FATAL PARALYTIC STROKE
OF FORMER MILTON LADY
Mrs. Rueben Beatty Dies in Her Grand Forks
Home Following ParaIytiC Stroke

Mrs. Rueben Beatty, formerly Of
the Milton vicinity but lately a resi-
dent Of Grand Forks, arose from the
supper table on Wednesday evening
of last week and staggered into an
adjoining room and fell onto lounge.
For almost twenty-four hours follow
ing she was unconscious and unable
to recognize anyone. Friday night she
became somewhat better and was
able to understand what was said to
her. Mrs. Beatty had been around
as usual on Wednesday,, out in the
garden and around the house. She
laid the supper table and was seated
at it pouring tea. Suddenly she arose
without apparent cause. Mr.. Beatty
spoke to her and she did not respond,
but swayed and staggered into the ad-
joining room and fell unconscious. A
physician was called and finally pro-
nounced the patient to be suffering
from stroke. Friday she was much
improved, but on Monday of this week
she suffered relapse and died or
Tuesday afternoon. Her death comes
as great shock to the many friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Beatty in the Miltor
vicinity, where deceased was fol
several years prominent in social ano
church circles. Mr.. and Mrs. Beatty
had no family. They formerly livee
on farm south Of Milton, but have
been residents of Grand Forks for the
the past couple of years. -Milto1

OLE AXVIG'S CT. N. SIDING
FOR FREMONT TOWNSHIP
Townsite With Elevator and Grain Market for
Northern Cavalier County

Saturday Of last week Supt Nc
Lauchlin of the Great Northern was
here in his private car in conference
with Senator Mclean and Hon. Ole r.
Axvig of Milton. The latter accom-
panied the railway official on his trip.
The object of the conference was to
arrange for a siding on the Morden
branch some six miles north of Wal
halla in the township of Fremont,
Cavalier county, near the Canadian
boundary. This week the Senator and
Representative have gone via Grand
Forks to locate the site. During the
last session Representative Axvig in
troduced a bill to force siding at
that point. An agreement was signed
by the railway authorities and pre-
sented to Messrs Mclean and Axvig
proposing to build a siding early this
season without the necessity of push
ing the bill.
On this trip the site will be located
and the farmers of Numedahl and
Fremont will have a convenient place
to load their grain this fall In all
probability an elevator will be built
near Elm Point and trains will stop
there on signal. The people of Walhal-
la are opposed to the project for OBJ
vious reasons but that is no sufficient
reason why the Fremont farmer should
not have convenience which is prac.
tically necessity. For years these
farmers living alongside the right-of
way of the Morden branch have beer
hauling their grain over several miles
of sandy road to get to market. By
the efforts of these Legislators the
difficulty is being solved. The siding
will likely be located on the Harve,
farm Sec. 25, Township 164, rang.
81, and Mr.. Axvig suggests that tn.
new place be called Tipperary.-

Of Langdon Appointed Register of Land
Office at Dickinson, N. D.

1t had been known in the circle of
prominent democrats Of the state and
northwest that Attorney Dickson was
slated for a federal appointment by
the national administration, but the
size of the plum President Wilson
handed out on May day came as quite
pleasant surprise to both Attorney
Dickson and his Langdon friends. The
U. S. land office located at Dickinson
has tributary government land that
brings to that Office an amount of
business that classes it as not only
the largest in the state but in the en-
tire northwestern group of states.
The present occupant of the office,
Register J. G. Quinlivan's term ex-
pires about the middle of this month
which undoubtedly will necessitate
Attorney Dickson leaving Langdon to
take charge of the Dickinson land
office almost Immediately. Mr.. Dick
son, however, has not as yet formed
any plans as to the taking up of his
law practice here in the legal firm of
Dickson & Devaney, neither is it
likely that Mrs. Dickson and the
family will be removing from the city
to their new home at Dickinson until
the latter part Of the summer.
In residence here extending over
upwards of twenty years Attorney
Dickson has an official capacity and
as private citizen earned and won
the esteem of the rank and file of
democrats, both county and state, as
a Jealous worker for the party's well
fare and upbuilding. Mr.. Dickson's
activity as campaigner has beencon-
ceeded as in a large measure having
enabled Cavalier county to maintain
its political attitude as a stronghold
of democracy in the state campaigns
of succeeding years. AS law prac-
titioner he has by his ability gained
prominence over the state, and here
in Cavalier county, as public prose.
cutor, gained renown in some of the
most noticeable criminal cases thai
have been tried in North Dakota. The
recognition which Mr.. Dickson re.
ceives at this time in his appointment
as register of the United States lant
office at Dickinson by President Will
son is fittingly bestowed upon one
whose worth and ability all the people
Of Langdon and Cavalier county stant
ready and willing to vouch fo!
irrespective of party.

