves many warm friends here who regret to lose him as a citizen. Just before his departure he re- marked of these, 'I don't know of town anywhere, where I like the people better than I do here in Williams"
 MT. Hughes hopes to return to Williams, later, to live. It is his intention to engage in the cattle business.
 No one in Williams ever had anything but a good word for MT. Kenneth Hughes and it is the hope of everyone that he will return with his father to again engage in business here.
 MT. Hughes and all his fam fly were very public spirited and always stood ready to aid every undertaking for the bet terment of the town or the serv- ice of the country. They will be greatly missed in Williams.

Leakv barracks that they occupied after first landing made it uncom- fortable for the 504th Engineers Bat talion, writes Private A. Peterson of Co. c. in letter from France to his parents, MT. and Mrs. Peter c. Peter son of 70 Twelfth street. He says in part:
 Gee, but we are having some fine weather now, but when we first land ed 1t was fierce. We were in camp near the coast for a while and talk about cold and rain Oh, boy! The barracks we were in leaked like a sieve and one night had to work and when sleeping during the day the fellows moved me thret dimes so I shouldn't get wet. Then when I got up I was in a puddle. When we came to this camp we were whole night in a box car and had fire on the floor. When we got here we had a wild time till we got settled. Hard tack and corn ed Willie till we were ashamed to look at it. That's the worst of being first over here. We have to fix things for ourselves and the rest. We sure have a peach cf a place now and the way the paper reads some at home are not getting as good eating as we are now. Hot biscuits avout every other night, half a pie Sundays, oat meal or rice for breakfast, jam and syrup. AL so butter. We didn't get much rice this month as bunch of Chinks came iu and we couldn't bet much.

From 20 to 25 witnesses were on the

From 20 to 25 witnesses were on the stand in the police court on Friday, where Judge John H. Barnes presided all day in hearing the evidence in the cases of Abe, Nathan. Max and Louis Belt, four brothers, Israel H. Mandel, first trustee of the Synagogue Brothers of Joseph, Kay Seder and Joseph Dembrof all accused of breach of the peace because of fight that occurred last Sunday night at the synagogue. The fracas arose after a chief rabbi from New Yorw made an adverse decision to the Belt brothers nnon the question of whether they were obeying the Hebrew law in the sale of kosher meat at the/B butcher shop on North Thames street.
 The trial had not been concluded at o'clock, when adjournment was taken to next Wednesday morning. when it is understood each side will have six or seven more witnesses to present. S
 The four Belts and Trustee Mandel were arrested on the night of the fight, but Seder and Dembrof had war rants served upon them when they ap- peared at the police station for the trial on Friday morning.
 Prosecuting attorney Lee Roy Rob bins appeared for the state, attorneys c. l.. Stewart and V. P. A. Quinn, re- presented the Belts, and attorney T. NJ. Shields was counsel for prominent members of the synagogue.
 There were frequent occasions when the gravity of the court was broken up by anowers of the witnesses. call

ing for court officer John Irish to rap
 sharply for order and check the laugh ter that swept over the well filled benches.
 Much of the testimony tended to show that the trouble started when a
 man named Moses Jennes presumed to rise in the synagogue and question the ligislating rabbi from New York. Mandel, as first trustee of the syna- gogue, testified that it was his duty to preserve order, and he tried to have the man sit down. At that Abe Belt interfered, garbbed him by the coat, punched him over the eye knocked him over on his back and all four of the Belt brothers jumped on him and tried to break his leg across a bench.
 There were several witnesses who testified to the same effect. Other witnesses testified that Man del struck Abe Belt, and there were three who said that after Mandel had
 hit Abe Belt, Seder pulled Abe over a
 bench. Two other witnesses testified
 that Abe was pulled around by the
 hair of the head by Dembrof. There was also testimony to show
 the part played by a cuspidor, which was used as a weapon by one of the Belt brothers according to several witnesses. It was thrown during the fight but hit Abe M. Belt in the head
 instead of one of his opponents. When Abe was brought to the police station on the night of the arrest his face was cut and bruised from his experiences | in the fight.

