A party of 70 German peasant women

Mrs. Vollenberg, the wife of an OREGON
ranLher, who went t. Germany to
accompany the young women to their
new home. They wore the typical
German peasant Clothes and attracted q
lot of attention.
A peculiar accident happened Friday
afternoon of last week when No. 3 was
at the depot. One of the passenge rs on
the train came across the street and
went into the store of the Dickinson
Meat & Grocery Co. The train waits
here ten minutes but while the man was
making his purchases tie thought the
time raj up and, dashed for his car.
Not noticing that the door was closed,
he plunged through the glass. smashing
it into hundreds of pieces. He had plenty
of time before the train really left to
settle with the proprietor of the store
for the damage, and before the train
pulled out, his ten minutes stop in
Dickinson had cost him at the rate of
81. 50 a minute or SIS. the actual cost
of the glass.
Mrs. A. T. Crowl and Miss Grace
Crowl gave a dinner party Monday
evening in honor of Mrs. Alexander
Hughes of Minneapolis. Covers were
laid for twelve and at six O'Clock q
we'll arranged course dinner was served.
Carnations and other flowers were used
in decorating the rooms. After the din
ner.; some of the husbands came in to
spend the evening, making a gathering
of about 10 ladies and gentlemen. Music
and conversation occupied the early
evening and later on the guests played
cards. The affair was very informal
but was most delightful and all were
glad of an opportunity of meeting Mrs.
Hughes again.
A good story is told of a local mer~
chant. A Russian, living out in the
country, owed him a bill Of about $50,
which the merchant gave to a Dickinson
lawyer for collection. The Russian was
notified that the bill was in the hands
of an attorney for collection and came
into the city to arrange. for payment.
After conference with the lawyer, he
went out to raise the money. The mer-
chant whom he owed often aids settlers
and loans them money, so the Russian,
in perfectly good faith, went to the mer-
chant to borrow the money to pay up
the bill. It is needless to say that the
merchant was unwilling to lend the Rus
sian the money with which to settle his
own account with the settler.
