CARD OF THANKS

To the friends who came to US in
our hour of trouble, and contributed
all that human kindness could sug-
gest, to help and comfort, we return
most heartfelt thanks, and although
such devoted friendship cannot re-
move the sad memories that linger,
it brings into view the brightest side
of humanity, and throws the pure
light Of an unselfish friendship into
a darkened home. May the day be
far distant when those friends who
gathered around US will need similar
attention, but when the times comes
may they receive the same full meas
ure Of generous aid and tender SYM
nathv they brought to our home when
death was an inmate there.

THE CITY WILL
CUT THE WEEDS
NOTICES BEING SERVED TO
THAT EFFECT ON PROPERTY
OWNERS

If people who own property about
the city do not cut the weeks growing
thereon this week the city will do the
lob and charge it to the property.
Notices to this effect have been serv-
ed upon property holders by the su-
perintendent of streets.
There are many vacant lots about
the city covered with tall weeds, which
will scatter millions of seeds in a few
weeks il they are not destroyed. Also
there are many places about the city
where persons living in houses have
allowed the weeds to grow unmolest-
ed. A small amount Of work on the
part of the owner of the property, or
the occupant of the house, will result
in a vast change in the general ap-
pearance of the city and it should be
a matter of civic pride to see that
the orders of the officials are complied
with.

ENGINEER HINES
KILLED SUNDAY
WRECK NEAR THIS CITY COST
LIFE OF ONE OF THE CREW
OTHERS JUMPED

Engineer, Mike Hines, of Minot,
was killed instantly Sunday evening
at Avoca, few miles east of this
city, when his engine ran into the
rear of a work train and turned over.
The fireman on the train and other
members of the crew saw the inpend-
ing disaster in time to jump and none
of them were injured.
It appears that there were two sec
tions Of work train hauling gravel,
and the forward train stopped for
something, and forgot to send back
signalman. The rear section, with
Hines at the throttle came upon them.
and was unable to stop in time, al
though the reports are that Hines
train was not running very fast.
The fireman said that he saw the
train standing in their path and call
ed to Hines to jump, and that he
would have had time to save him.
self, but for some reason did not pay
any attention to the warning. The
engine was thrown from the track
and turned over on the side, and he
was caught in the wreckage. He was
badly crushed.
A number of cars were thrown from
the track and badly broken up. Traf-
fic over the road was delayed for sew
eral hours while the wreckage was
being cleared away and a new track
put in place.
The remains of the dead engineer
were brought to Williston, and were
taken to Corning Iowa, where he has
a sister living. ',.
Hines was one of the best known
railroad men in this section, having
been running through this section for
about twelve years.

Thomas Allen, of Schafer, who was
confined in the Williams county Jail
for the past few months charged with
the murder of Brownie Emery, was
adiudged insane by jury at Minot.

Windell and Carlos S. Jones OF Will
liston.
The physicians had made thor
ough examination OF Allen and their
testimony was practically the same
They stated that he is suffering from
Paranoia, a disease conductive of the
strange hallucinations. 1t was brought
out that at times Allen conducted
himself in a perfectly rational man
ner but at others he was dangerously
insane.

YOUNG WIFE
PASSED AWAY
MRS. JOS. DONOHUE SUCCUMBS
TO ATTACK OF TYPHOID
ILL SIX WEEKS

The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Joseph M. Donohue, which oc-
cured last Thursday night, came as a
shock to the entire community.
Although she had been i'll with
typhoid for about six weeks, she was,
on the day just previous to her death,
reported to be somewhat better and on
the road to recovery This report
was a source of much relief to the
many friends and to the near rela-
tives, who, however, were much shock
ed to hear of her sudden demise
Mayme E. Shea was daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Shea, of this
city, and was born on September ~,
1891, and was therefore past twenty
one years old at the time OF her
death.
Is A little more than six months ago,
January 7, 1918, she was united in
marriage to Joseph M. Donohue, also
of this city, and the sincere sympathy
of many friends is extended to the
bereaved husband who is called upon
to undergo this great sorrow after a
few months of happy welded life.
Much has been taken from the hus-
band and from the sisters, brother,
mother and father and large circle
of friends, but the fadeles: memories
of her Christian life are theirs.
Following the attack of typhoid
fever a few weeks ago all that skill
ed physicians, loving hands and an
anxious household, could devise and
apply for her comfort and assistance
were brought into play, but all OF no
avail, and the end came peacefully at
10 o'clock p. m., Thursday evening.
Near relatives surviving besides
the husband are, father ard mother,
Mr.. anil Mrs. Thomas Shea; three sis.
ters, Bridgie, Katie and Maggie, and
one brother, Willie, all of this city.
Mrs. Donohue was member of St.
Josephs Catholic church, from which
the last services were held On Sunday
morning, July 9th. The remains
were laid to rest in the Williston
cemetery.

