DARLING BUYS WARDROBE
TUFTS HOMESTEAD|NG

H. w. Dahrling of Mankato, Mime
sofa, has purchased the Dickinson
Wardrobe from J. Edward Tufft and
arrived with Mrs. Dahrling Tuesday
to take over his purchase.
Mr.. Dahrling was raised in the
south and was for some time manager
Of large cleaning establishment in
New Orleans. He comes to Dickinson
from the management of similar es-
tabishment in Mankato. He is a
tailor and halter and thoroughly un-
derstands the cleaning business and
has made a speciality Of handling
rugs.
Mr.. Tufft has built up a good busi-
ness in Dickinson which represents
an investment of about $500, fire
loss deducted, and his successor seems
to- be the right man to develop the
enterprise.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tufft have filed on a
valuable claim near J. B. Stoddard's
place nine miles south of Sentinel
Butte. In fact their house will be
only quarter of a mile from the
Stoddard residence. This is a quarter
section which was turned back for
filing after the school land survey
and was filed upon by Mr.. Tufft in
March. The fact that it is in a well
settled community, where land is sell
ling as high as $35 per acre, makes
Mr.. Tufft feel that he has secured a
choice filing. Garner creek flows
along side this claim.
Mr.. Tufft leaves i'm few days to
erect the house, which will be hasten
ed to completion as both Mr.. and
Mrs. Tufft have taken schools near
by, which begin early in September.
Mrs. Tufft is a graduate of the Iowa
State Normal and Mr.. Tufft of High
land Park College of Des Moines and
Golden Valley county is fortunate to
secure two teachers so well fitted for
the work.

RAIN AND HAIL
HIT BELF|ELD

The southwest portion of the city
of Belfeld had a destructive hail and
rain storm on Thursday afternoon be-
tween the hours of 8 and o'clock,
which stripped the trees of more than
half their foliage and cut down all
crops. There was 2 inches of hail on
the side walks and as late as 900
o'clock in the evening hail stones
were still several inches deep in many
places. The storm came from the
west and doubled back and forth.
Some windows were broken, and TAX
ing it all and all the place presented
a sorry appearance after the storm
had abated. The creeks were all over
flowing their banks Thursday evening.
The storm extended only about
mile and a ahlf west of town
and less than two miles east. People
in from few miles southeast report
ed no rain, and the same reports
came from Zenith and Fryburg.
The farms where the hail hit were
near Belfield, including Mrs. Schusler,
A. Shirke and Mrs. Prices places
just south and west of town. Davis
Bros. lost half crop on 250 acres
just northwest of town. There were
no losses worth mentioning on the
Holland-Dakota Landbouw Co. farms.
The farms hit have practically total
loss of crop, but most of the owners,
and possibly all, carried some insur-
ance

INJURED IN RUNAWAY.
Al! BROWN DAIRY FARM

Miss Veronica, the 12-years-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ormanzo
Brown, of The Brown Dairy, was the
victim of a painful and what was at
first feared to be a serious accident
at the farm shortly before noon
Wednesday,.
AS she often has done before, Miss
Veronica was raking hay, two horses
being attached to the rake. Just
what happened will probably never
be known as no one saw the accident
and the girl herself could not tell.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown heard the noise
and rushed out to find the tongue of
the rake broken off, two rods of
fence torn up, their daughter thrown,
or dragged, fifty feet and the team
fleeing toward town.
Miss Veronica was unconscious and
blood was flowing freely and she was
terribly bruised. Doctors were hasti-
ly summoned and the little sufferer
rushed to the hospital. Frequent
hemorrhages on the way in and after
she reached the hospital both from
the mouth and the ear caused fear of
internal injuries and an X-Ray ex-
animation was made.
About 200 o'clock she partially re-
gained consciousness but only for a
few minutes at a time. Her mother
was with her at the hospital.
She passed a fairly comfortable
night and was so much better Thurs
day morning that it was thought
there. were no serious complications.

and he will go up against men Of 70

is feeling good, has been shooting

chance of winning money at Chicago.
Frank Clark is good shot and has
entered for several events, and he
wants the trip any way and chance

