STRUCK FIRST
FLOWING WELL
3. Il. MouIton Happy Owner Of the
First Artesian Well in the Golden
Valley depth los Feet

John Madison took a pump out
to B. H. Moulton's place. twelve
miles south of the city, last
week, with the expectation Of
selling it to Mr.. Moulton for use
in the latter's new we'll. Mr..
Moulton refused to have the
pump put in. and thereby hangs
tale.
The Madison brothers-John
and Wm.-were drilling a we'll
for Mr.. Moulton. and Sunday
noon Chas. Bissonnette. who works
for them and was on the drill at
the time, felt the drill drop. He
pulled up the tools and went to
dinner, after noting that the wa.
ter came up to within about 25
feet of the top of the hole, which
was los feet deep. While he was
eating, Mr.. Moulton's little boy
came running into the house
with the information that the
water was rising steadily in the
hole. big Slim" hurriedy fin
ished his repast and went out,
to find the water within two feet
of the top, and in a short time
it was pouring out-an artesian
we'll.
A trench was hastily provided
for the overflow, which they
thought would cease in a short
time, but as it continued undi-
minished, the we'll was SUCCESSFULLY
piped and capped Tuesday.
The Chronicle reporter was out
to the place Tuesday evening and
found the gusher still doing busi-
ness steadily. The five-inch pipe
rises above the ground about five
feet, and from the cap on this is
run a one and one-half inch lat.
eral pipe, from which issues an
inch stream of water cold as ice,
the flow being as steady as clock.
work.
Naturally, Mr.. Moulton feels
kind of good by himself at this
piece Of luck, and his neighbors
are wondering if there are any
more wells in the vicinity like
this one.
This explains how John was
"bilked' out of the sale of q
pump, and possibly an engine,
too.

Jungle Osnizens a Tough Lot

According to Special Agent
Mitchell of the Northern Pacific,
formerly chief of police at Glen
dive, we have had with us here
in Beach one Of the toughest
punches of outlaws which ever in.
tested any region. The bunch
consisted of plain sneak thieves,
car robbers, hold-up men and at
least one well-known dynamiter.
On the latter, who is a smooth
specimen, they have never been
able to secure the right kind of
evidence, although there is no
doubt as to his proficiency in the
use Of the deadly stuff.
Mr.. Mitchell has been working
around here for some time, and
has learned definitely that the car
robbers were operating between
here and Wibaux. He has found
the remains of the fires where the
robbers burned merchandise along
the snow fence west of town, and
in one heap of ashes he picked up
quart Of brass buttons off a
well-known make of mems gloves,
showing that whole case had
been burned. He learned that
two men sold 48 pairs of mems
shoes for one dollar a pair and
divided the money in a local place
of business. He says it is mar
vel that the people of Beach es'
capped with as few robberies as
were committed, as some OF
these desperate characters, he
said, would not hesitate to COM
nit murder if by so doing they
could acquire a little loot.
Just why the gang was allowed
to camp here and remain here as
long as it was, is past his under
standing. Several Of the outfit
are now beaded straight for the
penitentiary. and several Of then
have been there already.

WORRY DROVE
HIM TO Death
Brooding Over His Financial Troub-
les Robs Farmer Of Reason---
Puts a Bullet Through Heart

Tuesday, about noon, Slayton
Robinson, farmer living about
81 miles southwest of this city,
shot himself through the heart
with a .3S-ca!ibre revolver in his
home, death occurring instantly.
The awful deed was the culmi-
nation of two months worry over
financial and crop troubles, DUR
ing which time he had been re-
garded by his family and neigh
bors as being deranged. For the
last week he had sat in moody 81.
lence, and the efforts of his
friends to rouse him from his des-
pondency had proven fruitless.
Tuesday noon, while the vigilance
Of the members of his family was
temporarily relaxed. he went in
to another room and committed
the terrible act.
Five years ago he came to this
country from the little town of
Viola. near Rochester, Minn., and
filed on the land upon which he was
living. He had broken up this
year and put in about 200 acres,
the crop being flax. The crop did
not do we'll, and as he had bor-
rowed from Wibaux bank the
money to cover the expea ase, the
prospect of a crop failure drove
him insane. By next January he
could have made final proof to
his land and obtained title.
He was a married man, 81
years of age, and leaves wife
and four children, one of the lat
ter being a married son in Texas,
and the other three girls and all
at home.
The body was brought to this
city Wednesday for preparation
for burial and was shipped this
morning back to the old home for
interment.
1t is said that the deceased car.
ried quite az amount Of life in
surance, so that with the half
section of land, the widow and
children will not be destitute.

and decide upon another date.
There was received last week
by the Beach High school, ap-
paratus for use in the physics
department to the value of
$4,000. The cost Of this ap-
paratus is virtually nothing,
thanks to Principal Nelson,
through whose efforts the school
eorned a place on the classified
list. and thereby is entitled to
state aid in the sum of $4,000
per annum. This amount yearly
will buy a whole lot of things,
and certain it is that our schools
have prospects as bright as those
of any place Of equal population
in the state. rhe schools will
open for business on Monday,

eclipse the enviable record made
last year.

