Indian Bureau Assists Vic
tims of Fire.
Washington, D. C.,—Rev. William
Hughes, Director of the Bureau of
Catholic Indian Missions here, an
nounced that the Bureau has ad
vanced some financial aid to meet
the immediate needs of the Ulsuline
Sisters, whose convent and school
on the Flathead Reservation were
destroyed but that the Sisters will
be unable to continue their work
there unless the Catholics of the
country furnish them with the
means to rebuild.
“The Ursulin’s convent and school”
said Father-Hughes, “are the second
group of Catholic institutions on
the Flathead Reservation to be de
stroyed by fire within a little more
than two years. December 9, 1919,
the House of Providence was lost
in a similar way, by fire. It was
never rebuilt. Because of the apa
thy of the American Catholics, the
Sisters were unable to replace the
school and convent. But the good
Sisters of Charity would not desert
the Indians. They erected a small
hospital for Indians on the reser
vation. The Ursuline Sisters who
had been conducting the. kinder
garten previous to the first fire, now
took over the entire school. That
kindergarten was the first kinder
garten among the Indians in the
United States. An appeal is being
made by the Bureau of Catholic
Indian Missions to the Catholic
people of the United States to save
the work for which Sister St. John
gave her life.”
PRIEST MURDERED
Chicago Pastor Victim of
Burglar, Who Escapes.
Chicago, 111.,—Orders have been
issued by Chiet of Police Charles
C. Fitzmorris, to spare no effort to
catch the burglar who shot and
killed Rev. Father Florian Chodnie-
wicz, aged pastor of St. Florence
Roman CalhoFc church in the
parish house.
According to the story told by
the priest, who was found after
several hours, weak and dying form
loss of blood from a bullet wound
in his leg, he was aroused from
sleep on the second floor of the
rectory by the intruder. He went
down to the first floor and saw a
man starting down the basement
steps. He followed.
The burglar crouched in the
shadow at the toot of the basement
stairs and fired • The bullet struck
the priest in tiie leg, and he fell
down the stairs. The burglar
escaped through a basement window
through which the police believe
he had entered.
Father Chodniewicz lay where lie
fell for several hours unable to
give an alarm. Finally he managed
to drag himself to the first floor
and a telephone, and summoned
help. Though weak from loss of
blood, the ’driest insisted on being
taken to St. Mary’s hospital a
number of miles away. By the time
the police ambulance had reached
the hospital the wound had again
begun to bleed and a blood trans
fusion was decided upon. ‘
But just as the surgeons were'
preparing for the operation, to
which several of the priest’s
parishioners offered to give their
blood, he pi ssed away.
