ing turned Down assistance OHer'
ed BY Their Iowa Friends.
An amusing incident in connection
with the recent winter, comes from
Deering and is worthy Of note. Five
miles west of Deering there resides a
we'll to do farmer by the name of G.
P. Padellford, formerly brakeman
on the Northwestern road from Eagle
Point, Iowa. He railroaded for years
and savoy nary a cent, when his
star of destiny guided him to North
Dakota. He managed to rake money
enough together to file on good
claim, but had little left, not even a
team of horses or a COW, or as he put
it, mot enough to invest in dozen
chickens" This was six years ago,
mind you. He doesn't know any
more about farming than pig does
about ice. Today he has nine head Of
first class work horses, some cows
and pigs and is free form debt on his
homestead, has plenty Of good mach
inery bought and paid for, besides
recently bought an adjoining quarter.
He will this year probably crop 300
acres of land Besides he loaned his
father-in-law thousand dollars with
which to pay on a farm in South Da-
kota. Besides he has plenty of mon
ey in the bank and MS credit is prac-
tically unlimited. He is worth today
practically $4,000. He refused
81, 900 spot cash for his land not long
ago.
When the terrible stories Of suf-
fering were being circulated in the
east by those interested in the sale
of southern lands, some Of the friends
of the Padellford family in Iowa
believed them AMI sent draft for $50
with which to get out Of the God for
saken country. Another friend sent
$40, and still another sent several tel
egrams which were delivered at the
fran, begging them to pull up stakes
and get out Another friend telegra-
phed to the De-ring agent a ticket
for the family. Of course the money
was returned, and the tickets were
not used. Under the circumstances
Mr. G. P. Adellford and family felt
very much chagrined for they had not
suffered in the least for fuel or food,
and on the coolest day of the winter
Mr.. Padellford and family felt
back
