The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1885-12-24

would take a month to reach the
miners. There are nineteen los,
and their friends are frantic will
grief. 1t has been thought all
along that the men were alive, but
it is now generally conceded by old
miners that they must have perished
in the commencement.
Reeder & Murnik wish everybody
a merry Christmas, and invite them
to call and examine their fine stock
of dry goods and groceries.
Geo. V. Dawson, Esq, one of
Wahpeton's old time pioneers is in
the city looking hale and hearty,
shaking hands with his numerous
friends. He is located in Marshall
county and has one of the best ba.
mana farms in the great banana
belt, Dakota. He is prosperous and
happy.
J. G. Raymo is about the streets
again, we are glad to see. He asks
us to say for him that when any OF
his friends are ill they should send
for DR.. G. Wiensma. Mr.. Raymc
thinks the doctor did him great
service, since he says he was given
up by another physician as beyond
help, and DR.. Wiensma was called
who brought him out, so far, all
right.
The Murky is getting frantic,
and threatens to convert itself into
a corpse in January. The TINES
would beg of it to desist. People
here in the city where it is partly
known and understood would be
shocked to see the poor Murky, cold
stiff, stark dead! In the country
where it is not known the shock
would not be quite so severe. We
beg of you Murky, desist,! Don't!
The Fergus Journal quotes our
item of few days since in refer.
ence to the propose N. T. shops, and
says: "Wahpeton ought to have
them but it won't get them just the
same. When Ottertail couty voted
100000 bonds to aid the Fergus
Falls and Black Hills road it was
with the expressed agreement that
the division headquarters should be
here and it is quite natural that the
shops should he here too.'
Peter Thill has purchased the
building put up by Mr.. Connolly in
Roots addition a year or two since
for feed store, and having had the
same removed to Dakota-ave., oppo
site the post-otfice, will finish ul
and fit up the same for feed store
with the intention of adding veget'
ables to his line of trade in the
spring. Mr.. Thill is an old settler
acquainted with most everybody
and says that he has assurances
from his frieuds that they will ali
stand by him. We wish Mr.. Thil
success.
Rev. Father F. J. Pribyl of Mont
gomery, Minnesota, was here Sun
day and conducted services in the
new Bohemian Catholic church
there being large attendance. II
has been hoped that the church
could be dedicated ere this, but the
reverend gentleman had not time
this visit to have this properly done
so it is again postponed to about
Easter. The music, instrumental
and vocal was very. good indeed
this icing largely due to the fact
that Miss L. Darbellay is at home
on the holiday vacation and assisted
in this feature of the exercises.
The TIMES is said to have beel
misinformed in some of its state
ments about the bottling works diff
ficulty. Mr.. Sullivan claims tina
the Murphy boys knew he hat
bought Mr.. Glennon's interest il
the works and further that the,

of beer and approved the matter
And another thing, the car of bee

works in the building near til
