A NEW MAIL CARRIER

Commencing with July 1st the
Dickinson-Fayette- Oakdale star route
gets a new carrier, Frank Schwindt,
a farmer living a short distance from
New Hradec. Likewise the Fayette-
Mary route gets new carrier in the
person of Hugh Leeper, homestead
er residing some 7 miles west Of
Mary.
Mr.. Schwindt is under bonds to the
government to carry the mail from
Dickinson to Oakdale via Fayette on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
returning Tuesdays, Thursdays anu
Saturday, for year for the sum Of
81 ZOO. Clifford Smith, who had been
carrying the mail previous to the new
four-year contract, thought it was
worth fully $4,000 year to do the
work owing to the increased weight
since the inauguration Of parcel post
service. -
Irving Crist, who had been carry
ing the mail from Mary to Fayette
once week for $475.83 a year, did
not put in any bid for the new con-
tract. Mr.. Leeper, who is between
60 and 70 years of age, takes the
contract for $475, and his was the
only bid offered.

FRED KOSTELECKY'S DEATH

Fred, the oldest son Of Mrs. Mary
Kostelecky, passed away Sunday
morning at the Kostelecky home in
this city. Death was due to can
Ger Of the throat. Fred had not been
well for some time and in January
he went to St. Paul and consulted
specialists in regard to an operation.
He was told that there was little hope
and the chances were that an opera
ton would only hasten the end. -
Fred Kostelecky was thirty-six
years old, having been born in Bo-
hemia, coming to this country about
thirty years ago, where he spent the
greater part Of his life. For many
years he was employed by the North
ern Pacific Ry. Co. He had pleas
ant disposition and was well liked.
Besides his mother, he leaves three
sisters, Mollie, Anna and Emma, and
five brothers, Frank, Lewie, William,
Toney and John. All were present
1t the funeral except Toney, who is
in Montana with a surveying party
and could not get the news Of his
brothers death. ]s@
The funeral was held from the
home Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Girls
void Bragaw, officiating. Interment
was made in the Dickinson cemetery.

Maxwell Burnett, John Lsh, VIM.

ALL RECORDS FOR RAIN
ARE BROKEN IN 1874
OVER R !. IL / !; INS, IN JUNE U
Records of 22H Years Show Nothing
to Equal This Season. -Washouts
Near Mandan.

The rain of Friday night, June
l26th, totaling 100 inches, and the
fall of .39 inches Sunday morning,
rounded out 1888 inches for June, and
| is the greatest fall for this month
that has been recorded in 221a years,
during the entire period that govern
ment records have been kept at Dick
inson. .se5-,
The previous high record was for
June, 1904, when 6,10 inches was re-
corded. In 1906 the fall of rain for
May amounted TOLL inches. Hence
the June record of 7.88 inches Of rain
for the month just past, beats all
former findings of the government at
Dickinson by ~ inches. .
The ground is soaked to a great
depth, about four feet, and crops are
in the finest Of condition. There is
ample moisture in the ground now to
mature one of the largest crops in the
history of the country.
The rain on the 26th of June
caused Apple creek, just east of Bis
marck, to go on rampage and all
through passenger traffic was
brought to standstill. Before the
IN. P. had completed the Apple creek
damage a disasterous washout oc-
Cured at Sweet Briar, about IL miles
this side of Mandan, and it was not
until Wednesday morning that the
company was able to move trains over
the place. In the meantime through
passenger trains were transferred to
other lines and Dickinson received
practically no mail from east of the
Missouri river for five days.
Farmers should turn in at once
and plow any fields that have not
been cropped this season. By so
doing the weeds will be killed and the
moisture conserved for another sea-
son. .gsa5. s. - :,
The total precipitation for the first
six months Of 1914 is 14.03 inches.

