During the past week Geo.
Krouschuabel, manager Of the Fertile
Brick Co., Fertile, Mimi, was in Dickin-
son, accompanied by Mr.. Norcross of
Detroit, MINI. They came here to see
what arrangements could be made for
getting Lehigh coal for burning clays at
their works in our sister state. They
also spent some time looking over the
Dickinson Fire & Pressed Brick Works
which they frankly admitted were SUI
perior to anything they had seen in the
line west Of the Twin Cities.
The coming attraction at the opera,
house will be Holden Bros. in a sensa-
tional scenic production Denver Express.
This play although a %metodrama is one
of the better kind; the story of the play
is of intense human interest, a story
that appeals TO every heart; the comedy
is of that bright, quick kind that makes
one forget his troubles; and the scenery
is the finest ever carried with an organi-
cation of this kind. The Denver Ex-
press will be at the opera house for one
night on Feb. 18TH. Prices 50 and Is
cents.
Recently c. H. Thompson, Western
Union bat,eryman, with headquarters in
Dickinson, returned from a trip as far
west as Helena, and is happy over the
fact that it was his last trip so far west.
His territory is now from Mandan to
Glendive instead of Mandan to Missoula
as formerly. Dickinson has come to be
the most important repeating office be-
tween St. Paul and the Coast, is so recog-
nized by the Western Union manage
ment, and requires the almost constant
care OF a battervman. The fac tthat this
Office has nearly 1000 cells whereas all
the other Western Union offices in MIR.
Thompson's territory have but 200 cells
indicates something of the magnitude Of
the business which Wire Chief Rudiselle
looks after in his office.
d. S. Littlehales, locomotive foreman
for the Northern Pacific at this place for
the past II years, has been promoted to
the Helena Office where he will 60 next
week, leaving his family in Dickinson
until after the close of the present school
term. Mr.. Littlehales commenced with
this road at Mandan in 1854, working his
way up until now he is given one of the
most important Offices on the line. With
one exception he is the oldest locomo-
tive foreman on the system, and he
stands very high with the company, as
his promotion indicates. MI. LittlehaIes
was reared in Galesburg, ILL.,, where he
commenced railroading with the c. b. &
Q. nearly rs years ago. About a month
ago he was offered the foremanship OF
the Great Western yards in Chicago, and
a little later the N. P. offered him a posi-
ton in jamestown, this state. MI. Little
hales has been prominent as an Odd Eel
low, Workman and Forester, in this city,
and has served several terms as mem
Der Of the school board, and the people
of the city will regret his departure very
much.
