MASON, As THE JUDGE
SENTENCES ANOTHER

A London dispatch says: Frederick
Henry Seddons. the first Mason ever
sentenced to death in England by a
brother Mason, so far as known, was
hanged on the gallows of Petonsville
prison April 18th.
Seddons employed every means in the
ritual to escape death. When he was
brought into court for sentence, after
an eloquent speech declaring his inno-
cence, he raised his hand in secret
Masonic sign and exclaimed: Before
the Great Architect of the universe,
solemnly swear my innocence
Justice Bucknill, grand master
Mason. in Dronouncing sentence, was
deeply moved and in concluding said
''You and know that we both belong
to one brotherhood. But that brother.
hood condemns chine. pray you to
make your peace with the Great Archi-
tect of the universe.
Seddons and his wife were tried
jointly for the murder of Miss Eliza
Barrows. who lived with them, and who
died of arsenic poisoning. Al the time
of her death Seddons had in his posses
sion several thousand dollars belonging
to the woman. His wife was acquitted.

MRS. PELT0N
TAKES LIFE
Sends Bullet Through Her Head.
Had Been III. No Other
Cause Known. Funeral
In Dickinson.

The mortal remains OF Mrs. Sam
Pelton were brought in from her home
near Bailey on Wednesday evening and
interment was made Thursday afternoon
in the Dickinson cemetery. Rev. A. C.
Hacke conducted the last rites from
the H. J. Gruschus home.
The story of Mrs. Pelton's untimely
and sudden death is a sad one. She
had been in poor health for some little
time and on Sunday the physician from
Manning visited the home. On Tuesday
morning at o. clock. while the house
was quiet and everybody asleep
she shot herself in the forehead
with 1920 Colts revolver. She rose
from her bed, procured the revol-
yer and went into another room. where
she committed the deed which brought
her face to face with her creator. Part
of the bullet passed through into the
brain and another part pierced the
skull and was found on the bed. She
lived in an unconscious condition for
about six hours.
There seems to be no real cause for
the deed, unless she became melan-
choly over her illness. Mrs. Pelton had
always been happy on the farm with
her husband and two children. little
son six years old and daughter four
years of age, whom she leaves behind.
Sophia Beuhner was born in Germany
81 years ago. and came to Dunn county
with her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Beuhner. in 1900. She was a sister of
Otto Beuhner, formerly in the meat
business in Dickinson. She was mar
ried to Mr.. Pelton about seven years
ago. Their farm is near Bailey post
Office, 20 miles from Manning. A
brother. VIM. Pelton, also farms in the
same neighborhood and Mrs. Pelton's
folks reside in that vicinity.
! Much sympathy is extended to the be-
reaved husband, the little children and
other relatives of the deceased woman.

IT WILL BE White way
8 BLOCKS IN DICKINSON

1t is practically settled that Dickin-
son Is to have the white Way" sys-
tenn of lighting for nine blocks in Dick
inson. Every property owner in the dis
trict affected. with the exception of one
or two parties absent from the city, has
signed up and the matter will be taken
before the council next Monday night,
The move is unanimously approved and
without question will receive the hearty
approval of the mayor and aldermen.
All the council has to do is to approve
the matter and issue the necessary i'm
proved warrants. it not being necessary
to bond. The debt can be carried over
period of ten years. the property own
ers having a chance, of course, to pay
up in full if any so desire.
The petitions as signed up include the
six blocks on Willard street, three blocks
east and west of the intersection of
Sims street, or from the Walton Davis
Co. corner east to the Heaton Lumber
Co. corner west. Three side streets
north from Willard street are to have
the improvement, namely: First Ave.
E. past the opera house, Sims and First
Ave. W. to the Elk corner. On first
street north the "White Way will ex-
tend one block east of Sims street
and west of Sims two blocks, or to
the Frank Lish residence.
On Willard street the side walks are
to be widened to 14A feet and on Sims
and First Ave. W. the walks are also to
be widened. Cutters will be put in and
everything left in shape for paving
when it is wanted. Il is expected that
the Northern Pacific will help the good
work along by putting in a few lamp
posts. Hughes & Deiters have offered
to put in two lights, and the Mandan
Mercantile Co. and the Heaton Lumber
Co. will also help to light their terri
tory. Of course the city furnishes cur
rent as soon as the posts and fixtures
are installed. It is claimed that the
Cost OI the IOur posts to the block as
planned will not cost as much as the
present system Of arc lights. On the
side streets, Sims and First Ave. w.,
there will in reality be eight posts,
four one either side of the street.
The new system of lighting will do
away with the electric light poles and
wires down Willard street and in this
way will be great convenience as
well as being much, more slightly along
the streets.
Work will be started at once so as to
have the city properly lighted when the
State Merchants Association convent ion
is held here on the 9th, 10th and 18th
of July.

