parties, because the government would
be unable to guarantee their safety or

few days ago in California of Foster
L. Wheeler removes another of the
men who We're prominent in the early
history of that part of Dakota terri

The town of Wheeler, since early
days the county scat of Charles Mix

located in Charles Mix county about
the year 1899 years ago-and es-
fablished a stage station at White
Swan, n a little later settled on
land adjacent to where the town of
Wheeler afterward came into exist
ence. He resided there until age and
failing health induced him to go to
California.
Mr. Wheeler was one of the 10 set

Wheeler was the first probate Judge

collect $4,000 actual damages and
$4,000 exemplary damages for making,
she alleges, a dope field of her husband.
In the complaint Mrs. Moberg sets
forth that the defendant furnished her
husband with opium n other COM
modities of which opium is a part, from
about January, 1912, until the death OF
the late August Moberg, March IT, 1914.
The complaint sets forth that Mrs. Mo-
berg warned the defendant against
such action and administration, but
that Notwithstanding such warning and
prohibition the defendant continued to
furnish the deceased with opium until
in January, 1913, Mr.. Moberg became a
fiend to the drug and from that time
until his death in March, 1914, Scott
