Of the best ever held in the county,
Died.-The death is reported from
Ethan in Dawson county, of Mr. Mar
tin Oberempt. well-to-do and much
respected settler, who died at his home
southwest of the above town, of blood
poisoning, on the 9th inst. resulting
from a scratch received few days
previously whilst butchering a hog
Physicians We're Immediately called
in, but they could do nothing to relieve
the sufferer until God called him to-
himself, and he passed peacefully
away His sudden death was a pain
full surprise to his family and friends
The Rev. J. J. O''Neill of Beresford,
will hold a Fair at that place, opening
on Monday, Nov. 21st and lasting four
days. We predict that Father O'NeilI
will be very successful in raising a
large sum for his new church which
he hopes to build in the early spring.
The Fair which was held lately at
Huron for the benefit of st. Martins
church, was one of the most successful
held for some time in the diocese and
Dean Desmond and his good lady par
ishoners might well feel proud of their
efforts. The receipts amounted to-
$1,000. What was particularly notice
able in this Fair was the fact that it
was we'll patronized by the leading
on-Catholics of the city.
The Rev. Eugene O'Sullivan of st.
Joseph's church, Arithon, Iowa, and
formerly a priest of the Sioux Falls
diocese, is at present a patient at ST.
Joseph's hospital, Sioux City, Iowa,
suffering with peritontis. We are
pleased to learn that Father O'Sulli-
van is improving rapidly and there are
hopes now that he will soon be able to-
sit up. His life at one time was dis
paired of.
Died.-An old pioneer settler Of
Moody county has been called to his
eternal reward. viz, Mr. r. Kennefick,
who died on the 9th inst. Of kidney
trouble, at the home of his son, e. r.
Kennefick, in Colman, at the ripe old
age of rs years. The remains were
taken to st. Mary's church at Dell
Rapids on Wednesday morning, where
appropriate services We're conducted
by the Rev. James McNally, after
which they We're shipped to the old
home of the deceased at Aclley, Ia,
accompanied by his two sons, and
there they were laid to rest. Mr..
Kennefick resided for many years on a
farm northwest of Dell Rapids, and
was good citizen and a practical
Catholic His death will be mourned
in Moody county.

dence, Montrose on the 18th inst. The

years, and an old pioneer settler Of the
Black Hills country, died at his home
in Lead City on the 18th inst, after
a protracted illness. Deceased was
born in st. Johns, N. B., and in 1870
came to the Hills, where he has since
followed the carpenter trade. One
daughter and three sons survive his
memory, viz: Mrs. G.. L. Innan and
Justin, John and Francis Mccarthy.
Requiem mass was celebrated in St.
Patrick's pro-cathedral by the Very
Rev. Bernard Hunt, after which inter-
ment took place in the Catholic ceme-
terry.
The good people of Montrose have
just closed one of the best Fairs ever
held in that town and as result they
have cleared so far the magnificent
sum Of $4,000. 1t is expected that
when the returns are all made that
the proceeds will net over $1,000. The
success of the Fair is due in great
part to the Rev. Father McCawliff,
and Montrose can we'll congratulate
itself upon having SO good pastor.
In the spring Father McCawliff will
begin work on the new church and
when completed it will be one of the
most commodious in that section Of
| the diocese.
Mr., George Gallagher, who has been
a resident of Elkton for many years
where he was extensively engaged in
the sale Of farm implements and
threshing engines under the firm name
of Baskerville & Gallagher, has dis
posed of his property and business at
that place and will move to Spokane
Falls, WASH, next month, where he
will make his future home. George
will be sadly missed in Elkton where
/, he was general favorite and the good
wishes Of a big host of friends and
well-wishers will follow him and fam
lily to their new home.
