Passed Suddenly Away.

Mrs. E. B. Partridge died at her home
in New England, as miles south of Dick
inson, on the morningo of February 2, after
an illness of about a week. Deceased
was a frail woman but had been con-
sidered in better health than usual the
past winter and was thought, up to the
day prior to her death, to be recovering
from what was supposed to be an attack
Of the grip.
Mrs. Partridge was about 50 years Of
age and was born in Brattleboro, Yer
mont. She came to North Dakota in the
spring of 1887 and settled with her ,hus-
band and daughter at New England,
where she had since resided.
Mrs. Partridge was a kind, energetic
lady, always doing what she could for
her family and those about her. Her
Oldest daughter, Alice, married Roy P,
Hubbard a little over a year ago and
when nj with her mother has resided al
Glen Ullin. There are three younger
children-Annie aged 2, Janette 5. and
Branda 3.
Services were held from the residence
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. U. G. Rich oi

inson officiating.

resting place in a lot neal the residence,

A Case Replevin.

Mrs. L. Mulholland arrived from the
west last Saturday night and a day or
two later Mr.. Mulholland came. They
were called here on rather an unpleas-
ant errand. 1t seems that when they left
here nearly three years ago they sold
their furniture to Geo. Eye, travelling
batteryman for the N. P, reserving some
books that had been handed down from
one generation to another, together with
some of their baby's clothes. Mr.. Eye
was to store these articles, carefully
boxed, and ship them as directed later by
Mr.. and Mrs. Mulholland. A bill of sale
was made, each enumerating carefully
article of furniture sold, and, together
with a chattel mortgage which Mr.. Eye
gave to secure the balance of purchase
price, was filed at the court house. Sub
scquently Joe Slack and family came to
Dickinson and the furniture was re-sold
to them. They, in due time, paid off the
claim and got the papers released. Mr..
Eye had told them about the reserved
goods and explained that the owners Of
the articles would. want them shipped as
soon as they were permanently settled
and would pay any reasonable price for
storage.
Finally Mr.. and Mrs. Mulholland Sc
cured a permanent position at Butte and
wanted their things. Mr.. Mulholland
came down a month or so ago and found
that the Stacks claimed everything. The
owner suggested that he could easily
prove the whole transaction but thought
the original bill OF sale should settle any
dispute. Mrs. Slack defantly told him
that the bill of sale had been released
and he would lever get a chance to see
it again. Finally Joe thought better OF
the matter and promised to ship the
goods to Mr.. Mulholland, and he went
home. A few days later the Stacks were
transferred to Fargo and instead of full
filing their agreement they took the
things with them.
Attorney c. E. Gregory has the case in
charge, which, with the conclusive proof
at hand, means that Mr.. and Mrs. Mul
holland will get their goods after due
process of law.
The goods really have very little value
to anyone but Mr.. and Mrs. Mulhollanc
and it is strange that any n shodle
have made them SO much trouble abou
the matter.

TRICKS OF transformers

How They Are Sometimes Compelled
to Help One Another Out.
zone Of the old slang phrases Of the
STAGE" said Muggles, who used to be
q good actor, twas to pong.' This
means, or used to mean, using your
own language-that is, playing a part
without cues Of the proper lines, re-
lying only upon a knowledge Of the
play to carry you through. Years ago
on the road there used to be some high
ly ludicrous situations in consequence
Of a new play being produced in q
hurry. The stage manager, however,
had q wonderful genius for patching
up a hitch. When circumstances were
necessary, he would sometimes lower a
front scene and tell the low comedian
and chambermaid to 60 on and keep
it up and while they did SO he would
arrange how the play had to be con-
tinued.
"Of course, actors are expected to
help one another out Of a difficulty,
but at times old grudges were paid off.
For instance, I remember on n oc-
casion a letter had to be read in one
scene. Unfortunately this letter could
not be found, SO a 'dummy'-that is,
a blank sheet-was sent on the stage.
"'Say, dad,' said the actor who had
to read the letter, seeing it blank,
here's a letter for you. You had bet
ter read it yourself, as I am sure it
contains good news
"But dad tumbled to the occasion
and replied: NO, Tom, you read it.
I've mislaid my spectacles.'
".Bless me- said Tom, 1t is written
so badly 1 can't make out a word Of it.
Here, Nelly, you read it.
1.-THE unsuspecting Nelly takes the
letter, and seeing 1t blank says: No,
father had better read it. He will be
able to make it out better. I'll go and
fetch your spectacAs. I know where
they are.' And off she goes.
1.-THE old man is again equal to the
occasion and calls out to her: Never
mind bringing them, Nelly. III come
and get Them Then be walked of and
the stage manager had to rearrange
the scene.
Eyes, sir; there's a lot in the the
atrical business you outsiders never

Mandan Pioneer: Anton Johnson of
Sims brought in the hide of one of the
largest Buffalo wolves ever captured in
this section of the country the first of the
week. The hide measured nearly seven
feet from the tip of the nose to the end
Of the tail. The ball of the foot meas
ured five inches long and three inches
wide. The leg measured six inches in
circumference above the ankle. The
wolf was thirty-6ve inches in height.
The hide was in good condition the ami
NAL evidently having been trapped.
He was captured south of Sims near the
Heart river. Mr.. Johnson brought the
hide to c. L. Zimmerman, treasurer of
the Ranchmen's Wolf Killing organiza-
ton. and received the reward which that
company offers as bounty. The hide is
on exhibition at the First National Bank
and excites considerable attention. A
wolf of this size is amply able to kill a
two year old steer aud when in company
with another wolf will tackle a three year
old.

and their efforts we're appreciated. At
half past eight the company formed for
drill. Sergeant Burnett called the roll
and reported to Captain Skeen who then
proceeded to drill the company in MILF
tary tactics. The sword drill was con.
ductedby Lieutenant Freeman. Through
out, both officers and men were right
soldierly and deserved the hearty ar
plause they received. The grand march,
led by Capt. Skeen and Miss Pearl, fol-
lowed the drill, after which dancing was
the order. The dancers were nearly all
young people. who in their dainty gowns
and military dress. made a most charm
