Nearly everybody in Elk Point Is &C
quainted with Commodore Coulson OF
YanktOn, and hence the news con-
tanned In the dispatch printed In con-
nection herewith will be received with
profound sorrow: Commodore S. B.
COulsOn, the best known steambOatman
on the upper Missouri, is dying as the
result Of q bite inflicted by DR.. COney
on Intervening OF May 2. On the "a
inst. the county commissioners received
bids from physicians for caring for the
paupers for the year. Coney's proposal
was rejected although it was the lowest
bid offered. Coney, while intoxicated,
charged the rejection of his proposal TO
COulsOn, who Is q commissioner. He
accused the latter of favoritism. and
applied foul epithets to him until Coul-
son lost patience and struck at the doc
tor. In doing this he fell, and being a
very pOrtly man, the doctor soon had
him at disadvantage with the COM
modOre's finger In his mouth. It Is
from this hurt that Mr.. Coulson will
probably die. COney was arrested this
afternoon and Is in Jail.
James McGonagle arrived home from
Chicago on Tuesday morning, having
made the round trip In just forty. eight
hours. The run into Chicago was made
on q special cattle train in 233 hours
about as quick time by freight az was
ever accomplished from Elk Point. He
made 8 splendid sale of his two cars OF
cattle, realizing e4.l0 per hundred for
them. He has two cars left, and will
ship them in about one month. Mr..
McGOnagle has again made q success
with his cattle after feeding them all
winter. The market il not in FIRST
class shape, as compared with last year,
but the two cars owned by Mr.. McGOn-
agile we're In such excellent condition
as TO size, weight, and form-that they
found ready sale at good figure.
There were several car loads from
Beresford which brought a low price
on account OF their extrem weight and
being out Of proportion In the matter
of form. The special train which took
the McGOnagle cattle was loaded here
at Clio last Sunday morning and were
unl0aded in Chicago at precisely the
same time Monday morning. Light
ming changes were made at some of the
divisions, as low a. six minutes being
realized. The way the cattle men
hereabouts speak with regard to the
treatment received by them from the
hands of the Milwaukee ought to make
the management feel elated. As q rule
railway men do not experience many
compliments from the hands of the pub
lie, but nevertheless the cattle men
hereabOuts feel that the company is
improving In it's service and treatment
OF patrons.
Word was received here last week,
too late for publication. announcing the
sad news that Mrs. RS. Gaylord, a sis
ter of Geo. Haver, formerly OF this
place, had been drowned. The accident
occurred at Wathena, Mo-, near St..
Joseph. Mr.. and Mrs. Gaylord were
sailing down the river in : dat boat.
A St.Joe paper states, s'An accident
which cost . life and broke up q family
occurred at Belmont bend, just north
nj Nnfhn S4uv
days ago the county caurt granted a
license to F. A. Malloy to operate q
cable ferry from Belmont to an opposite
point on the Missouri shore. The cable
Is stretched from point to point and a
fiat boat Is attached thereto and pro-
PEELED across the river by hand. On
Thursday night RS. Gaylord and fam
lily, with . flat boat, arrived from Da-
kota. Gaylord had heard Of the ferry
cable and, yesterday morning, walked
to the landing and requested that It be
lowered efficiently 10 let him pass over
1t. This was promised and he started
his boat across the river into the cur
rent. As he approached the cable he
saw to bis horror that It was yet too
high. He signalled to Orr Estes, who
runs the Kansas end Of the ferry, to
lower the cable more and then set about
to tack his boat, but the sail caught q
heavy guet OF wind and the boat was
sent into the cable with q crash, upset
ting ~ she struck. Mrs. Gaylord and
her daughter were In the cabin and the
rest Of the party were on deck. Three
OF the boys went into the water and
Gaylord sprang for the cabin window.
He succeeded In dragging out the girl
