A. M. Trauernicht, who has
been joint agent for the Iron
Mountain and Bonnie Terre road
at Riverside for a number of
years, has resigned his position to
accept the place of yardmaster
and agent for the Bonnie Terre
road at Rivermines.

pair and improve the American

The Ladies' Social Club closed
their years work with a social
afternoon with Mrs. I. R. Crow.
Mrs. Hanson won the prize in the
guessing game, Mrs. York gave a
reading and the hostess served
delicious refreshments. The club
passed their first year tn a very
pleasant and profitable manner.
VIM. Matsler, who owns what is
known as the Pruitt place east of
town, and through which passes
the road to Arcadia Heights, one
day last week fenced up the road.
1t seems that a former owner
of the property decided a roadway
to the Baptist folk but that in
strument was never put on rec
ord.
There is war between the local
and Bell telephone companies at
Bismarck. 1t seems that the To-
cal phone has been making a
charge of ten cents extra for all
long distance calls. The Bell peo-
pie made a protest but the local
company would not adjust the
matter satisfactorily. So the Bell
company is now engaged putting
in a local exchange at Bismarck
and it is said has the cooperation
of most of the business men.
James Butler, who was shot by
Drew Pitts, near Bixby, on the
afternoon of May 18th, died the
following day. AS told in the
REGISTER last week, Pitts shot
and instantly killed Buffers
daughter, and seriously injured
her father, but news of the latter's
death was not received here until
the middle of the week. Pitts and
his 18-year-old son, Jonah, are in
Jail here and will be given a pre-
liminary examination before
Squire Rasche next Saturday.

About three weeks ago L. A.
Mckee took up a couple of mules
at his farm, west of Ironton. A
week ago last Sunday Hute
Brown, who lives in Reynolds
county, identified the mules as his
property, and started home with
them-thirty miles away. The
following Wednesday morning
they put in their appearance at
the Mckee place again, jumped
the fence and seemed to be per.
fectly at home once more. Moth
ing has been heard from Brown
since he left for home with the
mules, but if he took them all the
way home, the animals made
good time getting back to Iron
county once more.
Arcadia College shares in the
grief of Mr.. and Mrs. w. R.
Rogers, of Rochester, New York,
in the death of their beloved niece,
Marian Belle Search. Having en-
tered the college as a wee one, she
grew in the affection of all and
was graduated nJune, 1907. Full
of life and the bright gaiety of
youth she possessed the charming
grace and childlike piety of a true
child of Mary, and she will ever
be remembered at the shrine of
that dear Mother. After her grad
uation she spent two years at her
uncle's home in New York, but as
her strength failed, her yearning
to return to her Alma Mater in
creased. It was like the Joy of a
child returning home when she
was greeted by the Religious and
students three weeks ago. God
called her to Himself almost sud-
denly, or May 18th, for heart fail
