Painful and Lingering Illness

Frank Glemo, one Of the pioneer
residents of the vicinity of Olga, who
until recently was patient in the
Langdon hospital suffering from a
cancerous growth in his stomach and
whose case the doctors had pronounced
to be hopeless, died yesterday morn
ing at the home of Mrs. Clermont at
Olga. About a month ago he was
removed from the hospital, going back
to Olga at his own request. He knew
that his death was Inevitable and al
though he had not known relative in
this country felt that death would be
more welcome to him when it came if
he could but die among those who had
been his friends all the years he has
been in the country since coming from
France. The trip to Olga was made
in an automobile and though given
constant care and careful nursing at
the home of Mrs. Clermont he gradu-
ally grew weaker as the disease made
its headway in the struggle for life.
Deceased was about tifty-fve years
old, was unmarried and is thought to
have brother and two sisters living
at the old home in the northern part
of France. He was possessed of little
property of any value at the time he
died.

CAR FAMINE AT WINDYGATES

According to report brought to
town on Thursday by Robert Robert
son of Elkwood, there is scarcity of
cars for the shipment of grain over
the line that was recently opened up
for the crop of farmers on this side
of the line from Windygates, Man.
The first shipments of Cavalier county
crop from this point were made about
December 1st and for the first couple
of weeks shipments went out regular
ly with the average of cars loaded
running up to about fifteen for each
of the two weeks. Since then it has
been the next thing to impossible to
get cars at all and a complaint is be.
ing entered with the railroad company
at its head office in Winnipeg. There
are several causes assigned, but the
more generally accepted idea seems
to be that the heavy grain shipments
being made to terminals from the
western provinces is the real reason
for the market at Windygates being
tied up for the present. time
