FLYER Strikes An
Auto; One is Dead

A sad ending came to the marriage
plans of Herbert McCuskey of Hol-
yoke. last Thursday evening when his
bride, Mrs. Steppe, was fatally in
jured when the car in which she was
riding was struck by the evening
flyer at Nickerson crossing.
The accident occurred when Mr..
and Mrs. B. F.. Rowe, their younger
daughter, and their older daughter.
Mrs. Steppe, all of Duquette, were
caught on the crossing by the fast
moving flyer. Their car, was demOl-
ished and they were all somewhat in
jured. They were rushed to st.
Mary's hospital in Superior following
the accident where Mrs. Steppe passed
away.
1t is not exactly clear as to how
the accident happened but there was
a fog and it is thought that Mr.. Rowe
did not see a freight train on the
sidetrack obstructing the roadway
until after he had driven onto the
tracks. Before he could get back out
of the way the flyer was upon them.
Mrs. Steppe was to have become the
bride of Mr.. McCuskey this week. Her
funeral was held at Holyoke Wednes-
day. Friends far and near are
shocked at her sudden death and
grieve with the family because of
their misfortune.

the American Red Cross visited in
Pine City and Hinckley Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week. Dealing es-
pecially with the problem of the
forthcoming roll call, Mr.. Hagen
expressed great satisfaction with the
roll call committee of the county.
Mrs. A. E. Eddy of Hinckley, as
chairman of the county Chapter and
Mrs. Jens Miller of Pine City, as
county roll call chairman have in
deed given fine leadership. The Of
ficers and co-workers throughout the
county are to be congratulated on
the fine showing made in the 1888
roll CALL" said Mr.. Hagen.
Speaking of Red Cross work, Mr..

erous services rendered by the Red

home hygiene and life saving, the Red

lief and work in time of disaster. A
million six hundred twenty-seven
thousand dollars was spent last year
in disaster relief to 10000 sufferers
in 1853 counties in the United States.

gional Baseball tournament held at

victory entitled the Sturgeon Lake
club to represent this region in the
state tournament at st. Paul begin
ming on Monday and continuing
throughout the week.
Sturgeon Lake breezed through the
game on Sunday behind the master
full pitching of Mack Anderson aided
by good fielding and effective hitting
in the pinches. They came off with
an early lead when Winquist, the op-
ponents' starting pitcher, failed to find
the plate, walking Gay and NJ. Cum
ningham. Gay scored on two con-
secutive errors. Monroe scored when
Joe Klar singled after a single by
Jack Cunningham. At this point

was sent in. He Jared we'll until the
fifth inning, when single by Gay,

triple by Joe Klar and a single by
Lynn Anderson produced four runs.

garnered in the eighth inning when
NJ. Anderson singled, Nelson forced
him at second and in turn was forced
by Bobby Olson and Olson scored
when Gay doubled to left field.
Mack Anderson held the Wright
club to two hits up to the eighth in
ming. In the eighth G. Quinn singled
after two men were out and scored
when Davis doubled.
Joe Klar was the heavy hitter for
the Sturgeon Lake club, getting three
hits in four times at bat. Bobby Oh
son was the shining star in the field,
making four sensational put-outs of
what appeared to be potential hits.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG sTRANDVOLD

internationally speaking, the most
far-reaching event Of the week was
the admission of the Russian Soviet
government into the League of Ma
tions as the result of an invitation
signed by 33 members, and later
made unanimous; few hours after
the voting the Leagues Council held
an extra meeting and voted unan-
imously to admit Russia as a per-
manent member. These decisions
were made during the first week of
the fifteenth annual general assem-
bly, of the League held at Geneva,
Switzerland, and they were preceded
by quite little discussion as to the
qualifications of the Moscovites. The
mere fact, however, that the Russian
candidacy had been strongly backed
by Great Britain, France and Italy
was in itself a guarantee that ma
tion, which until recent years was
considered something like an outcast,
now would be admitted into the elite
society of countries.
There had been much pickering;
much manoeuvering for position; a
great deal of acrimonious debate, but
whatever opposition to Russia as a
League member may have existed,
before the forceful endorse
ment of the three great powers, and
the delegations representing the few
protesting countries finally were per-
suaded to abstain from voting so that
the possibility of an adverse vote
was precluded.
Another LitvinOv Triumph.
It cannot be denied that the Rus
sian League membership signified
one more diplomatic triumph for
Maxim Litvinov, Russian foreign min
lister; he has way IS getting what
he wants to get. Exemplifying this
ability it may be recalled that he has
succeeded in concluding non-aggres-
sion treaties with all potential foes
of Russia Except, so far, Japan; he
smoothed out very serious difficulties
with Great Britain, France and Ger
many, and he succeeded in engineer
ing what was considered an almost
impossible task, namely that of OBJ
