Getting Them in Bunches

Frank Hallstrom, son of County Com
missioner Hallstrom, looked out from
the farm home one day last week and
saw large flock of white brant
--alight in field near the home. He
got on his bicycle and rode to promi-
nent hill where he could take observa-
tons and saw that the birds were gath
cred in small pond in the field. With
all the instincts and desires of a boy
hunter he went back to the farm and
got his pump gun and started to make
sneak upon the flock. Was he sue
cessful? We have heard many conflict
ing stories-some, we presume, wishing
to protect him from the game warden,
and others wishing to elaborate upon
his craftsmanship. The smallest num-
Der we heard he gathered up for the
six shots he fired from his Winchester

Mrs. Weller Dead.

Died-Mrs. Mary L. Weller, at the
home of her son George E. Weller, in
this city, Friday, March II, 1911, of
heart disease.
Mary l.. Raymond was born in Cort-
landt, N. Y, May 25, 1S41. She came
west and located in Wisconsin, and on
January 81, 1876, she was united in
marriage to S. t. Weller. To this union
one child was born, Geo. E. Weller,
who resides in this city. Mrs. Weller
came to this city little over a year
ago about Christmas time and has since
made her home here, and during that
time has made great many friends
who will deeply sympathize with her
son and family in her demise. Mrs.
Weller had the grip twice during the
present winter and was attacked with
heart disease short time ago, and on
Friday, March IL. passed away. The
funeral was held fro m the family resi-

Lewis preaching very appropriate
and touching sermon. Interment was
made in the Webster cemetery.
Besides the son, George, in this city,
the deceased leaves brother, L. H.
Raymond, of Orr, N. d., and host of
friends to mourn her loss.

A Business Change

A business change was made in w eb-
ster during the past week, whe reby
Andrew Ditmanson purchased his bro
Their, Martins, interest in the coal and
grain business end will conduct the
same in the future.
Martin and Henry Ditmanson departed
Monday for Alberta, Canada, where,
we are informed, they will take up
claims and expect to make their future
homes. We are very sorry to lose
these two gentlemen, as they have
always been exemplary citizens and
will be greatly missed from Webster
should they decide to move to our Sis
ter country on the north.
The business change will make no diff
ference in Webster, for Andrew will
continue the same line of square deal
ing, good goods and honest weights
which have always characterized the
firm of Ditmanson Brothers since its
establishment several years ago. We
wish all of the boys the best possible
success and in that wish we know we
speak for the majority of Day county
people.

A Pleasant Event

There was social meeting of the
Women's Wednesday club at the home
of Mrs. l.. G. Ochsenreiter on Friday,
March II. The hostess was assisted by
Mrs. Martin Crowley, and both were
becomingly dressed as Irish country
girls in emerald green and white, and
each guest was met at the door with a
warm Irish greeting. The house dec
Grated with green everywhere and
white flowers, delightfully."- suggested
spring as well as time-honored st. Pat.
rick and the Emerald Isle.
A dish of greens was served early
from a lovely green bowl. This proved
to be only an appetizer. Next came a
guessing contest in which every answer
had the word green, and Mrs. Albert
Smith won the prize-a dainty green
and white bag. Later tea was served
from small tables. The color scheme
was attractively carried out in the
candies, cakes, ice cream, and even the
china.

AUTO FRIGHTENS TEAM
FIVE CHELSEA PEOPLE ARE
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
HAS BOTH LEGS BROKEN.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Reig-
err Seriously Injured, and it is
Feared That the Latter May
not Recover. Team was
Frightened by an Auto.

While driving in three-seated spring
wagon behind slow team at o'clock
Sunday afternoon to attend the funeral
of Mrs. John Weiderhaupt at the Wei
derhaupt home two miles north of Chel-
sea, in Faux county, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
J. Reiger, Mrs. S. A. Coulter, Mrs. H.
l.. Rigness and Howard Africa, all of
Chelsea, met with various injuries by
jumping from the rig when their horses
started to run, frightened by passing
auto driven at high rate of speed by
Kennel Batteen, also of Chelsea.
Those who saw the accident state
that the horses started to run when
within quarter of a mile of the Wei
derhaupt home. Reiger, who was driv-
ing, evidently saw that he could not
control the team with the reins, and
jumped from the rig with the intention
of Selling the brutes by the bits, but he
was thrown aside, and the rest of the
party, fearing that the buggy would
topple over the grade, jumped from the.
rig while the team was running at ter
rife speed. Not one OF the party
escaped injury. Mrs. Reiger had both
legs broken at the ankles, Mr.. Reiger
had one leg and rib broken and it is
feared that he is injured internally,
Mrs. Rigness and Howard Africa each
sustained sprained ankle, and Mrs.
Coulter received serious injuries about
the head and body.
Reiger was picked up some distance
behind any of the others. Batteen
drove his machine along the the road
and loaded the injured iu and took them
to Chelsea, with the exception of Mrs.
Reiger, whose injuries were such that
it was necessary to carry her home on
stretcher. They were all taken to
their respective homes and Doctors
Rock, of Aberdeen, and Sampson and
Miller, of Mellette, were called. The
latest reports state that Mrs. Reiger is
resting easily, but the physicians fear
that Mr.. Reiger's injuries are more
serious than was at first anticipated.
The place where the team took fright
was on a steep grade, and it was this
which induced the occupants of the rig
to leap. The automobile which fright
ened the team was running at a high
rate of speed, and Mr.. Batteen, who
was driving the machine, admits he
was speeding.

