Dak., Oct. 7.—El- mer Ficksdal, 23, Bowman, was in- stantly killed when a shot gun was accidentally discharged in an automo- bile Sunday about 25 miles west of Amidon. Ficksdal was entering the automo- bile when the gun discharged, the charge striking him in the head. W.N. Clendenen, upon whose farm the accident occurred, suffered slight wounds in the same accidant when several shot struck him. Five members of a hunting party, including Elmer and Mel Ficksdi Clendenen, and Mrs. Mel Ficksd: and Clare Clendenen, had left Bow- man in the morning. The latter two were riding in the front seat, the oth- ers in the rear, In the front seat was a pump gun, resting on its stock between the two passengers. Elmer had just closed a gate and was taking his seat in the automobile when the gun went off. It is believed that the automobile had started moving as Ficksdal stepped on charged when the machine struck a bump. Ficksdal was a repairman with the J. 1. Case Machinery company and had been working in the Bowman ter- ritory this fall. The body was sent to Watertown, S. Dak. today where Peter Ficksdal. the victim's father, and other relatives reside.

The galleries of both | chambers were filled. Foreign am- | bassadors and other members of the diplomatic corps in their brilliant uniforms vied with fashionably dressed women, including Mrs. Dolly Curtis Gann, in adding color. “There can be no more war; it is impossible, if we will make the peace |past effective, that any arm of our | forces, sea, land, or air, will come into conflict,” the stately MacDonald as- serted as the senators and those look- | ing on burst into applause. “We have come together and said \ ‘what fs all this bother about parity?’ ” he continued. “Parity Take it.” The first tangible result of the con- |versations was the armouncement of invitations to Japan, France and | Italy to join the American and Brit- lish governments in a conference to |limit their sea power further as a step toward world peace. | Issuance of the invitation was left |to the Lundon foreign office today. |The conference is to start at London on Monday or Tuesday of the thira | week in January. | Seck Peaceful World | Alone in the mountain forest the | president and the prime minister un- folded one to another their hopes and their aspirations, not alone for an | abiding amity between their own pev- |ples but for a world united for peace. |" After an hour of earnest talk, the |President and the prime minister jslowly retraced the pathway they had followed from the president's lodge.
