ELECTION RESULTS
ARE STILL TN DOUBT
STACKER KILLED IN
ATTEMPTED ESCAPE
Lloyd c. Cole, Draft Evader, Killed
When He Attempts to Avoid
Arrest.

A man of questionable reputation,
who went under the name of Lloyd
C.. Cole, was killed last Friday after
noon while attempting to avoid ar
rest, by Deputy Sheriff Clarence
Hall of this city.
Complaints had come into the sher-
iff's office at different times concern
ing the man Cole, but as he was a
drifter at all times, it was not until
last Friday that the officers were able
to get an exact check as to his where
abouts. Reports came in that he was
then stopping at the home of ranch
er on the Missouri river, and Deputy
Hall went out to make the arrest.
Hall did not know the man and pass
ed him on the way out to the ranch.
He learned of this fact at the ranch,
got description of the man, and
started back, overtaking Cole just
south of the Adam Lenz bridge. Up
on being called upon to halt Cole, who
was riding saddle horse, immediate
ly dived into the thick brush near the
bridge.
Hall sent to town for help and Dep
uty H. H. Seeley and Curt Dennies
went out to help round the fugitive
up. After searching through the
brush for about an hour Hall discov.
cred his man and at the same time
Cole saw the deputy. He opened fire
on Hall with a high power rifle, fir.
ing two shots, one of which came
dangerously near Curt Dennis. He
then made dash for the river anG
was nearly across when the deputy
stopped him. Hall fired three shots
wild in an attempt to stop the mar
without killing him, but to no avail.
Cole was riding a bay horse, will
star in forehead, snip on nose, sway
back, collar mark on name, clippet
foretop and with white spot in lef
eye. Was about ten years old an<
weighed about 900. The saddle wa
cheap one, evidently of Sears & Roe
buck make, and with cowhide saddle
pocket.
It is thought that Cole had reputa
tion behind him in addition to bein(
a Stacker.

Town Situation Better but Coun.
try Cases Rapidly Increase.
School viii Not Open.
Ban WILL REMAIN INDEFINITELY
County Health Officer Simpkins Re-
ports Improvement in City of Glas-
No Public Gatherings
Will Be Permitted Until
Further Notice.

The influenza epidemic which has
raised havoc over the entire nation,
is, according to DR.. J. C. Simpkins,
local health officer, still far from be-
ing under control in this section.
While some little improvement has
been noted in the towns over the coun-
ty, the disease is making sweeping
headway in the rural districts and bids
fair to reach most serious stage.
The county schools will not be open
ed for some little time yet and unless
the epidemic abates will remain clos
ed indefinitely.
Every doctor and nurse in the county
is working night and day to check the
spread of the disease and it is hoped
that within the next week, or ten days,
the spread of the disease will be check
ed.
DR.. Simpkins is in receipt of the fol-
lowing communication from the state
department of health at Helena:
To The Health Officers:
The question as to when the ban
should be lifted from schools and pub
lie gatherings will no doubt be pre-
sented to the local and county health
departments some time in the future.
In order that we might have the ad-
vice of experienced men l wired Sur
geon General Blue Of the United
States public health service, and DR..
Eugene R. Kelley, health commission
er for the state of Massachusetts,, and
have received the following advice:
"Ban on public gatherings and
schools should not be lifted until epi-
demic has subsidized end approximate
ly normal conditions prevail. (Signed)
Blue"
"Under no circumstances should the
ban on public gatherings be lifted un.
til you are absolutely sure that cpl
demic influenza has been reduced to
the lowest minimum in your communi.
ty. If your community acts as draw
ing center to any great extent fol
other communities in which the dis.
ease may still be present in epidemic
form, this fact should have consider.
able weight in such action as you may
take relative to the resumption o1
normal activities. (Signed) Eugene R
Kelley"
The state department of health re-
quests that you be guided by the above
advice.

PREPARING PEACE DEMON
STRATION.