Twin Cities and Chicago.
The same is true of Lewie Koste-

His brothers, William and John Kos

that he will take Frank Clark and

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
WEDbED IN MINNESOTA

Wednesday, August II, was the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the mar
riage of Mr.. and Mrs. O. A. Brown
and a pleasant surprise had been
planned for Mrs. Brown by the family
in the gift of set of silver which was
nicely hidden IN the auto and was to
have been presented at dinner.
The accident to their daughter,
Veronica, few minutes before noon
of that day put all thoughts Of any,
thing else away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown were married
in Austin, Minnesota, where they re-
sided eight years, moving to Hawley
for the five years just previous to
their removal to Dickinson in the
spring Of 1903.
Thirteen chilayen have been born to
them, five SINCE they came to Dickin-
son. The Oldest, Bernice, died the
year they came and they have lost a
baby since. Their living children
are Bernadette, %Mrs. Earl Fisher),
Mercedes, Theeh1a, Leon, Ignatius,
and the twins, Zita and Chlotilda.
The Browns purchased the Beisigl
place TWO Mules east of town and
have added Wy purchase to the origin

acres. SG>A = q
MH. Brown milI1ks about 40 cows and

He has some eleven acres Of trees all
told, and has erected two big silos.
This year he has a 125-acre corn
field, that is a beauty, standing so
high that a H1ans and team cultivat-

not come toos early, this field, which
is in silk, gives promise of so to go

receiving your letter.
This case is one of the most re-
markable and interesting cases l have
ever had to deal with. 1t is worthy
of the efforts of Sherlock Holmes.
This man was apparently fully identi-
fed by the Mrs. Pitlin referred to in
the clipping, or as she was known to
us at first as Mrs. E. I. Randolph, 655
Groveland Park, Chicago. I think
that meeting of Mrs. Pitkin, DR.. c.
H. Lovewell, 6058 Wentworth Avenue,
Chicago, Mrs. Moran, his claimed
sister, the authorities Of the Waseca,
Minnesota County 1nfrmary and any,
one from the Mayo clinic who re-
members him at the time of opera
tion, would be very interesting.
The weak point in the evidence ap-
establishing his identity as
that of the missing Jay Allen Cald-
well is, as you have stated in your
articles, his stay at the Waseca In
firmary previous to the disappearance
of Jay Allen Caldwell.
I shall await eagerly the solution
of the mystery-if it shall ever be
solved.

After Guy Houghton

Guy Houghton manages to keep
himself in the limelight. Houghton,
as railroad employee and later
working as a carpenter, has made
good wages but his wife and five
children got little of this and have
often been in sore straits. About a
month ago the court ordered him to
pay for their support. It was about
this time that he was in a mix-up in
place on Willard street and was
arrested and fined and his wife start
ed divorce proceedings. 1t was be-
ginning to get hot for him and two
weeks ago he skipped out, thinking
to free himself from all responsible
ity and inflict himself on new COM
munity.
But the court order still follows
him and it will probably be but a
short time until he is brought to JUS
tice, which will likely mean prison
bars for him. His mother resides in
Milwaukee and it is possible he may
have found an asylum with her.

Board Buys Block


The Dickinson school board is this
week purchasing the east half of
Block K, north of the David Roberts
residence. The board last year
bought the west half Of Block B, just
north of the present school buildings
and this weeks purchase gives them
a half block on either side Of 4th
Ave. West. The land was owned by
Attorney Thomas Murn, who trans
ferred- it to Max Hendrick, coming
down from Terry, Montana, Thursday
afternoon to complete the deal. Mr.
Hendrick then transferred the proper
ty to the school board. This gives the
Dickinson school district an entire
vacant block north Of the block on
which the buildings are located which
can be utilized for Fairgrounds.

Take Care of Trees

Shave one pound of common laun-
dry soap into one gallon of boiling
water and allow to dissolve. While
still hot stir in very vigorously gal
Ions of kerosene and mix thoroughly
until the whole forms a clabber like
mass, like sour milk. Now dilute this
with 10 gallons of water and use a
spray on trees which are affected with
plant lice. The spray kills the lice
by contact so if any lice are not
touched by the spray they will not
be killed. Therefore spraying has to
be done thoroughly. The box elder
trees in Dickinson are considerably
affected by plant lice or aphids.

SOULES & BUTLER BUILD

Soules G. Butler have decided upon
an improvement of their Willard
street brick block which means not
only great added convenience to them
selves but a substantial increase in
the income value of the property.
They are erecting. one story ad-
dition to their hardware store which
will extend back I'd the alley, making
a 25x141 foot aoor area. The new
part is to have a concrete floor and
will be utilized as a tin shop. This
work has heretofore been done up
stairs and the firm will find it much
more convenient to have this shop on
the same floor with the store and
easily accessible.
The upper Aoor is to be made into
flats which, with the central heat con-
nection being made this month, will
be very desirable.

