An hour after her arrival in Bismark yesterday afternoon, Katheryn Schneider, daughter of Mr and Mrs. John Schneider of Napoleon, passed away at the detention hospital from diphtheria. The funeral, because of the contagious nature of the malady, was held before sunrise this morning, with only the parents in attendance. The unfortunate little girl was 11 years old.
