Anderson is the local president, while
Charles Davis has the office of Sec
retary and treasurer. This organi-
zation takes in some 60 farmers of

Mr.. Monty expected a meeting
would be held Monday evening, after
his return home, to perfect the ele-
vator incorporation. Geo. H. Flint,
who has been with the Occident Co.,
| is to remain with the farmers organi-
zation.

BOHEMIAN FEAST DAY

Rev. Fr. Alphonse Hem, o. S. B.,
pastor of St. Wenceslaus Bohemian
church in the eastern part of the
city, came up from Richardton last
Saturday to hold services in the
Bohemian Catholic church.
On Tuesday, September %, the
Bohemians celebrated the feast of
st. Wenceslaus, the patron of their
church. Father Alphonse sang a
high mass and preached sermon on
this patron saint, who was the son
of Wratislaus, a Christian duke and
Drahomlra, a pagan. He was
brought up by his grandmother, st.
Ludmilla. Before his death, his father
appointed Wenceslaus as his success
sor and st. Ludmilla as regent. But
the wicked Drahomira engaged wick
ed noblemen to strangle St. Ludmilla.
st. Wenceslaus outlived his grand
mother by eleven years, when he was
killed by his brother, Boleslaus, at the
instigation of his own mother,
Drahomira, in the year 938. It was
especially under the reign of St.
Wenceslaus that the Christian relig-
ion took root in the Bohemian
country.
Now everywhere, Bohemians cele-
fbrate the 28th Of September, as the
day Of st. Wenceslaus-t their saint,
patron and king.

peared in the Mandan Daily Pioneer
Eof September %:
+ Edward MacCadams, aged so years,
one of the first settlers Of western
North Dakota and Mandan, passed
away Sunday morning at the st.
Aexius hospital in Bismarck after
"a lingering illness of more than a
year. The cause of the demise was
cancer Of the blood.
Deceased was born at Farleigh, Ia,
July %, 1865, and in 1879, when
fourteen years Of age, was taken by
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Mac cCadams, to Medora, N. D.,
where they established home. Upon
reaching manhood's estate, Mr.. Mac
Cadams was employed with bridge
construction gang of the Northern Pa
cific.
He later took a position in the
car shops here and was also employed
as brakeman. He was united in
marriage in 1896 to Miss Emma
Olson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

born to them. The first died in in
fancy, but three survive. They are

for 18 months. He returned and re-
sumed his work with the Northern

Dickinson for some years. For the
past ten years he has been operating
a we'll digging outfit and has been
mainly engaged between Mandan and
New Salem and around the latter
city.
Just eight weeks prior to the time
of his death he was taken to the
Bismarck hospital, but medical aid
was unavailing. Although death was
expected, it came suddenly, and only
his wife was with him at the end.
Prepared by the hospital priest, he
calmly awaited his Masters call.
Saturday evening, he had supper with
his wife, and then retired. At ~
O'Clock he called to her, reached for
her hand and then lost consciousness.
Death came at 4 o'clock.
Deceased was member of the
Loyal Order of Moose, and the An
lcient Order Of United Workmen,
with whom he carried insurance.
The body was brought to the city
Monday and taken to the home, and
services We're held there Tuesday
afternoon at 80 o'clock. The body
| was then taken to the St. Joseph
Catholic church and services held.
Interment took place in the Union
cemetery.

lief. He underwent several opera

spread to his nose. and throat, finally
making it impossible to swallow even

PAT LYONS PAYS BACK
MONEY INCLUDING INT,

A telegram was received by Attor-
ney w. +. Burnett on Wednesday to
the effect that Pat Lyons had finally
turned over the big Arnett ct al COM
mission which a federal judge and
jury decided year ago he had
wrongfully held out on his clients.
Sure enough on the following day
along came a draft for $12,OOO.OO
made payable to the Merchants Ma
tional bank of Dickinson to cover
judgment. and interest.
The history of the case is some
thing like this: A. H. Arnett, w. L.
Richards, George A. Senour, John H.
DAILY and Wilson Eyer bought a large
tract of the Northern Pacific railroad
lands in Morton county some years
ago and about two years ago the
property was placed in the hands
of Pat Lyons Of Minneapolis, formerly
of Steel, this state, to sell. In due
course of time the land was sold and
the agent was allowed his commits
sion of $1,000 from the Dickinson
parties. However, in cleaning up the
title in some manner it came out that
the purchasers had also paid COM
mission of $1,000 and that Lyons had
held out in addition to this $1.OO per
acre on the 10000 acres An action
was started Immediately against Pat
Lyons to recover the extra commits
sions. The case was tried in federal
court in Minneapolis and plaintiffs
won their suit. Subsequently J. S.
Green, formerly of Mandan and Het-
finger, now residing in the west,
came in and attached the money held
by Lyons, claiming that he was en-
titled to commission that had not
| been paid on account of being associ-
ated in some way with Pat Lyons.
The court was satisfied that the said
Green had no rightful claim and the
action was dismissed, and again he
brought suit which was also dis
missed.
Hence, it has been a long road that
the Dickinson parties have travelled
to get their commission back but they
have it and are mighty glad to get
the matter Strengthened out.
The people who bought the land
tried to bring suit to recover SINH
lar amount, which action is still
pending.
w. F. Burnett acted as legal coun-
sci for the Dickinson people.

part of Andrew Carnegies. We want good men
for office--the very best men we have we want
them to give of their time as much as the business
of the Office demands and yet we have little or
nothing TO offer hem in remuneration. A man
to do full duty to the office of mayor of Cedar City
should give the major portion of his time, thought
and energy to the duties of the Office. Can any
competent man afford to do this? Not unless he
has competency, and can live regardless of
whether he gives time and attention to his own
business or not.
What is true of Cedar City is to great ex
tent true of Iron county. Some Of the salaries of
county officers are ridiculously low, and none of
them could be termed munifcient
Much as we dislike to increase the burdens of
the taxpayers it seems to us that the time is
at hand when we will have to compensate our pub
lie officials nearly in keeping with the service
demanded. We see no more reason for man la
boring for the community of people for less than
the customary wage, than for individuals. If in
dividuals can afford to pay more for labor, sure
iy the community polite can do as much.
Ought we not, at the risk of encouraging the
parasite compensate our public Of
icials in an amount commensurate with the SER
vice exacted?
