of Raymond Squire met at his home
last Friday to help.him celebrate his
sixth birthday. Mesdames Collins,
Dove and Eckles assisted in providing
amusements for>the children and an
afternoon of romping, closing with ice
cream and candy in plenty and the
sitting for a kodak picture satisfied
the highest hopes of the most expect
ant guest.
A quiet wedding took place Sunday
morning at ten o'clock at the Method
list parsonage. Mrs. May Agnes Nor
ton, a daughter of Maj ]. c. Clifford
of Lame Deer was united in marriage
to Mr.. O. NJ. Cleavenger Of Lee. The
bride and groom are we'll known in
the county and their we'll wishers will
number many. Mr.. and Mrs. Cleav-
enger left Sunday afternoon for Lame
Deer where they will reside.
The sermon delivered Sunday morn
ing from the Presbyterian pulpit was
filled with thoughts of true patriotism
and Rev. Leland's evening sermon
"Our Country" had the real swing
of a Fourth of July grafton. The
Methodist church was festooned in our
national colors and the pulpit draped
with ''olu glory. The advent of our
natal anniversary was observed
throughout in a most fitting man
ner.
George L. Bills, freight brakeman
between Glendive and Forsyth, while
setting brake OH top OF box car at
Miles City last Saturday morning, had
the misfortune to be thrown to the
ground and received badly sprained
wrist and a bruised hip. His Injuries
are painful and will compel him to lay
off for several weeks-Glendive indie
pendent.
And, by the way, we want to hand
the Forsyth band little bunch-of
roses-just to let them know that the
people appreciate what they did to-
ward their entertainment on the
Fourth. 1t is no easy task to get to-
gether an organization of this nature
in two weeks time, but it was accom-
plished. Prof. Dove had an up hill
row to hoe from the start, but he hoed
it and came off with flying colors for
himself and each member of the band.
The music produced by the band was
good.
For days the bridge has been nearly
enough completed to permit people to
cross on foot but not until Saturday did
any one ride or drive across. Perhaps
to no one in Rosebud county will this
bridge mean more than to the Reas al
Cold Springs ranch, and to them was
given the distinguished honor of being
the first to cross. At a signal from
Commissioner Schiltz, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jack Rea drove on to the bridge, and to
them who had experienced the dread
and difficulty of crossing by ferry the
striking of the horses hoofs on plank
crossing was lire music in their ears.
The turnout was decora ted in the ma.
tonal colors in honor of the memorial BILE
event. Mrs. James Rea, from St. Paul,
who is sojourning at the Cold Springs
ranch was the first horseback rider te
cross.
A sad accident occurred in the N. P
yards last Saturday morning at 2:3(
,Q'clock, which caused the death of Ed.
A. Mote, one of the b1st known brake
men on the division. The train crew
of which Mr.. Mote was member on
coming east Friday pulled a draw
head from a car and left the car fast
ened to the rear end of the caboose
The train on arriving at Forsyth wa
pulled on side tract: and left until
Saturday morning. The caboose wa
needed for trip west and it was thu
intention to shove the bad-order car OF
to the repair track. The engine wa:
backed to the car and fastened with
chain, one link of which was coupled
to the engine with a pin. The car wa
pulled to the main line, when Mot
gave the signal to back slowly ant
stepped between the car and engin
e probably to pull the pin. He steppe'
