Monday was generally considered as
bad a day as any this season. The wind
let up a little during the afternoon and
since then it has been very comfortable
winter weather. There is about a foo,
of snow on the ground and there will be
plenty of water in the stream as soon as
it gets a little warmer.
Between Dickinson and Mandan the
passenger engines take water only a,
Hebron. Heretofore it has been the
usual way to take water at Richardson
and New Salem. Now the water is
hauled from these points by freight

plan of the company during the coming
summer to build a water reservoir a,
Hebron much the same as the one which
was built at Dickinson last fall.

had not been able since to perforr
manual labor. Nothing is known of DE-
ceased's history prior to his coming t
this county.
