a few months residents of Alexander

already well under way for the con-

The machinery and other material has

to begin about Dec. 1.
Charley Green and Elliott Engh,
two of our most prominent and pro-
gressive farmers are the men behind
the move. They have both been
farming in this locality. They have
both farmed quite extensively and
have made success of their farming
business. The flour mill idea has
been on their minds for the past two
years, and after having studied the
matter from every angie, they have

every mayor of every city and town
in the Northwest. This invitation

this excellent opportunity to not only
visit the convention, but to visit the
Equity Exchange; to find out some
thing of its inside workings; to get &C.

Judging from the position in which

The accident was not discovered un-
til 1870 o'clock when the Waterman
of the building, anxious to see how
matters were progressing, looked into
the pit. He saw the motionless body
and at once notified DR.. Callende: who
after viewing the body said that life
had passed and that death must have
been instantaneous.
The local police were also notified
and Sergent Sydness was soon on
the scene and directed the removal of
the body. 1t was taken in charge by
Undertakers Gard & Moore.
The dead man was we'll known in

The Equity movement in the North

over it's success, not only the society
in vastly increasing it's membership,
making it tremendous power where
ever it has found fertile soil, but in
the establishment and permanency Of

parations to take care Of all those who
come to the city at this time. The rail

charter cars, to secure them on per

special cars to occupy during their

BIG CATTLEMAN RETREATS

COlOnel WeluLlau. bOIu az CloAhAOA =,
Germany, in 1S4S, he emigrated to this
country at an early age and located in
New York state. Later he enlisted in
the Twenty.second regiment OF the
United States army and after this regi-
ment was ordered west he was mus
tered out at Fort Stevenson, North
Dakota.
It was but short period after that
the Indian troubles started and Colonel
Weidman again joined the government
forces as scout and message carrier.
1t was during these times that he
had his most eventful and thrilling ex-
periences. He was placed in charge
of the transportation of troops from
one place to the other and owing to
the hostility of the Indians the selec-
ton of routes was often a most hazard
GUS matter.
Although he had great influence with
the redmen, there were times when
they refused to confer with any white
man, and during these times he was
compelled to pick his trail during the
night and hide during the day. Colonel
Weidman asserts that in most in
stances he found the Indians peace
fully disposed, but there were times
in the warfare when it would have
been extremely perilous for a white
man, no matter who he was, to expose
himself within range of Indian rifles.
He was instrumental, in many cases,
however, in pacifying the tribes and
preventing uprisings. ! ~
In his day Colonel Weidman was
known as the greatest rider in this
territory. AS breaker of horses he
had few equals in all the west. And
as rife shot he had few peers.
He wildly recalls the great buffalo
hunts, when the herds roamed in huge
numbers over the spots on which Minot
and other progressive cities now stand.
The buffalo were so plentiful that
the pack trains and caravans, going
overland, had to be heavily guarded.
On one occasion boat containing him
self and large party, was held up in
the middle of stream for two hours
while great herd crossed the stream
When Colonel Weidman came into
North Dakota the Indians were still
doing their hunting with bows and ar.
rows. But with the advent of the
white men they soon became equipped
with the more modern weapons and it
was then that the real slaughter of the
buffaloes started.
1t was Colonel Weidman who acted
as chief guide and scout to the party
Of English noblemen on their great
hunt, following their attendance at the
opening of the state capital at Bis
marck.
Following settlement of the Indian
troubles Colonel Weidman established
his ranch at the big bend of the Mis-
souri, and from that time on he has
been actively engaged in the cattle and
stock business. At present his ranch
is equipped with 1000 head of cattle
and 500 horses, although he has, at
times, ranched considerably more than
this.
At his proposed new ranch, just
across from the big bend, ne will have
still larger range upon which to car
ry on his extensive business and ex-
pand in the handling of horses and
cattle.

they have now gained a slight advan-

continuous battle for several days.
Notwithstanding the persistence of
