Blacksmith Shop Sold

Paul Sloss of Gendive. has pur-
chased ]. M. Cramer's blacksmith
shop and took possession Wednes-
day. The transfer includes the old
established business, the shop and
one 25 foot lot.
Mr.. Cramer, who is the veteran
in his line. having come to Beach
four years ago, has been very sue
cessful and has built up fine busi-
ness which he was compelled to
relinquish on account of failing eye.
sight. He still owns farm near
this city. and city property, and
will continue to make Beach his
home and to sell machinery. He
will. however, spend the winter in
Cuba's warm climate.
Mr.. Sloss is a man with wife
and four children and is reported
a first-class workman. For mum.
ber of years he worked in the best
shops in Minneapolis. but has been
a resident of Glendive for some
time. We wish him success ir

Big Ranch Deal

j. P. Reeve, the we'll known
rancher living north Of town,
some two weeks ago purchased the
w. w. Lathom horse ranch on
Beaver creek, 20 miles north, near
the old W-Bar ranch.
Mr.. Reeve purchased all the
horses. something over 300 head,
and thus brings his live stock hold
ings up to more than 400 head,
making him one of the biggest horse
ranchers in the county at the pres
ent time.
Mr.. Lathom has until June Is
to round up the stock and make
the delivery. He and his wife
will spend the winter in Califor-
MIA.
Mr.. Reeve, in increasing his
horse holdings, is running coun-
ter to the common current. but

taking.

BIG Elevator
COMPLETED
Built Absolutely Firsproot and is
the Best Elevator Structure
in the State

The big elevator of the Russell
Miller Milling company at this
place was practically completed
Monday, and the event was cele-
brated by the illumination of the
plant in the evening, the electric
juice for which was generated by
the milling company's private
plant.
Mr.. G. H. Gilman of the RIM
people was here Sunday and in
spected every portion of the big
structure and complimented Fore
man Funk very highly on the work,
with which he said he had no fault
to find whatever.
Mr.. Funk did the work for the
Barnett & Record Construction Co., {,
Of Duluth, which held the contract,
the cost Of the building being
something over $50, 100000.
The elevator, which is only part
Of the milling plant. is built of
brick. seven stories and deep base
ment. and has ten cylinder storage
tanks. built Of heavy reinfored
concrete. 65 feet high and Is feet
in diameter. capable Of holding
100000 bushels of grain. In ad-
dition to these there are four in
termediate bins.
The mill, when completed next
spring, will be the best in the
state, and for it's size, no superior
anywhere. 1t is absolutely fire
proof. having almost no wood in
its makeup, and is equipped with
all the latest devices.

The Wrestling Match

The grand wrestling carnival at
Arts hall Saturday evening brought
out a large crowd of admirers of
athletic sport, and the two events
on the card were decidedly inter-
esting.
H. Halburg of Brainerd, Mimi,
sometimes known as the 'Terrible
Swede," undertook to throw l..
Gibertson of this city three times
within an hour for a side bet Of
$25 and the long end of the box
Office receipts. He won two falls
with a scissors hold, but Gilbert
son took the third fall and the
match.
The preliminary between Chas.
Sheedy and Joe Kuehnl, was the
really interesting event, as the
boys were considered about evenly
matched. Ku e h n |, however,
proved the better. and was in the
better condition, winning the
match by taking two falls straight.
1t S quite probable that Sheedy
and Kuehnl will meet again on the
mat within few weeks, and the
result may be different.
