e Gen Funston. {

Brigadier- General Fred Funston, one
of the most picturesque figures that
the American army has produced in
recent years, was born in Ohio, Nov.
3, 1865. When he was but two years
old his family removed to Kansas, and
the future general received his educa-
ton at the high school of lola and the
Kansas state university He did not
graduate from the last-named institu-
ton, however, but left it to take up
newspaper work in Kansas city. Then
began an adventurous career that took
young Funston to Death Valley, to the
Yukon and to other remote parts. In
1896 he Joined the revolutionists in
Cuba and fought eighteen months. At
the outbreak of the war with Spain
he returned to the United States and
was commissioned colonel in the goth
Kansas volunteers. 1t was in the Phil
ippines, where he went after the Span
ish war, that the incident occurred
that won for him fame and promotion
to high rank in the army. At Calum-
pit he crossed the Rio Grande river
on small bamboo raft in the face of
heavy fire and established a rope ferry
by means of which the U. s. troops
We're enabled to cross and win the bat
tie. For this deed he was promoted
to the rank of brigadier-general. He
headed the expedition that resulted in
the capture of Aguinaldo. Since re-
turning to the United States he has
held several high commands, inclutl-
ing that of the department of the Pa
cific.

soon after. Of cholera, in st. Paul.
Rev. Frederic Aver, in about 1850,
came from Sandy Lake, where he had
been missionary and teacher, and
made good farm and residence at
Belle Prairie.
Between 1845 and 1851, was often
passing through the country between
st. Paul and Grow Wing, and in 1851
I settled permanently at Sank Rapids.
AT that time on the east side of the
river, jeremiah Russell and wife were
living in a new log house on the bank
of the river Just above Sank Rapids,
where Mr.. Russell opened the first
farm In Benton or Stearns counties,
Mr.. Sweet was then living with Mr..
Russell, and below Sank Rapids, op-
posite the residence Of Mr.. Gilman an
eccentric character named Charles
Webb resided In a small log house.
my business has taken me, several
times. across the plains and to the
upper waters Of the Missouri, and to
the Saskatchewan in British America,

In company with others, I have been
attacked by an Overwhelming number

called on for a speech. He said that
the boys always did their very best
when they played Fargo, but in the
coming game, they would have to play
harder than they had ever played be-
fore against any team. He closed with
giving good advice in connection with
the rooters and told them to cease
their yelling when they saw the quar-
terback's hand go up, thus giving him
chance for signals.
There certainly was rejoicing among
the high school pupils. and especially
the football boys, when the game
which ended SO VIGOROUSLY for the
local team was over. Every member
OF the team played good game, and
those who did especially we'll were
Audley, Roddy, Klein Van Alstine, Geo.
Elton and Ed. O'Reilly. 1t is hoped
that the results of the game to be
played next Saturday with Fargo will
be as good.
The school band made good noise
at the grounds, the members instru-
ments being old trombones, claronets,
horns, snare drums, etc. They at
tracted considerable attention.
AS the members of the Minerva soci-
ETY. held no meeting a week ago last
Friday, the program prepared for that
day was given along with last Fridays.

took a contract from the government
for the transportation of goods from
St Cloud to old Fort Ambercrombie.

only In answer to personal requests.
Il am now living at Sank Rapids,
having first visited that place and st.
Cloud (then uninhabited), in the sum-
mer Of 1916, fifty-seven years ago. In
1910 left lower Canada, where was
born, in 1923, and came west by the
great lakes, to Chicago, went to Green
Bay, Wisconsin, in 1871; in 1912 walk
ed west to Dubuque; in 1843 went to
st. Louis; in 1874 went up the Mis-
souri, by steamboat to Fort Benton in
Montana, and returned to what is
now Fort Buford at the mouth of the
Yellowstone, and thence, with ponies,
easterly, to the Mouse river, where
wintered in what is now North Dakota.
I'm the spring of 1841 went to Fort
Garry, and assisted in organizing q

an EARLY DAY pioneer
Of NORTH DAKOTADE
Philip Beaupre Of Sank Rapids MIMI Who Spent Years on
the Plains Of North Dakota Prior to 1850 Dies From
Accident at Advanced Age Of SO Years

