SELLS 100000 PROPERTY.
Col. John Bidake Has Sold Ills South American
Property for Bio Money.

Col. John Bidlake's old Cavalier county
friends have learned recently that he
has disposed of his South American
asphalt properties at Colombia and will
move to California to reside. His two
sons have been there attending college
since leaving the Minnesota university,
and the family has for some time past
contemplated making the Pacific coast
their permanent home of the future.
Col. Bidlake back in 1892 left his Cava-
lier county home at Osnabrock to ac-
cept the appointment of u S. Consul at
Barranquilla, in the State of Colombia,
South America. He saw number of
the miniature war scenes common
among the republics of South America.
After reslgning from the consulship his
services were secured by the incorpora-
tors of a Spanish Iailroad running
through Colombia. 1t was while en-
gagged in this work that he bought up the
asphalt properties which make him a
wealthy man. 100000 is stated as
being the amount he sold them for re-
Gently. Col. John Bidlake in the early
days figured prominently in Cavalier
county's political history and though
unknown to most of the new comers
has among the old timers many who
hope he will long live to enjoy his ac-
cumulated wealth

AN UNKNOWN GRAVE.
The Worldly Waaderings of Jerry Arnold Have
Found Last Resting Place.

The remains of Jerry Arnold, who
dropped dead last Thursday morning in
Salter's pool room, were given a last
resting place Friday afternoon in the
Masonic cemetery. Though he was al
most total stranger here Langdon
people made every effort to locate the
family of the dead man. The body was
kept at Gardner's undertaking rooms
from Thursday forenoon to three o'clock
Friday afternoon in hopes that reply
would be received from one of the
many messages sent in inquiry to Grand
Forks, where he worked before coming
here for the threshing season. He was
thought to have lived, or has relatives
in New York state. but nothing more
definite could e learned. The short
funera, service at the grave was con-

FIRST THRESHING DONE.
Cavalier County Goes on Record With Early
Threshed Barley Last Week.

The first threshing of the season for
1906 in Cavalier county, as reported last
week, occurred on Thursday, August
9th, when j. +. Ramage threshed out a
couple of loads of early sown barley for
feed. Threshlng of the crop of 1906, how
ever, was given practical start last
Saturday afternoon at Wales when
William Dew started up his new j. L.
Case outfit on the home farm and on
the initial run put 1900 bushels of bar
ley through the separator. No report
as to yield or sample has been received
but there is understood as being plenty
of early cut crop IN that locality to keep
the Dew machine in continuous opera
tion on through the season.

GIT. NORTHERN RESERVOIR.
Railroad Company Purchases % Acre Tract
for S425O of W. J. Mooney.

The Ct Northern last week purchased
of w. j. Mooney for s4,250 tract of 90
acres of land, located on his farm ad-
joining the railroad right of way. which
is to be the site of an huge reservoir
for holding the supply of water needed
by their train service along this line.
The excavation will be of immense size
and finished with a bottom and sides of
concrete. The reservoir it is expected
will draw its supply of water from the
two coulies at the juncture of which 1t
is located. A pipe line will carry the
water to the pumping station alongside
the track, which will take the place of
the windmill water tank. The Ct.
Northern is also locating large reser-
voir at Hannah.

Hf SEEKS FOR PARDON.
Petition Asking that MansIau9hter Sentence
of MCDougaII be Committed.

When the state board of pardons
meets at Bismarck in October petition
will be presented by Cavalier county
friends asking for the pardon of George
McDougall, who was given ten year
sentence in 1904 for manslaughter. The
killing of the halfbreed, Oulette, in a
drunken brawl being the charge.
McDougall's health has been growing
worse ever since he was placed in con-
tinement. The petition is finding a
number of ready signers. as many view
the evidence at the trial as not showing
very clearly that it was McDougall who
fired the gun

DEATH OF PETER WILD.
A Pioneer Cavalier County Resident
and Successful Farmer Has
Passed Away.
IS MOURNED BY MANY FRIENDS.
Fatal End of Illness After Few Days Sickness
Peritonltis the Dread Disease-A Busy and
Useful Career Cut Short in Prime of Life
Big Funeral Sunday Afternoon.

Peter Wild, one of Cavalier county's
early pioneer and best known residents
died Friday afternoon at his homo near
Osnabrock after short struggle of but
two days with that dreaded disease,
peritonites. Mr.. Wild had been unwell
for some days, but it was not until
Wednesday afternoon that he took to
his bed. During the past few weeks
many homes in and around Langdon
have been stricken by the hand of death
but in this instance the blow falls on
both the family and many friends of the
deceased with more crushing weight
than is usual. The shock caused by
news of his unexpected death came
with suddenness that made it almost
impossible to believe by those who had
seen him on the streets OF Langdon only
few days previous. He was IN the
prime of manhood having only reached
his forty ninth year last February He
had about reached the realization of his
lifes ambition as successful farmer
and was ready to enjoy the fruits of the
years of hard work. 1t was twenty-four
years ago that Mr.. Wild first came to
Cavalier county, having previously re-
sided in Traill county four years since
coming to North Dakota in the spring of
1878. When Mr.. Wild first arrived in
Cavalier county in 1882 with the early
settlers, his beginning was small, farm
ing 100 farm, which with his capacity
for business management has grown
into an estate estimated as consisting of
anywhere between 5000 and 5000 acres.
He has for a number of years been
recognized as the largest individual
farmer in the northern part of the
state. All his friends and neighbors
recognized him as being fine type of
self made men of this Northwestern
country and the sudden termination of
his active and exemplary career brings
a loss not alone to the bereaved family
but to nelghbors and friends for miles
around.
Deceased was born in Bayfield, On
tario on the 2Sth day of February, 1857,
and besides wife and eleven sons and
daughters is mourned by several broth.
ers and sisters. Among the later are
Mrs. George Weir u Milton, Mr.. John
Wild of Milton, Mrs George Cam, bell,
OF Blake, Ont, and Miss Maggie Wild
who still resides on the old family home
stead at Bayfield,, Ont.
The funeral was held Sunday from
the residence near Osnahrock, the SER
vices occurring at st. Aiphonsus church.
The attendant procession OF mourners
accompany ing the remains being one OF
the largest known for II numher of years
past.