On June 27th, Engineers w. n

and the property damage was not

via Terry over the Milwaukee to St.
Paul. Engineer Flanagan was given
second crew and started out. Ed
Nichols was sent as conductor and Bill
Peterson of this .city was nreraan for
the local engineer. The idea was 70

trip, double crewed, SO that while one
set worked the other could rest and
sleep, the Milwaukee Co. sending a
pilot engine. ,7.-= &. sss5,
The heavy rains made the road bed
soft and consequently the track was
rough which was supposed to be The
cause of derailment near Roscoe.
The tender went off the track but
remained right side up, as did the
berry car next to it, but the next
berry car, express and mail cars
turned over on their side. The smok-
er and tourist cars left the track but
did not turn over. Engineer Flana.
gan was at the throttle at the time OF
the accident and was delighted when
he went back to find that no. one was
hurt. A passenger, who broke
through window after the derail-
ment, cut himself but not seriously

MANDAN FLOODS
HOLD UP TRAINS
FOR FIVE DAYS

The rain of June 26th amounted to
a cloudburst at Mandan and Bis
marck and was the cause of the lar
gest tie up on the Northern Pacific
since the strike of 1894. 1t was prac-
tically five days before trains could
be sent over the washed out track.
The first damage reported was at
Apple creek east Of Bismarck, but it
soon developed that there was more
serious trouble between Sweet Briar
and Judson, short distance this side
of Mandan, and at another place
east Of Glen Ul'in. It was reported
that 1,50O feet of grade and track
was washed away at the first named
point, and about 1000 feet at the last
place. 1t became necessary to build
track around the damaged places.
The railroad company put on large
crews of men and a strenuous effort
was made to resume traffic before
July LIST, but it was impossible. Ad-
ditional rain fell on Sunday and again
Tuesday and made it very discourag-
ing. In the meantime, the local pas
senger train, No. 8, made up at Glen
dive, came down each morning and
went east as far as Glen Ullin, re-
turning in the evening. A number
of the through passenger trains were
caught at Mandan and Bismarck and
were held for several days.
Telegraphic accounts said that rain
fell in torrents at Mandan and vicin-
ity on Friday last, flooding the
streets and causing people on the
flats to move to higher ground.
Many Easements in the business dis
trict We're filled and the water dam
age runs into the thousands of dol
lars. Bismarck also came in for con-
siderable loss on account of the
water.
The branch lines north and south
Of Mandan came in for damage and
for several days all traffic was at a
standstill.
1t was about 1870 Wednesday
forenoon when the first through
trains from the east commenced to-
reach Dickinson. There were several
sections within a short period of
time. Delayed passengers, those who
had not been sent around by other
routes, were getting off and telling
!, III &oI
mail and express amounted to tons
and tons. The local postoffice had
the equivalent Of Is mails from No.
|3 dumped into the building in one
afternoon. Carriers were unable to
handle much but letters the first day
but cleaned up every thing on Thurs
day.
Gollmar Bros. were unable to reach
Dickinson for show on Tuesday or
Beach the following day. The show
was in Bismarck on Monday and
Tuesday and reached Dickinson en-
route to Glendive just after supper
Wednesday. It was big disappoint-
ment to hundreds of people in this
city whoHcame in from long distances
to see the circus. From Glendive
Gollmars went to Sidney and are
booked for the Fourth at Williston.
The circus will be in Stanley next
Monday, reaching Minot later in the
week. Gollmar Bros. promise to
come to Dickinson in 1915 or 1916.
The Alabama Minstrels were un-
able. to reach Dickinson, passing
through the city on Wednesday.

JOHN SAMPSON
SUICIDES At DUNN
COUNTY HOME

Jim Sampson, a resident of Dunn
county the past nine or ten years,
suicided Thursday morning on his
homestead some five miles west of
Manning. Particulars, of the affair
are lacking. He was single, some 40
years of age, and was apparently in
good circumstances, having a we'll
stocked farm. In addition to his own
farm, he cultivated the land of Man
son Whiteman.
The officials from Manning went
out to investigate as soon as the
suicide was reported on Thursday.

PEOPLES CHOICE
It will be impossible to get the ex-
act vote on state nominations for a
few days, or until after the canvas
sing boards have finished. AS near
as can be ascertained at this time,
Hanna has $4,000 votes, Burdick
10000 and Wishek about 11,OOO.
Gronna has a plurality of about
1000 votes, with Worst something
like 1000 ahead Of Miller.
The latest returns indicate John
Steen of Rugby has won for state
treasurer.
In the Congressional race in the
Third District, P. D. Norton has a
big majority over L. A. Simpson,
1000 or possibly more. It seems from
the incomplete returns that Con-
gresham Norton carried everything
north of the river, leaving Mr.. Simp-
son with Stark, Mercer and Hettin-
ger as the only counties won. Bill