LITTLE AND VAllANcEY
SELL LARGE TRACT OF LAND

Recently F. A. Little and Tom VAL
lancey sold large tract of land in Bill
lings county north of Beach. They sold
sections !. 3. 9. II and half of in
township 142-49. the purchaser of three
and a half sections being J. B. Barlow
of Ripon, Wis. The balance was sold
to settlers who were anxious to increase
their holdings. The land is some dis
tance from the railroad but it is good
agricultural stuff. A part Of the land
sold at SIS per acre and about half at
$22.
Mi. Little was in Billings again this
week where he had another sale about
closed.

REGULARS WON BALL GAME
co. K MADE FAIR SHOWING

The first ball game of the season was
attended by a fair crowd on Sunday.
1t was little cold and those who did
not have their extra wraps were just
little uncomfortable before the close of
the game.
Dickinson people are very loyal to the
home players but on this occasion the
crowd appeared to favor company X
members who were matched against
the regulars. 1t had been advertised
that Nelson of Glen Ullin would pitch
for the militia boys, and it was great
disappointment that he was too i'll to
60 into the box.
Co. X started in we'll, taking two
scores to one for the regulars, and in
the second they took as many more and
whitewashed their opponents. This.
however. was the last of their scoring.
The regulars took one in the third and
warmed up for four tallies in the fifth.
Then came the unlucky eigth in which
they took six runs, rounding out twelve
to four against X.
Fink pitched we'll for 70. X and would
have held the big fellows down to
smaller score if he had had stronger
support. Lish was hurt in the fourth
and his place was taken by Peck. st.
John of the St. Charlie splayed the finish
in the left field. Mcbride did some good
fielding, and he always does. Freeman
was good, making clean singles. Davis
pitched eight innings and was in
his usual good form. He struck out six
men. Fink struck ont three men. Beck
er. the cigar-maker played fine game
as catcher for the regulars. He is
new man and it looks as though Mama
ger Nottingham had secured strong
player in the gentleman. Taylor is also
a new player here and is said to be a
good pitcher but he was only in the box
for one inning.
The regulars have some good timber
this year and will be able to make a
good showing in the seasons games.

FURTHER FACTS CONCERNING
HENRY BAUMeARTHER's LIFE

Last week we chronicled the sudden
death of Henry M. Baumgartner Of
Richardton at the local hospital and our
readers will be interested in the added
facts concerning the life of this respec-
ted citizen.
Mr.. Baumgartner was born in Hunt
gary on the 18th of February, l849. He
came to Cleveland. Ohio. in 1895, where
he lived for three years before coming
to Richardton.
He is survived by wife and six
children; Mrs. Lena Schmitzer of New
York, Henry of New York, ..Tillie Baum
gartner of Billings. Mont, and Max,
John and Anna of Richardton. Deceas-
ed was a carpenter by trade and while
at work last fall he fell off ladder and
broke his arm. It was set by John
Brown. who lives south Of town and
who is pretty skillfuI in such things.
However. he never reeained the proper
use of the arm and he was sick the
greater part of the winter.
On April 23rd he came to Dickinson
to attend to some business matters and
consulted a doctor. who found that his
shoulder was badly dislocated and he
was taken to the hospital for an opera
tion, where he died. Funeral services
were held from St. Mary's church at
Richardton on April 18th, and burial
was made in the Catholic cemetery.

WITH GRAIN co.
IN STARK ON MAY 9Th

On May 9th the county commissioners
will be in session to settle with the Oc-
cident Elevator Co. and to attend TO
other matters such as opening bridge
bids, etc. It will be q little interest
ing to know how the board comes out
with the elevator company which has
just delivered about 80. 900 bushels of
wheat and 20, 900 bushels ..of oats to the
farmers of Stark county. The contract
with the aforesaid company specifies
good seed wheat, but it does not state
of what terminating power the seed
must be. 1t is understood that one
sample sent to the agricultural college
tested less than 80 per cent of germi-
mating power. while the other samples
were very much better. From all infor-
nation obtainable it seems that this
has been an unusually hard spring to
get good seed.
AS an example of this, one farmer
in the southern part of Stark county
thought ST. 19 per bushel too high for
seed grain and he asked Auditor
Hughes to cancel his contract. The
party attended sale of seed grain and
much to his surprise the price was run
up 10 ST. IS and the farmer hurried
back to Dickinson and was very much
relieved when he found that he could
still be included for the amount of his
original contract. A farmer living
north of the city thought he would not
pay 81 cents for seed oats, but when he
found that the market price was 70
cents he was very glad to get the
county seed.
Auditor j. L. Hughes has certainly
taken firm stand for the farmers and
has been to a great deal of extra work
on account of the grain contracts. and
his work is not finished yet, for there
will be all the collections to guard and
make in the fall. The commissioners
have stood by Mr.. Hughes and given
him what assistance they could.
Some of the PRESS readers may have
forgotten that the county board only ad-
ded cent per bushel for handling the
/ seed grain business, while other coun-
ties, in some instances, thought it
necessary to add cents per busheL. The
business has been economically handled
in Stark county and the cost will prob
ably be considerably below the amount
added to the cost of the grain. How
ever. all that is saved in handling will
be credited on the contracts, 60 that
each farmer will have every cent that
belongs to him in the transaction.
There is also. the matter of freight that
it is expected the Northern Pacific will
rebate. The rebate on oats will likely
amount to 10 to II cents per bushel.
The wheat was purchased within the
state and it is not just certain what the
railway company will do on this. Some
say they do not rebate freight on seed
grain purchased within the state. Il
would not amount to great deal any
way.

