son for Many Years; Remains
Taken to Billings.

On. Tuesday the remains Of Frank
Kihm was taken back to Billings,
Montana, his home since leaving
Dickinson some years ago. It is un-
derstood that Mrs. Kihm was on the
train which took her husbands re-
mains west. Very little is known
about Mr.. Kihm's illness.
Deceased must have been between
80 and go years Of age. He was one
Of the early settlers at Bismarck and
for d time freighted through to the
Black Hills. He also had steam boat
experience on the Missouri river.
Some time after his marriage he
started a restaurant in Bismarck and
later took charge Of the old Sheridan
hotel. He moved to Dickinson about
1892 and for many years was in
charge Of the old Willard hotel.
Finally he gave up the place and
erected the Kihm hotel, now the prop
erty Of Charles Nolan. Mr.. Kihm
was a good business man and had
much to do with the early improve
ments made in Dickinson. He was
alderman for a long time. ss.
The following is taken from the
Billings Daily Gazette Of May 10th:
"A telegram yesterday brought the
news to Billings that Frank Kihm,
proprietor of the Commercial hotel
and alderman from the First ward,
died at s. o'clock Saturday night at
the Mayo hospital in Rochester, MINI.
He was taken to. the hospital about
10 days ago, where what was thought
to have been a successful operation
was performed. The last word re
#ceived by his four children here came
from Mrs. .Kihm, who was with him,

The annual banquet given by the
Juniors in honor of their departing
school mates, the Seniors, was held
at the st. Charles Cafe last Saturday
evening. Covers were laid for forty.
The originality Of the Juniors was
shown in the clever little ladders
used as place cards, the Senior motto
being "Climb." At each plate was a
booklet in the Senior colors, maroon
and gray, in which was the menu and
a list Of the speakers for the evening.
The tables were decorated with red
roses. ~ n t& =
After delicious six course ban
quet, James .Soules, the genial and
jovial toastmaster, introduced the
first speaker of the evening, Miss
Walters. Her subject was "Clubs."
She spoke of several kinds Of clubs,
and brought out the fact that high
school was essentially club itself,
the object Of which was to better the
members in a social and educational
way. Harold Rase, in his toast "The
Seniors" mentioned that the Juniors
would miss the Seniors-just a little
and enumerated several things the
school would loose at the departure
Of the class Of 1914. Miss Carol Nc
Clure in her toast, "The Juniors"
said that the Juniors and Seniors
We're closely related in school affairs
as well as outside. She said she
thought the Juniors would make
most as good Seniors as the class Of
1914, If they tried real hard. In clos
ing she thanked the Juniors for the
beautiful banquet. Miss Morgan was
the next speaker. Her subject was
"Pits" which was developed in most
interesting and original manner. She
mentioned; the past school year as
being a book and spoke Of the differ
ent pictures she saw as the leaves
/
were turned. One OF the original
hits OF her toast was the name Of an
Italian boy, who had his I Z; name recon-
structed at different times IN his life
until y had contained the names OF
the entire faculty. Miss Helen Jeffer-
les was the next speaker, speaking on
