Asa Gardner figured in another
deal the past week when he disposed
of the Cronkite property to Otto
Johnson. The Cronkite homestead,
which is a part of the "Wineglass"
ranch, is located about seven miles
northwest of New England and is
considered a very good piece of prop
erty.
Mrs. Joseph Lenhardt, aged 81
years.. committed suicide on Wednes-
day morning of last week by hanging
herself in the barn at the farm nine
miles northeast of New England.
For the past two years. Mrs. Len
hardt had been out of health and it
was known by the family and neigh
bors that her mind was not right.
John Strassler, miner, was return
ing from New England to the c. C..
Culver mine with a box of dynamite;
In turning the corner one wheel
dropped off the buggy, throwing
Strassler out. The team started to
| run away and Strassler and others
watched for the explosion. The dyna-
mite was thrown out but remained
peaceful. :
Marmarth Mail:-C. P. Allison re-
| turned from st. Paul Sunday after
noon, where he had been for an
| operation for curretment of the
jaw bone. Perry has suffered some
time from a diseased jaw bone and
his friends are hoping that he will
soon be fully recovered. The opera
ton was a Serious one and he was
on the operating table over three
hours. A portion of the lower jaw
bone was removed along with the
teeth in that portion of his
mouth, and it will be a long time be-
fore Perry is able to masticate a
good slice of beef steak on that side
of his face.
On Wednesday evening Mrs. J.. C.
Newkirk left for Bridgewater, Iowa,
in response to a message telling of
| the critical condition of her brother,
| D. M. Strang. Many New England
people remember "Mont" Strang and
know about his illness last year when
pneumonia came very near taking
| him away at Roundup, Mont. For
several months the patient has been
in Iowa but has been unable to re-
cuperate and, instead, seems to be
gradually failing. L.. R. Strang re-
turned home last week after visiting
his brother and E. ]. Strang plans on
going down just as soon as the farm
work will permit.

the first of next month Mr.. and Mrs.

Diego. After taking in the fairs
| they will go to Phoenix, Arizona, for
a few months visit with their son-in-
law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
| Walter A. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson,
whose health was not very good the

we'll and able to enjoy a long trip and
| visit.-Herald. e. =
Herald:-August Strehlow arrived
last Saturday from Winona, MIMI,
| for a few weeks visit at the homes
of his sons, Oscar and Alfred Streh-
low. 1t has been three. years since
/ Mr.. Strehlow visited in this town
and he says it is wonderful to note
the changes in just this short time.
When he first visited this territory
and became financially interested in
what is now Strehlow township, it
was a range country with a few large
herds of cattle and a few scattered
ranch buildings hidden on the river
bottoms or back of the cut banks.
One might ride all day and not see .
man and in making a trip out from
Dickinson there were only two or
three ranch places along the trail.
Now nearly every homestead quarter
of land is being farmed and quite an
amount of the railroad land is under
cultivation. Mr.. Strehlow says he is
pleased with the great change in the
country and is glad to see such *