Will Have Fine Home Here

On Wednesday, the 18th Of
August, at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ziesenis, occurred the mar
riage of their daughter. Iva, to DR..
H. Benjamin Museus Of Beach,
N. D.
The home was prettily decor
ated with ferns and white roses,
and. at high noon. under an arch
of ferns from which hung roses.
the ceremony took place. The
bride was attended by her sister.
Miss Hazel Ziesenis, and Rev. j.
W. Irish of Chippewa Falls read
the service in tte presence Of i'm.
mediate relatives only. At half
after twelve the wedding break
fast was served. Above the table
hung bell Of roses from which
streamers of white satin ribbon
were stretched to Join the roses
and the hand-decorated place
cards at the guests places.
The bride was attired in
gown of imported white Swiss
embroidery trimmed with Irish
hand lace, and carried a shower
bouquet Of brides roses. Miss
Hazel Ziesenis, as maid of honor.
wore green voile and carried
bridesmaid roses.
DR.. and Mrs. Museus left in
the afternoon for St. Paul, where
they will spend a few days, and
from there will &c to Beach, N.
D.. where they will be at home
after the fifteenth of October.
Mrs. Museus wore a gown of
green Shantung silk and a travel
ing coat of natural color rajah
trimmed with green, with hat to
match.
The bride is a popular young
lady OF Chetek and a student Of
both Hamline and Minnesota uni
versities, in the meanwhile de-
veloping her artistic talents at
St. Agatha's conservatory. Her
china is almost entirely Of her
own decorating.
While she will be missed in the
social circle of Chetek, we feel
that what is our loss will be
Beach's gain.
DR.. Museus is successful ply
sician in Beach. N. D., and a
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. C. F. Museus
of this city.
! The many friends in Chetek and
vicinity send with them their

Sunday evening and will be at

SEGREGATION
PLANS MADE
Six Hundred or More Residents Of
Golden Valley Ask for Creation
Of New County by that Name

O"4uA " SAlS 40%t SAAesS AAVG&sA -
hall was given over to moving
picture show, the meeting of the
Commercial club, advertised to
be held there Monday evening,
was necessarily transferred to the
Woodruff & Linger hall, and as
great many were not aware of
the shift the meeting was not so
largely attended as it would have
been otherwise. However, those
dauntless spirits who conceived
the idea of segregation and have
worked and talked for it. were
there as usual when anything for
the welfare of the Golden Valley
is on.
The petitions which have been
circulated show that almost every
man in Beach. most of the people
in the territory affected and
every man in township 1876 in
ranges 1O5 and 106 have signed.
In this city the notable exceptions
to those who have affixed their
signatures to the petitions are
the present states attorney. John
Keohane. who is in Southern
California on business. and his
assistant, R. F. Gallagher. While
neither of these gentlemen gives
his reasons. it is apparent to
all that such action would put the
former in an embarrassing situa-
tion. AS to the latter-he had a
hard fight to win in the primaries,
and should the segregation meas
ure carry, he would be legislated
out of the political job which has
cost him no small effort and ex-
pense. Indeed, even if he were
to receive the appointment Of at.
torney for the new county, in the
event of its creation, his salary
would be only one-half as much as
the present Billings county attor-
ney, and it is thus clearly seen
that all his labors and expense
would be practically for naught.
While this has a mercenary as.
pect. it is perhaps excusable.
The circulators have been en-.
gagged during the last few days in
rounding up the stragglers who
have not signed and in preparing
the petitions for presentation to
the comm issioners.
A committee was appointed tc
solicit funds for carrying on the
project, which committee went
out next morning and gathered II
all kinds Of money, indicating
that our people are not hesitan'
about providing the sinews Of
war.
j. R. Smith was appointed tt
see that Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Heffron is on hand at tht
meeting of the commissioners OF
the 29th, when the petition viii
be presented. to represent Billing
county in the absence Of thu
states attorney, while R. M. An
.drews will represent the Beacl
Commercial club and the petition
ers. In acting for the county
Mr.. Heffron will relieve Mr.
Keohane of an embarrassing di
lemma-where he woud be com
PEELED to either advise the com
missioners against the expresse,
desire of the people Of his hom
community or against his lav
partner, R. F. Gallagher.
