MARION SPELNAN

Manchester holds dear the memory
of those whose good lives have been
closely associated with its history; few
more closely than the family Of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. c. Spelman. Marion
Spelman was their youngest daughter,
she was married to Frederick h.
Walker in 1898 and lived in Short
Hills. n. ]. On April last she devel-
oped a serious illness and was removed
10 the Loomis Sanitarium, n T.,
where her death occurred on June 81.
Those who knew Mrs. Walker best
thought OF her always as Marion Spell
man and noted in her bright energetic
spirit and sweet cordial manner the
resemblance Of her mother, Sarah
Hoyt. who was born in Manchester and
continued after her marriage and resi-
dence in Brooklyn, n. y, to come TO
Manchester each summer with her
family. The occupied the old home
stead now known as "Elmo'er" and
still owned by the eldest daughter and
her husband, Mrs. and DR.. Clark Burn
ham.
Who that came TO Manchester in the
~old days" could forget Mrs. Spell
mans wonderful garden with its well
come of flowers; there was charm
and grace in those summer days pecul-
iarly associated with the family OF
Marion Spelman and we pay our trib-
ute Of loving appreciation for all they
have given and Of regret for those
who have been taken away, realizing

MORE THAN TEN
TONS OF MAIL
ORDER CATALOGS
Heaviest Express Shipment in
History of City Comes From
Montgomery & Ward

The largest express shipment ever
received in Bismarck arrived on the
North Coast Limited last night. 1t
weighed more than nine tons and con-
sisted of approximately $4,000 Mont
gomery & Ward catalogs, consigned
to the Wachter Transfer Co., for de-
livery by parcels post through the
Bismarck postofiice. Another ship
ment of ton and half Of the mail
order catalogs will be received to-
night. No. l last night carried con-
signments of Montgomery & Ward cat
alloys for Fargo, Bismarck and Bill
lings, the Bismarck allotment being
considerably the largest. The cata-
logs came into st. Paul in solid eX-
press carload lots, and the cars were
so heavily loaded that they were not
permitted to leave the st Paul term
inal until the cargo had been distrib.
uted. The North Coast Limited was
held here 80 minutes while the cata-
logs were being unloaded.
r. L. Walton, agent for the North.
ern Express Co. in Bismarck, reports
that the largest express shipment pre-
viOusly received here was six tons OF
repair parts which came in for the In
ternational Harvester Co. last sum-
mer. The mail order houses are be-
lieved to be using the express com
panies because Uncle Sam, who now
controls the railways, could not spare
the box-cars which ordinarily are used
for this traffic.

club which won the worlds champion

lieving they will repeat this year. ,.
THE RED (SOX-This, club is the
enigma Of the league. Nine regulars,
including manager Barry, have gone
into service and the 1918 club will be
an entirely different organization from
that which finished in second place
last fall. Ed Barrow, the new manag-
err, must build up new infia!d and re-
construct his outfield. The pitching
staff is almost as good as last year
with 1tuth. Mays, Leonard and Joe

BOMB BUG TO
BE RETURNED
TO AMERICA

Havana, Mar. 13.--Dr. Walter T. Sch
eele, who was indicted in New York
in 1916 for placing bombs on allied
ships in New York harbor, was de-
ported from Cuba today in custody
of American detectives.
Mr.. Scheele is said to have come to
Cuba, under an assumed name, as a
chemical expert. When he learned
that he was being Sought by American
secret service officers, it is said he
took refuge on board one of the Ger
man vessels interned in Havana har'
Dor. When Cuba entered the. war these
ships were seized by the Cuban gov
eminent, but Dr.. Scheele succeeded
in making his escape before the Cuba
officials went on board.
