Tragic Hatchet Attack Ends in Madness Near Wiliston
A brutal incident near Wiliston last Tuesday left a husband Alex Peters and his family grievously harmed. Peters attacked his wife and ten children with a hatchet, pursued the son, and ultimately died by his own hand. Reports describe widespread injuries, a blood soaked scene, and authorities rushing a special coroner to assess the aftermath. The family, from Springbrook, had recently faced financial strain and personal turmoil before the tragedy. The wife and children survived, with several injured, and plans emerged to ship survivors to Ohio for tutoring as relatives in Ohio were notified.

Episcopalians Plan Addition to Guild Hall at Advent Church
At a Wednesday meeting of Church of Advent members, $800 was quickly subscribed to fund a Guild Hall to serve as a social and religious center. Rev. A. E. Clattenburg currently holds $500 with a further $500 offered if $2,000 is raised locally for Devils Lake Episcopal church. A watercolor of the future Guild Hall and the present church was shown. Bishop Cameron Mann spoke in support. The hall, sized for 210 seats with stage and dressing rooms, will be separate from the church but connected at the rear, including a dining area on the lower floor. The project aims to foster a men’s club and parish entertainments, with $3,000 to be raised now toward a $5,000 total cost. the remaining $2,000 would be mortgage-backed. The offer of $500 from Rev. Clattenburg is valid 20 days, with valuation needed for the remaining $1,200 within that period.