INJURED MAN
FOUND TUESDAY
WAS FOUND ON PRAIRIE NEAR
spR1NCRROOK-DON'T KNOW
HOW 1T HAPPENED

A young man about eighteen years
old, giving his name as Hall, was
found laying out on the prairie two
miles from Springbrook Tuesday fore
noon by two men driving by in an au-
tomobile. The young man was suffer-
ing from a blow of some kind across
the forehead and his head was badly
cut and swoolen. Although able to
tell his name, he was unable to tell
lust how long he had been there: now
he got there. or how he was injured.
He said he had worked in the Great
Northern roundhouse some time ago
and said something about being
a fireman on the railroad.
The two men finding the injured
man put him in their auto and brought
him to Williston where medical aid
was obtained.

ELKs ENJOY OUTING

The Elks and their wives had a de-
liqhtful time on their boat excursion
last Thursday afternoon. They LEFT
here shortly after 1 o'clock and went
down the river twenty miles. The
boat returned to this point about >
o'clock and took the excursionists on
up the river a distance, returning at
1890. The Williston band was on
the boat and furnished delightful
music for the dancing and for the en-
tertainment of the crowd Of more than
200. Well filled lunch baskets were
taken along and the crowd enjoyed
their picnic dinner on the boat. There
is some talk of giving another excur-
sion in the near future.

FARM BOYS
ENCAMPMENT
COUNTY WELL REPRESENTED
UNDER AUSPICES BETTER
FARM ASSOCIATION

Williams Co., was we'll represented at
the Farm Boys Camp which was held
at the state Fair under the direction
Of the Better Farming Association by
Leonard Poe of Williston and Edward
Suitland of Tioga.
It is doubtful if any feature of the
state fair aroused more genuine inter-
est or did more that will result in
such permanent good than did the
Farm Boys Encampment. Represent
ing practically every county in the
state, the boys gathered together for
the purpose of learning to be better
farmers, and to learn the impartant
fact that farming is a business and a
great business.
The boys were encamped under
military discipline in sixteen sleep
ing tents beside class and mess tents
Everything possible was done by the
Better Farming Association and the
Fair Officials to make the boys COM
Portable. The outing, in fact, COM
bining as it did study and recreation,
proved to be "a great success from
every standpoint.
The boys were given daily instruc-
ton at four class periods. They arose
at six and retired at ten and every
hour of the day was filled with some
thing of interest and entertainment.
The fair association extended the
privileges Of the grounds to the boys,
and the Y M. C. A. held free swim
ming classes for them. Hundreds of
visitors, many of them farmers, in
spected the camp and saw the work
that was being done.
/ Horses, Alfalfa, Beef cattle, Rota-
ton, Corn, Hogs, Silos, Dairy Cattle
and Farm management were few of
the subjects discussed by the B. F. A.
experts. The splendid exhibition of
stock on the grounds proved an un-
usual opportunity for the boys to
study the best blooded cattle at close
range. In fact, so pleased was the
fair management with the work of
the boys that they were chosen to
lead the prize winners in the live
stock parade. ..-
It is impossible to over emphasize
the value of camp of this nature, by
far the most original and thorough
of any held in the United States. To
boys wavering between farming as a
life work and the lure of the city,
it showed in very effective manner
that farming is business and the
great business of this state.
The results of the Farm Boys En-
campment to the state agricultrally
will be great, it's contribution to bet
ter citizenship will be greater.
