Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-02-12

marck, where the accident happened,
AL. Houstain, a prosperous Emmons
county farmer, is having 900 bushels OF
fax shipped to Bismarck, also a large
quantity of wheat. Shed Lambert's
teams are hauling it. Next year, Mr..
Houstain declares he will ship via river,
if the 500 line is not completed.
s. M. Pye, Jr.: Gerald Pierce's farm
house burned down a short time since.
It was insured in the American through
our agency. I sent the papers down
Wednesday night and got the check for
the loss, $500, Sunday. How's that for
quick work. That's the kind of people
we are.
The TRIBUNE learns that the Mandan
fremen don't agree with the unkind re-
marks made in the Mandan Times last
week, rejecting on the Bismarck fremen.
The Mandan boys are perfectly satisfied
with the treatment they have received
at the hands of the Bismarck people, and
the Pioneer of tomorrow will have a
letter setting forth these facts.
r. M. Tuttle: Yesterday I was at
Steele aiding some parties there in their
| efforts to get before the district court
the question whether a chattel mortgage,
| given on a farm house before the home
stead is proved up on, is valid. The case
in question is that of Goodsil & Belden
vs.. J. M. Coleman. The case has been
dragging along for nearly a couple of
years and it looks as though it might be
decided soon.
Taylor Crum: On Saturday States
Attorney Register and myself settled a
bill of exceptions in the Healy case and
presented it to the court for his sigma
ture. This was done so that if our mo-
ton for a new trial should be overruled
I would not be obliged to come out here
again. I have some fifteen assignments
of error to present to the supreme court
if we do not get a new trial in the dis
trict court. I expect we will get a de-
cision on the matter this week.
Mrs. J.. J. Lester, who resided with
her mother, Mrs. Lehman, on the bot
toms on the south side of the city. died
Monday at 1890, of cancer. This ter
rible malady had been working on her
Tor a long time, and she had been sent to
a hospital at st. Louis in the hope of
saving her life, but the dread disease
was of too long standing and she came
back and has been calmly awaiting the
end. She was apparently light-hearted
and cheerful until near the last. She
was a sister of Mrs. Thos. Fortune and
Mrs. E. N. Corey and was 33 years of
age.
A recent issue of the Washington Sun
day Herald gives Mr.. A. H. Bell, former
ly signal officer at Bismarck, a very neat
send-off. 1t incorporates a cut of the
gentleman and speaks in very compli-
mentary terms of ''one Of the younger
element of the Masonic fraternity-M. b.
High Priest of Mount Horeb Royal Arch
Chapter No. 7, District of Columbia. "A
few years ago." says the Herald: "Com-
pan on Bell was married to Miss Ingra-
ham, daughter of Rev. DR.. %Ingraham, a
well-known missionary to the Sandwich
Islands and other stations in the Pacific
ocean. Mrs. Bell is a talented lady and
her husband is Justly proud of her at
tainments in art and literature. Their
pleasant home in LIE Droit park is graced
by the presence of an heir apparent who
gives promise OF being as lively a hust-
Ter as his genial father"
A few days ago L. L. johnson, a far
mel living zeal Stewartsdale, was in the
city and upon arriving home discovered
that he had lost a pocket book containing
over $40 in currency. Such a purse was
found by Chas. Kupitz-had been left on
his counter. Kupitz advertised the find
in the TRIBUTE and Wednesday MIR.
johnson got his money. That's the
kind of people Kupitz and the TRIBUNE
are. By the way johnson had in 30
acres of wheat that averaged over 20
bushels to the acre and 20 acres Of corn
that yielded about 40. The corn was
not harvested before snow fall and Mr..
johnson, when the weather permits, goes
out into the field and husks out a load
or two. He says the ears are sound,
free from moisture or mildew, and as
good as if harvested in the fall. Politi-
cally Mr.. johnson is a democrat. He
would have liked the opportunity, how
ever, of voting for Mr.. Blaine. He
doesn't like Cleveland because his adj
ministration was not American enough
didn't favor the building of a navy as it
should, ruined poor John Roach, and
gave to the country the abominable
Sparks for land commissioner.
