ST. CHARLES HOTEL PLANS
FOR PROPOSED ANNEX

Within short time Messrs. Reichert
& Ray will have sketches for their pro-
posed new St. Charles annex. While
in Fargo and other eastern cities the
past two weeks, W. G. Ray has given
the matter considerable attention. Han
cock Bros. of Fargo are am ong those
who are preparing sketch of what
could be done in the way of adding 40
new rooms
One plan under consideration is the
moving of the opera house. frame
structure. to other lots. and constructing
the annex on this site. In many ways
this seems perfectly feasible. The re-
placing with brick building would
lessen the fire hazard and thereby i'm
prove the block.
Reichert & Ray own lots north of the
St. Charles on the opposite side of the
alley and they could build here and
connect across the alley.

A $4,000
DAMAGE
LocalAttorneys in the Fred Han
sen Suit Against John Gunwall.
Wife Died from Burns in
a Prairie Fire.

Fred N. Hansen has brought suit
aRainst John Gunwall for $40. 900 dam
ages on account Of the death of his wife
on the 18th Of last March in prairie
fire IA miles north of Taylor. The
action is brought in Dunn county and
may possibly come up at the January
term of court. NJ. L. Mcbride of Dick
inson and Martin. Martin & Martin of
Green Bay, Wis, are the attorneys for
plaintiff. H. C. Berry of this city will
defend Mr.. Gunwall.
On the 10th of March the PRESS re-
ported the death of Mrs. Fred M. Han
sen. aged % years. who lived but six or
seven hours after being rescued from the
terrible fire, which plaintiff alleges was
started on the GunwalI farm, spreading
to his homestead.
The husband and young wife came to
this state from Wisconsin during the fall
OF 1909, and during the fire of the fol-
lowing spring, it is thought that Mrs.
Hansen became exhausted in her effort
to save her mother from the raging fire
and possibly tainted. When found her
clothing was nearly all burned. The
mother was not harmed.
John Gunwall is one of the Oldest
residents of this country and he has the
reputation of doing things about right,
and it is not easy for his friends TO
think that he was negligent in this
matter.
The outcome of the suit will be
watched with considerable interest.
Our law is very strict when it can be
shown that a person has been negligent
in setting out fires. However, there are
many fires which get out on the prairies
and for which blame cannot be attached
to any person. It remains to be seen
what facts can be proven in the Hansen
Gunwall suit.

TALK ABOUT 500 LINE
BUYING OF FRYE & LlllBRlpeE

A Dunn County News correspondent
thinks the 500 is going to build to Oak
dale because some of the road officials
have been buying stock of Frye & Lilli-
bridge of Dickinson. The writer says:
"After a silence of nearly six months
we will again endeavor to supply Dunn
county's most popular newspaper with
items of news and gossip as heretofore
from the Oakdale district. Our vaca-
tion was not due to n eglect, nor did we
intend to hide ourselves from public
view. but just because it was a very
busy season and every one too busy to

'.Since the last Oakdale items ap-
peared many changes have taken place
that 60 to show that this particular part
of the county has been rapidly pushing
ahead and never at any time has it
shown any decline in the way Of agri-
culture. Many new houses having been
built. and larger fields opened up,
greatly reducing the range to fertile
fields of grain. The thought and am
bition of every settler has ever been to
put his or her farmstead on a self sus-
tanning basis. which they long realized
coud not be done by leaving it lay in
its native state, many homesteaders
having put into cultivation their entire
100 acres and are now buying up the
intermediate tracts of railroad land and
next year Oakdale with its ten or
dozen traction breaking outfits will
practically reduce the balance of the
virgin prairie to q state of cultivation.
500 railroad officials have been keeping
an open eye on this locality all summer
and this past week seven of them in

of the killdeers They gave out very
little information, as railroad officials
seldom do, but by the way thev snored

have road by 1912, to take out our
votes in the national election, politi-
cally we are a mixed bunch, but worthy
of recognition so much so that for the
first time in in the history of North
Dakota a governor has thought it worth
while to invade our little burg and tells
US what great country we live in and
how the people of the eastern part of
the state envied our positions. Re-

With the leaving Of J. F. Gardner, w.
H. Clark becomes local manager of the
Gold-Stabeck-C Credit 8 Loan Co. H. L.
Wood of Bowbellsc comes to Dickinson
as bookkeeper and stenographer. .-o
Mr.. Wood has been with the Gold
Stabeck people in the northern part of
the state and is therefore familiar with
the business. His family will not come
to Dickinson until after visiting rela-
tives in the east.
Mr.. Clark had been associated with
MIR. Gardner in the management of the
Gold-Stabeck business here and is
thoroughly equipped to take the entire
management.
j. F. Gardner. who opened the Dick
inson Office early last summer, left the
first of the week for Hood River, Oregon,
"a city of $500 inhabitants on the
Columbia river. about so miles from
Portland, where he steps in as the