Inc following account of the death
OF Phillip Beaupre, known as one of
me Oldest OF the pioneers of the north
west. having first come to Minnesota
and what Is now North Dakota as early
90 lS43. is taken from the st. Cloud
Daily Times of Wednesday. Mr.. Beau
pre- was at one time employed by Hon.
Jud LaMoure's father at Pembina. N. d
and fought Indians in 1S45 on the
banks Of the Missouri at what is now
Mandan, N. d.
The st. Cloud Times says: Philip
Beaupre. one of the Oldest pioneers of
Benton and Stearns county, passed
away this morning at his home on
Grand avenue, Sank Rapids, after an
illness of several weeks resulting from
an accident which befell him at his
nome. He was in his eighty-third
year, and up to a short time ago he
was hale and hearty for his age. The
accident referred to happened at his
home. He was engaged in trimming
trees and fell from a stepladder and
dropped to the ground. In the fall he
dfslocated his hip and he was re-
moved to st. Raphaels hospital. On
account of his advanced years it was
thought that he would not recover
from the shock and he lived much
longer than was predicted.
During the latter part of his life he
had worked almost constantly about
the house in caring for the lawn and
trimming the trees, and he took great
interest in the appearance of the old
homestead. Judge Beaupre was known
for his kind-heartedness, and his many
neighbors will greatly miss him. He
was a loving father and husband. He
took great pride throughout his life
IN his family, which, indeed, Is a most
estimable one.
Philip Beaupre was one of the earlv
pioneers OF Minnesota. He was a ma
tive Of lower Canada, born on July 6.
1928. He came to the United States
in 1910, and was employed on a canal
in Chicago one year, after which he
went to Green Bay, Wis.,, and spent
one year and half. He then took
trip to st. Louis and New Orleans.
Returning north again after a year in
the south he went out into the Yellow
stone country and was one year in
the employ of the American Fur COM
pany. In the summer of 1874 he came
to. Minnesota and located at Crow
Wing, and was in the employ of the
Indian traders, Morrison & Mcdonald,
with whom he remained for about
five years. He was afterwards in the
employ of Henry M. Rice at that place
for one year. In 1S49 he established
trading post in Morrison county, but
after conducting it for a year, came to
Sank Rapids, where, sometime after,
he pre-empted some land. and was en-
gagged in farming and trading until
1852. He then went to Pembina, N. D.,

High School Notes

The pupils Of the high school gath
cred together in the assembly hall last
Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Stebbins be-
gan by saying that this was the first
time this year that all the pupils were
assembled together and complimented
them on their good looks. He next
spoke of how enthusiasm among the
pupils encouraged the football boys
and he urged that large crowd be at
the game between Park River and the
home team to show their loyalty and
help out financially.
Prof. ]. Nelson Kelly followed by
saying that he felt he would be per-
fectly safe in endorsing everything
Mr.. Stebbins had said. He said that
everything undertaken ought to be
carried through in a presentable man
ner and applied this to the football
boys, hoping that they might carry off
championship laurels at the end of the
season.
He spoke briefly of the record of the
pupils and said that the scholarship
mark was something that ought not
to be forgotten; that it was source of
deep regret when finding that NUM-
Der of young ladies and gentlemen had
failed and to have success one must
keep every months work up to the
mark. He stated that. the same con-
tests that were held last year would
be held this year and the prizes given
would be as follows: The Trophy cup,
medals for first and second orations,
two medals for defamation and, most
likely, an additional prize for the best
DICTATOR or debating team.
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Walter Lee of
the Fargo high school and men,
bers of the football team of that city,
visited the high school Friday after
noon. They came to see the Park
River VS.. G. F. H. S." game. which they
supposed would be played Friday, but
on account of the game between Lis
bon and Fargo in their own city, Satur-
day, they were compelled to leave on
Friday night.
Mass meeting was held by the H. S.
pupils Friday after school. This meet
ing was held In preparation for the
coming game. Mr.. SEEMING acted as
leader in the yells, number of which
were practiced. Three cheers were
given for Coach Skulason, who was
