COL. BIDLAKE SUED BY WIFE
Ills Young Spanish Wife Claims Dcsertion snt
Non-Support in Costa Rica, S. A.

The news columns Of the state pa
pers during the week have contain
ed an item stating that the wife of
Col. John Bidlake, a former we'll
known resident of Osnabrock and re-
cognized political leader Of this county
during the early days is suing the
colonel for divorce. Col Bidlake re-
presented Cavalier county in both
houses Of the legislature back in the
territorial days, was figure head in
the state militia at the time of it's
formation and later got party recog-
milton from the administration at
Washington, since which time he has
almost been entirely a nonresident
of the state. 1t will be recalled by
the older residents of the county tina
at the time of the worlds fair in
Chicago in 1898 he had charge Of all
the midway concessions and later was
given the appointment of United
States consul at Costa Rica, previous
to which time, however, his wife had
died in New York 1t now appears
that il 1901, while he was at Costa
Rica, he met pretty sixteen year Ole
Spanish girl at bull fight and al
though he was forty-siX at the time he
married her She is now suing him
for divorce on the grounds Of deser-
tion, and alleges in the complaint thai
he is now living at Colombia with {
Spanish girl, known as Mercedes.
During his residence in South Ameri-
ca it is understood that Col. Bidlake
has accumulated immense wealth il

BUILDING SITE COST $4,000
Father 0Drsco' Has Started Work on Fine
$4,000 Church in Grand Forks

Rev NJ J. O'Driscoll, former pas
tor Of st. Alphonsus church in this
city, is evidently hard at work on the
task he has undertaken since leaving
here of building church in recent
ly organized parish which comprises
the southern part of the city of Grand
Forks. On Thanksgiving Day an
nouncement was made of the purchase
of a site on the corner of Belmont
and Third avenues, the price Of which
was $40, 600, that amount including
the retention by the parish of one of
the residences thereon, to be used as
the home Of the pastor in charge
The editice is to be known as St
Mary Catholic church and the bids
for its construction will be opened in
January, the work of construction to
start as early as possible in the spring
Somewhere about $40, 900 will be
expended in the building and it will
be completed early in the fall of 1915
Putting it mildly Rev. O'Driscoll has
been getting considerable OF move
on him since leaving Langdon early
in the fall to undertake his task of
building in Grand Forks one Of the
finest churches to be found in the en-
tire state OF North Dakota.

HERE'S LANGDON'S CHANCE
To Again Have Company Of the State Militia
Like Co. f. of Several Years Acc.

If the rank and file of our state
militia is to be recruited up to 1885,
instead of the present force of 739
men, as would appear to be probable
under plans for the Reorganization by
the government Of our national de-
fenses it would indicate the likeli-
hood ofthe formation of new militia
companies in a number Of North Da-
kota towns where they do not at pres
ent exist. To us it would appear that
here's Langdon's opportunity to get
back on the map with company of
the boys in blue You, Old Timer,
can recall the days back in the '90's
when Company e. of Langdon used to
line up with any of the companies in
the state militia when at the summer
encampment. And do you remember
the pride we always took of the boys
of Company E. when they would head
the parade to the cemeteries on Me-
mortal Day? Doesn't it seem to you
as if some ofthe old spirit and feeling
of loyal patriotism had dimmed down
since Langdon boys quit soldering
Not many of the rank and file of the
old company are left in town, but
among the younger men there would
be found plenty ready and willing tc
sign the muster roll Tor enlistment.
Langdon should be one OF the first
towns to get in line when the move
ment starts 10 reorganize the state
militia and make Is footing foul
