1t is really amusing to hear two women on
the long distance phone trying to say it all
within the three-minute limit, though The
Tribune can aver that the feat was actually
accomplished lately by couple Of SISTERS
who swapped experiences over the wire be-
tween this place and Minot.
While rounding up sor.ie stock over on the
range II miles south of town Tuesday. Tom
Peterson, cow-puncher, had two ribs frac-
tured and sustained severe bruises about the
head and face by being thrown from his
horse. the animal having stumbled into
badger hole.
Ill I
and favorably known to our people as pre-
scription man in the Kruger drug store,
left here Tuesday for Armour. S. d., where
he is said to have business interests. He is
succeeded in the Krueger establishment by
J.. j. McFee, an experienced druggist, late
of Williston.
The new town of Sherwood, "over he the
mouse as our friend Tom Pagan puts it.
is rapidly coming to the front. A Washing
ton dispatch says that Senator McCumber
has introduced a bill to make Sherwood a
port of entry. Three months ago farmers
were cutting hay on what is now the site of
the embryo metropolis.
Unc'c Tom Wyckoff, who in the early days
OF California and thence up to the present
time has seen as much of frontier life as has
almost any living man. is devotng his time
at his home six miles northeast of Bowbells
to writing history of his cventful career,
which when published in book form will hy
far surpass in anecdote and thrilling adven-
ture any work of fiction yet produced.
1t is with sincere regret that The Tribune
learns of the serious illness Of our good
friend. Mrs. r. B. Stewart, whose physicians,
the Drs. Windell, hold out no hope whatever
for her recovery. Mrs. Stewart has for long
been Il severe sufferer from nervous prostra-
ton, and recently there has been added to
this malady an attack of dropsy in it's worst
form, which the sufferer in her enfcebled
condition cannot long withstand.
The report that Soren Anderson was
slugged, robbed and left lying on the prairie
in an insensible condition to freeze, by a
gang of thugs at Minot the first of the week,
is for the most part the merest rot. Fact of
the matter is, as given out by SOren himself,
that he started for Seattle, and while waiting
at Minot fora Great Northern west-bound
train. he started out to take a general "farC-
well'' of the town. IN this undertaking.. the
propriety of which might be questioned
from strictly orthodox standpoint, he
missed some 5000 that he had on his person
The loss somewhat distracted him. and he
wandered about in the cold till he became
EVERY much chilled,' as he puts It.. and
giving up hope of recovering the "ilthy
lucre,'' made his way to the depot and took
passage on the first train for home. Soren
is now at the home of his brother, three
miles east of town. a little ashamed of the
harpcning. but physically none the wo.se
for his experience.