Local Odd Fellows were commemora-
ting the 92nd anniversary of their order
at Odd Fellows hall on Tuesday even
ing. A goodly number of the members
were. present with their wives and
sweethearts and the Rebekah lodge was
also we'll represented.
The program consisted of prayer by
Rev. J. S. Braytield. addresses by Odd
Fellows. Thos. H. Pueh and W. F.
Blume and solos by Welland Orchard.
Mr.. Orchard in his usual rich baritone
voice was we'll received. He sang
Goodbye" by Tolsti and Where to
Build Your Castles by Carrie Jacob
Bond. He was accompanied on the
piano by Miss Maraeert Stewart.
Allan Harleman, noble grand of the
local body, acted as chairman. telling of
the strength of the order and why they
are proud 10 commemorate their ami
versary.
Thos. Pugh told how the order grew
from the five members who organized it
in Baltimore ninety-three years ago to
the two million it has today. The
principles of Odd Fellowship, he said.
were not born of the order but belonged
to the man long before he became a
member. He spoke of the great frater-
nal spirit of this body and one of their
sacred VOWS is to bury the dead. care
for the sick and shelter the orphans.
Odd Fellows maintain orphan homes in
almost every state in the union and
some of the eastern states have several
of these homes.
w. F. Blume also spoke of the found
ing of the order in America by Thos.
Wilde and the noble principles it
stands for. II forbids intemperance or
excesses of any kind among its members
and promotes all that is good in man.
Where bad is, MIR. Blume said, there is
not room for good and vice versa. Odd
fellowship also teaches the principle of
being true to ones self, which is sure
to be followed by truth and upriehtness
in all our dealings with mankind.
After the exercises closed Miss Hazel
Aultman. Elliott Freeman. Mrs. Jessen
and Mrs. Messersmith furnished splen-
did music for all who cared to dance,
and the older folks enjoyed cards at
several tables. About midnight a
splendid supper was served and the Odd
Fellows werevoted hosts and entertain

Far more interesting than fiction are
some of the incidents and experiences
in connection with the early history Of
our state. This early history. for the
most part, is struggle between the
Indians and white men, the former
lighting strenuously to maintain the
possession of their hunting grounds
and hitherto undisputed domain. while
the whites sought to subdue them and
open the country for settlement and
civilization.
The PRESS has at different times
published articles relating to some in
cident of the early history of North Da-
kota, for which we have been greatly
indebted to Curator Fish of the state
historical society. Mr.. Fish is working
earnestly to compile a history of the
state that will be complete and accur-
ate and it is often difficult 10 secure the
necessary data for which he has to de-
pend, in good many cases. on diaries
and memories of those who participated
in the early struggles or shared the
hardships of the poineer days.
The year 1864 is an important one in
our history. In this year were the MEN,
orable frontier marches of General
Sully. Capt. Fiske and others and in
this year was fought the greatest bat
tie in the history of the state-''The
Battle of the Kildeer Mountains This
took place on July 2sth, 1864. on what
is now the Diamond C and Ross ranches
near the Kildeers. A. T. Crowl of this
city. c. C.. Campbell of Sentinel Butte
and l. Conklin, father of Mrs. Ross of
Oakdale. took part in this fight under
Gen. Sully and have furnished Mr.. Fish
with much information as to the de-
tails.
Gen. Sully and his men left Sioux
City. Iowa on May 31st and establish
ed Fort Rice July 9th, which was about
IS miles below where Mandan now
stands and ten miles north of the mouth
of the Cannon Ball. From this place
they proceeded west to the Indian
stamping grounds and on July 25th the
whole army corraled the extra horses
and teams of 80 immigrant families al
place on Heart river south of where
Antelope is now located. On the follow
ina day they took nine days. rationt
for a rapid march into the lndiar
country and on the 10Th the scouts re

The Dickinson Elk building commit
tee are getting matters into shape for
starting work on the new building
about the first of June.
The basement was put in last fall
and covered and is already for the SUI
perstructure as soon as the contract is
let.
AS has been stated this new Elk home
will be the best in North Dakota and
will cost around $50. 900. The accom-
cut gives good Likeness of the
exterior of the building which is to be