AUTO TRIP TO JACKSONVILLE, FLA

JOS P kartes is planning to spend
large part of the coming summer
season in an auto trip south as far as
Jacksonville, Fla, and is now making
preliminary arrangements Of his
schedule for the trip, upon which ac-
cording to present arrangement, he
will start about May 18th. Mr..
Kartes is this week giving his Ford,
a car of the roadster type, thorough
overhauling and tuning UP preparatory
to the long run from the extreme
northern boundary Of the United
States to where the coast line of it's
southernmost state is Tapped by the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico, a dis
tance directly south of 1,5OO miles,
though over the route proposed the
distance will be increased to nearly
2, 500 miles and will occupy about
three weeks under favorable weather
conditions. Mr. Kartes has property
interests in Florida which he will
spend some time in looking over and
has points of interest enroute that he
will take time to enjoy seeing.

Mrs. Howatt, at Regina, Sask.

The funeral services were held here
in Langdon on Tuesday afternoon, the
remains being taken direct to the
Presbyterian church after the arrival
of the 1 :13 afternoon train, followed
by services at half past two o clock,
when Rev. F. J. Hibbard, as the
pastor of Mrs. Moore, before the
family left here for Forest Grove,
paid beautiful tribute to one whom
countless Langdon people had learned
to love and respect; one who through
suffering and illness had always been
found ready with a cheerful word and
helping hand for others. At the
funeral there were many floral offer
ings which showed palmer than mere
words the high esteem in which the
deceased was held by her many Lang
don friends. The sorrowing husband
and four daughters in Oregon have the
sympathy of the people of this COM
munity.

WOMAN'S CLUB VISITS Iona

Last Saturday a party of members
of the Langdon woman's club spent a
most enjoyable afternoon at Iona,
where they were entertained by the
ladies of the Iona literary club at the
home of Mrs. H. F. Baker. The pro-
gram of the afternoon included a
number of musical numbers, in addi-
tion to which quite an interesting
paper on home problems of women
was read by Mrs. John Mahon of this
city, at the invitation of the Iona
club. The hostess, aided by the ladies
of the Iona club served their visitors
with refreshments at the close of the
afternoons 8 program, the whole affair
being one of the most cordial well
come. The auto drive to and from
Iona was most enjoyable and the first
available opportunity will be taken by
the Langdon club of returning the de.
lightful compliment extended to them
at Iona last Saturday afternoon by
the ladies of the literary club.

WHAT'S LANGDoN'S POPULATION?

}. H. Harlan, who as city assessor
is also census enumerator of Langdon
city, has now got to where he sees the
end of his task in sight. There are
those who have in a sneering and in
sinuating way asked if we thought the
census of 1915 would show Langdon
as having population of 1000 peo-
pie. Though the figures of Enumera-
tor Harlan will not be made public
until after July LIST we are thoroughly
satisfied in our correctness in stating
that the population of Langdon will
crowd up close to if it does not exceed
1, 300 people, while it should be
borne in mind that those temporarily
stopping here are not counted in the
figures being gathered. Mr.. Harlan
asks that any Langdon people who
have not been seen, where away or
out of town when he called should
call up his office. This is an impor-
tant matter to you as a Langdon
citizen. Give your name, age,
nationality, and whether or not you
are American born.