Indications now point that
Germany will sign the armistice
sumbitted by the Allies. If this
comes true Glasgow and Valley
County should begin to prepare
Immediately for a big demon
stration of this event. The
Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
requests that the fire whistle,
engine whistles and church bells
ring continuously upon the re-

Guard band and Home Guards
will be on hand to help cele-
brate. 1t is hoped completed

With thirty-four precints out of
thirty-nine reported in Valley county
the race between John L. Slattery and
A. U. Sands for state senator is very
close with Sands leading by nineteen
votes.
However, the outstanding precincts
are all thought to be favorable to Slat-
terry and the returns from them may
give him a substantial lead over his
democratic opponent.
Valley county went strongly Nom
partisan in the United States sena-
torial race, giving Jeanette Rankin
a total of 921 votes as against 648 for
Lanstrum and 636 for Walsh. Riddick,
Republican candidate for congress, is
leading Mitchell in the county by 981
to s18.
The state election returns received
up to going to press point to the elec-
tion of Senator T. J. Walsh for Unit

MR.. AND MRS. PARKS
VICTIMS OF "FL

One of the saddest cases as the re-
suit Of the dreadful Spanish influen-
"a which has reached US, was that of
the death of Mr.. Walter v. Parks and
wife of Frazer, which occurred with
in four days Of each other, leaving
three small children, the eldest of
whom is three years, and the young
est three months.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parks were brought
to Glasgow for medical treatment, and
taken to the Detention hospital, but
the ravages of the disease had taken
such a firm grip upon its victims
that both succumbed to the grim
reaper, the father passing away on
Thursday and the mother the follow
ing Sunday. They were laid to rest
in the Glasgow cemetery.
Mrs. Parks has brother living in
Frazer, who with the many friends of
the family deeply mourn their loss.

DEATH OF HEART FAILURE.

People living in the vicinity of
Grain were greatly shocked the first
of the week to learn of the death of
Mrs. L. C. Greenman, who resided in
that community.
On Monday Mr.. Greenman was away
from the farm hauling grain, and up
on his return found his wife dead with
the children playing about in the
yard, apparently unconscious of their
loss.
The body was brought to Glasgow,
and upon examination it was found
that death was the result of heart fail
ure.
The funeral took place here on Wed
nesday. The children will be placed
in Home.

in the United States OF America as a
government Of the people, by the peo-
pie, for the people; whose just powers
are derived from the consent of the
governed; democracy in a republic;
a sovereign nation OF many sovereign
states, a perfect union, one and insep-
arabic; established upon those princi-
pies Of freedom, equality, justice and
humanity for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
II therefore believe it is my duty to
my country to love it, to support its
constitution, to obey it's laws, to re-
spect it's flag, and to defend it against
all enemies"
Asks Fair Taxes for Railroads.
It seems that even government con-
troll of railroads does not remove the
question Of taxation, and now the
government itself is placed in the po-
sition of asking the governors OF the
several states, through Mr.. McAdoo, to
protect the roads against being over
taxed. In the old struggle over rail-
road matters, the difficulty was to
make the roads pay enough taxes, but
Mr.. McAdoo now points out that the
U. S. government is the taxpayer, and
that "the imposition of unnecessary
state and local taxation on the rail
roads will be distinct impeachment to
carrying on of the war and an added
burden upon the government"
"Enemy Propaganda"
Some we'll meaning people have
started chain-letter against enemy
propaganda" concerning the Red
Cross; all of which seems quite unne-
cessary, as no intelligent person who
knows the organization will be in the
least affected by the ISLANDERS of the
organization Or it's members. There
have been no difficulties in the con-
duct of any of the Red Cross people
abroad, and if there should happen to
be an isolated case, it would be dealt
with so promptly and vigorously by
the organization itself that it would
not affect its work or its purposes.
Stamp as malicious and malignant
any such yarns!

People of Ellsworth Much Wrought
up by Letter in French Written
to Sergeant Risetter now in
France.
TRANSLATION CLEARED DOUBT.
Frenchman Wrote American Friend
at Home Address, not knowing
Army Address.

