Claude Terrell dropped in to see
the editor this morning. He had just
finished his job as juryman at this
term of court and was about to leave
for his home in Ashtabula township.
Some weeks ago, in January, If we
are not mistaken, Mrs. Alice Ander-
son had the misfortune to lose her
farm home by fire and lost all she
had. The neighbors helped them out
to the best of their ability and Claude
Terrell circulated petition for aid
with the result that he collected $342
in cash. 106 bushels Of potatoes, $50
pounds of flour, hogs, 100 cans of
canned goods, some pillows, 5 loads
of wood, and many other useful ar
ticles too numerous to mention. Mr.
Terrell put in eight days of his time
looking after this matter and feels
that he has lots of friends as the re-
suits of his canvass shows. Mrs.
Anderson is a widow with several
children and the friends who have
contributed to her needs have her
hearty thanks and appreciation.

The time of the Walter Barr fun
eral has been changed from this af-
ternoon to tomorrow Afternoon at 2
o'clock. We were in error yesterday
in stating that Mrs. Barr accompa-
MED her husband to Fargo. Mrs. Barr
died nine years ago. Miss Barr ac-
companied her father. Mr.. Barr states
that Walter had been getting along
fine but had undergone an operation
to have silver tube placed in his
leg. He recovered consciousness af-
ter the operation but the effects Of
the ether were too much for him and
he died quite suddenly just after be-
coming conscious. Walter was slight
ly gassed when overseas and it is
thought that the effect of this had
weakened him so that he could not
stand the anaesthetic.
