1t was at New Salem that the Con-
solidated Coal Co. miner was killed last
week and not at Lehigh as announced
in some Of the state papers. The mar
was from Billings, Mont, and he was a
good miner, but got a little careless.
Supt. Brady had visited the mine the
morning before the accident occurred,
and had warned the workmen that this
particular place where the man was
killed was unsafe until strengthened
with timbers.
The Northwestern Furrier Co. have
leased the Langdon building on.Clough
and Cakes streets where they open for
business on the 10th. J. Simon, local
manager, was in the city this week and
completed all arrangements and is east

equipment. This will give the people
of Dickinson an opportunity to get their
furs made up at home and to get their
repairing done without the bother of
sending away.
Boulger & Hughes, first-class laundry
building in South Dickinson where they
will open a laundry the first of the year.

affords a finer opening for a laundry

to be congratulated on having decided
to come here.

Sheriff Geo. Reid and Deputy J.. ].
Tomamichel, of Billings county, we're
returning home on Thursday from their
Texas trip. They went after Bassett
who stole some horses in Bowman
county, but found on their arrival in
Texas that a district Judge. a relative Of
the offender, had turned him loose
claiming there was no evidence against
him, Notwithstanding that the state OF
North Dakota had wired through its
proper officers the nature of the offence
and to hold Bassett until the arrival o
the Billings county sheriff.
L. A. Watkins was in from the ranch
the past week and in company with w
P. Owens met J. r. Taylor of Fargo

east OF Bismarck last fall and he hope
to get his claim for damages amicabl'
settled with the company. Mr.. Taylo
has made a proposition which we under
stand is being considered. Some of tn
, parties injured in the same accident
however, have taken steps which woult
indicate that there was to be a big law
, suit before their cases were settled.
