turns from California Home

Bernhart M. Elzenhoefer, our old
soldier friend, arrived from Soldiers
Home, Calf, Sunday and will spend
the summer with friends at Surrey.
He spent the winter at the California
Soldiers Home, said to be the finest in
the United States. There are 13
large buildings on the grounds and
each houses about 200 men. There
is one building housing $50 World war
veterans and a fine hospital is oper-
ated in connection. The grounds are
very beautiful with wealth Of flow
ers everywhere.
Mr.. Elzenhoefer's health is not
good. He reports the death of his
son, Bernhart, former Minot young
man, who was electrocuted in Boston
nine months ago. He was an cleo
trical engineer. His wife was given
$4,000.00 in settlement.
Mr.. Elzenhoefer is anxious to locate
his son, George, from whom he has
not heard in years. The old soldier
has considerable property and is anx-
ious to turn it over to his son if he
can locate him.

Editor Gilbertsen of Glenburn was
in Minot Friday, to witness the Page
ant, accompanying the fine Glenburn
band, which added much to our cele-

ers displayed some especially good
horses at the fair.

MIR. Townley's Comeback

Mr.. Townley seems to have "come
back" in North Dakota, so far as the
state organization Of the Nonpartisan
league is concerned. This need not
surprise those who have known Mr..
Townley and who know the league.
Mr.. Townley is far too resourceful
a man to be easily kept down.. He
was the first love" of North Dakota
leaguers, and while he still has his
good and active wits about him he
does not propose to forget how that
love was obtained.
Mr.. Townley outgeneraled the men,
bers Of the leagues state executive
committee, without doubt, in calling
the Bismarck conference, which he
saw to it was largely composed Of his
own good followers. When the meet
ing was gathered he forced the COM
mittee to lay down it's cards and
showing that the other fellows cards
are wrong has always been Mr.. Town
ley's long suit.-Williston Herald.

"sassed' Editor Graham (?)

The Watford Guide: The editor
has never had the pleasure of meet
ing Secretary Hoover but judging
from some correspondence with him
recently we take it that the pleasure
was not all ours. The editor over
looked filling in and mailing one Of
the million or more reports required
of newspaper publishers by the gov
ernment. This report had something
to do with the census of manufactur-
us about it several times and then
wired about it. Then Secretary Hoo
yer wrote a very nice letter about it
and then he wired. It was the tele-
gram that led us to believe that Mr..
Hoover would like to have the pleas
ure of meeting US, for he said we were
holding up the whole United States
census report.

FRED TALLEY DIED FROM IN
JURIES Reed IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Fred Talley, who has made his home
in Minot for several years, died at
St. Joseph's hospital Saturday fore
noon, from concussion of the brain,
following an auto accident which oc-
Cured at nine o'clock Friday evening
on Third street S. E. near RosehiIl
cemetery. Talley never regained con-
seriousness after the accident.
Mrs. Irwin Williamson who was
riding in Talley's Studebaker car,
suffered severe scalp wounds and is
still in the hospital under treatment
at this writing, but her condition IS
reported as improving.
Haskell Talley, brother Of the de-
ceased, and Mrs. O. B. Grifeth, sister
of Mrs Williamson, who were riding
in the car, escaped serious injury,
merely being bruised about the body:
H. J. Schussler, sexton at Rose Hill
cemetery, was half a block away from
where the accident occurred and saw
it plainly. HALEY was driving his car
at very rapid rate, fifty or sixty
miles an hour, south. He had struck
a street crossing and this threw the
four wheels of the car clear Of the
ground. When the car struck the
highway again, Talley managed to-
turn it back into the road and soon
ran into a rut. Then he lost control
of the steering wheel and front
wheel was smashed, the car turning
over once and half times, lying on
it's side across the road, and facing
east.
Mr.. Schussler rushed to the scene
of the accident and found all four OF
the occupants lying free from the car.
Fred Talley was unconscious and MIR.
Schussler could feel a faint pulse
beat. He was not bleeding. Mrs.
Williamson was lying in ditch, un-
conscious and bleeding fearfully from
her wound. She regained conscious
ness in about two minutes and in ten
minutes her sister, Mrs. Griffeth, re-
gained consciousness. Haskell Talley
was able to get up and walk.
Mr.. Schussler hailed a passing auto
and assisted in taking Fred Talley
and Mrs. Williamson to the hospital.
The car was badly damaged, one
front wheel being smashed, and the
wind shield and top crushed.
Haskell Talley was taken to the
police station and questioned and Mrs.
Griffeth was taken to her room in the
Epstein block.
The funeral of Fred Talley was
held at 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon
from the Van Fleet undertaking par
lors. The services were in charge of
Rev. E. c. Keedy, pastor Of the Con-
gregational church. The services
were attended by a. large number of,
friends.
The out of town relatives attending
the funeral were the mother, Mrs.
Betty Talley of Piedmont, Kan, a
brother-in-law, John P. Beaton of
Mankato, Mimi, and Mrs. Harvey
Emanuel Of Berthold, a sister Of the
wife Of the deceased. .@-
Mr.. Talley was IS years of age and
he was born in Piedmont, Kans. He
came to North Dakota in 1905 and
resided at Oakes until 1907 when he
moved to Minot. He owned farms
north and south of Minot. He is sur
vived by his wife. ,.--.. .p*>

