returned home Tuesday from a
business trip to Plaza, N. D. They
met with royal reception at the
hands of friends in that locality and
give a glowing account of their trip.
Leaving here on Monday, the 22nd.
they arrived at Berthold, N. D., the
next day and were met there by w.
F. Deming in his auto, accompanied
by the deputy sheriff The auto
party left Berthold at 900 that eve
ming for the thirty-mile drive to
Plaza. The roads were the rough
est ever and the driver, so the
others aver, didn't miss a rock en-
route. They landed in Plaza at
1890 that evening. The next day
they left in two autos for Stanley,
N. D., a distance of forty miles,
VIM with one party and Reynolds
with the other. The latter party ar
rived and were given cordial well
come by Dennis Deneen, whom they
found hale and hearty. On the re-
turn trip to Plaza they met Dening
and VIM stalled in the road, their
machine having refused to go any
farther, and Jay was hard at work
irving to remedy its ills, which he
did temporarily by adjusting a tin
can to take the place of the disabled
part, and the remainder of the
Journey to Plaza was made without
any further mishap. On Thursday
an excursion party was arranged
for a trip to Elbowoods, an Indian
government station on the Missouri
river, about SO mtes from Plaza.
Among those in this party, driven in
six autos, were Mr.. and Mrs. H. M.
Emanuelson, Mr.. and Mrs. Bert T.
Legg, Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Oson, Mr..
and Mrs. Octor Torbinson, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. F. Deming and Mr.. and
Mrs. L. E. Under and Miss Rather
inc Wye, and Messrs. Reynolds and
VIM. The party visited the Indian
village and the Indian school and
then continued on to the ranch of
Henry Wederman, a squaw man,
where they spent couple of hours
while the squaw served coffee and
exhibited her fancy work. On
the trip back to Plaza Jays me-
chanical genius was again in de-
mand and while he was employed
with a balky car the rest of the
party engaged in foot races and an
Indian dance Fifteen miles furth-
er on the plotting car, driven by
Emanuelson, met with mishap,
when it went over the embankment
and plunged head foremost into the
creek. The occupants of the car,
Mr.. and Mrs. Emanuelson and Jay
VIM, were pretty we'll shaken up
but escaped unhurt At this time
a drenching rain was falling, and
after several unsuccessful attempts
to right the car it was abandoned
and Plaza was reached at three
O'Clock in the morning. On this
trip the party had travelled about
one hun dred and forty miles. A
rescue party returned in the after
noon and pulled the car to safety
and a Jubilee session was held in
honor of the rescue at midnight.
Saturday evening Mr.. Reynolds and
Mr.. Winn were guests of honor at a
party given at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. Torbinson. There were
about fifty guests in all and it was
one of the most enjoyable features
of the trip. Sunday the party
autoed about one hundred miles,
stopping at Ryder in the forenoon
and in the afternoon inspecting a
bridge which was built by an In
dian after the pattern of the great
Brooklyn bridge, and also getting
within sight of the Kildere noun
