A. billiard and DIR. V. H. Stickney, Of
Dickinson, and J. E. Phelan of Fargo, as

Capt. Skeen Buys.

T. H. Brien has sold his blacksmith
shop on Clough street to Oscar Skeen,
the transfer to be made on the first OF
November. Mr.. Brien. who has one Of
the best shops in the state, has built up
a large and lucrative trade; but owing to
his health and his cattle interests he
deemed it best to make a change, and
particularly so when one of his faithful
and trusted hands wanted to take the
business. Mr.. Brien has been in the
shop for nearly 10 years, during which
time he has built a large residence, a
three-thousand dollar shop, carrying a
t~wo-thousand dollar stock, and stocked a
cattle ranch besides educating his boys.
1t has taken hard work and good nan
agement to do all this, and Mr.. Brien
feels now that he is entitled TO a chance
to take life a little easier.
Mr.. Skeen. the new proprietor, needs
no introduction to the Press readers.
He began with Mr.. Brien four years ago
where he has since been with the excep-
ton of one year that he served in the
Philippines. He has Won the confidence
of the people and everybody will be glad
to know that he has established himself
in business in Dickinson. He will have
the best OF credit the same as his predi-
cessor, and will keep on hand a full stock
of supplies.

known, will remain with the new man.

There is n case of diphtheria in
Dickinson-a young Hungarian child
The child was brought in from the coun-
try late n night and DR.. Davis was
called: The child was in a dying condi-
ton and something had to be done at
once. He travelled about town and finally
found a small house in the eastern part
of town where he arranged for the care
of the child, The house was quarantined
and the doctor does not think that the
disease will spread, although he wishes
that the county owned a pesthouse where
such cases could be looked after with
mere safety to the public. Some people
are inclined to find fault because the case
was taken into town, but the doctor knew
nothing about it until the child was land
ed in his office at IL or ! o'clock at night.
He did the best he could under the cir:
cunstances.-Later. The child has re-
covered and has been taken home.
