/ He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm,
How forcibly the above words are
brought to bear upon household
when beloved one is suddenly
plucked from its midst. While it
would seem that the grim reaper OF
death had laid a heavy hand upon
us by taking from our midst dearly
beloved and highly esteemed wife
and mother, yet It's not for us to
question the actions of Almighty God
who doeth all things for the best.
In taking from the citizens of Han
cock and Stevens county, last Thurs
day Mrs. Geo. G. Thorpe, vacancy
was left that can never be filled, so
highly was the companionship of this
most estimable lady priced by the
community. She was an acknow-
lodged leader in all benevolent. char
table and christian work, as we'll as
the leader in society, and the loss of
SO dear and ardent a worker will be
deeply mourned by the entire com
munity for all time to come.
The last sad rites over the remains
in this vicinity were conducted at the
home Of the bereaved family last Sat
urday by Rev. Searles. A large NUM-
ber> of .sorrowing friends from this
city were in attendance. TIE floral
decorations were the finest ever seen
in this vicinity, every. loving and
cherished friend seeming to put forth
their main efforts to contribute and
do something in memory ola depart
ing friend,
The remains were taken to North
field for interment, the final services
being conducted by Rev. Shutter of
Minneapolis,
Mrs. G. c. Thorpe, nee Adelaide c.
Carpenter, was born in st. Adams,
Vt, in 1912, and is a daughter of Nc
Kenzie and Juliette Carpenter. In
1862 she was united in marriage to
Geo. C. Thorpe, and they were bless
ed with three children, Arthur c.,
George G. Jr. and Clarence Nick,
all of whom survive her. She, with
her husband, removed to Stevens
county in 1877, where they have since
resided The deceased had been a
sufferer for many years with cancer,
and all that loving hands, medical skill
and money could possibly do was
done, but of no avail.
To the bereaved husband and loved
ones the entire community and thesI
TRIBUNE extends sympathy and sup
port in, this the time of their Affections
hoping that with, the memory of her
kind deeds and loving mothers care,
may come softening Of grief and
of sorrow, and it is our
wish that the burdens of
life for the bereaved may be lighter
and sorrows few.

engine were set in motion Monday,

Last Sunday morning a gentle
zephyer was being waited down from
Old Boreals' headquarters with in
creasing speed at every jump, until
it became almost a Jimmy cane.
Along about noon one could breathe
in that fresh and invigorating breeze
that tasted like the snow flakes off
the top of Greenland's icy mountains
and it was amusing to see the people
scurrying around to change their
spring coats and wraps for the chem
ny" that did such good service all
winter. Monday morning the breeze
was all gone, evidently swallowed up
by the torrid zone, hide and tail, as it
was warm and nice all day,

There were two or three narrow
escapes from fire last Sunday on
account of the strong wind. The
chimney in Martin Flatner's house
burnt out, and the banking and straw
between the house and barn caught
in several places Prompt and quick
action is what saved what might have
been very destructive confagration.
The chimney in Ole Lystad's
house also burnt out Sunday, and
before they got it extinguished it
scorched the paper badly on the wall
beside the chimney, Every precau-
ton against fire should be taken es-
pecially on windy day.

Eagle Pass, Texas, February l1.-Mr. A
p Suits of GAINESVILLE. Ohio, is here in the
interest of the Rio Grande Bridge and
Tramway company. At a recent term OF
the Federal court held in San Antonio the
bridges at this place and Laredo were or
dered sold under foreclosure proceedings
but 1t appears that there is a hitch in the
proceedings which promises TO result in
complications. 1t is contended by the com
peny that the courts of this country can
only sell so much Of the bridge as is In
the United States, and that tho company
can and will continue to control the half
OF the bridge that is on Mexican soil Mr..
stulls has taken charge OF the bridge in
the name OF the original company and will
resist any attempt to take it by legal pro-
cess, and will in any event maintain a
toll house on the Mexican side and collect
toll as at present. The outcome is watched
with interest.