tory i'm this part of the State

At special meeting of the directors
of the Northwestern Life Insurance
company Tuesday evening, Senator
George w. Wright, of Huron, was
elected second vice president and Alvin
w. Price, of Athol, third vice presi-
dent. First Vice President F. w. Webb,
of Hitchcock, was also present from out
of the city, while the local directors,
Messrs. Bryant, Hutson, Rock and SUIT
tie were all present.
The new men will become actively
associated with the company in devel-
oping line of business which promises
to make the local company the big one
of the state
Mr.. Wright is especially well versed
upon insurance matters, as was demon
strated blythe fact that he was appointed
chairman of the senate committee on
insurance at the legislative session and
he did meritorious work in that capa-
city. He will have charge of the affairs
of the company in the south half of the
state. Mr.. Price has recently sold an
interest in his mercantile business to
managing partner and will now devote
his entire time to the company's affairs.
These gentlemen are eminently fitted
for their respective positions and
great boom is looked for in the local
company's business.
The aggressive policy of the present
company is making good. 1t is proving
itself and the people Of Aberdeen will
do well to realize this fact.

Gets Six Months

DR.. r. w. Appelman, formerly of
this place, has been sentenced to six
months Imprisonment and is now serv-
ing his sentence in the Jail at Redfeld,
this state. Much sympathy is being
expressed for DR.. Appleman both by
his medical colleagues and by the peo-
pie who became acquainted with him
while he was here. In the commission
of his crime he was not actuated by any
base or greedy motive; he simply allowed
his sympathies to overcome his sense of
self preservation while listening to an
appeal that is made almost daily to
every man who practices medicine. Had
the doctor been cold hearted and cold
blooded, he would be at liberty today.
AS he did not commit the crime for
money, and erred more through lack of
experience than anything else, we do
not think that sympathy is misplaced IN
his case. The crime was that of abor-
ton. Gazette.

Tale of a Quilt.

The ladies of the Royal Neighbors
made one of the finest quilts that has
ever been seen in Webster, and then
they took particular pains to see that
nearly every man in Webster had a
number upon it, and, to offer further
inducement, on Tuesday evening they
held open house in the Kading hall and
served splendid lunch to which all
were invited and small admission fee
was charged. The attendance was
large, the crowd happy and congenial,
and when the receipts were counted the
lodge was over thirty-five dollars to the
good.
Of course you could not guess who
was the lucky man, but we will not
keep it secret-it was Anton Karpen.
And they say that the quilt appealed
to him SO greatly that it has taken the
whole family to get him out of bed in
the morning ever since the drawing.

ARE IN GREAT DEMAND
MAN WELL CARS PROVING
VERY POPULAR.
WILL STAND HARD SERVICE
Day County Owners of Maxwell
Cars are Unanimous in Ex-
pressing Their Satisfaction
With the Velia bility and
Quality of the Maxwell.


Owing to the splendid value and large
specifications in 1911 Maxwell cars the
dealers have been able to get delivery
from the factory of only small per-
centage of the number that they have
orders for, and others that they could
have sold if delivery would have been
made.
The Day County Auto & Supply Co.
has sold six Maxwell cars this spring
and have been able to make delivery of
four of this number, the last one being
delivered on Monday of this week to
Mr.. John Swanson, Sr., of Roslyn.
The model | fore door, 30-horse
power Maxwell at $3.50 is one of the
best propositions on the market today.
The Day County Auto Co. sold one of
these models this week to Ole Haugen,
but could not make delivery and Knott
Bros, of Bristol, were kind enough to
let the Day Caunty Auto & Supply Co.
have their machine so the sale was not
lost. The Day County Auto Co. received
one more of these $3.50 models this week
and therefore were able to return the
car to Knott Bros.
Three carloads of machines were
received by the Day County Auto &
Supply Co. The loads were made up of
three 40-horsepower Coles, four Hup-
mobiles and two Maxwells, and prac-
tically all of these cars will be delivered
this week. The company has another
carload of Cole machines enroute from
the factory, and Mr.. Henry Gilbertson
has consented to wait for his car until
the next load arrives in order to give
the auto company Cole demonstrating
car out of the load received this week.
The company was able to make deliv-
cry this week Of the following cars out
of their Webster stock Two Max
wells, two Coles and two Hupmobiles.
They also sold and delivered a Buick
touring car which they had in stock to
w. A. Day, of Bradley.

some seeding, some blowing. We were

Day county people as a general rule
have been very friendly to Burke and
Martin during all the years these gem

the present prompt action and demand
for the satisfaction of the desires of
the people of all parts of the county
shows that the congressman have not
forgotten, but are availing themselves
of every opportunity to show their
appreciation.
The postmasters of the towns from
which the new routes are to be extend

it is due to their recommendations
accompanying the petitions that the
new routes are to be established.
