Respectfully, (Signed) G. W. WILSON, Commissioner. A SAD CASJ;. Police Officer Alexander McLean of Moorhead, was killed at a fire by a fall ing chimney, Friday night, February 17th. He leaves seven orphan children, all of tender years, entirely alone, their mother having died not long ago and as his ISfe insurance was recently allowed to lapse these orphans are left without home or means. The funeral was held on Sunday at Fraternity hall, the police, Odd Fellows and ire Departments of Moorhead and Fargo attending in a body. There were handsome floral pieces pre sented by the different orders. The Odd FeHows at once took action as to the care of the children, the Noble Grand arranging with merchants to fur nlsh them whatever was required, and arrangements are being made by the fire men, police and Odd Fellows to raise a fund for their maintenance. No doubt they will be well taken care of by the good people of theee cities. This Is an other instance showing the value of one three linkfraternity, that without a moments delay came forward and pro vided for these fatherless ones, for ev-' ery present went.
