prophetic his words were will be real
lied when the announcement came here
Saturday afternoon that he had died
Friday morning in the Samaritan hos
pital at Sioux City. His age was 35
years.
Mr.. Patrick came to Mitchell about
three years ago and made his home at
the Alex. Mitchell hotel during that
time. Being possessed with a comfort-
able income he took life with compare
tive ease. Among his friends he was
highly regarded as q companionaDle
and jolly fellow, one who had q kindly
feeling for all the people he knew and
would do anything for friend. He
was close student, and being an Eng
lishman he kept we'll informed of the
current events on the other side of the
water, besides having thorough know
ledge of American affairs
The funeral services were held in
Sioux City Saturday afternoon from ST.
Thomas Episcopal church and inter-
ment was made in Logan Park ceme-
terry.
Concerning the news of Mr.. Patrlck's
death the Sioux City Journal of Satur-
day has the following:
The news ot Lue death of Duncan
Patrick CONES with great grief 10
his brothers and many friends as they
nave oeen hoping against hope that he
might be able to throw off the terrible
disease which had taken hold of his
system, and once more be able to be
out. But he could not, although he
madea gallant fight for life. About
the middle of August he came to this
city from Mitchell, S. D., where he had
resided for about two years, and at once
went to the Samaritan hospital. There
he remained until his death at nine
O'clock that morning. Since he has
been in this city the sick man has been
constantly attended by his two brothers,
and many friends in this city. Nothing
has been left undOne to make his last
hours as happy as possible.
Duncan Patrick was born in England
where he was educated until he was
old enough TO enter the English army.
He served his country in the capacity
of lieutenant for ten years in England
Africa and India, and then resigned his
commission. He came to America in
1890, and lived in Sioux City up to two
years ago. His two brothers, Roland
Patrick and N. M. Patrick, are both in
the CITY, and were with him during his
last hours.

IN SESSION ONE DAY.

The County Comlc issioners Labored Hard
and Late and Finish Monday Night.
BY close application to business and
working late the county commissioners
got through with their session in one
day. Among the important matters
that came up was the letting of two
cor rtracts, one for bridge and the
other for coal. The new bridge to be
erected is across the river seven miles

bridge. 1t is to be constructed of steel
and the contract was awarded to r. D..

bridge to be completed within sixty
days. The coal contract was awarded
to the Peavey Elevator Co., the price
being $3.50 per ton on board cars.
Sign boards are to be erected on all
bridges calling attention to driving
faeter than walk and limited num-
ber of cattle crossing the bridge at one
time. The usual bills were allowed.
The commissioners adjourned at II

HAD SEEN IT BEFORE.

Francis Jones Unfortunately Put ON 4
Drama that was not New Hete
The Francis Jones company played
SIN Old Madrid" at the Grand opera
house Friday evening to small audi
ence, the small number being due to
the prices charged, which was consid-
erably more than the people cared to
pay even though the attraction was
first class. The play was familiar to
the greater part of the audience as it
had been given here in July by Paige's
Players under the name of 1.-THE Prince
of LIARS" and those who expected to
hear something new were proportion
ately disappointed, and objected to pay
ing such fancy prices when it had been
produced here fully as good for one
third the price. Mr.. Bailey claims tba
sole right to play the piece and that the
others are pirates.
However, the drama is full OF comedy
and in the hands of Francis Jones and
Billy Marble and the rest of the COM
pany was given good Interpretation.
The costumes worn were rich and ele-
giant, while the stage settings were
equally as elaborate. During the ac-
tion of the play Mr.. Jones introduced
several songs and his rich baritone
voice was heard to good advantage.
Miss Watson, who played the piano,
will be rendered as assisting in produo-
| ing "Ermine" here several years ago
with home talent. The company went
to Salem on the noon train.

DUNCAN PATRICK DEAD.

His Death Occurred at Sioux City Friday
Morning as a Result of Consumption.
When Duncan Patrick left this city
about the middle OF August for Sioux
City his friends felt that it was the
last time they would see him alive, for
it was very evident that the dread dis
ease, consumption, had strong hold
upon his system and that it would be
nothing short of miracle for him to
conquer it. Yet when he left he said
to the writer that it would only be .
short time when he would return to
Mitchell improved in health. How I'm.

The Wonderful Invention Was on Exhib-
ition on Monday Evening.
Mother Shiptons prophecy that
carriages without horses would rum
came to a full realization Monday even
ing when one of these latter day inven-
tions came spinning up Main street,
Montgomery, Ward & Co., of Chicago,
have two advertising cars on the road
which have been putting in the past
week at the state fair and stopped off
here over night Monday while on their
way to the grain palace at Aberdeen.
). A. Pickering, the representative of
the firm in charge of the cars, carries
quite an entertainment with him and
in the evening gave concert from
the car door in the west end of the Mil
waukee railroad yards. Between 700
and 800 people went down to the ap-
pointed place and listened to selections
by the photograph and other enter
tanning things. After the concert was
over Mr.. Pickering invited the people
to pass through the cars and carry
away some advertising matter of Mont
gomery, Ward & Co.'S. Nearly every
person embraced the opportunity. Mr..
Pickering then brought out the horse
less carriage and gave an exhibition on
the stl eet, which was lined with people
watching the intricate movements of
the vehicle. The two cars went to
Aberdeen this morning on freight.

ANOTHER POsTOFFICE ROBBED.
Uncle Sans Edifices are Proving an Easy
Thing for Robbers at Present.

1t seems that the fellows who have
penchant for robbbing postoffices have
not all been confined in the state peni-
tentiary and while Inspector Fosnes
was looking after the fellows who rob-
bed the post Office at Scotland the Office
at Plankinton was robbed Thursday
night. Postmaster Taubman left every
thing in a perfectly safe condition, but
when he went down the this morning
he found evidences sufficient that his
Office had been touched. The safe had
been blown open and 1925 in cash was
carried away by the robbers, who in
their haste. however, overlooked about
5000 worth Of stamps. Mr.. Taubman
saved 800 in gold which he carried
home with him that night. Five
registered letters were also secured
by the thieves. The robbery seems to
have been we'll designed, owing 10 the
supposition that the Office would have a
large amount of money on hand about
the first of the month, before the re-
mittance was made. Four suspicious
characters were seen in the town dur
ing the day but they were nowhere to
be- found after the robbery. From the
fact that The Scotland post office rob-
berry was so recent 1t seems that an
other organized gang is at work in
this section. 1t is to be hoped that
the gang will be apprehended and
brought to speedy justice.
