I Residents of the south end of Fourth
street, adjoining the Ct Northern right
of-way, report being disturbed in their
sleep on Sunday night by runaway, the
team getting scared while their owner
was hitching onto some Of the telephone
poles, which he doubtless intended con-
verting into frewood. Darkness con-
cealed the identity of both man and
team, but this incident ought to give the

want to use the poles themselves they
had better hurry up about it.

Memorial Day exercises in Langdon
this year we're as complete and patriotic
! a demonstration of loyal citizens as one
could we'll wish to see. The day was fine
and its observance practically begun with
the rising of the sun. In both the resi-
dent and business quarters of the city
decorations were early displayed The
noise and hustle Of business was for the
day laid aside and everything possible
done to keep green the memory of our
country's heroes who had fought and
died for the nations good. The parade
that formed in the afternoon was an i'm
posing spectacle and would have reflect
ed credit on much larger city than
Langdon is.
Sunday evening the community of
Langdon was greatly shocked to learn
of the death of Co. Treasurer McGauy-
rams little SOD, Horace, who died shortly
after five o'clock, death undoubtedly be-
ing caused by relapse of the attack of
spinal meningities, which confined the
little fellow to his bed the greater part of
last winter. For week previous to his
death he had been ailine, though until
Saturday none thought that his condi-
ton was in the slightest degree critical.
Besides being the pet of the whole
family Horace was universal favorite
with everybody in Langdon, both young
and old. His bright and intelligent
manner exceeding largely that generally
found in one Of his years. Tuesday fore
noon the funeral was held at the Catholic
church were it was found impossible to
seat the large gathering of friends that
were present to pay the last token of
respect.
