FUNERAL AT ST. THOMAS
WELL KNOWN PIONEER
Remains of the Late NJ. II, Row Find Resting
J, Place Beside the Grave oftliS Wife

Last Saturday in the cemetery at
St. Thomas, Mimi, the remains of M.
H. Row, one Of the best known pio
neer residents OF northern Cavalier
county found a last resting place in a
grave by the side of his wife, whose
passing away dates back some thirty
years ago. The deceased, who in his
eighty fourth year, died during the
afternoon OF the 9th inst, quite sud-
denly at the home Of his daughter,
Mrs W. j. Craig, at Kansas City,
Mo-, where he had gone to just before
the holidays with the intention of Wis
iting during the balance of the winter.
Mr.. Row and his son, w. H. Row,
whose death occurred in 1910, had
been identified with this county both
in business way and farming on an
extensive scale since 1885. There
was no illness preceding the end of
this old pioneer, death coming as he
sat in chair, being due to heart
| failure. Considering his extreme ad-
vanced age he was in the best of
health, his only intirmity being a
| lameness which was occasioned some
four years ago, at which time he was
permanently injured by kick receiv-
ed from horse. The news of the
passing away Of M. H. Row, when it
reached here in telegram, came as g
shock to the family and his many
friends who in long years of residence
here had learned to know him as a
man of grand character, true frienc
and just and loving parent.

HOG CHOLERA CASES
FOUND NEAR HANNAH
Bad Outbreak of Three New Cases Developed
in the Vicinity of tiannaF,

j. w. Haw was a passenger on
Mondays train to Hannah to investi-
gate reported outbreak of hog chol-
era in that vicinity. A number of
new cases are understood as having
developed on the stock farm of A. w.
Thompson, who has already had the
misfortune to lose about forty head of
choice herd with the disease. Hogs
on the farms of Howard Mcknight and
Henry Eikenbrock, two of the larger
farmers of that neighborhood, have
also shown symptoms Of having the
cholera and are being innoculated with
the serum which is being supplied
from the state agricultural college at
Fargo, for the stamping out Of the
disease. Late in the fall cases of hog
cholera were found in Waterloo, Mos
cow, Huron, Grey and Linden town
ships, but by promptly being looked
after the disease was thought to have
been pretty we'll eradicated and the
re-appearance of the disease at this
time is thought to be due to the mild
weather which has prevailed since the
beginning of the new year.

HE GOES TO KANSAS
AFTER LAND BUYERS
Booster" Foster Starts on Trip to Kansas for
County Development Association

A. j. Foster left Langdon vester
day with Hutchinson, Kan, as his des-
tlnation and expects to spend the time
from now until spring in the states of
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri. fol-
lowing up the work done last fall in
the interest of the Cavalier county
farm lands to parties known to be
seeking new homes in the west. Mr..
Foster is being sent on this trip bv
the Development Association of Cava-
lier county recently organized by men
who for past years have been actively
identified with the growth and devel-
opement OF the county. 1t is not
their aim to induce eastern specula-
tors to invest in our farm lands. but
to interest individual farmers seeking
homes of their own in the west to
locate here. The association has
adopted as its motto: "a Farmer on
Every Quarter Section, and with the
farms owned by the men who till
them, the development and increase
in value may be more quickley realiz-
ed than generally supposed. Kansas
is the state upon which Mr.. Foster
will center his work on this trip. He
already has number of parties inter
ested and there is every reason tc
believe with the opening of spring a
number of pieces of farm nronertv
that have up to this time been operat-
ed by renters will become the home OF
some new settler who will help build
up and develop the county.
