Mr.. and Mrs. John Hoerter of Carpio,
! N. D., passed away at Kenmare hos
pital at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, Oct. 80, after a lingering illness
Of pleurisy.
Elizabeth was taken sick last April
with the measles and pneumonia which
later developed into pleurisy. After
two months her condition became so
serious that she was taken to a Ken
mare hospital, where she remained
until late in August, when she return
ed home and was on the slow way 20
recovery when the Spanish influenza
overlook her. She was again taken to
the kenmare hospital, where she was
under the care of special nurse and
all that loving hands could do was
done for her. but in vain, and death
came as relief to her sufferings.
Elizabeth became 10 on the third
of June and was in the full bloom OF
youth but like lily in the field she
withered away with the first snow fall,
but to awaken in falrer and happier
home.
She was girl of unusual good hab-
its and had kind and sympathetic
word for everyone and by her winning
Ways she had won a host Of friends
and her death has cast a gloom in the
hearts of all who knew her
She was member Of St. Henrys

and social circles, and her place there

MinOt Soldier Writes About BayOnet

Alfred Moore of this city has re-
ceived a very interesting letter from
Paul Chapman, Minot soldier, for
merly connected with the Great Nor
thern here. Paul writes as follows:
France, Oct. 4.
Just line, Al, to let you know
those Huns got me, but just a slight
wound. Expect to be out of the hos
pital in few days.
But say, old scout, we surely made
them go. There is no fight in them
at all. All they use is machine guns
and cannon. Shrapnel hit me, but l
will soon be back at them again. Was
the worst battle I have seen over here
yet. Took large number of prison
ers.
You run on bunch of Huns and
they would throw up their arms and
call out "Kamerad" Then it is time
to give them the long point of your
bayonet. It seems rather cruel to
you, AL, but you don't think that way
when they are shooting down your
comrades. We will surely make those
Huns move right along from now on

ty good" Well, I said it sure was
and took out my cigarettes and we
both had a smoke, and went on read
ing. It sure is funny how things will
happen. But now, mother, ! am in an
American hospital in France which
seems like home to me. We get all
kinds of cigarettes, meals four times a
day, a good bed and nothing to do but
play checkers and cards all day. Oh,
it's great stuff so what more do we
want? The days pass like hours. The
sisters treat US we'll. One of the Sis
tiers told me she had some friends in
Minot by the name of Nelson. She
told me her name, but | was very busy
playing checkers and forgot it but l
will ask her next time l see her and
try to remember.
The last scrap I was in got slight
ly wounded by a piece of shrapnel on
the right side of my nose. l sure was
lucky. 1t only went in under the skin.
1t will leave no mark and that's a
good thing. What would the girls say
if I got scar on my face? Why, I
wouldn't have any stand in, at all. In
months time I will be as good as
ever; yes, and better, as l for once
feel that l have come to a realization
of my ambition. I was hit on the first
of October just after I hoped over
the top. Don't forget that date, as
am going to celebrate that day as
long as | am on my two feet.
Well, mother, l must be off. The
howe hava haan ca11inp mo the last five
