large as was expected. there were many
hundred people present. About rs went
from Dickinson. nearly all of Belfeld and
a big delegation from Beach. besides
the smaller places and country at large.
1t was a western celebration in every
sense of the word. All the amusements
were of the wild west style. To the old
timers. the days amusements recalled
scenes of pioneer days and to the new
corners to the country. there were sights
never to be forgotten.
All the events were held in the
square. In the morning a bunch of rs
or 80 calves and steers were driven in
and a fire built. The process of branding
was then shown in all it's details.
A mess wagon provided food for the
hungry crowd and the meat from the
steer which had been roasted whole,
the baked beans. the bread and butter
and coffee. all tasted like the fat of the
land.
Bill Mccarthy and his cowboys gave
a fine exhibition of riding and roping.
There was much interest in the steer
ropine contest. Ed. Phillips was the win
ner and was awarded a $50 Rattan
saddle. In the broncho busting contest
Bill Mccarthy won a fine Rattan Saddle.

tween the Medora and Sentinel Butte
girls but the final result was left in
doubt. At night there was dancing of
the famous ''Medora'' brand and as
many as could remained to take part,
winding up a day long to be remembered
and one that would be a credit to a town
many times the size of Medora.
Other successful celebrations were held
at Hebron Saturday and at Richardton
Monday. An account of the New Eng
land celebration occurs in another
column. The celebration at the Lodging
camp Monday was a grand success.
There was a large crowd in attendance
and a plendid program was carried out.

fed a great many hungry people.
There were three horses entered for
the first race. Follis took first and Sec
ond money with two horses. Creswell
third. W. H. Hanson's bay took first
money in the stake race, Curtis Creswell
second. The race between Hanson's bay

Creek was won by Deep Creek. The
tug Of war between Deep Creek and
Mud Lake township was won by Deep
Creek.

more especially Mr.. Amy, the other
executor of my fathers estate, that 1
am the elder son of the late Daniel
Russell of Melrose.

sides my younger brother, William,
has been left SIS. 600 in my fathers will.
l further understand that MIR. Almy is
a rich man.
