Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-07-08

A valuable driving horse, belonging to
a Menoken farmer, died in this city,
Wednesday. 1t was driven in to town,
and then, overheated, given a too great
amount of water. Medical aid was
summoned, but the animal was too far
gone to be helped.
MI. and Mrs. j. w. Lucas, together
with Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Brown, left on
the steamer Abner O'Neil, late Thurs
day evening, for a trip to Fort Yates.
Mr.. Brown took along a camera, and in
tends taking some views of the pictur-
esque scenery before his return.
Valley City Farmers Alliance, 30th:
It is rumored that Night Operator Jen-
nlngs will 1901 be transferred to Bis
marck. Mr.. Jennings has made many
friends in this city during his stay who
regret to see him leave. He is always a
gentleman and never gets cranky.
A full blooded Indian, neatly attired
in uniform, accompanied by two maidens
of his own kind, stepped from the train,
yesterday morning. The girls we're
dressed after the of American
girls, generally, and we're intelligent
looking, the three presenting a rather 70
mantle appearance.
L. G. Gillian, a prominent real estate
man from Spokane Falls, stopped off
in Bismarck yesterday to visit friends.
Mr.. Gillian has been in Spokane eleven
years and is enthusiastic over the re-
newed prosperity which has recently
overtaken the city. He declares it is
now the best city in the west.
A very pleasant farewell party was
given by Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Fallon, to
Miss Flittie Thursday. Miss Flittie
leaves to-day for Mapkato, Mimi, where
she will pass her summer vacation. AS
a hostess, Mrs. Fallon is unexcelled, and
the evening passed pleasantly and agree
ably to those invited.
AS is usual, each street corner had it's
crowd of sdebaters, Tuesday, and the
results of the sports were fully discussed,
and a general airing given to the happen
ings of the Fourth. The discussion was
generally good natured, however, and
none of the debaters resorted to forceful
means to lend conviction to their views.
The official returns of votes for super
intendent of schools, from clerks of
school districts to the county auditor,
are not all in yet, so it Is impossible to
get the exact official vote. Boyd, Fort
Rice and Menoken are still delinquent
in this respect, and as soon as they send
i n their reports, the full and official vote
will be given.
There was ~commendable enterprise
| displayed by the business men, in the
decoration of business places. Flags,
%festoons, bunting and gaudy colored
material of all descriptions, taoated from
almost every house in the city. The
street presented a gay appearance, and
the patriotism of city and citizens was
thereby assured.
The jamestown Capital, in it's notes
of the encampment says that Capt. VIM.
| Gleason and his famous cannon are ex-
pected at sunrise OF the morning of the
Fourth and will furnish the martial fea-
lures of that day. Captain Gleason,
| while in Bismarck was noted for his
patriotism, and it seems that he has for
gotten none of it.
Many we're the expressions of sur
prise and regret at the death of Colonel
Drum. He was well-known in the city,
having been the person who permitted
the Fort Yates base ball club to come to
Bismarck, some years ago, when such a
close game was played between Yates
and Mandan. The colonel was generally
admired and respected.
Evangelist Smiths "talk to men only"
at the Methodist church Sunday night is
said to have drawn quite a crowd of
people-all anxious to learn "Samson's
experience in painting his town red"
According to Mr.. Smith there was not
much difference in early and latter day
painting-to all forms of which Rev,
Smith is, of course, opposed.
The two car load of horses which were
sold to Fort Berthold parties, were
brought over from Mandan Wednesday.
and left the city at about six last even'
ing, to be driven overland to the fort.
They we're in charge of two real, live
cowboys, Messrs. Philbrick and Moore
who hail from the green and grassy
plateaus of the Little Missouri slope.
Agent Davidson: The people of ths
city seemed to have resolved to stay a
home, and enjoy the Fourth in thei
own town, this year. No excursion
tickets lwere sold to any place from
the city, and only about ten person.
who wished to go to Mandan. All staii
at home, and, if my experience is an.
criterion, they had an enjoyable time.