Farmers Will Do Their Own Shocking

Farmers Will Do Their Own Shocking
M. |. Ingebretson from near Glen
burn, visited Minot Saturday. He
reported that he had $50 acres in crop
this year and has cut his 16O acres
of rye. AS he was unable to hire
shockers, he intends to do the work
himself at his leisure. Thousands of
farmers will shock their own rye with
the assistance of their families, as
they can do this in plenty Of time for
the wheat harvest. North Dakota
farmers will have a great deal of
work to do this fall, but they are not
worrying on account Of shortage Of
farm labor. They do not become ex-
cited easily and while many would be
glad to hire hands at reasonable
wages, they do not propose to be-
come the victims Of greedy itinerant
farm laborers.

While Mr.. Ewing recommends ce-
menting the walls OF the pit and put.

regard this as necessary as the straw
covering keeps the snow until Octo-

Evidence of Ancient Lake Where
MinOt Stands

An ancient lake once existed where
Minot now stands according to evil
dences that have just been brot up
from the depths of the earth. While
boring for large we'll, of the series
at The Ward County Fair Grounds, a
mile east Of Minot, Contractor John
r. Hunter discovered the old lake bed
at depth of about 10 feet. He was
boring at the time just east of the
new concrete stock barn located to-
ward the north side of the grounds.
The boring apparatus brot up quanti-
ties of clam shells and such remains.
The depth at which found indicates
the antiquity Of the prehistoric body
of water.

is perniciously disappearing the

the campaign IS for the purpose of de-
Gliding which city is TO get the cap
ital, by a vote to be taken in the
June primary. Every word that was
uttered at the meeting at Ocala was
opposed to any contest for a site I'M
til after removal has been accom-
plished. The mention Of primary
for deciding who should be South
Florida's candidate was carefully
avoided If the Tribune wishes to
tell its readers what the organization
proposes to do first it can find it in
reports of the meeting held at Ocala
last Monday-to put the reapportion-
ment amendment over first. No hope
is held out that the capital removal
matter will be submitted to the people
before 1927, and it will be after the
people have voted for removal that a
site will be selected, the manner of
its selection being left to the legisla-
ture."

tians, and while evolution applies TO
a great deal that they teach it does
not seem TO disturb their Christianity
TO any great extent. We have had
some of these educators, whom we
know to be Of the highest type of ad-
vanced Christianity, tell us that Mr..
Bryan's idea was absurd. The other
day, an educator, who has won his
way to high place by sheer merit,
and who is a consistent and useful
member of the Baptist church, told us
of hearing Mr. Bryan's speech in
Gainesville, in which the peerless"
assailed Darwin. He said that he had
no doubt that Mr.. Bryan's speech
would cause more unorthodoxy among
young people than speech from In
gersoll, because it would set the boys
and girls to digging up statements
that their inexperienced minds could
not assimilate 80
Perhaps, as Mr.. Jones says, "all
men and women are not strong mind
ed" enough to read Darwin, but that
type of people wasn't thinking about
Darwin until Mr.. Bryan came along
and began trying to ride into the
United States Senate on the back OF
a gorilla.
