The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1892-03-26

Otto Wallin has been running the black
smith shop alone this week, but he has en-
gagged frst-class smith whom he expects
will be on hand Monday. He has about
80 or so plows already on hand for repairs
for the springs work.
The ice in the river at Washburn is rap
idly undergoing disintegration under the
influence of the warm weather we have had
during the past week. If the present
weather continues five or six days longer,
the ice will break up and diappear IN con-
sequence of its decomposition. There are
no damaging results to be feared from the
breakup this spring.
Prof. Hicks would do well to confine his
weather representations to the eastern
part of this hemispere, for while our neigh
bors on the Atlantic coast and in other
places east of us were belug driven into
shelter bumped up with cold, tempestuous
storms, we in this portion of North Dako-
ia were enjoying the most beautiful spring
weather that could fall to the lot of Gods
chosen people.

We learn from the Minot journal that
our old friend Geo. H. Mckay, now running
a ranch with his brother John at Nesson,
Williams county, intends moving back to
Minot and engage in the mercantile busi-
ness. George formerly run a store in Mi
not and did good business there, until the
destinations of a ranchmans life allured
him to the rural plains of his present
abode. By all means, George, bet back.
Edgeley Sentinel: The Sentinel is sorry
to learn of the death of little Arthur Satter-
lund, the 8-year old son of Hon. John
Satterlund, member of the State Legisla-
ture, of Washburn, Mclean County, the
former home of the editor. The sad event
occurred last Saturday caused by rheu-
matte troubles. The Sentinel's entire
household sends coincidence to the afflicted
family and sympathises with them in their
bereavement.
J. L. Robinson, representing the Mort
gage Bank & Investment company of Far
go, has been in Washburn during the past
week on business connected with that firm.
We find Mr.. Robinson very pleasant
gentleman, but he is hampered in the
transaction of business with our people
by reason of the greed and selishness of
the firm he is employed for. Besides, our
resident farmers will have about enough
work to do to cultivate their own farms,
without leasing other peoples lands,
Major Edwards in Washington cores
pondence to the Fargo Forum: Jewell of
the Bismarck Tribune is of the same gen.
eral style of makeup as Senator Allen of
Washington, one of the most companion
able men in the senate, while his colleague
is builded more in the order of Colonel
Lounsberry.
Henry r. Rohrer, father of Silas D.,
Henry H. and AL. B. Rohrer OF Hancock,
this county, died at his home in Canton,
Ohio, Of la grippe, about the 18th inst.
His wife died about two weeks before, and
the strain and wear on his health conse-
quent of the constant care and watching
through her illness we're too much for his
constitution and he fell an easy prey to
the disease that terminated his life. Silas
D. Rohrer and family had made every
preparation last week for visit to their
old Canton home when they received the
sad news of his fathers death. This hast
ened his departure for the east, and he left
here with his family Saturday morning.
The deceased visited his sons in Mclean
county last summer, and made many
friends during his stay, who deeply SYM
pathize with the bereaved sons.
An Indian friend at Fort Berthold sends
us the following item:
s'Mr. James Walker was married on or
about March LIST, 1892, to Miss Stocka-
hauntas, Rec squaw, and has now given
her the g. B. Mrs. Walker was last seen
over at Bill Miller's ranch. If an Indian
had done this, Maj. j. s. Murphy would
have put him in the guardhouse and pun
ished him in other ways"
The Leader does not think the major
would have done anything of the kind. as
