Johnson Family
To Leave City
W. B. johnson and Wife To Re-
turn To Their Old Home At
Charles City, Iowa.

1t is with regret that the Wi
bank people learn Of the inten-
ton Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. B.
Johnson to return to their old
home at Charles City, Iowa.
When Mr.. johnson came here he
retained his extensive property
interests in that city and while
back there this spring, on bust
ness, The Security Trust and
Savings Bank, Of which he has
been a director since 1t was or
ganized, made him a very flat
tering offer to return and take
an active part in the manage
ment of the bank affairs. The
bank found that on account Of
Mr.. Johnson's wide acquaintance
and business ability, it could
hardly afford to entirely dispense
with his services and offered him
the Vice presidency on condition
that he return as soon as possible.
The bank has deposit Of $1,000, :
900, and together with the cash
ier, Mr.. Johnson will have charge

Contract will be let by Town
Council at 8 o'clock PM, Mon
day, 25th, to the lowest bidder
for supplying team, wagon, and
man, for sprinkling streets and
other street work. Bidder to
figure by month and 10 hrs. work
per day. Council reserves the
right to reject all bids.

Street and Alley Committee.
The Wibaux pioneer. [volume] (Wibaux, Mont.) 1907-1919, 1914-05-22

of the business of the bank. For
some time Mr.. johnson was re-
luctant about going back as he
has great faith in the future of
this part of the country, but he
decided recently to accept the
offer and return to Charles City.
Mr.. Johnson will retain his in
terests in this city and section,
and from time to time he will
return to this city to look after
his business interests, as he
thinks that Eastern Montana, as
we'll as the whole state, will
some day surprise the world in
growth as we'll as prosperity.
His interests with Mr.. Fisher
will remain the same although
he will not be here personally to
oversee matters. His intention
is now, to leave about the last Of
June.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson have
made many friends here who are
sorry to learn Of their intentions
of leaving the city, but will re
joice to learn that while they
will not see them SO often, that
they have climbed few more
rounds on the ladder Of prosper
ity. The Pioneer extends best
wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson
for the future, and trusts that
they will return at intervals to
see the prosperity Of Wibaux
and the surrounding territory.

Wibaux Schools
Closed Friday
Successful School Year Closed For
the Regular Summer Vacation
Much Accomplished.

School will close for the regu-
lar summer vacation on Friday
of this week and the little tots
are more than glad that the time
has arrived. This week has
been spent in the final examina-
tions and the pupils have been
more than anxious to know
whether they had passed or not.
Life seems hard when one stops
and thinks that after working
earnestly for nine months that
they have not been promoted as
their highest ambition had de-
sired, but only pupils who get
down to real work and study are
at this time Of the year handed
their promotion cards. The pu-
pills Of the Wibaux schools all
work hard to reach the goal at
the end Of the school year and
they generally 60 ahead with
marked celerity.
Now with school out the small
boy will spend his time fishing
on nice days mixed with little
base ball playing and a certain
amount Of work laid out by the
various fathers. 1T does seem
hard to the small boy to think
that his vacation will be marred
by the stern parent suggesting
that working the garden will
make him grow and that this
world has a certain amount Of
work for us all to do. Some of
the young ladies will begin life
in new lines, and their vacation
will be harder work than thew
just finished. The same with
the teachers. They must study
up, attend summer schools. and
prepare for the next school year.
We understand that Miss Smith
will take up work on her home
stead at once, while Miss Parker
and Miss Siekmeyer will attend
summer school in short time.
Prof. Putnam has not decided
just yet as to what he will do or
where he will go. Prof. Strong,
who did not apply for the reason
that he had other ambitions in
view, will take up work in the
postoffice, and in the evenings
The Wibaux pioneer. [volume] (Wibaux, Mont.) 1907-1919, 1914-05-22

will keep books for some of the
merchants. Miss Burns will re-
main at home for awhile.
The school year, just closed,
has been one of the most success 5
full in the history of Wibaux, and
much credit is due the profess
ors and teachers for their faith
full efforts in tryi! g to broaden
the minds of the growing child
rem, who will some day be the
men and women of this country
and who will be given the task
of guiding it's destinies.

Little Child
Passed Away

Cora, the little three year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Meyers, passed away at the
Dickinson hospital at Z O'Clock
on Thursday morning Of this
week Of pneumonia. The little
one had been i'll for some time
and last week she was taken to
the hospita !. the doctors there
found that she had a severe case
Of pneumonia and Wednesday
morning operated upon one Of
her lungs to removed the puss.
She rallied from the operation
and was improving until in the
evening when she took sudden
change for the worse and the
end soon came. The funeral
will be held at the Congrega-
tional church Saturday, Rev.
Essig officiating, and the little
one will be laid to rest in the
local cemetery. Mr.. and Mrs.
Meyers have the sympathy of
the whole community in their
hour of sadness and the loss of
their only daughter.

Ad0|ph Starts
New Industry
Farmers Cash Meat Market Will
Open Small Packing House
In This City.

Since purchasing the interests
Of the Wibaux Provision Co.,
the Farmers Cash Meat Market
has added another industry to
our city. While conversing with
Mr.. Zimmerman the other day,
he informed US that they will now
purchase all the hogs which can
gotten and will run, in connec-
ton with their market, a pack
ing house on a small scale. Their
intention is to smoke the hams
and bacons and to sell the loins
and what they can over the
block in the local shop and what
surplus they have will be shipp-
ed out Of the city. They have
placed the large ice-box which
Mr.. Zimmerman had in his shop
in the back room to be used for
a refrigerator to store the sur
plus pork waiting until they get
enough on hand to ship.
This will be- a great thing for
this part Of the country as it will
give the farmers a chance to mar
ket their pork at cash prices all
the year round. It has hereto
fore been that more hogs were
raised than the market could
handle and this new industry
will make the farmers surplus OF
hogs saleable at any time. This
week Mr.. Zimmerman has been
offering more for live hogs than
is the market price at Beach, and
one farmer stated to us that the
Beach market was overloaded
with this kind of meat and that
as a consequence the market
was going down. Mr.. thinner
man will pay cash for your hogs
at any time Mr.. Farmer, and
you know that he will give you
a square deal also. With your
help this new industry can be
made to pay and by doing your
part, that of raising. more hogs,
you will be one of the winners
in the long run.

HORSES KILLED:
MEN ESCAPED

Grand Forks, N. D., July 24.-Twc

er Ellison, a prominent farmer resid
ing about six miles west Of the city
in Brenna township, were instantly
killed by lightning during the storm OF
Tuesday afternoon, and two sons OF
Mrs. Ellison had a narrow escape from
instant death,
The team handsome pair OF
young drivers. had just been unhitch
ed and hurried into the barn by the
boys, who had been to this city and
who drove home at rapid rate when
the storm came up. They had partly
removed the harness and were stand
ing back of the team and about to re-
enter the stall, when lightning, fol-
lowing terrific peal of thunder,
struck the roof of the barn, tore hole
through it and into the stable, telling
the horses dead in their stall.
The two young men were stunned
for an instant, but received no serious
injuries.
The storm was severe in that local
