IPHONE SERVICE
| IS RESUMED
PROGRESS Made in the Matter
of Getting Bids for New
Local System.
Meanwhile, Business Men Re-
sumo Monthly Service
with Old Co.

Some progress has been made the
past week in the way of so. ing our
telephone difficulties. At a special
citizens meeting last Friday the
special committee made report in
regard to a proposition received
from representatives of the Tri-State
Telephone Co. to put in phone sys-
tenn as good or better than that of
the Minnesota Central at this point
at cost not to exceed S12,500 and
offering to take shares in the local
company. Manager Baker of the
Minnesota Central was in the city
the same day and succeeded in max
ing an arrangement whereby citi-
zens who desired to pay the advanced
rate required by his company in Or
der to have satisfactory local SER
vice while the new company is get
ting ready to do business. could do
so without prejudice to the forma-
ton Of the new company. Most of
oE5f.business men are now getting
service from month to month on
this temporary plan, but the meeting
developed the fact that there is no
change in the sentiment of the peo-
pile for company which is eXclu-
sively controlled by local stockhold-
erS.
A new subscription paper was
started and about thirty of the
stockholders present at the meeting
agreed to take stock. Local capital
lists stand ready to take all that is
not wanted under the popular sub
sscription plan, and we shall have
more to report on the matter at an
early day.
The intention is to get every pat
ron to take small amount of stock
on the installment plan as far as
possible,

Alex. DenniStOun'S Romance.

Relatives of Alex. Dennlstoun were
Informed recently of his marriage
on the 9th inst. to Miss Sarah Laird
The wedding was celebrated at the
home of the bride at Acton, Ontario
and after the congratulations and
wedding repast Mr.. and Mrs. Den.
nistoun left on the midnight train
for Chicago, intending to spend their
honeymoon at that city. Milwaukee
and other points enroute to Redwood
Falls, which city they will reach
about Feb. LIST.
The Acton Free Press says that,
There is pretty romance in con-
nection with this happy union of
hearts. 1t is we'll known that the
bride was superintendent of nurses
at the sanitarium and hospital at
Prairie du Chen. Wis, for several
years prior to her removal to Battle
Creek, Mich, where she has since
been practicing her profession.
While there Mr.. Dennistoun was a
patient in the sanitarium, and it was
not long before the capable and at
tractive Superintendent Nurse from
Canada won his heart and carried
away his affections, and during the
intervening two years this has RI
pened into most ardent mutual
esteem. 1t is genuine love match
and congratulations were never more
fifty bestowed. Miss Laird was Sup
erintendent of Nurses at Phelps
Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Mich, be-
fore she accepted the position at
Prairie du Chen. Her many friends
here wish her and her husband album
dant prosperity and happiness.

important Ditch Decision.

Judge Olsen has filed his findings
and order for judgment in Munsch
VS.. Stelter and Maasch. an action
tried at our last term of court. The
case is of general interest to many
parties who have had trouble over
ditch agreements. The parties, in
GLIDING the father of Mr.. Munsch,
owned adjoining lands in Under
wood township and all had some wet
lands which they wished to drain.
In 1906 the parties had an agree
ment to dig a pillow ditch about 70
rods on the land of the Munsches
and about $50 rods on the lands of
Stelter and Maasch, each of the four
to pay one-fourth. Later the ditch
was dug and drained the land of the
plaintiffs but failed to fully drain all
the other lands. The court found it
quite generally benefited both of
the defendants. although failing to
do all that was expected. The ditch
remained in the condition it was in
until last spring when Stelter and
Maasch damned it up near the
point where it came upon their lands
but leaving it open below that point.
In this way they got practically all
the benefit while the Munsches who
were above them were unable to
drain their lands through the ditch.
After some digging out and filling
in by the respective parties Mr..
Munsch employed C. T. Howard of
this city and began an action to en-
join the defendants from damming
up the ditch and to compel them to
remove the obstruction they had
placed in the same. Through Coun-
ty Attorney Owens the defendants
resisted, claiming that agreement
was void because it was not in writ
ing and also that a part of the
agreement they reserved the right
to fill up the ditch at any time it did
not benefit their lands. The case
was sharply contested but has result
ed in a sweeping victory for the
plaintiff, who RECEIVERS his costs as
well as gets judgment preventing
the ditch from being filled up. The
court decides that after having al
lowed the plaintiff and his father to
pay for their share of the entire
ditch. and on the grounds that the
ditch could and did take off all the
water that flowed from plaintiffs
land that it was unjust and ineuuit-
able for them to dam it up near the
line while retaining all the benefit Of

Death of ChaS. Wiltshire.

The Gazette last week received a
clipping from a San Bernadino pa
per containing an account of the
death of a pioneer resident of this
city, Chas. Wiltshire, which occurred
Nov. 18th. Through some error, a
notice which was mailed to us last
month failed to reach this office.
The newspaper account is as follows:
Charles Wiltshire, a well-known
and aged resident of the West High
lands section, passed away yester-
day afternoon at his ranch home,
his age being 80 years. He had been
i'll but three weeks and while it was
realized that his condition was seri-
Gus, death had not been expected.
and came as decided shock to the
members of the family.
Mr.. Wiltshire had been, with his
family, a resident of the valley for
the past q years, and in all those
years had resided on the ranch
where he died. He had, in spite of
his years, been active and most
highly esteemed by the community
in which he lived, and in fact thru
out the valley, he being we'll known
in very wide circle.
He was born in Chilicothe, Ohio,
but spent most of his time when a
young man at Terre Haute. Ind.
Later he moved to Wisconsin and
then to Minnesota, where he was en-
gagged in the cooperage business for
a number of years. Twenty-one
years ago the family removed to San
Bernardino and settled on the ranch
where his death occurred,
A family, composed of wife, two
daughters and son, Miss Clara

BIG LINER WAS
WRECKED
NEWS HAS BEEN RECEIVED THAT
CUNARD STEAMER SLAVONIA
WITH MANY PASSENGERS
WENT ON ROCKS.
(By Associated Press.)

Porta, Azores Islands, June 12.-
The steerage passengers and crew of
the Cunard line steamer Slavonia,
which was wrecked off Azores Is
lands, have been landed at Velas, on
Flores island. The 40 cabin pass
engers were transferred to the North
German Lloyd liner Princess Irin, to
be taken to Gibraltar. Few details
of the loss of the liner have been re-
ceived here. 1t apparently was
wrecked yesterday, but the time of
the disaster has not been definitely
ascertained. No loss of life is re-
ported.
The Princess arrived at the side
of the Slavonia Thursday afternoon.
All. Thursday night was consumed in
the transfer and 40 passengers,
men, women and children were on
board by daylight and the change
was made without a single accident.
Early Friday the Princess left Sla-
vonia for Gibraltar. In the mean
time the steamer aBtayia had heard
the wireless call and she also hast
ened to the wreck intermediate and
steerage passengers were transferred
to the Batavia.
The wireless telegraph played a
prominent part in the saving of the
crew and passengers of the Cunard
steamer Slavonia, which today Is a
total wreck. The wireless feat of the
steamer Republic is equaled if not
excelled. The steamer Princess
Irene was 180 miles away when the
thrilling call was picked up. I'M
mediately on receipt of the message
of distress the operator flashed back
an answer and learned the location
of the stricken ship. The Princess
Irene fastened to the rescue and
everybody ON the Slavonia was saved.
