FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
Nov 28.-A pretty girl, who prefers
to stick to her lines in a stage pro-
duction, was the topic of extracur-
ricular conversation among Wash

Weiner, $500 Sixteenth street NV,
both representatives of local Draft
Board No. 10-hurriedly grabbed
seats next to the young woman and

Then the tankers began firing into
the mess. I knew that it must be
really serious when the tankers were

The fighting stopped almost as
suddenly as it started

Recalls Disappearance
of Young Minister

The Rev. p. w. Haynes, a Metho-
dist minister of Culbertson, has
written to Sheriff Baney regard
ing the skull that was found near
Troy and reported in the Western
News last week. The story was
also carried in the Great Falls Tri-
bune. The Rev. Mr.. Haynes recalls
the disappearance of young min
lister at Troy in 1896 and wonders
If there might be some connection
with that disappearance and the
finding of the skull. The Rev. Mr..
Haynes writes.
Noting in the Great Falls Tri-
bune that skull had been found
near Troy, Mont, | thought possibly
there might be some connection with
the disappearance of the Rev Alexes
Berk, young Methodist minister
VINO was appointed to that field
in 1896. He was last seen, | think,
IN October when he left, lightly
clad, with his gun to 20 hunting.
A wide and exhaustive search was
made to find his body without sue
cess. He was unmarried but car
ried some insurance in favor of
his mother. After long delay the
company paid the insurance. 1t
was assumed that, lacking expert
ence in the woods, and owing to
the density of the forest, he became
lost and persisted from exposure

county authorities rendered assist
ance in the search Rev. George
c. Stull, the district superintendent,
now deceased, led in the search.
Rev. Stull was chaplain in the
u. S. army and went to the Phil
lppines in 1898.
