Has Close Call
john Aitcheson's Marrow Escape
From Stray Bullet

rom .otTdS Duiitl
JOHN Atcheson. member of the
firm of J. and Fl. Aitcheson, ma
chinists. ia and 116 King street, had
very narrow escape from death by
beirg struck by a stray bullet fired
by an unknown party at 4.3O O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. and Ernest NJ.
Dcmaine. S19 King street. who was
also in the cilice talking with Mr.. Ant
cheson. was close by as the bullet
whizzcd past Mr.. Aitcheson's face,
being only about an inch from strik-
ing him. Mr. Aitcheson was sitting at
his desk facing the south when the
bullet came through the screen door
and then passed out the front window.
Immediately after the affair an IN
vestigation was begun by Mr.. Altche-
son and also the members of the po-
lice to find some trace Of the party
guilty of firing the shot. All efforts
however, were unavailing and the op-
inion prevails that it was someone
practicing in the alley in the rear of
the Aitcheson shops ard that imme-
t}iately after firing it they became
frightened and ran away.

to show that the communist party

to act on the nominations made by
President Wilson for the special rail-

friends as Colonel Bill" spent busy
day in Brookings Tuesday. In the
morning he addressed the students at
chapel at State college, from which
he graduated in 1897. He spoke very
Interestingly on the subject of military
training. "It does not take three
years to make soldier any more,
he said, Il admit that it would take
three years under the old system OF
breaking mans spirit entirely down
and then trying to reconstruct him
into a soldier It would take three
thousand years That system Is not
American and cannot make an Ameri-
can soldier" General Halle, from q
civilian point of view, strongly favors
universal training for young men rs
most valuable part Of their educa'
ton and business training.
General Halle was a guest of the
Rotary club at it's MONDAY luncheon
held in the basement Of st. Pauls
Episcopal church, and gave a very fine
talk on military affairs in the state
and nation. In the afternoon he IN
spected the Reserve Officers Training
Corps units at State college.

LOCAL GIRL IN RECITAL

Miss Evelyn Rude, one of Brook
ings' most talented. singers now study
ing in Chicago, delighted a fair sized
audience with a song recital at the
college auditorium last Thursday even
ing Miss Rude Is spending a few
weeks with her parents in this city
and very kindly gave the people of
Brookings an opportunity to hear her.
Owing to conflicting activities the aud
ience was not as large as it would
otherwise have been but il was very
appreciative The recital was given
under the auspices Of the Business
Girls club.
Miss Rude graduated from the de.
partment OF voice at State college in
1917. She is now studying under Lu-
ciEe Stevenson in Chicago. She has
a very pleasing soprano voice. The
program was attractively arranged
with a wide variety Of old classics and
modern songs. The selections chosen
were especially well suited to Miss
Rude's rendition. Ii is seldom that
an audience can hear such an excel
lent program given by so accomplished
a singer. Mrs Claire Wiley Milne
acted as her accomplish and assisted
with a group of piano selections which
were greatly appreciated.
