The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1890-11-29

The twenty-five or thirty teams with In
dian drivers, which went from Berthold to
Bismarck after freight last week, returned
with their loads last Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
Theo. J. Haugeberg went out last Friday
evening on deer hunt, and returned Mon
day with three fine carcases. In the Ian
guage of leetle August Yonson, devil in
the Mail Office, Theordore is "a bad man
in deer hunt"

Hans Eultberg left Thursday on his re-
turn trip to Assinaboine. He will be ac-
companied by Luke Eskes of Coal Harbor,
Peter Knutson and Jacob Olson of Sver-
drup. 1t is the intention of these gentle
men to spend the winter at work on the
Assinaboine branch of the Great Northern
road, and return to Mclean again in time
to put in their spring crops.
Last week little Carl, aged nearly three
years, youngest son of David Carlson of
Coal Harbor, met with painful accident
while playing with the other children.
They we're climbing upon and jumping of
curbing box, and little Carl accidentally
jumped upon piece of scantling and
broke the small bone of his left leg below
the knee, and displaced the other bone at
the ankle. DR.. Hannon of Stevenson was
summoned and dressed the injured limb.
At last accounts the child was getting
along nicely.

It seems to US it would he good scheme
if farmers would bring in their wheat and
leave it on deposit at the Washburn mill
to be made into -four and left for sale at
the mill OF the stores. Or they could ar
range to sell the wheat to the mill on time,
to be paid for as the flour made from it is
sold. 1t would be money in the farmers
pockets, and would help this part of the
country out all around.
Robert S. Gardner of Clarksburg, WA,
United States Indian inspector, came
down from visit to the Berthold agency
last Saturday on his return to the east.
Inspector Gardner is an old-timer on the
frontier, and was at one time Indian agent
at Berthold. Some thirty three years ago,
while out on pleasure hunt with Sir Saint
George Gore, OF Ireland, they rowed down
the Missouri river, and lived principally
on meat from August 1st to January 18th,
having no bread to eat during that time,
and subsequently, during that winter, paid
5000 for a barrel of -four. That is "Rough-
ing it the West" in every sense of the term,
and detailed history of the trip would
probably make book as thrilling and in
teresting as that written by Mark Twain.

Judge Lacy, Marion Lacy and his son
Charley, and Henry Rohrer and wife re-
turned from Bismarck last Sunday. Near
Painted Woods creek, about six miles east
of this place, they met with an accident
which luckily terminated without serious
results. The hold-back strap on one of
the horses of the team which the boy Char
ley Lacy was driving broke as they were
coming down big hill, and the team be-
came unmanageable. In the headlong
plunges down the hill Charley's wagon col
lided with Henry Rohrer's wagon that was
just ahead of him, which brought Charley's
team to halt, but threw the boy from his
seat to the ground with great violence.
He struck upon his head and shoulders,
and for time was stunned and unable to
move. He was picked up and placed in
another wagon and hurriedly driven to
Washburn where he soon recovered, though
feeling quite sore from the effect of the
shake-up. The collision also wrecked Mr..
Rohrer's wagon, having completely demol-
ished one of the hind wheels. The parties
we're fortunate in escaping more serious
damage.
