Ez5E E;ADVENTURE CLUB

We ran a picture of Helen
Bennett, 2720 Thirteenth st.
N. w., in the column, but we
don't think any of her friends
would have recognized it. She
was, the front part of the cow
ghost in the picture of Freda
Captains Adventure story over
VOL.
Remember. we mentioned
at the time that Helen was
douo.ing for "bossy's" head and
we promised to run another
picture of her soon. We are
keeping our promise today.
The baby, who, her mother,
Mrs. Belle Cohen, also of 272O
Thirteenth st. N. w., claims is
the clubs youngest member, is
Rhoda Cohen, age six months.
We have a hunch that Mrs.
Cohen is wrong. 1t seems to us
we signed 'em up as young as
four months.
You Tell One
Helen and Rhoda, with Mrs.
Cohen, were in the day we
made the Adventure picture of
Freda. And WASN'T Freda's
talk over VOL thrilling? We
thought it was, and we hope
we are going to have as good
a one this week.
Kit Karson wants each club
member to send in the name
of some child apt to be over
look by Santa Claus this holi-
day. The carrier boys of The
Washington Times give a party
every year for the orphans of
the city, and Kit has asked
them to invite the youngsters
whose names you send it. The
names will NOT be published
We promise that nd we can
also promise. that they will
have a good time at the party.
Remember it is to be the name
of a boy or girl in your neigh
borhood whose mother and
father are not going to be able
to give him or her Christmas
this year.
Be Kind
The club members are not
invited. The party is for kids
who WON'T have a Christmas
otherwise. This is your op-
portunity, boys and girls, to do
something for the other fellow.
There are a number of kids
in your neighborhood who
would LOVE to go to the party.
We won't tell them how we
got their names. That will be
secret between us.
Also Kit has asked us to dig
up some musical talent for the
twice a week radio program
over VOL. A couple of young
sters called us on the phone
just the other day offering to
put on a Saxaphone act. They
did not give their names but
promised to come by some day
and have their pictures made.
We haven't seem 'em or heard
anything from them since. If
you play any kind of a musical
instrument or sing now is your
time to have your friends hear
you over the radio.

JOE W0RNER IS MISSING
Three Hurt in Car Mishap Near
Penitentiary; Farmer Has
MangIed Hand

At least one man was believed dead
and four other persons were injured
IN three accidents reported to Bur-
leigh authorities Wednesday.
Joe Worner. Burleigh county farm
laborer, is believed to have drowned
when his car dived over an embauk-
ment into the Missouri river 10 miles
south Of Bismarck Sunday.
Bernard Fuestenberg, TT. Lincoln
soldier, was knocked unconscious, Miss
Margaret Schooner of 40 Second
st. was severely cut and Miss Harriet
Maln, $40 Second St., and Vern Magic
Of Bismarck were bruised when the
car in which they were riding turned
over near the penitentiary at about
7:30 p. m. Tuesday. Miss Schooner
was given first aid treatment at the
prison hospital where seven stitches
were taken in her leg. Fuestenberg
was given emergency treatment ut st.
Alexius hospital and later was remov-
ed to the infirmary at the post.
Adam Rott, McClusky farmer, is in
a local hospital suffering from intur-
les sustained when his hand was
caught in the machinery Of q COM
bine Tuesday. He lost three fingers
on his left hand and suffered severe
laceration about the hand and wrist.
Authorities were searching for the
body Of Worner Wednesday. believing
that he was drowned some time Sun
day night. An employe Of william
Mcdonald, farmer in the bottoms, he
had been visiting at the home Of a
neighbor Sunday and had not beef
seen since Sunday evening.
Friends became alarmed when he
failed to return after two days. ana
instituted search Wednesday morn
ing. His car was discovered by An
drew Irvine, neighbor.
Representatives of the sheriffs Of
flee and w. E. Perry. coroner, were
directing the search for his body.
The car was found near the point
where two Sterling hunters met death
last fall.
The searching party succeeded in
getting the car clear of the water af-
ter several hours work only to find
that Worner apparently had been
thrown from the car when it fell or
his body had been washed out Of the
tonneau by the current. The fact
that his machine was an open car led
them to believe the second theory
most probable.
Authorities at points along the riv-
er have been notified and have been
asked to be on the lookout for the
body. A boat patrol under the direc-
ton of Deputy Sheriff Fred Anstrom
also was conducting search for the
body.
The coroner was attempting to get
in touch with Worner's relatives We'd
nesday. An insurance policy found
among his effects indicated that he
leaves his mother and his divorced
widow.
The Worner accident occurred on
an abandoned road where the Mis-
souri, had cut into the bank leaving
a steep drop-off into the river.
