ALBERT SH|P10N Of
D0NNYbR00k DIES
Prominent Farmer, Formerly a Resi-
dent of Minot, Died Suddenly Of
Apoplcxy.

The following from the Donnybrook
Courier, tells of the death of Albert
Shipton, former resident of Minot.
Mr.. ShiptOn was one of the best citi-
zens of Ward county and his death is
generally regretted:
Last Sunday morning people of this.
community were startled by the re-
port that Albert Shipton was dead. 1t
is stated that he dropped dead without
warning after having raised up in bed
to shut off the alarm clock which had
started ringing. The local doctor was
Immediately summoned but upon his
arrival could do nothing but announce
that death had taken place. Apoplexy
is given as the probable cause.
Mr.. Shipton was 46 years of age. He
was man of Hercu1ean build and pos
sessed great physical strength, and ap-
peared at all times to be in the best
Of health. He was always a very
busy man, taking care of his large,
we'll developed farm and big herd
of dairy cattle.
The following obituary is contribut-
ed by Rev. Jas. Hughes.
"The deceased who passed away so
quietly and suddenly last Sunday
iuoIHiiS, az c'fo, was WCll hlioWL III
this vicinity, he and his family having
lived on their farm two miles south
west of town since 1906. His health
seemed to be usually good and hence
the entire community was shocked at
his unexpected departure. He was
born near Spring Valley, Mimi, and
grew up in that country to young
manhood. After he was 18 years Of
age he was attracted by the west and
saw many places in it before he set
tied down. On May Goth, 1902, at
Minot, he and Miss Minnie LaVaNe
were united in marriage. and to this
union five children were born, four OF
whom survive, the oldest having gone
on before in her infancy. They lived
in Cut Bank, Mont, where Mr. Ship
ton was employed as inspector of the
Great Northern roundhouse IN that
place until they removed to Donny-
brook.
Mr.. Shipton was quiet, hard-work-
ing and thrifty man. He was true
husband, splendid neighbor, kind
father and rich provider for his
family. OF all the good he was num-
bered among the best. His early life
was spent among the Lutherans and
Methodists, and he was reared in the
Protestant faith to, be thoroughly
good man."
The funeral services were held at
the house this afternoon, Rev. Hughes
officiating, and burial was made in the
Odd Fellow cemetery.

significance.
1t is to be understood that every
woman Of the city is heartily invited
to join with the crowd for the evening.
There are evidently no bars Of any
kind. Already nearly seven hundred
girls have evidenced their intention of
attending and the list of women to be
big sisters and mothers for the even
ing numbers about three hundred and
fifty. These numbers indicate that
there is fine opportunity for several
hundred women to select a daughter or
little sister for the evening. A spec
ial canvass of the mothers of the city
has been made thru the city schools,
but there are hundreds of women who
could not be reached in this way.
Consequently an opportunity is CIV
en- all women who have not registered,
to report their intentions Of attending
the Get-together by registering at the
Y. w. C. A. rooms at any time be-
tween now and Monday forenoon, pre-
ferably at once. Cards are placed in
noticeable position near the door, so
if an attendant is not at hand, each
woman may help herself.
There are no admission fees, but
each woman is to bring a Standard
lunch," the exact menu of which can
be secured at the Y. w. c. A. rooms.
This lunch is to be large enough for
two--the mother" and the 'daugh-
ter"
No woman is to stay at home be-
cause she has no daughter, or be-
cause she has too many daughters, nor
is any girl to remain away for want
of a mother or big sister, An
agency" will be established near the
entrance so that the "motherless" and
"dauphterless" can find each other.

H. NJ. Wilson Addresses ''lnquisitors. -
The 9Sth dinner Of the 1nquisitors'
club was held last night at the Elks'
Home. The paper of the evening was
read by Henry NJ. Wilson, manager of
the international Oil Co., of this city
who chose :is his subject, coil and the
War" Mr.. Wilson showed that oil
was one Of the main factors in win
ming the great world war. The oil
producers of the United States fur
nlshed practically all of the oil used
by the Allies on the western front
and there was never time when there
was not plenty of oil at hand. It re-
quired 78 carloads of oil day for the
Allies along the western front and out
of every 35 cars used, the United
States furnished 80 of those cars. 1t
required great many tank steamers
to carry this fuel and the Germans,
realizing that the product was so i'm
portant in the winning of the war for
the allies, made special effort to
sink the valuable cargoes. Oil had
to be transported with the greatest
secrecy. Every day the Allies used
about as much oil as is handled in the
city of Minot during an entire year.
At the conclusion of the paper Mr..
Wilson was given an opportunity to
explain many interesting phases of
the oil business, with which he is en-
tirely conversant.

