What is generally supposed to be the

What is generally supposed to be the
closing chapter of the episode of week
ago last Sunday night is the departure
on to days train of Manager Sam Rosen-
thai and the clothing stock of the New
York Clothing Co. Public sentiment was
plainly against them and Langdon people
think their judgment was good in going.
VIM. O'Reilly, we'll known as a teacher
in this county up to about four years
ago, when he drifted down to New
Mexico in search of health and strength,
is having honors thrust upon him on
every band in the home of his adoption.
1t is only short time since we learned
he had the appointment of postmaster
given him and now comes news of his
qualifying as justice of the peace. There
are some left behind here that we fear it
would not help much to be hauled up
in the court of our old friend who gained
fame with his pen while writing under
the nom de plume of "Bill Boyle
p srly Saturday morning Mrs. Frank
Johnston, of this city, passed peacefully
away to the great beyond after linger-
ing illness of complicated diseases, from
which she has been gradually wasting
away for the past two months. The
illness of the deceased has called forth
the sympathy of the entire community
and friends on every side did all that
loving hands could 10 minister to her
comfort as the end approached. Mrs.
Johnston came to Langdon with her
husband little over two years ago and
by her genial and companionable man
ners, both in the home circle and socially
had won the regard of large number Of
friends. Her death at the early age of
twenty-six years is rendered most pa
thetic by the fact that bright little girl
and boy of five and seven years respec-
lively are left in company of the bereaved
husband to mourn mother whom they
loved, The funeral took place on Tues
day morning from the Catholic church
and was quite generally attended.
Still further evidence was brought to
light Sunday morning in demonstrating
the fact that Langdon is heabiding place
of number OF undesirable characters,
and at the same time demanding addi-
t1onal police protection, in the form OF Il
night watch, steps toward which should
be taken by the council at once. It is
but a week since the destruction of the
business part of the town was attempted
by fire bug, only to be followed in a
few days by the burglary of Sullivan's
meat market. Between the hours of
four aud five o'clock an entrance was ef-
fected at the rear of the store and the
tracks left behind show that. the object of
the thief was to get into Suliivan's pri-
vate office and try his hand at the safe,
but beat a retreat on discovering that
IN ike's" blg dog was there with vigor-
Gus objectlon. Before leaving the till
was pried open and its contents. amount
II TO some ss18 III change taken along
Tor travelling expenses. There is no clue
to who the guilty one is, although one
fact ls plainly evident, that he was
quite familiar with the interior surrounds
inRs Of Sullivan's meat market. Let the
council take action on the question OF in

remembered he made visit at about
this time last winter CoDl'r Weir has
the coincidence of friends throughout the

the telephone for half hour and as the
result barrel of clans arrived on the
early train and the country was saved.
OF the details of the bake THE BEE is
unable to state with certainty, but all
reports 60 to show it was the most sue
cessful event ever held by the club.
President Warner, Secretary Dayton,
Treasurer Belts and Medical Examiner
Gordon all acquitted themselves finely in
song and remark. The club ambulance,
in charge of julius Tilson, was on hand,
was not called into service. Directors
Louis Briscoe, Martin Corbett, Howell

ter occasion in the history of the Sandy

closes Saturday
night of this week. 1t has
been the most noteworthy sale
ever held in the store; has ex-
celled all of its predecessors,
and has distributed through
out this region an amazing
quantity of desirable bargains.
The picking right up to the
closing hour will be almost as
good as on the morning of the
first day. Some, yes many,
of the things here when the
sale opened were all sold with
in a day or two but they only
gave place to other mill End"
bargains just as good. Some
of these were forced to the
background in the early days
of the sale: where there are so
many lots some MUST be
overlooked. Others have ar
rived since. Millmen not rep
resented when the sale opened
have turned to us with lots
which they were anxious to
sell. Where we've found them
worthy, we've taken them.