AUGUST OVERBECK
DIES At DICKINSON

August Overlook, whose illness and
removal to the Dickinson hospital was
mentioned in these columns two
weeks ago, died Wednesday after
noon, August II, from Bright's dis
ease and leakage of the heart.
Mr.. Overlook had been in poor
health for some time and about year
ago the family came out here from
Iowa, hoping the change would prove
beneficial to Mr.. Overbeck's health
and have since been with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Hanson, in the
vicinity of Hanley and Ranger. Mr..
Overlook had an acute attack of heart
trouble two weeks ago from which
he was unable to rally. He has been
a great sufferer. His wife was with
him the two weeks at Dickinson and
his parents arrived a week ago.
Deceased was born thirty-four years
ago in Luana, Iowa, where his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. c.. H. Overlook,
reside. One brother and four sisters
survive him. His wife is the daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Hanson,
and there are two children, Evelyn,
aged seven, and Margaret, five.
Wednesday morning when Mr..
Overbeck's condition became so seri-
GUS, Miss Eva Sargent went out by
livery auto via New England and
Amidon, to notify Mrs. Overlook IS
brother, John, who came in Thursday
via Medora.
The remains were prepared for
shipment by Boulger & Hughes and
taken on No. 2 Thursday to Luana,
Iowa, accompanied by the widow and
children, parents and John Hanson.
Mrs. Overlook expects to return
after time to make her home with
her parents at Ranger.

FRENCH BUYERS
TOOK 101 HEAD
THE SALES AT BELFIELD AND
DICKINSON MADE THE EURO
PEAN REPRESENTATIVES
ABOUT S CARLOADS.
Good Prices Paid and Growers Well
Satisfied. Frank Smith Turned
in 20 Head of Fine Horses.

The French horse inspection for
Stark county and country tributary,
finished Monday morning at the Dick
inson stock yards. The evening be
fore is head were inspected and ae-
cepted in Is minutes, which is a
pretty fast record for horse buying.
A total of IS head were purchased at
this point, Ed. Partridge, Walter
Mark and Percy, Goslett being among
those who sold to the French buyers.
At Belfeld, the number taken. was
66 head including 20 from the Frank
Smith ranch and several each from
the Massuer B., Simpson and Art
Anderson places.
There was better than. so per cent
of the horses offered accepted at the
inspection this month, which indicates
that the growers are getting familiar
with war. horse requirements. The
inspectors will not take anything
under years of age or over about
TO- years. If the horses are halter
broken, Is to 161h hands high and
sound, they are quite certain of be-
ing accepted. Color does not matter
so much. If growers will follow out
these specifications they will have
very little trouble in selling horses to
the French, whose agents are willing
to pay $120 per head for cavalry
horses, $140 for gunners and $155
for artillery stock.
The horses purchased here were
trailed to New England and CARED
to Mclaughlin. At Marmarth 300
head were assembled the first of the
week, and to the number were to be
added those purchased at Bowman
and Lennon so that the agents must
have shipped big trainload to
Quebec, Canada, this week.
AS near as can be ascertained, the
French have already taken 10000
head Of horses. out of this country,
the firm of Mayer & Carpenter of
New York having purchased $4,000 of
the number. '~-''-~,-'>'.. '.....'- '''.-' st.
AS stated in our July 10 report Of
inspection, the. French are the only
European nation buying horses for
Capt. Roy and. DR.. Costera, both
from France, and j. R. Mayer, of the
firm of Mayer, G. Carpenter, the New
York buyers, were here the first OF
the week for the inspection. Mr..
Owens, who was also with the party,
was kicked. by, a, horse at. Belfeld,
but he was still in the ring and was
going QUITO Bowman for Tuesday:
Mr.. Mayer could not say definitely
when he was in Dickinson when the
next inspection would be held here,
but he thought in about three weeks.
Some 7o93 the horse growers seem
to have the idea that war horse in
spectors are going to visit their
places and pick up one and two head
here and there, but this is a mistak=
en- idea. Growers who have horses
that meet the requirements should
bring them for the advertised in
spections if they want to sell.
There was no inspection this time
at the Custer Trail.
