MRS. REBECCA SCOFIELD
CLAIMED BY MAKER
Beloved Mother of James and A. P.
Scofield Died in This City at the
Ripe Old Age of 81 Years.

Mrs. Rebecca Scofeld, the aged
passed away at the A. P. Scofeld
home on Saturday evening. The re-
mains were taken to Cando, the old
home of the deceased, and the funeral
was held Tuesday from the Catholic
church of that place. Mrs. Scofield
was in her 82nd year but despite her
age she had led an active life up to
the time of her final illness. Three
sons and one daughter survive her, A.
P. and James Scofield of this city,
George Scofield of Mohall and Mrs.
J, E. Stewart, of Medford, Oregon.
Owing to illness Mrs. Stewart was
unable to attend the funeral. Mrs.
James Mayhan, another daughter Of
the deceased, died at Cando several
years ago.
Mrs. Scofeld's husband died over
fifty years ago and the responsibility
of rearing the family of five young
children rested upon her shoulders.
A fter her daughters death she as
sumed the care of the Mayhan chill
drcn and has since made her home
with this family. Coming to Minot
this fall for visit with her sons, she
was taken i'll and gradually grew
worse. Mrs. Scofeld was noble wo-
man, devoted to her family, and the
motherlv advice and wise counsel
which she had given to her children
were undoubtedly largely responsible
for their taking their places as among
the most prominent of our citizens, a
fact which no doubt proved Of great
pleasure and satisfaction to her in her
declining years.

age to launch more than one show.
Mr.. Sherman produced several and his
efforts have been crowned with sue
cess. His latest production is "The
Girl Without Chance" the great
white slave play which comes to the
Hippodrome theatre for two nights
starting Friday, Jan. 18th. This play
is from the pen of an unknown author
but Mr.. Sherman had read it. He saw
the great pleasing qualities of the
story. He saw the wonderful moral
lesson it carried, and with the courage
typical of the Westerner, he launched
it with splendid scenic equipment,
and it has proven successful even be-
You'd his most sanguine hopes. In
every city where this play has been
seen, the press has been enthusiastic
in it's praise. White Slave societies
thruout the country have endorsed it
and today it is one of the few real
successes of the year.

the rose was for him and then smiled most
pleasingly at the young miss. 1t was
fortunate thing for Allen that Mr. Wilson
was with him as the girls father had like
wise observed the incident and felt proud
that his daughter had thrown a rose to so
noble an old gentleman as Mr. Wilson.
Nothing was said about the rose incident
by either OF the men they continued
their journey to the city or back to home,
but the next day Mr.. Wilson called Allen
to him before he left for the school, which
he was teaching and to reach which it was
almost necessary for him to go the same
route he had travelled the day before, and
said to him, "Suppose you go to your
school through the Magnolia gulch, it is
a little longer but you can start little
earlier" Without asking the reason why
or waiting for any further explanation he
replied, eyes sir, and raising his hat
hurried away. He still had three months
of school at that place, but never saw or
ever heard Of the young white woman again
while engaged in teaching school. Allen
Davis had not called that white election
officer a liar nor exactly disputed his word,
but he had almost done so, which was quite
enough to breed trouble for the young col
ored school teacher in the community where
he was bred and born. Violent steps had
not been taken to 'regulate' him by the
Brandywine bulldozers as yet, but trouble
was brewing. "Allen Davis, that damn
smart niger school teacher lives on Mr.
Wilson's plantation and all of his niggers
are protected by him" it was argued land
we'll have to go Slow This young col
ored man, however, was full of high strung
blood that could not be conquered and he
did not bite his tongue when the Negroes of
the community were imposed upon.

father Of the young white girl, to whom
reference has already been made, told the
family of the intention of the bulldozers

POLITICAL POT-POURI

It begins to look as if the fight for sher-

Bob Hodge and hot fight will it be. On
Bob's campaign card he says "Elect real
sheriff" and to this a great many voters of
this county will say amen and that real
sheriff, in their opinion, is Bob Hodge.
Hodge has many strong friends among the
colored voters Of the county and one Of the
very heavy property holders among them

TOWN TOPICS

With the hope OF improving the health of
her daughter, Miss Gladys, Mrs w. L.
Presto left last Sunday evening for the sea-
shore in Oregon where she will remain for
the next five weeks. Miss Gladys has had
long siege of illnss and though much i'm
proved over what she was a couple Of
months ago, yet the family felt a change
would completely restore her to health,
hence the seaside visit.
Today the citizens of Seattle will ban
quet the thirty-five drafted (colored) men,
who will leave for Camp Lewis about p.
m. An elegant repast will be given them
and speeches made by notables. Andrew
r. Black will act as master of ceremonies
and Will E. Humphrey will be the chief
speaker. The war department is making
an urgent call for all the colored drafted
men in this section to be held in readiness
for a call to duty.
That was a magnificent meeting held at
the Grace Presbyterian church last Tues
day evening under the auspices of the Ma
tional Association (Seattle brarch), not
magnificent from the point Of numbers, but
from the point of splendid addresses made
by Mrs. E. A. johnson and Will E. Humph-
rey, and the appeal made for membership by
the Rev. w. D. Carter was as good as an
address. The prayer offered by the Rev. D.
A. Graham was within itself a sermon and
it hit the nail on the head at every point.
More such meetings are needed

Park last Thursday in which the Sunday
