LARSON'S DEATH Canadian Soldier Who Was With Minot Soldier the Night. He Fell. Tells How He Carried Body Back Into the Trench Amid Hail of Shells. Mrs. T. Larson received a letter from Alfred S. Chapman, of the 27th Battalion Co., Canadian Expedi tionary Forces, who was the dearest chum of her son, Walter Oswald Lar son, who was killed while fighting in France on the morning of June 26. Mr. Chapman was with Walter when he fell and he tells in a graphic man ner of his carrying the body back to the trench amid a hail of shells and bullets. lie writes: "Dear Mrs. Larson: "I am going to write few lines to give you some news of your son, Walter, a good chum of mine, and he was a good or/ too. 1 think he did write a few lines to you on the 24th of June on a iield card, but I am not sure, but he wrote four letters and two cards. He sent a letter with a nice little silk handkerchief to his lit tle niece (Mrs. Selaniler'd daughter, which has already been received). "He i.s dead now, the poor boy. He got killed on the night of June 24 or the morning of the 25th. He was out on No Man's Land only half an hour before he got killed. The 27th Bat. made a raid on the Huns. He got shot thru the left side. One of our boys saw him drop and he said that he wasn't dead then, but they could not stop to pick him up, but as soon as I came within reach, not knowing who he was, and they said it was Larson, I nearly went mad myself. I picked him up and carried him out into the trench, and I was just about all in myself, as I was puffing like a mad bull running, but I had to take him out. He will be buried today some time. It takes time, as there are a lot more besides him. "1 was nearly all in after the raid. I helped carry 'a lot more boys under heavy shell fire and more than tnat, I for the bullets were the worst for me. I am only a little fellow myself, but I am 23 years of age. He was older than I am and a little taller and a lot heavier. "He and I were just like brothers. We used to divide things among our selves and take them up to the line to eat. I got a parcel just before going up to the fighting line that night and he and I ate nearly all the cake, so we would not feel hungry. 'All the fighting and stumbling in wires is terrible heavy work, so we started out with a good meal, all we wanted to eat." Mr. Chapman sent to the mother all of Walter's personal effects, in cluding his safety razor, books and photos. He also sent some flowers which he picked from the bunk hole in which Walter and his chum slept. YOUNG MEN ENLIST FOR SPECIAL WAR WORK. Nineteen Young Men Will Be Trained at Agricultural College.

Indians Study Domestic Science Prof, and Mrs. Hoffman of Shell Creek, an Indian town on the Berthold Reservation, were in the city Wednes day, having driven over with their daughter, who left on No. 30 for Min neapolis, where she will attend col lege. Professor Hoffman in conver sation with a representative of the Independent, related many interesting particulars regarding his experiences in the government schools with which he has been identified for the past 22 years. On the Berthold reservation the government maintains three day schools and besides these two denom inational schools have been establish ed. The regulations prescribe a course of study very similar to the course followed in the public schools of the state. Domestic science comes in for a large share of attention and taken all in all the progress of the students will compare favorably, grade for grade, with that of the or dinary schools of the rural districts. The professor has charge of the schools at Shell Creek, his wife, a former Michigan lady is also a teach er in this school, having charge of the domestic science department.

Clementich may not be served with the warrant until his crop is harvest ed.