A letter addressed to Sergeant
Holden Risctter, written in French
reached Ellsworth yesterday. Ser
geant Risetter is in France with the
Rainbow division and the arrival of
letter from Franco written in French
gave his parents much concern. They
could not read the missive, nor could
anyone else in the town. The parents
and townpeople were very much
wrought up, thinking, perhaps, that
Sergeant Risetter was on his, way
home. His parents were much eX-
ercised and the father took an auto
and brought the letter to County At
torney Burnstedt in this city. Mr..
Burnstedt studied French years ago
at the state university and was able
to translate the letter. The transla-
ton relieved the parents, and friends
greatly.
The letter had been written by a
French soldier. Sergeant Risetter
met the Frenchman while the latter
was on furlough. The French soldier
later wished to write his American
friend, and, knowing only his home adj
dres, had written him at Ellsworth.
Following is the letter:
CARRIES, the "a March, 1918. Vive
1'Amerique, Sergeant Risetter:
| take the liberty to write you in
French as l am ignorant OF your Ian
guage, to thank you for your visit at
Rennepont during the time OF my
short furlough. This visit, or rather
unexpected meeting, demonstrates and
gives evidence of the love your nation
has for our people.
81 can understand and appreciate
your misfortune, that you labor so
far from your home, far from all that
you hold so dear and are fond Of;
but l venture to promise you that in
France you will find many and true
friends and feminine admirers to see
to it that you will forget your troubles
and to take your mind from them.
81 express the hope that this will
bring peace some day to both our
native lands; but am like you in the
desire to crush the Boches. feel
that this is your wish to bring to
our homes. l hope to soon be back at
the front, and that the future may
dawn brightly for us; but there Is
always doubt, if l see you again,
but | want to assure you that | shall
always kindly remember you as our
friendly ally.
81 remain your servant and extend
you a cordial hand.

ANOTHER SCHOOL
Entertainment
Will BE Given Next Friday Evening,
April 10. in Lincoln High School
Auditorium.
TWO PARTS TO THE PROGRAM
Two Glee Clubs and Orchestra Will
Take Part.-PrOmise Il Real
Cabaret.
TWO PARTS TO THE PROGRAM

The next step toward the goal OF
making Lincoln high school 100 per
cent institution in the Red Cross
drive, is to be given Friday evening
April 10, at s o'clock, in Lincoln audi
forum.
Miss Rosalind Cook, music director
has a delightful entertainment to pre-
sent to the public at that time. The
program will be a novelty of great in
terest by reason of it's unusual variety
The two large glee clubs Of which the
high school is very proud, will give a
concert, assisted by the orchestra, and
interspersed with solos, a duet, and a
hitherto positively never-before-on-
boards male quartet There will
be two divisions of the program, the
first of which is conducted by The two
glee clubs-girls' and boys. The
public will get definite idea OF the
work which may be accomplished in
this special line--and the glee clubs
do not mean to disappoint anybody.
Part two of the program will be a
decided innovation. The first scene is
an adaptation of His Sweethearts."
We don't know who the hero is, but
we know that some of these sweet
hearts are very charming, and have
exceptionally good voices. Special
lighting effects and scenery are being
prepared for this part, and both beauty
and amusement will be afforded the
audience.
Scene two of this part is a real gen.
uine cabaret! A great amount of work
and ingenuity is going into this feat
ure. OF course you wonder how
Hooverized methods of eating by the
cabaret process can possibly get into
concert. We simply are not going to
tell-just go and see for yourself.
Members of the glee clubs have
tickets for sale at the modest price of
50 cents for adults and % for children,
Judging by the premium upon space
in former entertainments of this kind,
don't delay in purchasing your ticket
The young people are enthusiastically
working to help the Red Cross and
they are anxious to have your coopera-
ton and will promise you an evening
of pleasure and relaxation.
