Wife of Old Settler
Answers Last Cali
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Mrs. G. A. Berg passed away today
at 2 D. M after lingering illness ex-
tending over period of about four
years. Her death, it is thought, was
the result of an injury received in a
runaway down the hill from the fair
grounds about four years ago. At
times her health has seemed improved
but for the most of the summer she
was attended by a trained nurse and
her death was not unexpected.
Mrs. Berg was member of the Old

was we'll we'll known and very highly
respected. Funeral arrangements

Town Springs Up
Ii Sixty Days

Fryburg, N. D., Sept. 24-Sixty days
ago there was not much more than {
spot on the prairie where now ha.
been started the new town Of Fry
burg, six miles west of Belfield, in
eastern Billings county. Now there
are several business institutions un
der headway there, and the fact that
the surrounding country is yielding a
twenty bushel crop of wheat this fall
gives promises that this new towr
will show a material growth yet this
year.
One Of the first ventures in this
town was the lumber yard establish
ed there by o. N. Dunham Of Bis
marck, whose yard there has a com
plete stock Of lumber, and an enclos.
ed lumber shed two stories, and 100
feet long. From this yard material is
being secured for the new buildings
of the town, and for many Of the new
farm buildings in this section.
The next enterprise was the First
State bank of Fryburg, which has
just completed it's new building, which
is a modern institution in every re-
spect. Though this bank was not or
ganized till June this year it's footings
reach nearly $4,000 and its deposits
are nearly $4,000.
Hon. A. L. Martin, the prominent
farmer and rancher at Sentinel Butte
is president, 0. N. Durham, the lum-
Der merchant of Bismarck is vice
president, while w. G. Watts, former
ly of the bank at Gladstone, is the
cashier.
The town is soon to have we'll
stocked general store, the building for
which is to be constructed Of concrete
blocks and is now under headway.
This store is to be owned by Cum
mings & Brandt, the latter being
former manager Of the Dickinson
Mercantile Co. This store will carry
a complete stock Of merchandise, and
will aid materially in drawing the
farmers to Fryburg.
Already this fall the Occident eleva-
tor here has marketed over 10000
bushels of wheat and there is large
amount OF the big crop here yet un-
threshed. Material is already on tn"
ground for another elevator that will
be rushed to completion here this fall.
and will be owned by the Fryburg
Grain & Trading Co.. of which A. J..
Martin is at the head. It is expected
that fully 10000 bushels of grain
will be marketed here this fall, but
these two large grain houses expect to
handle it easy.
A newspaper is also being establish.
ed here by w. P. Thurston Of Bis
,ldICh anu ljie MS AsSac VIII pouno
ly be published this week. The pa
per will be known as The Fryburg
Pioneer, and r. r. Cable will be the
local editor. Mr.. Gable and his wife
recently arrived here from Bismarck,
n. D.. and are getting the printing
plant arranged in the new building
Just completed
Several other new enterprises are
lnder headway here, and those who
have selected this new town as a
,lace for investment have great hopes
hat Frvburg will soon be trade cen
er Of Importance.