DICK P0SEY,ExAAUST:
fD,lAYS down TO DIE
Had Been Left ON Prairie Southwest
Of Darlington Saturday-Bedy
Found Accidentally Sunday.

Darlington, n D., May l2.-Dick
Posey. left on the prairie in the hills
countrv Saturday afternoon, wander
ed around probably several hours,
then laid down and died of exposure.
He was found Sunday afternoon By
Charles Vogt, who was passing thru
the prairie section.
Mr.. Posey had left his home west Of
Melville early Saturday afternoon,
against his better judgment, to 70 to
a neighbor's home with Jake Shaeffer
and his two sons, who had called at
the Posey farm in an auto. On their
return from calling on several neigh
bors, it appears that they struck
mud hole and Dick got out of the car
to help extricate the car. He was
left on the prairie.
1t is said that Shaetfer had some
home made alcohol with him and was
we'll under its influence. altho neither
of his grown sons had touched any of
the liquor. At any rate. the auto with
the three Shaeffers in it proceeded on
to the Shaeffer home. No word was
given out that Posey had been left
on the prairie.
There were no marks whatever on
Dicks body, so there is no thought of
foul play in, connection with his
death. No one has been found who
saw him alive after the Shaeffers left,
and it is presumed that he walked
until exhausted, then laid down TO
rest and died from exposure, cold
rain falling during the time. When
found, the body was about three-quar-
ters of mile from Martin Hegna's
home.
Mr.. Posey was a powerfully built
fellow, one of the physical "iants of
this region. He was "a years old and
leaves wife and six children, the
eldest child being 13. During the hol-
idays, he took out $4,000 life insur-
ance policy. He has been farming
west Of Melville and had already start
ed his spring seeding operations.

|. W. ARE RA|DED
AND 1877 FORCED
To KISS FLAG
Nearly All Are Driven Out of
Town
SEVEN LEADERS JAILED
Were Holding Meeting in Barn
Large Quantity of "Red"
Literature Seized

Weirton, w, ", Oct. 7.-One hun
dred and eighteen alleged members of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
captured in raid near here today,
were marched into the public square
of .Weirton, forced to kiss the Ameri-
can flag and were then driven out of
town by police and deputies. Seven
others, suspected of being the lead.
ers, after kissing the flag, were taken
to the county jail at New Cumberland
where they will be held pending in
vestigation by federal authorities.
The raid was carried out without
any serious disorder Authorities of
Hancock county and Weirton had
been searching for the rendezvous of
the alleged |. w. w. since several
days ago when there appeared on the
sidewalks here written threats that
"the l. w. w. will get you" Last
night the meeting place of the men
wanted was located in an old barn on
the Hancock county road, south OF
here 1t was surrounded by heavily
armed deputies and few entered the
barn. The few men in the barn
sought to escape without success.
A search of the place resulted in
the finding of large quantity of
Red" literature, half a ton, it was
said. in which the flag Of anarchy was
extoled and the prediction made that
the extremists would rule the world.
The deputies also found the names of
1877 men, supposed to be members of
the organization meeting in the barn.
Immediately deputies were sent out
and the men were rounded up in the
public square. and even after they
were corralled there was resistance
when the deputies gave them the OPP
tion of kissing the flag or going TO
jan
a big American flag was strung
across the street over their heads
while another flag was used for the
kissing. Most of the men were Firms
and they were told in their native
that they must kiss the flag or
remain in custody. Protests came
from many but they were in vain
Some voluntarily took hold of the flag
and buried their faces in it. The men
were then informed that they must
leave town. Again there was pro-
test from many, but they were escort
ed to the town limits. nevertheless,
and ordered to leave Immediately.
1t is claimed that most Of the men
were furnace workers and that they
came here from Woodlawn, Pa, near
Pittsburgh, few days ago.
