LAURA TILLSOX , Teacher. The Valentine high school alumni held their anual banquet Saturday evening , May 27,1905 , in Frater nal hall. The class of J05 , num bering fifteen members were initiated. Numerous toasts were given and responded to. A phon ograph was also a pleasant feature of the evening. Prof. R. H. Watson was master of ceremonies. The severest electrical storm of the season visited Valentine Sun day night. The lightning was terrific and done considerable dam age to property around town. A transformer on the main wire of the electric light plant was struck and rendered the plant useless the rest of the night. Mr. Hewett , the electrician , was quite severely shocked. The M. E. church steeple was struck and damaged some dur ing the storm. Last Friday afternoon the Crooks- ton "Locals" met the Valentine "Colts" on the high school grounds in a game of base ball , which re sulted in a score of 20 to 2 in favor of Valentine. The principal feat ure of the game was a home run by Smith of Valentine.

It is reported that Dr. J. C. Dwyer died a few days ago at Omaha where he had gone to take the Keely cure. Dr. Dwyer prac tised a long time in Valentine and at one time had a well equipped hospital here , treating some of the most complicated cases. He was considered one of the best surgeons in the west. A number of fishing parties have made the trip to Hackberry and Dewey lakes in the last few days and report fine fishing in Hack- berry lake , but seines and nets have been used in Dewey lake un til most of the fish have been taken out. Special Game Warden W. A. Kimbell made an examination of the lakes last Monday and found one trammel net one hundred feet long by four feet deep set in the east end of Dewey lake. The net was taken out and destroyed , but the owners of the net could not be found. Taking fish in this way is a violation of the game law and it is a shame that we have such violators living in the county. We understand that the state game warden intends to station a man out in the lake country to see that no more seining or netting of fish is done , and the violators had bet ter take warning and cease their mean work. Sad and Sadden Death. The most sudden and unexpected death that has ever occurred in the city was that of Mrs. Ray , wife of Rev. C. W. Ray , pastor of the M. E. church. Sunday evening she attended services in the church and Monday morning she took part in work of the League , all of the time being apparently in good health. After eating dinner she laid down upon the lounge and soon fell asleep. Mr. Ray was at his desk in the room adjoining , engaged in his work and was not aware that death was hovering so near. At 3:45 : , Dr. Clough called to ascertain the state of her health and was directed to the room by Rev. Ray who informed him that she was yet sleeping. On entering the room , the doctor was horrified to find that she was dead and had been dead for at least 15 minutes. For some time her devoted hus band could not bring himself to a realization of the truth of it for it was a sad blow. Deceased was to E have become a mother within a short time but death is attributed to acute heart trouble. In September of last year , as Miss Clara Belle Watson she was married to Rev. Ray at Lincoln , Nebr. , coming with him at once to Alliance where she has since ful filled every duty a pastor's wife owes to her husband and church in a , faithful , devoted and energetic manner. She was but twenty-five years of age , educated , refined and of a very amiable and sweet dis position , beloved by every member of a large congregation. Funeral services were conducted in the church Tuesday evening , conduct ed by Rev. D. J. Clark , presiding aider , who arrived as soon as pos sible after receipt of the sad news. He was assisted by Rev. Dr. Bogue and Rev. McConnell. It is said to have been the largest fun eral ever known in Alliance. The remains were shipped to her child hood home in Indiana for burial. The sympathies of the entire com munity go out to Rev. Ray in the sad loss of his devoted wife. Al liance Pioneer Grip.
