Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1891-10-02

three crews at work, two of them abov,
Washburn, and one about twenty miller
above this point. They have abou'
twenty men in a crew and a full rive
equipment. The latter crew will soo1
reach Bismarck.
Laurence Casselman, the young attor
ney from Mclean county who opened
an office in the Mellon bank block last
spring, has decided to remain in Canada
where he went about a month ago tc
look after some land. His family will
leave for that place about October
18th.
E. H. Wilson: The people of Illinois
have great confidence in North Dakota
as a sheep country. Land down there
has become so valuable that the farmers
cannot afford to raise sheep on it. Be-
sides, they cannot get as much for their
wool as the North Dakota wool-grower
can realize for his product.
Quite an important change in local
railroad matters took place here yester-
day morning. The No. 81 switch engine
has been sent to Fargo and No. IS, a
standard engine, put in it's place. The
crew now double with heavy trains from
Mandan to Sterling, making the accom-
mediation run as usual. It makes con-
siderable more work for the crew but
their wages are raised accordingly, and
altogether it is considered a good move.
E. H. Wilson arrived home Tuesday
in charge of a car load of pure blood reg
istered Merino rams for use of the North
western Live Stock company. These
sheep we're purchased from breeders of
that class of stock in southern Wisconsin
and northern illinois, and are pronounced
by experts IL that line, as the finest car
load of sheep ever brought into the state.
They will be kept by the company a week
or ten days, before being distributed to
the farmers having their sheep on shares.
Some idea of the amount of work now
being done on the Northern Pacific can
be gained from the fact that a train
passes owe the road every fifteen
minutes at Fargo. At this point there
is not much wheat in transportation as
yet and consequently not quite so many
trains. When the morning passenger
arrived Friday there were two trains
headed west in the yard, a double header
train going west, and two other
trans awaiting orders besides the Ster-
ling run.
Rev. Father Sloan informed the TR1B-
UNE yesterday that the dedication of
the Glencoe church will take place on
the 18th inst. Services will be held at
II a. m. Dinner will be served free. It
is expected steamboat will carry an Ok
cursion from this city and Mandan.
Everybody should go and enjoy this
occasion. Father Sloan has for many
years been a true Christian worker and
there could be no greater pleasure than
to attend the dedication of his new
church, the last triumph of a long and
eventful Christian life.
A trip from this city to Menoken is all
that any sane man needs to convince
him of the great advantages Burleigh
county has to offer. Scarcely do you
leave Bismarck before golden fields of
grain now in the shock and stack are to
be seen. When you pass the peniten-
tiary herds of cattle are ranging on the
prairie and resting beneath the small
groves by the side Of apple creek. Thus
you pass from one to another
until an elevator or side track comes in
view. There you see the farmers unload
ing grain and a deep contented smile
hovers over their sunburnt features.
Mary Cox was found in an intoxicated
condition wandering about the streets
about 3 o'clock in the morning and taken
to the police station. Chief of Police
notified the chairman of the
board of county commissioners who
on investigation found her little boy,
about two years and six months old,
locked in their house south of the rail-
road track. The commissioners took
the child in charge and States Attorney
Register will institute proceedings
whereby the child may be placed in safe
hands. Mrs. Cox was brought before
Judge Chase Thursday and the judge
gave her fifteen days for being drunk and
disorderly.
Rev. George Kline returned on the
early train Friday morning from
Missouri. The elder is looking we'll and
said he had a most delightful trip. He
was delayed thirteen hours by accident
going down, but reached st. Louis the
next day and visited his father, who is
now 70 years old and not apt to live
many years more. In speaking of the
real mission the elder said it was a grand