French People Like the 5eth.

In a letter to his mother Mrs. Nal vina Gauthier of 450 North Main street, Private Thomas D. Gauthier of Battery D. 56th Regiment of Artillery, writes in part as follows, from some where in France:
 This is a big city where we are but the streets are awful narrow. The French people like our bunch. They hang around the gate so that they can hear the band play every night. We go for a long walk every morning and the boys feel pretty tired afterwards, but we will get used to that. Today is the first time the sun has come out bright since we have been here and all the boys are leaning against the building getting warm. There is a big mountain back of us and the peak is covered with snow. We haven't got our pay and we don't know when we will get paid. The people in some of the stores soak the boys for some of the goods, but we are wise to that and have a place where we can get stuff for less money.

lnuctiOe Kidneys
 Cause Disease

T shell not soon forget the benefits derived from the use of Foley Kidney Pills. s."-AL A. Godfrey, Forest Grove, Oregon.
 Too much work and too little work seem to have about the same effect on persons past middle age. Proper action of the kidneys is necessary to good health. They act as filter and remove from the blood poisonous waste matter which if permitted to remain in the system leads to many complications.
 Many nervous, tired, rundown men and women suffer from pains in the back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder weakness, sore muscles and stiff joints and fail to realize that rheuma. tism, diabetes or even Brights dis casa may result.
 If you have cause to believe that your kidneys are weak, disordered or inactive you should act immediately Foley Kidney Pulls have been used by young, middle aged and old with complete satisfaction. They act quick. ly and sure ly and have given relief in eases of ten years standing.

E.rIv H,story o. Ga.

Gas for street lighting was first
used In Pal! Mall, london, more than
a century ago. A few experimental
gas lights previously had been used in
Golden Lane, but 1t was not until
few years later that the new form Of
Illumination was generally adopted in
London streets. The first attempt to
introduce the use Of gas in America
was in Baltimore in 1916. The project
was unsuccessful. In 1922 1t was In
troduced in Boston, and In the follow
ing year New York streets were light
ed ,by gas. The system did not prove
successful. however. until 1927. The
use OF, gas spread rapidly to other cities
in the United States and Canada.
Rosin and oil were used FOR producing
gas In America in the early days Of
the industry. Until half : century ago
the price thousand feet ranged up to
S7.sthe average being about $3.50.

RECEIVE BIDS ON TUNNEL.
Excessive Council to Let Contract For
Capitol Ground Work on June IS.
Snaciai fr, imeS-Renrhlican

Des Moines, June 52.-The state exc
cutive council received bids Friday and
will let the contract Tuesday, June %,
on the building OF a heating plant tun-
mel on the capitol extension grounds.
nine and a half feet high and eight
feet wide, Of reinforced concrete
AS planned it will extend under
meath the sidewalk on the south side OF
Grand avenue, east from the state
house 90 Thirteenth street and thence
south to Vine street or the railroad
tracks A new heating plant is to be
built near Thirteenth and Vine. The
original Masoueray plans were for a
heating plant south Of the state house
near the railroad tracks. The best
heating experts, however, including
men from Ames, advise that the nat
ural place for it is in the hollow near
East Thirteenth and Vine. To build it
here Will require especial authorization
by the legislature and the executive
council will ask for this, including the
purchase Of a small strip OF land TO
build it on.
The tunnel will have laterals to the
principal buildings on the grounds. A
track for the running Of a small motor
driven electric car win be put in the
tunnel 50 that workmen can thus
transfer supplies and materials from
the store room and heating plant to
various buildings On the ground. The
general plan of the tunnel is similar
to one in use on the Wisconsin state
capitol grounds.
The council has not yet let any con-
tracts for cement electroliers. Designs
originally drawn for these included a
cast iron arm and were rejected be-
cause it would make the light holders
too costly. Highway commission en-
gineers are now designing an electro
lier Of reinforced cement which it is
estimated will cost about SIS.
