Mrs. D. M Shorb and daughter,
Henrietta, have been the guests Of
Mrs. George Heger at Minot for sever
al days the past week. They attend
ed the Mid-winter fair while there.
The funeral of Mrs. F. F. Hendrick-
son, who was murdered by her hus-
band, was held from the Brethren
church last Tuesday morning. The
services were conducted by Brother
Lands, assisted by Elders Dierdorff
and Shorb. The parents of Mrs. Hen
erickson, Mr.. and Mrs. Price, reside
in Minot. The funeral was all the
more saddened by the presence of the
little two-year-old child who is left
motherless and whose father now rests
in the hospital at the point of death.
The crime was particularly atrocious
one. Mr.. Hendrickson, the husband,
had Just finished short Jail term
when he hunted up Mrs. Hendrickson
and demanded fifteen dollars from
her which she had received from home.
Upon her refusal to give it to him he
shot her twice, one bullet lodging in
her shoulder and the other going into
her heart. He then turned the gun
upon himself but his bullet was not so
true. He is seriously wounded but it
is thought he will recover 1mmed-
lately upon his recovery he will be
arrested charged with murder in the
first degree The Price family have
many friends in this vicinity who
sympathize with them in their be-
reavement.
A party of Surrey boys consisting
of John Bradley, Jr., Lahman Lam
bert and Henry Niedermeier are at
tending the Mid-winter fair at Mi
not this week. A number of the boys
will attend day or so at time.
Among those on the sick list this
week are Marcus Burns and Henry
Niedermeier.
We are again in the midst of one of
our cold spells, the thermometer reg
istering close to 40 degrees below on
Wednesday. This sounds very cold
to our eastern friends but in reality
is not so much felt as 20 degree wea-
ther is in climate which is not so
dry as ours.
Examinations in the Surrey High
school for the first semester's work
were concluded this week. An ex-
cellent record was established. Alto
gether there was total of fifty-three
examinations given and not a single
failure was recorded. Surrey has
much to boast of in the school line.
The High school inspector not long
ago gave US credit for having the best
schools for any town Of its size in
the state. There are total of 200
pupils enrolled in the two schools of
the district and total of eight teach
ers. The schools are consolidated, the
