Stay

Grand Forks, N. D., July l1.-P)
How Alexander Henry, the first
white man to make his home in
North Dakota for any considerable
length Of time, was impressed by
the natural resources Of the Red
River Valley is told by O. G. Libby,
head of the history department at
North Dakota University, in the fol-
lowing article. 1t is the sixth of a
series written by DR.. Libby for
the Associated Press and its men,
Der newspapers.
The article follows:
Alexander Henry, Jr., was a
nephew of the famous free trader.
Alexander Henry, who was. at Mac
mac in 1862. The elder Henry es-
capped the Indian massacre at this
post because of his friendship for
the Indians living here.
The younger Henry was one Of
the important traders in the en-
ploy of the Northwest Company.
He was placed in charge of the
upper Red River brigade Of trappers
and traders in 1900 and spent a
number of years in what is now
North Dakota. Starting out from
the headquarters of the Northwest
Company at Grand Portage on the
northern shore of Lake Superior,
he spent month travelling by
water to the present site of Winni-
peg. He passed sixty-ninc port

ages his men were obliged to carry
their canoes and baggage on their
backs for distances varying from
a few rods to several miles. This
gives one some little indication OF
the difficulties in travelling by
canoe at this early time.

Rumor Engagement OF
German Prince And
Millionaire Heiress

BERLIN, Feb. 26 (P)-Reports that
Prince Louis Ferdinand, 19-year-old
second son of the former German
crown prince, will marry the million
aire heiress Ursula Won Pannwitz, 16,
pretty daughter of Catarna Won Pam
witt, whose late husband made a for
tune in South America, continue to cir
culate with persistency which even
denials by the prince and his family
fail to down.
Frau Won Pannwitz and her only
daughter, though German citizens, live
in the villa lie Hartecamp not far from
the exile mansion of former Emperor
William II in Doom. The former kali
ser and Princess Hermine are frequent
luncheon guests at villa de Harte-
camp, and the prince has accompanied
his grandparents several times. Parents
and grandparents, especially Princess
Hermine are said to have framed the
match.
Ursula's father nearly 60 years ago
left Rostock, Germany, his birthplace,
a virtually penniless youth to seek
his fortune in Brazil. He accumulated
immense properties and at the time of
his death several years ago left an
estate conservatively estimated at TO-
900, 600 marks, of which Ursula will be
the sole heir after her mothers death.
If the marriage comes to pass, it will
be one of the most fortunate financial
matches ever made by a scion of the
house of Hohenzollern.

DuelIists Save Skins
But Overwork Hearts

BUDAPEST, Feb. 26 lP)-Hard work
and excitement proved more danger
Gus than flashing cavalry sabres in
a recent duel that is sending a ripple
Of laughter through society.
When Count Paul Palffy and Fried
rich Lederer, son of a wealthy mer-
chant, measured swords on the field
of honor, they found themselves
100 equally matched They executed
thrusts, parties and moulinets during
eight long rounds without scratching
each other. The doctor in attendance
seeing signs of exhaustion and know
ing ,he men, insisted upon an examin-
alton. He had the duel stopped
because the duellists' hearts were at
the point of collapse.
So the combatants, risking their
lives for bar-room quarrel, staggered
off the field, reconciled.
