TYPEsETrER GETS INTO
SERIOUS TROUBLE

Mitchell. S. D., Nov. "a linotype
operator named Matzigkeit, a German
VINO, IN an emergency caused by sick
ness or the regular man, was tempo
rarlly employed on the Mitchell Daily
Gazette, finds himself in a serious diff
nculty because he added some words
TO q dispatch announcing the death in
France of Father c. E. O'Flaherty, q
we'll known and popular clergyman OF
South Dakota, who was killed on the
held OF battle by the explosion Of q
German shell while going to the aid Of
American soldiers.
Moral: Do not be too inquisitive."
These are the words which the Ger
man linotype man added to the news
paper story. Mitchell friends of the
dead clergyman regarded this as a base
reflection upon the loyalty and patriot
ism OF Father O'Flaherty as an Amer
lean citizen, and the result was that
Matzigkeit was summarily removed
from the newspaper office force, and
In addition was summoned before the
county council of defense for investi-
cation as to his loyalty. Members Of
the county council of defense intimate
that he may be deported to Germany
as soon as the war ends
The newspaper in which the added
words appeared also is short Of proof
readers. and the words went through
an entire edition and were given wide
circulation over the state.
The Mitchell Typographical Union.
OF which Matzigkeit is a member, will
take up the matter of his loyalty at an
early meeting, and his expulsion from
the union is probable.

by the legislature in 1916, defeated on