Parker & Co. have purchased 30 foot
frontage from the Merchants National
bank site next to the alley and will
commence work at once for modem
two-story brick building. The bank
people have reserved 10 feet on the
north side of their property for a private
alley, which gives Parker & Co. lot go
feet in depth. with regular city alley
of 16 feet on the east side aud 10 feet
alley north. The store will face south
on First street north (old Oakes street,.
After looking over the field carefully,
J. c. F, Parker and Duncan Mcneil
came to the conclusion that they could
not find more suitable location for an
up-to-date market and grocery store than
the bank site and they were not long in
closing the deal when the individual
owners were called together. The
property was priced at 81, 600.
The Parker g. Co. business has in.
creased to such an extent. that the firm
is compelled to build. They have an;
inside lot where they are and their first
thought was to move the present store
off and build the whole length of their
lot, but to do this would cause loss and
inconvenience to business and they de-
cided that they would much prefer the
new location on account of light and the
alley advantages.
The new store will be planned on the
most modern lines, such as tile floors.
marble counters, etc. The basement
will contain work rooms, properly VEN
tilated so that there will be no odor in,
the market and grocery departments OF
elsewhere in or about the premises.
The second floor will be made into
suites of rooms for renters. fitted with
individual bath rooms lavatories.
central heat. etc. Natural wood finish
will be used. Already several prospec-
tive tenants have spoken for fats in the
new Parker & Co. building.
Charles Bake will have charge of the
excavation and expects to have the
foundation in this month, thus enabl-
ing him to start the brick superstructure
at an early date in the spring.
Walton g. Davis will erect the build
ing which is guarantee that every
thing will be we'll done. The firm
hopes to get The store ready for occu-
pancy by the middle of the coming
summer. s
The new structure will cost around
SIS, 900.

A. 7. CR0WL TAKES PARTNER
WILL TAKE LIFE EASIER

Amos T. Crowl, for IS years owner
and manager of the A. T. Crowl g. Co.
Department Store, will retire from active
business on January 1,1o11. taving sold
half interest in his store to H. F.
Schroeder of St. Paul, the we'll known
member of the firm of Vandever 6.
Schroeder.
MIR. Crowl has proven himself to be
one of the leading business men of the
state, and by his careful management
has built up an extensive business. COM
prising the largest department store in
Western North Dakota. He feels that he
is entitled to little rest, and it is with
this end in view that the change has
been made.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crowl and Miss Crowl
plan to spend the winter in Southern
California where they are the owners of
a fine fruit orchard.
MIR. Schroeder comes to the Crowl store
with wide expert ience with wholesale
houses and particularly in the grocery
line. He is a wide awake. energetic
man, and after casting about for good
retail store business decided that the
opening in Dickinson suited him per-
fectly.
Mr.. Schroeder will arrive in the city
the last Of the month and will assist in
the annual invoicing of stock at the
Crowl store. It is not likely, however,
that his family will come to the city
before another spring, as they have a
beautiful home in st. Paul.
Mr.. Cr0wl said to the PRESS this
week that he appreciated the trade that
his store had enjoyed in the past and
he trusted that there would be contin-
uation Of the same good feeling that had
been evidenced in the past.

B DIVISION
ILLEGAL { ]
Attorneys Br State Historical s.
Out Golden Valley and Slope
Counties. Papers Are
Ready to Serve

The county division business in Bill
ings dropped few pegs on Monday
when Judge Edward Enserud ofFareo
and Attorney ". F. burnett of Dickin-
son visited Medora. the county seat
town, for the purpose of obtaining, facts
ins connection with the election on
Npvember 8 which they believe will
easily throw out the proposition.
There are several irregular and illegal
acts in connection with the division
vote in Billings conuty which leading
attorneys of the state say will make the
vote on this particular issue null and
void. Attorney Burnett. when seen in
his office in the Dakota National bank
building did not care to state just the
points Of attack, but he assured the
PRESS that it was a strone case
from his side and he said that it would
bring out some very interesting points
of law. One point which is looked up
on by many as being fatal is the
blanket stickers'' which were used in
the election.
The papers in the case will likely be
served early next week. The suit will
probably come before judge W. C..
Crawford early in January. perhaps at
the regular term of court at Medora on
the 10th of next month";.
It will be remembered that on the
face of the returns the Golden Valley
proposition carried by 81 majority and
the Slope by 135.
Last week the Beach papers thought
that Golden Valley, with full appoin-
tive set Of officers and Beach as the
county seat, would be doing business by
January /. However. there are large
number of people in Billings county
who think that Governor Burke will not
be legally called upon to appoint county
officers for Golden Valley or Slope
counties for several years yet. In the
meantime new railroad building may
change things around so that other lines
of division will be wanted.

BEACH PEOPLE ARE HAPPY
FIRE DESTROYS OLD DEPOT

Wednesday night fire destroyed the N.
P. depot building at Beach, and the
residents do not appear to feel badly
over the matter.
They expect now that the company
will erect handsome brick structure
that will more nearly meet the require
ments of the village than the old one.
In fact Div. Supt. 3. O. Johnson was in
Beach last week and was urged to use his
influence with the company to get new
depot. The fire has probably FASTENED
the matter.
