THEIR F|fTY-TH|RD.
WEDD|NCANN|VERSARY
MR.. AND MRS. E. J. BROWN OF
KENMARE HAVE TRAVELLED
LIFE's PATHWAY TOGETHER
FOR MORE THAN HALF A CEN.
TURy.

f. J. Brown, one of Kenmare's
staunchest citizens, visited Minot
Tuesday. He dropped into our sane
tum and explained that he hadn't thot
of the circus until he arrived in the
city, but we'll reserve our opinion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown celebrated their
53rd wedding anniversary last month
and their journey down life's pathway
together has been showered with
many blessings: Both are enjoying
the best of health, have seldom been
compelled to confer with the family
physician, and E.eJ. says that good
clear conscience on his part, at least,
is the cause of his ruddy appearance
at "a. His wife is one year his jun
ior. The Browns were married at
Batavia, Ill. A year later Mr.. Brown
went to war with three brothers and
while they all returned, Mr.. Brown is
the only one of the four who is now
living. He went west to Grinnell, Ia,
with two cars of sheep valued at $500
and traded them for GAO acres Of
land six niles from that town. In
1870 he sold the land for $17 an acre
and thot he was getting good price.
The land is now valued at 1926 an
acre. Mr.. Brown went to the state
of New York then and engaged in the
hotel business. For thirty years he
was in that business, conducting six
hotels at one time. The Worlds Fair
at Chicago proved his nudoing finan-
cially for the time being. He built a
700 room hotel and dropped $4,000
in a few months. You can't keep a
good man down. He located in Min
neapolis and engaged in the cider and
vinegar business, making splendid
success. About twelve years ago he
located at Kenmare, where he has
amassed a snug little fortune. 1t is
a pleasure to meet such folks as our
friend, E. J. Brown and his better
half.

Lloyd Otrey at Rest.

The funeral of Lloyd Raymond Ot-
rey, the eleven-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. j. B. Otrey, who was drown
ed in Mouse river Friday, was held
from the family home near Sunnyside
school Sunday afternoon. Rev. Il. A.
Olson preached comforting sermon.
The remains were inferred in the
Lutheran cemetery on the north side,
beside those Of baby brother who
died shortly after the Otreys came to
this state twelve years ago. The pail
bearers were members Of Lloyd's Sun
day school class. The floral tributes
were very beautiful and included Of
ferings from the Sunday school, the
League and others. Lloyd is survived
by his parents and three sisters, aged
II, 10 and years.
Mr.. Otrey's mother arrived from
Ortonville, Mimi, to attend the funer-
al but became i'll on the journey and
was bedfast upon her arrival here.

BEGAN IN funk
MURDER CASE
MRS. FUNK, WIFE OF DEAD
WASHBURN BANKER, TELLS
OF TRAGEDY.

The case of the state VS.. Anderson
is being tried at Washburn this week.
Anderson is accused of the murder of
Funk, the Washburn banker. Mrs.
Funk told the story Of the shooting.
She said her husband had come home
to supper and was on the back porch
when she heard loud report. Her
husband grasped her by the hand and
said he had been shot, dying soon at
forwards. She looked toward the An
derson residence, 80 feet away, but
saw no one. The hired girl also tes-
titled that she heard a loud report.
The bullet could not therefore have
been fired from long distance.
One Of the most important of the
states witnesses was former state
Engineer Atkinson of Bismarck, who
had drawn plans of the two homes.
The state is trying to prove that the
course of the bullet showed that it
had come from the window of the
Anderson home.

FIRST WORK
STARTS ON
THE PAVING
TEAMS START AT WORK ON
SOUTH MAIN STREET MONDAY
FLOWING UP DIRT AND HAUL.
ING IT AWAY-WORK WILL BE
PUSHED TO COMPLETION.

Burtch & Sons Construction Co., of
Fargo began it's first work Monday
afternoon on the Minot paving. The
first actual work done was the blowing
up of Main street between Second and
Third streets, with six big horses. It
is necessary to take off from one to
two feet of the dirt, after which grav-
el will be hauled in and tamped down,
ready for the creosoted blocks with
which the streets will be paved.
Several pictures were taken of the
men and teams at work, for this marks
an epoch in the history of Minot. Pres
ident Davis was right on hand and
threw the first shovel of dirt into the
wagon, and he stayed on the job for
nearly an hour. 1t was worth the
price of admission to see Mr.. Davis
work, and he's no SLOUGH with shov-
ell, either.
Main street will be torn up for
few months, but it is expected that
the blocks will be in place within two
months. Material is on the way and
not day will be lost.

DERED AT BOHEMIAN HALL
SATURDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED
BY SUPPER AND BALL.

movement. The subject was ably dis
cussed by 0. R. Brown, Jos. Linnertz,
Mr.. Webber and Col. Hecht. The
farmers showed that the had given
the subject considerable attention and
some practical suggestions were made.
They all seemed to favor dragging the
roads, but think that change in the
system will have to be made. Mr..
Brown declared most emphatically
that the time had come when road
building would have to be done with
men who were paid for doing it and
then they would be hunting up the
bosses instead OF the road bosses
hunting up the men. The subject is
timely and the discussion will result
in much good.
The program opened with selec-
ton BY the West Eureka orchestra.
Miss REM gave an interesting reading
and Mrs. Trumble sang selection
that was appreciated. The question
Of woman's rights was ably discussed
BY RMS. Webber and Mrs. Kelley, the
former taking the affirmative and the
latter the negative. Honors were
about even. Helen Monigan and Mel
va Estlick each gave reading and
the Misses Julis and Mary Susak
sang. The program closed with q
pleasing duet by the Misses Trum-
BE. North Prairie has some excel
lent talent.

The Next Mayor.

On his deathbed, DR.. Jones ex-
pressed a preference as to whom
he hoped the people would elect
as his successor for mayor. That
man is Will Hartley. DR.. Jones
said there was one man in the
town who knew of his plans for
the betterment of the city and
the people in it, and he said that
man knew of his plans, and how
he expected to carry them out.
He said Will Hartley was the
man.,
: Will Hartley knows more of
city affairs than any other man
in the city. He would make a
good mayor, and would carry out
to the best of his ability all plans
looking to the welfare of the city
and its people. He will be elect
ed without opposition. In fact
it would be shameful, in light of
the circumstances, to make the
selection of Will Hartley for
mayor anything but unanimous.

Facts and Figures.

Cost of giving rural service al
the Baxter Office of the Baxter
Telephone Company.
From keeping careful tally we
find that one-eighth of our total
calls are rural Calls, that is,
either calls for rural lines from
our subscribers, or parties on ru-
raj lines calling subscribers.
This shows that the cost to us
of giving rural service is one
eighth the cost of handling our
entire number of calls.
In the year 1912 the cost of
handling all calls was 50, ,14S. IS.
One-eighth of this being s393.5S
is the cost to us Of handling the
rural calls for the year.
For this service, which we
have been donating to the Mutual
people, since they have been con-
nected with us, we have never
received one cent from any men,
Der of any Mutual company.
