Wilton News.

Gustaf Ekholm and Miss Mary

married at Slaughter last Friday,
Rev. L. W. Gullstrom officiating.
A pathetic incident in the re-
cent death Of Joseph Swanson is
the fact that a telegram sent to
his father failed to reach him, and
the old gentlemen did not arrive
in Wilton until Saturday morning
after the funeral. Thus he had
his trip for nothing and missed
seeing his son.
Reports of threshing fire losses
are still coming. While thresh-
ing on the Owen Flanagan farm
north of Bismarck Tuesday a
spark from the engine caught the
straw stack and burned the sepa-
rator and four wagons belonging
to the Morris brothers, together
with five stack Of grain belonging
to Flanagan, there being no in
surance on any of the property de-
stroyed. Fire also caught the
straw stack on the Charles Larson
place southeast of town now owned
by Henry Mccullough, but the
separator was gotten away in time
to save it.
Tuesday was very windy day
and some damage from fire is re-
ported in various localities. Sew
eral prairie fires were started, and
on S. A. Peterson's place a spark
from the Christian threshing en-
CINE set fire to a stack and burned
up setting of grain for Mr.. Peter
son. The separator was unframed.
What will probably prove to be

j. P. Peterson not only holds
the sweepstakes as one of the larg
est men in our county, but is re-
puted to be the largest retail ma
chine merchant in North Dakota.
Realizing the advantages of hav-
ing such business man in our
progressive town, we believe our
readers will join us in hailing the
welcome news that "J. P" is con-
summating a deal whereby he will
make McClusky his headquarters.
That means that we will have an
implement house here that will be
as large as any retail establish
ment in the country, in position
to meet all competition, with cities
within a radius Of sixty miles, for
trade in that line.

"Jimmie" Weds.

At Fort Yates, N. D., at eight
o'clock on Monday evening Sept.
24th. occurred the marriage of Mr..
James Eschle Davies and Miss
Kathleen Veronica Reedy, Rev.
Fr. Bernard performing the cere-
mony. The happy event took
place in the Catholic church at
Ft. Yates, after which a reception
was held at the home of the brides
parents, both of which functions
were attended by a large number
of friends Of the young people.
Mrs. Davies is the only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Reedy,
old and respected residents of Ft.
Yates, and she is spoken of in the
highest terms by those who know
her. Aside from good education
she is talented in music and art.
The home she shares will be
graced with many beautiful wo-
manly qualities, and the groom is
to be congratulated upon the prize
he has won.
The Jimmie as he
is familiarly known, is jolly, wit
ty. and good-natured young man
who really wins friends wherever
he is, besides which he is possessed
of a good sound business head
that will make it possible for him
to always provide more than a
good, comfortable home for the
lady of his choice.
They were the recipients of
many costly presents. After the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Davies
drove to Linton and left on Tues
days eastbound train for Mime
apolis to spend their honeymoon,
after which they will begin resi-
dence at Washburn, where Mr..
Davies holds responsible posi-
tion of deputy county auditor

is more than probable that the
state will not have a killing frost

Albert and Paul Freitag returned
Saturday from their trip to St,
Paul with stock. They were de-
layed over day in getting in with
the stock and so did not strike as
favorable market as they would

but still they found a fair market.
They took a.trip from st. Paul to

AJAX Freitag accompanied them on
the trip.
H. Bollhan reports that the best
yield Of grain he had threshed up
to last Friday was .on the Pete
Jensen farm 81 miles southwest Of
Max. Flax went somewhat over
20 bushels; feed, $50 bushels;
Northern wheat, 20 bushels. For
AN all-round yield this looks good
and Mr.. Jensen had just cause to
feel good over the returns from
his land. This again proves that
we are in one Of the richest Sec
4ions of the country thai ever lay
out of doors and the same country
that ranchers used to report to the
fhen known world as positively no
good-except for ranchers.
at last we are able to report
something definite relative to the
aaying of steel on the new line.
The work has been progressing be-
tween Garrison and this place the
past week at the rate of about two
miIes per day and the crew were
vithin three miles of town at the
time of going to press and should
reach there some time tomorrow.
There is large amount of side
track to lay in the yards at this
Dlaoe and the work will take some
time. just how soon the ship
ping of freight in and out of town
will begin is a question that re-
aa;ins to be settled. All hope that
the time will be short.
